restore delete folder possibility?, how can restore the deleted folder
 
Hi,
unfortunatelly i accedent have deleted  one of my account the "SENT" folder.
Can i restory it?  
 
theBat gives you 3 ways to delete a folder
1 move to trash - moves everything to the trash folder
2 wipe - deletes the folder and the associated message base
3 leave message base intact - only deletes the folder from theBat view, but the message base remains.

So if you selected 1, just restore the things from the trash. If you selected 3, create a new folder with the same name and restart theBat, then it will show the messages.

But if you selected 2, it's harder. To check, see if there is a physical folder with that name under your
<mail folder>\<account folder>, and if there is a messages.tbb file inside. If yes, we have case 3. If not, check the Windows recycle bin first, I don't know if TB puts stuff there or deletes directly.
If nothing there, use some tool that can recover deleted files, there are plenty and your chances are good (in case your disk is not NTFS formatted, you may even try the DOS 'undelete' command first).  
Don't perform any file I/O operations before running the recovery tool, as this decreases the chance to recover the files.

I have interesting thing, because I am using No1 way, but if i delete from sent folder files does not go to the main recycle bin. It does not work:((

It is remain empty.

second hand i dont use recycle bin on the drive where the Bat! is, so it seems like to say Bye-bye my files.:(

 
when you delete a message, it actually remains in the message base for the folder - just disappears from the folder view. Messages are really deleted only when you compress the folder.

So select your Sent folder, then click the 'Folder' menu -> 'Browse deleted messages' , maybe you'll see messages that you need. If so move them to another folder (not sure if moving them to the same folder will undelete them), and when you finish move all saved messages together in the Sent folder.

Repeat the above for the Trash folder.
