How to Recover Deleted Items in Outlook

Personally, I can tell that having accidentally deleted your emails is not something funny at all. You can surely accomplish such a dull thing in many ways. For example, you wanted to select multiple items, but you mistakenly selected an email that you would have wanted to keep instead. However, it was late to do anything when you found out that an important email was missing, and you have just emptied your trash.

Now if that’s the case or something similar had happened to you, don’t worry too much. We are going to talk more about deleted email recovery in the following sections. First, we are going to talk about two ways to recover deleted items in outlook provided by the Microsoft Support. One alternative method is using an email recovery software that I am going to present in detail in the following sections.

Solution 2: How to Recover Deleted Items from Outlook PST Files

PST files stands for “Personal Storage Table” and is an Outlook data file format that is used to store messages and other related items on personal computers. In my view, that’s basically a local copy of your mailbox on your mail server.

However, if your PST file gets corrupted or damaged, you will not be able to import anything. If that’s the case, I am going to show you an email items recovery software that can help you recover deleted items form a damaged PST file.
