When you drop an email in Outlook, it goes to the Deleted Items folder. Microsoft Outlook does not clean this folder on its own, unlike Gmail.
Your deleted emails stay in the Deleted Items folder until you decide to delete them. When you do, they go to the Recoverable file folder. They stay there for up to 30 days.
You can get back your deleted emails during these 30 days. But when these 30 days are over, the emails get erased forever. Then, it is very hard to get them back.
Archiving email is a better way to declutter your email inbox. Check out how to achieve email and its benefits to be on the safer side.
There are 4 easy ways to locate emails in Outlook now. These ways work on the web, Windows, Mac, and mobile devices for Outlook.
Try an easy method to get back your recently deleted emails from the Outlook inbox.
To get back your removed email fast, use the Outlook keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Z for Windows or ⌘+Z for Mac.
This way, you will move your email from the bin to where it was before. But it works only if you have not done anything else after deleting it.
After you delete the email, press Ctrl+Z or ⌘+Z many times to undo other changes.
Use this method if you have just deleted the emails. Try another way for older deleted emails.
Your email might be in the Deleted Items folder if you deleted it before. Here is how to get it back:
Step 1: Open Outlook.
Step 2: Go to the Deleted Items folder.
Step 3: Look for the email you want back. Hold Shift (⇧) to pick more than one email. To choose all, press Ctrl+A (Windows) or ⌘+A (Mac).
To find an email, search by date, sender, or subject.
Step 4: Click “Move” in Outlook and select “Inbox” to bring emails back.
The email comes back to your inbox. Save important ones to a cloud or your computer.
An email goes to the Recoverable Items folder after you delete it from Deleted Items. It stays there for 30 days. You cannot see this folder in Outlook for Mac; it is only on the web app. To get emails back, do this:
Step 1: Go to Outlook.com.
Step 2: Open the Deleted Items folder.
Step 3: Click “Recover items deleted from this folder” to see Recoverable Items.
Step 4: Choose the emails to take back.
Step 5: Click “Restore” to get your emails back.
Your emails should be in your inbox now. Remember, emails stay in the Recoverable Items for 30 days only. After this time, it gets very hard to get back emails, but it still can be possible.
If Outlook’s own ways do not work, try software like Recovery Toolbox for Outlook or Email Recovery.
This software searches your Outlook files better and may find emails you thought were gone forever.
Look at what other users say before you pick a software. Make sure it works with your Outlook. Choose software that protects your private information.
Step 1: Put the email recovery software on your computer.
Step 2: Open the software and let it look through your Outlook.
Step 3: If you can, look at the emails you can get back and choose which ones you want.
Step 4: Begin getting the emails back.
Step 5: After you get the emails back, keep them in a safe place.
This method might not always work, but it can sometimes get emails back in Outlook.
