[<rant> Why anyone needs/or wants anything in Deleted Items is beyond me,
assuming one deleted the message intentionally. That's like using your
trash bin to store your groceries IMO. </rant>]
You now find Deleted Items.dbx in Recycle Bin? (Hmm.) Right-click on it >
Cut > Paste it into a new folder on your desktop which you've created for
this purpose. Do *not* Restore it to your identity's store!

DBXtract

DBXtend (additional functionality)

DBXpress (faster, more powerful, with even greater functionality)
http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/Default.aspx
~~~~~~~~~~~
Close OE. Run any of the above applications on Deleted Items.dbx in the
desktop folder. If one of them successfully recovers any messages, count
yourself fortunate. Do *not* import Deleted Items.dbx back into your
store! Recovered messages may be dragged into an open OE folder, but...
Don't use Inbox, Sent Items or Deleted Items to archive messages. Move them
to local folders created for this purpose.
Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a manual
compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/files/maintain.htm.
Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause such
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.
