Groupwise problem

We need more information. Were you running a locally cached copy of Groupwise. Why did you delete them (accident)? Can you just restore them using something like GetDataBack or other product.

It is not possible to view the messages in a third party app with out access to the files you deleted.

Then cross your fingers and hope that the blocks on the hard disk that held the files have not been over written yet.
You will need to do a file undelete. I like the Recuva app from my self for this need. If you can recover the NGWGUARD.DB file, you will be able to rebuild the msg.db and user.db doing a structural rebuild in GWCheck. It also requires that you did not delete anything else but the files you noted in your OP.
The DC file is easily replaceable, just pull it from the PO folder in distribution media. There is not user data in the file, it is just database schema.
