Help! I accidently deleted a distribution list in Outlook 2002 and can't get the names/addresses back. I ran the MS Inbox Repair Tool for recovery of PST files but it didn't work. I have also tried a couple of freeware apps that haven't worked. I even tried a system restore to a point a few hours before the deletion. Nothing is working. The list contained hundreds of contacts. I welcome any suggestions!

When you deleted the list it didn't move to the Deleted Items folder? If its not there try selecting the Deleted Items icon, then click Tools and then Recover Deleted Items.

My understanding is that the contacts folder is treated differently than the others and therefore the deletions from contacts does not go into the deleted items folder. I did check out your suggestion and couldn't find "recover deleted items" under tools (or any where else). Thanks for the input.

Check this out....
-Recover deleted items from any folder
After you add the registry value you should see the recover deleted items... under the Tools menu.

that sounds cool - but does this provide some level of recovery on a standalone Outlook client?
