First, check Deleted Items

Open the Deleted Items folder. Right-click the email and choose Move, then Inbox.

Emptied Deleted Items?

  1. In Outlook on the web, open Deleted Items.
  2. Click Recover items deleted from this folder.
  3. Select the email and click Restore.

In classic Outlook the same option is under Folder, then Recover Deleted Items.

How long you have

Emails can usually be recovered for a short time after Deleted Items is emptied, normally a couple of weeks. If it is older than that, or very important, message us straight away.
