Recovering deleted items once Kmail trash is emptied
Hi Is there anyway of recovering items that have been deleted by "emptying" KMail's trash folder? I suspect not, and certainly the KMail manual suggests that once it's gone, it's gone.

Now when I do update-grub in Debian, it detects all OSes installed in the hard drives connected to the system, but does not detect Fe... 13 Jul 2010 02:11
