I use AOL and would like to know if bits and pieces or parts of emails are stored somewhere on the hard drive after they have been deleted from mailbox, and if so, where and how do I find them?
Thanks

Try going into the "Organize" folder (under your AOL installation folder) and find the screenname(s) that You want to view data for. Then open this file(s) with a good quality text editor (notepad generally can't handle larger files) or Wordpad. You should see message/mail data there... difficult to read/not formatted, but the words are there. You may not find everything you're looking for, but you might be surprised what's in there.
