Recover an email I deleted
Outlook keeps deleted items recoverable for 30 days. After that, it’s a backup restore.
- In Outlook, click the Deleted Items folder.
- If you can see the email, right-click → Move → Inbox. Done.
- If not, click “Recover items recently removed from this folder” at the top of the message list.
- Find your email, tick it, choose “Restore Selected Items”.
- The email returns to Deleted Items — move it to your Inbox.
- Older than 30 days? Our Acronis backup keeps mailbox snapshots for 12 months. Email Warren with the sender, date and rough subject.
Still stuck after those?
You’ve done the right thing by trying. Send whedo.it a quick note — what you tried, what you saw — and a senior pair of eyes will be on it the same business day.
