Delayed Emails disappeard

Question

I had about 60 emails set to be sent out at various delayed dates. These messages were located in the outbox. I had to do a total reset/wash on my computer because of another issue. I thought that this would not effect my outlook because it is a online application, but when I logged back into outlook all the delayed messages in the outbox were gone. How can I retrieve these?

Hi @Leftwich, Benjamin

Typically Outlook outboxes are attached to your local mailbox file (Offline Outlook Data File (.ost)). If you have wipe your computer than that means that you have wiped your local outbox.

The last place I would check is Outlook Online for your Outbox at https://outlook.live.com/mail -- If it is not there, then I am afraid your messages are gone.
