Title: Cheating Spouse
Post by: Mark Black on August 20, 2005, 11:01:15 PM

I recently returned from Iraq and discovered that my wife has been cheating with three different men when I looked in her outlook mailbox one afternoon.  I am going to file for divorce next week but I want to copy the entire outlook file from the computer without her knowing.  How can I quickly get the entire outlook copied? Can I get the deleted emails as well?

What you are looking down the barrel at is very very personal.  I suggest you get professional/legal assistance in order to show that the copied material does indeed come from your wife's mail system and is not just a figment of your imagination.

Sorry, I can't help you.

I would take out the entire Hard Disk Drive and store it somewhere safe.

Make a drive image on CDRs for forensic analysis. Copy Outlook Mail folder to a CDR.

Mark, you have to make sure you're dealing with 'Outlook', not 'Outlook Express'.   Once your sure which program you're dealing with, do a search for the folder.   Copy the folder (found in search) under the User name, not the one from 'Program Files' to a floppy or cd.   Then get a friend or lawyer to import them into their program to be examined.   She won't know you've done this (at least, not easily).
