Any way to recover deleted PMs?

[OverLord]

I accidentally erased a PM with an address I needed to send something out to a member here, is there any way to recover my deleted PMs? PLEASE HELP!

Never Mind he found me...But, it is a good question for future reference..

There are ways, but it would require you providing the sender, then we'd have to go digging through that person's PMs via the database, which I won't do.

So, while yes, there are ways, I don't know of any that I'll do. I don't go near anyone's PMs, except my own.

Once you delete a PM, it's gone from the database entirely (at least according to the VB site). So unless it was around long enough to be saved in one of the database backups, there's no way of getting it back.

I'd bet it's still in the sent items of the sender, unless they delete it.

That said, I'm not going looking -- PMs are none of my business, unless I send them or they're sent to me.
