Topic: System.log and log files in general

Hi,

It seems that someone has used my Mac and deleted my entire email folder. Is there a way to possibly retrieve that folder? I am using Mac OS 10.3 and Entourage (Office X).
And can I check the logs to see what time the files were deleted?

Thanks

Re: System.log and log files in general

well, i know very little about macs but its worth searching for a "undelete" program, when you delete a file it is just flagged as deleted (like a archive or hidden flag) and this means it is possible to retrieve the data assuming that the data of the file has not been overwritten by new data since you deleted it
