restoring a deleted folder

I messed up while multitasking & inadvertently deleted one of my
folders for storing message. I searched the deleted files folder
unsuccessfully for either the folder or its contents & I also searched
the mac trash can unsuccessfully. Can anyone tell me whether, how I
can get it or its contents back?? Thanks.

If you have not since then emptied the deleted items folder in Entourage,
the folder will still be there as a subfolder of 'Deleted Items' - it will
not appear in the file listing for deleted items, but will be there in the
folder listing (extreme left hand column, unless you have suppressed display
of that column). If it is there, just drag it from there to the inbox or
whatever posityion it last occupied.

If the Deleted items folder has been emptied (and this can happen by
schedule when you quit entourage) then I'm sorry, but there's no way to
recover it.

thanks Barry. I deliberately didn't delete anything pending hearing
back from the Group, so I was able to find the folder and restore it
just like you said. Thanks for taking the time to respond. M
