Recover Deleted Outlook Messages

I know it has been awhile since I posted so I thought I would post something quick. 

Have you ever accidentally deleted an Outlook message by using Shift-Delete (permanent deletion) or emptied your deleted items and realized that you permanently deleted a message that you want back?

Good news....

If you have Outlook 2010 click on the Folder Toolbar, then choose the Recover Deleted Items button.


A window will pop up with a list of recently deleted messages.  Find the message or messages and then click on the Recover Selected Items icon. 

If you have a previous Outlook version:

Click on the Tools toolbar and choose "Recover Deleted Items....".  Click a message you would like to recover and choose the "Recover Selected Items" icon. 

 If you do not see the item you deleted go to the folder you were in when you deleted the item and try again.

The item will be restored to the folder that you were in when you originally deleted it.

Happy Recovery!
