Deleted Mail: Is There a Way to Recover It?

[arsenalgear]

Hi,

Last night I deleted an account in Leopard (10.5.5) Mail. I backed up all the messages in the account's inbox, but I stupidly forgot to back up the messages in the sent folder. Is there a way I can recover these messages?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I'm guessing Time Machine wasn't active?

Nope.

I'm not too hot on the Apple side of data recovery. Best thing is to not use that drive if you can, and try and recover the deleted files. I'll let more knowledgable folk answer the rest.
