How do I recover deleted emails?

Asked 5 months ago
Recovering deleted emails in Microsoft Outlook can often be accomplished with a few straightforward steps. When an email is deleted, it typically goes to the Deleted Items folder, where it may be recovered easily. First, you will want to check this folder by locating it in your email account's folder list. If you find the email you wish to recover, simply right-click on it and select "Move" or "Restore" to bring it back to your inbox or the desired folder. If you cannot find the email in the Deleted Items folder, Outlook has a built-in recovery feature that allows you to recover permanently deleted messages within a certain time frame. This feature can be accessed by navigating to the Deleted Items folder and looking for the option labeled "Recover items recently removed from this folder." Keep in mind that only emails deleted in the last 14 days will be available for this recovery option. If you still cannot locate your deleted emails after trying these methods, you might explore further options or resources mentioned on the official website for additional guidance.
