Email is such a quick communication tool that sometimes we get hasty in its handling. Act too fast, and you may accidentally delete an important email. Do not despair. Deleted emails are not physically erased until the trash has been emptied.
Most email programs leave the contents of the trash bin untouched for 30 days, unless the trash has been manually emptied by you, the user. There are a few quick moves you can make to retrieve deleted emails from the trash before it's too late.
Go to the panel on the sidebar of your email program. It will have have a list of folders such as "Inbox," "Sent," "Spam" and "Contacts."
Scroll down until you find the folder labeled "Trash."
Click on the trash icon and look for your missing email by reading the subject lines. If you don't remember what the subject line said, look for the date it was sent or the names of the other parties who received it.
Find the email you are looking for and click on it. In many email programs there will be a checkbox to click. Select the action "Move to inbox," located at the top of the window. Your email will be safely retrieved and put back in your inbox.
