How to recover permanently deleted mail from trash in gmail

The frustration of accidentally deleting an important email!

Recovering permanently deleted emails from the Trash folder in Gmail is not possible, as the Trash folder is designed to hold deleted emails for a limited time before they are permanently deleted. However, there are a few methods you can try to recover your email:

Method 1: Check the Trash folder

  1. Log in to your Gmail account.
  2. Click on the "Trash" folder in the left-hand menu.
  3. Check if your email is still in the Trash folder. If it is, you can restore it by clicking on the "Restore" button next to the email.

Method 2: Use Gmail's "Undo Send" feature

If you have enabled the "Undo Send" feature in your Gmail settings, you may be able to recover your email. Here's how:

  1. Log in to your Gmail account.
  2. Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner and select "See all settings."
  3. Scroll down to the "General" tab and look for the "Undo Send" setting.
  4. If you have enabled "Undo Send," you should see a "Undo" button next to the "Send" button when you compose a new email.
  5. If you clicked "Send" and then realized you made a mistake, click the "Undo" button within a few seconds to recall the email.

Method 3: Use a third-party email recovery tool

There are several third-party email recovery tools available that claim to recover deleted emails from Gmail. Some popular options include:

  1. Email Recovery Tool (ERT) by EaseUS
  2. Gmail Recovery by Recover My Emails
  3. Email Recovery by Disk Drill

Please note that these tools may not always work, and there are no guarantees of success. Additionally, some of these tools may require you to have a backup of your Gmail account or access to your email account's IMAP settings.

Method 4: Contact Gmail support

If none of the above methods work, you can try contacting Gmail support to see if they can help you recover your email. You can submit a request through the Gmail Help Center or contact them directly through their support form.

Remember to always be cautious when deleting emails, and consider using the "Undo Send" feature or setting up a backup system to protect your important emails.
