Recover deleted messages

Not necessarily. All emptying the recycle bin does is confirm areas ok for overwrite. The data's still there until overwritten. It's not quite so easy to truly erase data.
Lots of people have been busted because they believed emptying the recycle bin erased their files.
I haven't tried this, but:

TMGuy,
If you are on an Exchange Server network it might well be possible to recover deleted emails - providing your network admin has enabled this (it's pretty much standard practice to have recovery enabled).
To check if you have any items that can be retrieved:
- Go into your Deleted Items folder.
- From the Tools menu, select Recover Deleted Items.
If you can see the item you would like to restore, simply highlight it and click on the little icon that looks like an envelope with an arrow. Your restored item will appear in the Deleted Items folder.
Hope this helps...

To enable Deleted Item Recovery on mail folders other than Deleted Items (such as Sent Items, Drafts, Outbox, and Inbox), the following registry entry needs to be made:
Add the DWORD value DumpsterAlwaysOn =1 to the following registry key of the administrator's Outlook client
1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Exchange\Client\Options
This can be done either at the administrator's computer or the user's computer. After this value is added, the Recover Deleted Items option becomes available for all the other mail folders mentioned earlier. The user can recover deleted items from these folders. This procedure can become tedious if it is done on all user workstations. An easier solution is to make this registry modification on the administrator's computer and then have the administrator open the affected user's mailbox as an additional mailbox. The administrator can then recover deleted items from the user's mailbox mail folders.
