I accidentally deleted a folder I created in Outlook Express. Is there a
way of getting it back?

Is it in Deleted Items?
Do you still have a dbx file for the folder in the message store?
Have you compacted lately which would have left a bak copy file in the
Recycle Bin, and or, the message store?
Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder will reveal the location of
your Outlook Express files. Write the location down and navigate to it in
Windows Explorer or, copy and paste it into Start | Run.
In WinXP, Win2K & Win2K3, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default
marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable
Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options
Icon | View, or in Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | View.

Read the following carefully and you should have success.
In the message store in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx file for the
missing folder and drag it to the Desktop at the top of the folder tree.
Open OE and create a folder with the *exact* same name as the one on your
Desktop. Open the new folder and then close OE. (You must do this). Go back
to Windows Explorer and Click Desktop and drag the file from the Desktop to
the OE store folder that you clicked on to reveal the .dbx files. Prompt -
"Do you want to overwrite......."? Click Yes.

1. Move it to My Documents.
2. Create a folder by [exactly] the same name in OE.
3. Open the new folder..
4. Close OE.
5. Move the original folder back, overwriting the new one.
6. Open OE and check it.
