    Hi Ian,

    Nice to meet you! My name is Randy and I'm an independent advisor.

    If you’ve permanently deleted your emails, first check the Deleted Items folder in Outlook on the web (desktop browser only). At the top of that folder, select "Recover items deleted from this folder' to access the hidden Recoverable Items folder, where you can restore messages if they’re still available. If you deleted emails and then emptied the Deleted Items folder, they may still exist temporarily in this hidden folder often accessible for up to 30 days, depending on your account type. Beyond that window, or if they were removed from the Recoverable Items folder, the emails are typically gone permanently and cannot be restored through Outlook or Microsoft support.

    Kind regards,
