Worth trying this - assuming deleted files have not already been overwritten! - http://www.active-undelete.com/lite.htm

I think OE's files are a btree type database, which are notoriously hard to recover I'm afraid

Yep sure they are (trying hard to remember much about OE's dbx files)

after seventies most file systems and db systems were organized as btree structure.. recovery not that hard if proper precautions are done by programmers..  however, its an important fact that some programmers go for the easy and simply overwrite old/deleted siblings without logs (or re-organize).. I have spent considerable time on them for better efficiency some 20+ years ago    by the way writing mutually recursive functions are beyond the scope of many programmers..
