Ive deleted my bosses email :O Can i get it back...

[Shep_Cobain]

Right guys,

My boss had an email which was really important in Microsoft Office Outlook. It was accidentally deleted, and then further deleted from the deleted items folder.

Is there any way of retrieving this deleted email?

Thanks

No. You're doomed.

OEMail Recovery can do this I think. I think I did this for someone about 6 years ago.

If it's in Exchange, click on the Deleted Items folder, then go Tools -> Recover Deleted Items. It should bring up a list and you can recover them back to Deleted Items and move them wherever.

Backups? Speak to your IT?

 

[freak2002]

Go to deleted items in Outlook.
Tools --> Recover deleted items.

They may be in there but it depends on your IT teams policy on recovery space.

like other have said - tools > recover deleted items if in exchange.

or backups?

 

[Beerbaron]

surely any good company would have daily backups

It will take 3 clicks and less than 5 seconds of your time to go to Recover Deleted Items.

The recover deleted items is useless anyway. I just deleted an item, went to recover it and its not there.

Domain Environment Running Exchange?

You don't have to have this feature enabled, it is not useless.

If it's on an exchange server, it won't get actually deleted for a set amount of days.

Yep. Maybe the deleted mail will appear by next week. This makes the feature pointless as someone who has deleted a deleted item usually wants it straight away (like the thread starter who deleted his bosses email)

We do have daily backups but this isnt an instant fix either

 

[neil_g]

depends what your policy is.. we retain deleted items for 14 days after they leave the trash in outlook. they should appear in there straight away though.

Blame IT, problem solved.
