I'm not sure what you are asking about. If you want to recover the deleted messages from Drafts, Inbox and Sent -- yes, it's probably possible. The mail folder files are just big plaintext files -- if you load them into a plaintext editor (one that is able to handle large files, that is) the old emails are plainly visible. This page gives a bit more detail on the internal structure: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Recover_messages_from_a_corrupt_folder To undelete them takes a bit more work. This Mozillazine post gives some ways to do it: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Undelete_a_message And this one gives the nitty-gritty details about the all-important X-Mozilla-Status field: http://www.eyrich-net.org/mozilla/X-Mozilla-Status.html?en -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
