Try download Restoration

http://hccweb1.bai.ne.jp/~hcj58401/

its a freeware to undelete files
find OE datafiles i.e.

folder.dbx
inbox.dbx
outbox.dbx
Sent Items.dbx
and other folder you might remember

If you have not install any new program or write anything into the harddisk, you might recover those files without any problem.

good luck.

[edit]
before you do the above, its a good idea to check whether the files are still exist in OE store folder.
to find OE store folder:
In OE : Tools>Options>click Maintenance tab>click Store Folder

If they still there just do File>Import>messages
[end edit]
