Additional Tips:

• Regularly back up your Outlook PST file to prevent data loss.
• Use a third-party email client backup software to automatically backup your Outlook data.
• Consider enabling the "AutoArchive" feature in Outlook to periodically move old emails to an archive folder, reducing the likelihood of accidental deletion.

Remember to act quickly when trying to recover deleted emails, as the longer you wait, the lower the chances of successful recovery.
