Can you retrieve deleted junk mail in outlook

The eternal struggle of dealing with junk mail in Outlook!

Unfortunately, Outlook does not have a built-in feature to retrieve deleted junk mail. Once you delete an email, it's gone forever (or at least, until you use a third-party tool or add-in).

However, there are a few workarounds you can try to recover deleted emails in Outlook:

  1. Check the "Deleted Items" folder: If you've deleted an email recently, it might still be in the "Deleted Items" folder. You can access this folder by going to the "Folder" tab in the ribbon and clicking on "Deleted Items." If you find the email you're looking for, you can restore it by dragging it back to the "Inbox" or another folder.
  2. Use the "Recover Deleted Items" feature: Outlook has a built-in feature called "Recover Deleted Items" that allows you to recover deleted emails. To access this feature, follow these steps:
    • Go to the "File" tab in the ribbon.
    • Click on "Info" and then "Manage Accounts."
    • Select the account you want to recover deleted items from.
    • Click on "Recover Deleted Items" and follow the prompts.
  3. Use a third-party email recovery tool: There are several third-party tools available that can help you recover deleted emails in Outlook. Some popular options include:
    • EaseUS Email Recovery: This tool can recover deleted emails from Outlook, including those that have been deleted from the "Deleted Items" folder.
    • Kernel for Outlook Email Recovery: This tool can recover deleted emails, including those that have been deleted from the "Deleted Items" folder.
    • Recuva: This tool can recover deleted files, including emails, from your computer.

Keep in mind that these tools may not always be able to recover deleted emails, especially if they've been deleted for a long time or if your computer's hard drive has been overwritten.

To avoid losing important emails in the future, consider setting up a backup system for your Outlook data. You can use Outlook's built-in backup feature or a third-party backup tool to ensure that your emails are safe and can be recovered if needed.
