Hi there
does anyone know if you can find your deleted emails, i have deleted some of my emails from my Hotmail Inbox and i was just wondering if they would still be in cyber space :)
If they are, is it possible to find them with some program? Am i asking a very funny question or what???? :)

thanks to any response

Hotmail...web interface only, right? I'd bet the messages are long gone. Perfection in engineering does not happen when there is nothing more to add. Rather it happens when there is nothing more to take away.
 
There is one possibility for recovering some of the deleted messages. If you viewed the message earlier through your browser the message will be in your Temporary Internet Folder until it ages out. So it is crucial that you don't let your Temp Int space age or reach maximum capacity. Roll back your computer clock to a day after the event occurred, and set to maximum the space available.

Once it ages out you may be able to recover it as a deleted file assuming it has not been overwritten but I cannot recall if deleted Temp Int files are recoverable.
