How to Recover Deleted Mail From Outlook Express

Although most email accounts are Web-based, it is possible to access your email account through Microsoft Outlook Express. Outlook Express allows you to directly connect to your email account on your desktop without opening an Internet browser. Like other email accounts, however, it is possible to delete files you may need in the future. Depending on how long the files have been deleted, you can recover and restore the files back to your inbox.

      Launch Microsoft Outlook Express and log in to your account.

      Click the "Deleted" tab on the left side of your menu screen, situated next to the display of all the emails currently sitting in your inbox.

    • 3

      Look through the emails in the deleted bin. Emails are only stored there for a few days, so if it has been a week or so since the message's removal, you more than likely can't restore the message.

      Check the box next to the deleted mail you want to recover and select the "Move to" option. A small drop-down menu appears with all of your folders displayed.
