MS Outlook is an email application from Microsoft, which is the most popular email client. It is obtained either as a standalone application or as the part of the MS Office product suite. It not only takes care of emailing, but also provides the functionality to manage the calendar entries, contacts, meetings, notes, etc. It stores the data in the form of PST files, which can be up to 20 GB in the Outlook 2003 and later versions. However, sometimes the emails (or any other item) get deleted due to various reasons from the PST file. You should look for appropriate measures to recover such items. However, if you are unable to recover the deleted emails then you should use a third-party deleted email recovery software to do the needful.
Consider a scenario wherein you are using Outlook 2007 in your system. You are having a real bad day at the office. In the course of things, you get an email from a tourism firm that you have won a vacation over the weekend. As you were in a bad mood, you straightaway deleted the email and left for the day. Next day, things get fine and you suddenly recalled that email and think of going for the short vacation. When you check for the email, you find that it is not there. Not even in the Trash folder. You have no idea what happened to that email after deletion.
Cause:
The most possible reason for this scenario is that you may have selected the Empty the Deleted Items folder on logoff option. This option clears the Deleted Items folder when you quit Outlook.
Resolution:
First things first, you should turn-off the Empty the Deleted Items folder on logoff option if you want to avoid such situations in the future. However, to recover the deleted email you can use the in-built Recover Deleted Items option in Outlook 2007. However, sometimes the Recover Deleted Items folder is not able to recover all or the specific items that you particularly require.
In such cases, you should use a third-party deleted mail recovery software to recover all the items. Such read-only tools are able to recover deleted mails in a PST, EML, or MSG file without overwriting the original contents.
