How to recover permanently deleted emails from an Outlook PST

Solution:
    Make a copy of the PST. Do all of the following from this backup.
    Open a hexeditor. HexEdit is a free hex editor if you need one.  http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~prewett/hexedit/
    Delete positions 7 through 13 with the spacebar. Since you're using hexadecimal numbering, this actually clears 13 characters in the following positions:

    00007, 00008, 00009, 0000a, 0000b, 0000c, 0000d, 0000e, 0000f, 00010, 00011, 00012, 00013
    (The editor displays the code "20" each time you clear a position with the spacebar.)
    After clearing those positions in the file, save it. Your PST is now corrupted.
    Run the Inbox Repair Tool, SCANPST.exe, to recover the file.

    On Win2K and WinNT systems, the executable is located in
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Mapi\1033\NT.

    You can also find it on the Office 2000 CD-ROM in
    \Program Files\Common\System\Mapi\1033\NT.

    On Windows XP, the file is located in
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Mapi\1033.

    And Windows XP Office XP/2002 SP2
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033
