Recover Deleted Draft Message -- Outlook Express

Recover Deleted Draft -- Outlook Express

I was editing a detailed Airport Operational message in my Outlook Draft Folder and I accidentally hit Do No save. The draft is not in my Deleted folder and not in the Recycle Bin.

Does anyone know how to recover a deleted Draft message in Outlook Express?

If anyone knows how to recover a deleted Draft message, please e-mail me.

burner von braun,

Thank you for trying.

With my older version of Outlook, none of those tricks work or even appear on my screen.

I am thinking that since I was working with a Draft and not a sent or received e-mail that was Not Saved as opposed to sending it to my Delete folder, that it is lost and forever gone. :-(

If anyone else has any tricks for recovering a Draft message that was Not Saved, Please pass it on.

Best,
MH

I have found the answer to my question.

Once a draft e-mail is Not Saved, it is lost and gone forever after.

I hope that my experience will prevent someone else from making this mistake.
