How can I recover deleted emails from my Hotmail account?
To recover deleted emails from a Hotmail account, users can follow a series of steps to attempt restoration of their missing messages. First, it is important to note that deleted emails are typically moved to the "Deleted Items" folder. To begin, users should log into their Hotmail account and navigate to this folder located on the left-hand side of the inbox. If the emails are found there, they can be easily restored by selecting them and either moving them back to the inbox or clicking on the option to restore.
If the emails are not in the "Deleted Items" folder, Hotmail offers a feature called "Recover Deleted Items." Users can access this feature by clicking on the "Deleted Items" folder and then looking for the option labeled "Recover items deleted from this folder." This will display emails that have been deleted in the last thirty days, allowing users to select the emails they wish to recover.
However, if the emails have been permanently deleted and are outside the recovery window, they may not be retrievable. In such cases, users should regularly back up their important emails to avoid loss in the future. For additional assistance or detailed instructions, users may want to check the support pages available on the Hotmail or Microsoft websites.
