How to Recover Deleted Email With Recovery Tool

It is also possible that an upset sibling or roommate decided to mess with your unattended computer by deleting a deceivingly unimportant email that contained important information about your school or work. You do not need to make a fuss (or maybe you do, just to make them feel super guilty) because they can be recovered back into your mailbox.

How is this possible? Well, when an email or file is deleted, it is relocated to a space where all deleted items are placed in queue to be overwritten either by clicking the "Delete Forever" button or by occupying its space with a new item.
