How to recover permanently deleted emails from Outlook Express 6.0

In OE6.0 I have my settings so that on exiting the application all items in
the Deleted Folder are permanently removed. I occasionally run "Compact all
Folders". Sometimes I would like to recover emails deleted since my last
compaction and today see that my "Deleted.DBX" file is large. I presume the
emails are still present there but marked "not for display". Is there a nil
cost way of restoring the deleted emails? I have tried an importing approach
with no success. Thanks in advance for helpful comments.

Not an Office issue. Outlook Express has its own groups under IE or your o/s
or http://www.insideoe.com/

No there isn't any nil cost method of retrieving deleted items.
For the future, reconfigure your OE6 so that it doesn't delete
messages from deleted items folder when exiting.
