How do I recover permanently deleted emails

Question

How do I recover permanently deleted emails in hotmail?

Answer 1

To recover permanently deleted emails in Hotmail, you can use the Recover Deleted Items feature. When you permanently delete an email, it is moved to the Recoverable Items folder, specifically into a subfolder named Deletions. Here are the steps to recover your deleted emails:

1. Log in to your Hotmail account (Outlook.com).
2. Go to the Deleted Items folder.
3. At the top of the page, you should see an option that says Recover items deleted from this folder. Click on it.
4. A list of recoverable items will appear. Select the emails you want to recover.
5. Click on the Restore button to recover the selected emails back to your inbox.

Keep in mind that there is a retention period for deleted items, which is typically 14 days, but it can be modified by administrators. If the retention period has expired, the emails may no longer be recoverable.
