Have you ever accidentally deleted an email that you really wanted to keep? It’s a common problem, but fortunately, there are a few steps you can take to recover deleted emails with Microsoft Office 365. Don’t worry – all is not lost! Let’s take a look at how you can get your emails back and make sure it doesn’t happen again.
Where Are My Deleted Emails?
When you delete an email from your inbox, it goes into the “Deleted Items” folder in Outlook. If the email is still in the Deleted Items folder, then it’s fairly easy to recover – just open up the folder and select the emails you want to recover. Then click on the “Recover Selected Items” button at the top of the screen. Your emails will be returned to their original locations in your inbox or other folders.
What If I’ve Permanently Deleted My Emails?
If you’ve emptied out your “Deleted Items” folder, then recovering those emails is a bit more complicated. Fortunately, with Office 365, there is still hope! To restore deleted items that have been permanently removed from your mailbox (including messages sent directly to trash) go to https://protection.office.com/. Here you can search for specific messages and restore them if needed. You can also use this page to set up retention policies so that deleted items are retained for longer periods of time before being permanently deleted from your mailbox.
How Can I Avoid Losing Important Emails In The Future?
The best way to avoid losing important emails is by setting up backup rules in Outlook or automating backups with third-party software or services like Microsoft OneDrive or Google Drive. This way, if something does happen and an important message gets lost or deleted, you’ll have a copy of it stored safely away and ready for restoration when needed!
Accidentally deleting an important email can be frustrating but luckily there are steps you can take to retrieve them with Office 365. You should always check your ‘Deleted Items’ folder first as they may still be there and then if they’ve been permanently deleted use https://protection.office/com to search for them and restore them if necessary. Finally set up backup rules in Outlook or automate backups so that if something does happen and an important message gets lost or deleted you’ll have a copy of it stored away safely and ready for restoration when needed! With these tips in mind, hopefully you’ll never have any trouble recovering your precious emails again!
