Recovering a Folder

Hello,

I accidentally deleted a folder and emptied the trash bin. I have a copy of my Main Identity on an external hard drive which was backed up with time machine.

I'm wondering if somebody can help me recover that specific folder. I don't want to recover the whole identity because I have made changes to other folders and received new messages which went into various folders.

The folder was called Archive and it had over 1200 messages in it.

Thanks,

Robby

See directions here:

Using Time Machine to backup Entourage basics:

It's advised by the developers not to let Time Machine backup your Entourage
database. If the database is copied while being used, the backup could be
corrupt. You can set the Time Machine to exclude the Microsoft User Data
folder and create an iCal event to copy it over at night while not in use so
you get one backup daily in Time Machine.
