I accidentally deleted some emails using the Outlook client, and I am unable to recover them. I can only solve this problem by moving to another folder. How to solve it?

    Hi @Cranbin

    How did you delete emails? (Delete/ Shift +Delete)

    If you delete an email by the Delete key, the situation you described will occur. The deleted email will go into the Deleted Items folder. You can right-click to move to the position you want to move.

    If you delete an email via Shift+Delete, the following prompt will appear. And this message does not go to the Deleted Items folder. You can click the recover deleted items from server option in the ribbon to restore.
