Can you undelete trash in Entourage?

[Pat Smith]

I was just cleaning out my Trash, permanently deleting at a very fast
pace. Suddenly I saw an e-mail go whizzing past that I needed but it
was too late. It was gone and I hadn't answered it yet or captured the
e-mail address.

Is there any way I can recapture that e-mail? I've already checked the
server of my provider but it was gone from there as soon as I
downloaded it. I'm stumped.

Any way I can get back a "permanently" deleted mesage?

I am on an IMac, O.S. 10.2 using Entourage 10.1.0.

Thanks for any assistance.

P.S. - By the way, the e-mail was in the trash because Entourage seems
to have its own set of rules. Despite fiddling with my settings
endlessly to make it stop and creating rules that are supposed to send
every e-mail with "ebay" anywhere in it directly to my inbox, it
dumps every single e-mail I receive from my ebay customers into the
trash and I have to go picking through the junk to find them. Since I
get several hundred e-mails a day, this is sure a real pain.

If you deleted it from the deleted items folder it's almost certainly gone.

You _may_ be able to recover some of the message text by opening the
Database in a text editor and searching, but it's not a task for the faint
hearted! (and ALWAYS work on a copy!)
