I believe from Deanna's message that she has already fixed the folder  
problem (simply moving the folder back out of the Deleted Items  
folder is the easiest way to fix the problem).

Deanna: if you haven't emptied the Deleted Items folder, then the old  
spam folder will still be there, and the mail will be in it.  If you  
have deleted it, then it's gone.  There are utilities that will  
retrieve deleted mail from an Outlook PST file (as long as you  
haven't compressed it); I don't recall the names of any offhand, but  
google will know.
