How do I recover deleted email? Please help urgently

Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel
Email Client: pop

Hi there, I accidently deleted all my emails and as it is a pop account all emails are deleted on the webmail, too. I tried to go through all the blogs and forums but I didn´t find an answer really.

What i´ve found upto now is following path:
library/caches/metadata/microsoft/entourage/2008...and so on....but I suppose these are only indexed cache files...

Is there any possibility to rebuilt the emails from the database?

thanks in advance

If you have been making backups, find the backup for your Microsoft User
Data folder in your Documents folder. Choose a backup from before the time
you deleted it.

If you haven't been making them, you may have learned a very expensive
lesson. :-( Sorry about that.

In exchange accounts in deleted there is an option of "Recover Deleted Items" under general settings, try to find if U could locate & retrieve it. <http://blog.macmasters.net/2009/04/recover-deleted-items.html>
If not, then call ur service provider whom you have bought this Email address from. He'll help you to retrieve them.
Thanks.

Yes, these are cache files. As Ed mentioned, you've learned a hard lesson.
See this link for options to backup Entourage.

There is a script that only works on Tiger that can recover cache files as
emails.
