Retrieve deleted mail

It has probably happened to you: you delete an email that should be kept. Fortunately, this is easy to rectify. The e-mail is usually not yet permanently deleted. It ends up in the ‘Trash’ folder. Deleted emails remain here for a certain period of time before they really disappear.

Accidentally deleted an email in Outlook.com? There are several ways to get it back. The fastest is the key combination Ctrl+Z. It works as follows if you are in the mail environment:

• Press and hold the Ctrl key on your keyboard. Press the Z button and release.

The most recently deleted mail is restored. Do you want to retrieve several emails at once? To do this, follow these steps in Outlook.com:

• Open the “Deleted Items” folder.
• Click on the bubble for each email that needs to be restored.
• click on To recover.

The deleted emails are back in the Inbox.

It is also possible to restore deleted e-mails in the mail program (the app) Outlook. Retrieve one mail with the key combination Ctrl+Z:

• Press and hold the Ctrl key on your keyboard. Then press and release the Z button.

The deleted email will be restored. You can also retrieve multiple emails at once:

• Open the “Deleted Items” folder.
• Hold down the Ctrl key and click multiple emails at the same time with the mouse. These emails are marked light blue.
• Right click on one of the emails.
• click on Move > Inbox.

The deleted emails are back in the Inbox.

In Gmail, there is a quick way to retrieve deleted emails:

• Press the button Undo that appears on the screen after you delete an email.

The email is back in the Inbox. You can also restore older e-mails or retrieve multiple e-mails at the same time. Do this as follows:

• Open the “Trash” folder.
• Click on the square in front of the email to check it.
  • Click on the squares for multiple mails, if you want to restore more deleted mails at once.
• Click on the folder icon with an arrow on it .
• click on inbox. You can also move the e-mail to another folder if you wish.
