How to Recover a Deleted Email Exchange

You can recover emails from your Exchange account by using Outlook.

When you delete an email message from your Microsoft Exchange account in Outlook and empty the Deleted Items folder, the contents of the message is still not erased from the physical server. In fact, you can recover deleted emails through the Outlook interface. Before using the recovery feature, check the Junk Email and Deleted Items folders to make sure the message is not there.

Instructions

1. Launch the Microsoft Outlook application on your PC computer, and log in to your Exchange email account.

2. Click on the "Mail" tab in the lower-left corner of the window.

3. Highlight the "Deleted Items" folder within your Exchange mailbox.

4. Go to "Tools" in the top menu bar and select the "Recover Deleted Items" option. A pop-up window will open with a list of recently deleted email messages that can be recovered.

5. Highlight the message or messages that you want to recover, and click on the "Recover Selected Items" button. The selected emails will immediately be returned to your Exchange inbox.
