    Hi @Rising Flight

    Have you enabled hold on this mailbox?

    If yes, it can prevent emails from being completely deleted from the mailbox.

    I would suggest using Content Search to check if the emails are still in the mailbox.

    If there is no result returned in the search, the emails may probably have been permanently deleted.

    In this case unfortunately it is not possible to get the emails back.
