How do i recover deleted mail in outlook
The frustration of deleted emails! Don't worry, I'm here to help you recover deleted emails in Outlook. Here are the steps:
Method 1: Recover deleted emails from the "Deleted Items" folder
- Open Outlook and navigate to the "Deleted Items" folder. You can do this by clicking on the "Folder" tab in the ribbon and selecting "Deleted Items" from the list.
- Look for the deleted email you want to recover. If you see it, right-click on it and select "Move to Folder" > "Inbox" (or any other folder you want to move it to).
- If you don't see the email, try clicking on the "View" tab in the ribbon and selecting "Show all folders" to expand the folder list.
Method 2: Use the "Recover Deleted Items" feature
- Open Outlook and navigate to the "File" tab.
- Click on "Info" > "Account Settings" > "Account Settings" again.
- Select your email account and click on "Change" next to "Account Settings".
- Click on the "More Settings" button.
- Go to the "Advanced" tab and click on the "Recover Deleted Items" button.
- Select the email account you want to recover deleted items from and click "OK".
- Outlook will display a list of deleted items. Look for the email you want to recover and select it.
- Click "OK" to move the email back to your inbox.
Method 3: Use a third-party email recovery software
- Download and install a third-party email recovery software, such as EaseUS Email Recovery or Kernel for Outlook PST Repair.
- Follow the software's instructions to scan your Outlook PST file for deleted emails.
- Once the scan is complete, select the deleted email you want to recover and follow the software's instructions to recover it.
Important notes:
- The "Recover Deleted Items" feature only works if you have enabled it in your email account settings. To do this, go to the "File" tab > "Info" > "Account Settings" > "Account Settings" again > "Change" next to "Account Settings" > "More Settings" > "Advanced" tab > "Recover Deleted Items" checkbox.
- The "Deleted Items" folder only keeps deleted emails for a limited time, usually 14 days. After that, they are permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.
- If you have deleted an email and it's no longer in the "Deleted Items" folder, it's likely that it has been permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.
I hope these methods help you recover your deleted emails in Outlook!
