Have you ever accidentally deleted an important email while you were reading it? Do you know how to recover a deleted email?

If you find yourself in this situation, don't worry.

In this article, we'll discuss the reason why emails can be recovered, common email recovery software, and most importantly steps to recover emails in the safest and easiest way possible.

Emails can be recovered mainly because in most cases, even when you delete an email, it doesn't immediately disappear completely from the storage device. Typically, emails are marked for deletion and hidden rather than immediately removed from the hard disk.

Therefore, if you want to recover emails, you can use specialized data recovery software to scan your hard disk or storage device. These programs utilize the unused space on the data storage device to search for deleted but not yet completely overwritten data, including emails.

Step 1. Download iMyFone D-Back onto your device.

Step 2. Open the software and click on "PC Data Recovery"on the main interface.

Step 3. Choose the path and wait for the files to be scanned.

Step 4. During the scanning process, you can also use search and filter functions to quickly find the files you want to recover.

Step 5. After the scanning is complete, you can click "Recover" in the bottom right corner. The data recovery expert will promptly restore your email data.

Method 1. Find the Folder Labeled "Deleted Items" or "Recycle Bin"

Many email service providers, such as Gmail and Outlook, move deleted emails to the "Deleted Items" or "Trash" folder. You can refer to their guides and use the search feature provided by the email service provider. Enter keywords or sender information to try to retrieve deleted emails.

Once you locate the deleted emails, there is usually an option to "Recover" or "Move to" available. You can choose to move the emails back to the Inbox or another folder. Some email service providers offer specific guides or tools on how to recover deleted emails.
