3. Restoring deleted items
When you delete an item (whether it is an email message, a folder, a contact, a
calendar item etc.), it is moved into your Deleted Items folder. If
you want to recover an item which is still in your Deleted Items
folder, you can simply drag and drop it to another folder, or
right-click and choose
[Move to folder] as described in Move or Copy
items to a New or Existing Folder.
Deleted items should stay in the Deleted Items folder for 90 days from
the date of deletion, before being automatically removed.
Be aware, some email software automatically empties your Deleted
Items folder when you close them or log out. Check the settings for your
client if you are unsure.
If the 90 day period has expired, or if you (or your email client) already deleted the item
from your Deleted Items folder, it is still possible to recover the
item for a further 7 days. To do this right-click
Deleted Items and choose [Recover Deleted Items].
Select the item(s) you want to recover, and click the icon of a folder with curved arrow to restore the item.
You will now be presented with a Recover to Folder dialog similar to
that described above in Managing Folders.
