I am using windows XP. One of my folders that stores e mails was deleted.
Using the Help on Outlook I managed to retrieve it by using the Deleted Items
option. Somehow, once it went back into my folder list, I deleted it again. I
tried using the same process of getting it back from the Deleted Items list,
but it isn't there. Is there anyhere else it may have gone? Will I be able to
get it back?! I'd be really grateful for any help as it's an important
folder!!

Are you sure it isn't listed as a subfolder of the Deleted Items folder?

Yes, it definitely isn't there. It was there the first time the folder got
deleted, but it isn't showing up now. Is there somewhere else it could be?

No, if you've deleted it from the Deleted Items folder as well it's gone.
Are you using a pst-file? Then you may try;

I'm not sure what a pst-file is, so I don't think so. I know that I didn't
actually go into the deleted items and delete it from there. It was deleted
while it was in the folder list. For some reason it just isn't showing up as
if I've deleted it?

Well, I gotta ask...why did you delete it again after recovering it?

If you aren't on an Exchange server, your options are limited, but see if
this helps...

You should make regular backups of all your data, including your PST
file(s), so you can recover more easily/reliably in the future, should this
happen again.

If you're on an Exchange server configured for deleted item retention, and
can't get the items back in tools | recover deleted items, you may have
hard-deleted them - see if
