From an msn account? Some are several months old and not all are on the same computer. All on the same account though.
I need (honest) answers that I can't seem to get from WS without being "fluffed or sugarcoated." I'm braced and ready for what I may read.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Bless to all.

S1S,

If by "msn account" you mean a hotmail.com account, short answer is no. Unfortunately, the long answer is really no too.

You can check in the 'Sent Messages' folder (or any other folders that have been personally created) to see if there's anything in them that has been forgotten and not deleted but you only have 24 hours (or less) to recover a deleted message in hotmail by going to the 'Trash Can' folder.

Sure wish I had better news for you. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

You can recover SOME hotmail messages, depending on how they were written or saved, by running "Norton Unerase" on the computer (it has a slightly different name for PCs, I use Macs).

Most of what you recover will be window or frame settings files, and will look like gibberish, but I've seen some (not all) email text from hotmail this way. It takes a LONG time to recover files this way, and even longer to sift through them, but it does work.

It ain't fun, though... ...as you seem to be prepared.

2Long is right. On the computer(s) the email is accessed from, there is a temp file that is used for internet caching. That file auto clears itself as new space requirements occur.

If you have Norton software on your machine, you could get lucky and find something interesting. If Norton isn't there, you can also buy and install the software and spend the time to sift through the results but be aware that there's a definite chance your H will find out unless you are fairly skilled at uninstalling it again after your done.

I apologize for misunderstanding your original question. I thought you were asking if you could get deleted messages from the msn (Hotmail) account itself.
