Hello...

I just nearly had a breakdown a minute ago (well, about 30 minutes now)

There I was minding my own busines a few days ago, and my mate said "Hey, lets go on holiday", so I proceeded to book flights etc, but a long story short I received confirmation of the flights etc, and left them like that.

So I come home from work today as usual, check my mail, deleting the ones I don't need...Then I thought "Hm, I might have double clicked then...?"...Meh, so I close outlook.

Later this evening, my friend said "oh yeah, have you done the pre-flight details yet online?", so...I goto my email...to look up my booking reference..And guess what? My emails been deleted!!! And it's been removed from the deleted folder :|

So naturally I panic, after about 10 seconds of searching, I find out my emails can be recovered via the .dbx file within outlook...However, several of the demo's I download, are not free and don't allow you to actually recover the emails, let alone find the one I wanted!

Luckily, I found one that listed the holy grail, so like a rampant rabbit I quickly clicked the 'recover' button, and to my joy, it actually recovered it...Without asking for money! :eek:

So now, I'm a happy boy/man/thing again :D

Thanks for listening.

My pleasure :)

I was going to make a thread earlier, crying and asking how to recover the emails...Managed to find a program (luckily) that does it for free thankfully.

I'm surprised Outlook express does that though..considering it's cheap.

That would be boring...

Anyway, if someone runs into said issue I can tell them where to get the program.

Besides, at least it's not a thread about me losing my goldfish or something.
 
I feel that OcUK have had to use the "Thanks for the Info" picture quite a lot recently... maybe we should make our own ^_^

So where you going on holiday?

Did you pay for it all?

Er Barcelona, never been to Spain personally....Only ever been to Holland and Germany really.

And yes it's paid for thanks.

Just got a bit worried when the email was deleted, but all is well.

And yes, a 'Thanks for the info' OcUK pic would be cool.
