Can i recover last year's deleted mail in gmail

The eternal quest to recover deleted emails!

Unfortunately, Gmail's default behavior is to permanently delete emails after a certain period of time, and it's not possible to recover deleted emails once they're gone. However, there are a few scenarios where you might be able to recover your deleted emails:

  1. Trash folder recovery: If you deleted an email and it ended up in your Trash folder, you can recover it from there. Gmail keeps deleted emails in the Trash folder for 30 days. After that, they're permanently deleted. To recover an email from the Trash folder:
    • Log in to your Gmail account.
    • Click on the "Trash" label in the left sidebar.
    • Find the email you want to recover and click on it.
    • Click on the "Move to Inbox" button.
  2. Google's email recovery process: If you've deleted an email and it's not in your Trash folder, you can try Google's email recovery process. This process is only available for emails that were deleted within the last 25 days. To initiate the recovery process:
    • Log in to your Gmail account.
    • Go to the Google Account settings page.
    • Click on "Data & personalization" and then "Download, delete, or make a plan for your data."
    • Scroll down to the "Delete your account or Google services" section and click on "Delete a service or your account."
    • Select "Gmail" and then click on "Delete."
    • Follow the prompts to initiate the recovery process.
    • Google will ask you to confirm that you want to recover the email. If you're sure, click on "Recover."
  3. Third-party email recovery services: There are several third-party services that claim to be able to recover deleted emails from Gmail. These services use specialized software to scan your Gmail account and recover deleted emails. Some popular options include:
    • Email Recovery Pro
    • Gmail Recovery
    • Recover My Email

Please note that these services may not always be successful, and there's no guarantee that they'll be able to recover your deleted emails. Additionally, some of these services may require you to provide access to your Gmail account, which can be a security risk.

In summary, while it's not possible to recover deleted emails from Gmail once they're gone, you can try recovering them from the Trash folder or using Google's email recovery process if they were deleted within the last 25 days. If all else fails, you can try using a third-party email recovery service, but be cautious and make sure you understand the risks involved.
