How to Recover Shift Deleted Emails
If you've shift deleted, or hard deleted, emails in Outlook, there is hope for recovering them. Starting with Outlook 2007 and newer versions, an email recovery tool is enabled by default. Users of older versions of Outlook can use the Microsoft Fix It wizard available as a link from Microsoft's "How Can I Recover Items that I Have 'Hard Deleted' in Outlook?" Web page. Users of newer versions of Outlook can retrieve hard deleted emails straight from Outlook in just a few clicks.
