Did a restore (using backup and restore) and lost important emails

After doing a restore I lost some important emails. Is there any way to get them back? Can I restore my computer to an even earlier time? I did this, I thought it was an earlier time, but it may not have been. It may have been the same restore point in fact. If I restored my computer to an even earlier time would this restore the emails I lost?If not is there any other way to get the emails? My backup drive is my E: drive and I tried getting the emails from there, but you know how microsoft outlook is :sigh:, i just don't know how to do it. Is there anything I can do?Maybe a system restore? I haven't tried that, although it's been a little while, I'd hate to lose something else . It would be worth it though to get the emails back.Thanks a lot.Brad
