How to recover shift deleted mail in outlook

The frustration of accidentally deleting an important email in Outlook! Don't worry, I'm here to help you recover shift-deleted emails in Outlook. Here are the steps:

Method 1: Recover from the "Deleted Items" folder

1. Open Outlook and navigate to the "Deleted Items" folder (usually located in the "On the Server" or "Local Folders" section).
2. Check if the deleted email is still present in the "Deleted Items" folder. If it is, you can recover it by dragging and dropping it back to the "Inbox" or any other folder you prefer.
3. If the email is not in the "Deleted Items" folder, proceed to the next method.

Method 2: Use the "Recover Deleted Items" feature

1. Open Outlook and go to the "File" menu.
2. Click on "Info" and then select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.
3. In the "Account Settings" window, click on the "Data Files" tab.
4. Select the data file associated with the email account where the deleted email was stored.
5. Click on the "Recover Deleted Items" button.
6. Outlook will display a list of recoverable items, including the deleted email. Select the email you want to recover and click "OK".
7. The email will be restored to the "Inbox" or the original folder where it was deleted.

Method 3: Use the "PST Repair" tool

1. If the above methods don't work, you can try using a third-party PST repair tool, such as PST Repair or Kernel for Outlook PST Repair.
2. These tools can scan your PST file and recover deleted emails, including shift-deleted ones.
3. Follow the tool's instructions to scan and recover your PST file.

Prevention is the best cure

To avoid accidentally deleting important emails in the future, consider the following:

• Use the "Shift + Delete" combination to permanently delete emails, rather than just deleting them.
• Regularly back up your Outlook data files to prevent data loss.
• Use a third-party email client with advanced features, such as Microsoft Outlook with Exchange Server, which provides more robust email management capabilities.

I hope these methods help you recover your shift-deleted email in Outlook!
