I've mistakenly deleted a few weeks of AOL email. Is they a way to recover them? I have AOL 5.0 on a Win98SE system. Thanks.

Go to: Mail Center / Recently deleted mail.
I believe it holds it for 24hrs.
If you opened the mail before deleting, check the personal filing cabinet under My Files.

Thanks, Laura, but it has been quite a bit more than 24hrs. I was hoping someone would tell me that the "deleted" mail is lingering around somewhere on the hard drive, and that it could be recovered using some kind of trick or software (e.g., Norton Utilities).

If you never opened the email, then I am afraid you might be SOL.
