How to backup permanently deleted mails

The frustration of permanently deleting an important email only to realize it was a mistake! Don't worry, there are ways to recover permanently deleted emails, but the success rate depends on various factors, such as the email provider, the time elapsed since deletion, and the email client used. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you recover permanently deleted emails:

Method 1: Check your email provider's trash or deleted items folder

  1. Log in to your email account.
  2. Check the "Trash" or "Deleted Items" folder. If the email is still there, you can restore it by moving it back to your inbox.
  3. If the email is no longer in the trash folder, proceed to the next method.

Method 2: Use email client's "Undelete" feature

  1. If you use a desktop email client like Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, or Apple Mail, check if it has an "Undelete" or "Recover Deleted Items" feature.
  2. Enable this feature, if available, and follow the client's instructions to recover the deleted email.

Method 3: Use a third-party email recovery software

  1. Download and install a reputable email recovery software, such as:
    • EaseUS Email Recovery
    • Recuva Email Recovery
    • Disk Drill Email Recovery
  2. Follow the software's instructions to scan your email account for deleted emails.
  3. Select the deleted email you want to recover and follow the software's prompts to restore it.

Method 4: Contact your email provider's support

  1. Reach out to your email provider's support team and explain the situation.
  2. They may be able to recover the deleted email from their backup systems, but this is not always possible.
  3. Be prepared to provide detailed information about the email, such as the subject, sender, and recipient.

Important notes:

Remember, it's essential to regularly back up your emails to prevent data loss. Many email providers offer automatic backup features, or you can use third-party backup services like Backupify or Spanning Cloud Apps.
