Recover Deleted E-Mail

Probably not


If you accidently delete a piece of e-mail, or a folder, you can recover it in the Deleted items folder. If that folder has been emptied, you might have one more chance.


The following method works only on PSTs, when it works.

Things to remember:

This works under very limited circumstances
  • If the PST has begun compacting, it will likely fail
  • You're better off NOT emptying the deleted folder until you are sure you won't need the messages
  • Don't store messages in the folder unless you are sure the messages are trash
  • If, for some stupid reason you move items to the deleted folder and change your mind after emptying the Deleted Items folder, you may be able to recover the messages under very specific conditions.

Delegate Delete Deliveries

Choose the folder


When you delete items from a Mailbox folder of another user where you have deletion privileges, the deleted items go into your Deleted Items folder rather than that of the mailbox owner.

Here are the steps to change that procedure:


Exit and Logoff Outlook

  1. Click Start, and then click Run
  2. Type regedit, and then click OK
  3. Locate the registry key that is appropriate for your version of Outlook
    For Outlook 2003: 
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Options\General
    (Use 12.0 for 2007 etc.)
  4. Right-click the DelegateWastebasketStyle value, and then click Modify

    If the key is not present, use the following steps to create it:
    1. Right-click the General folder
    2. Point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
    3. Type DelegateWastebasketStyle, and then press ENTER

    4. Change the value data in the Edit DWORD Value dialog box to one of the following values:
      8 = Stores deleted items in your folder
      4 = Stores deleted items in the mailbox owner's folder

      NOTE: Make sure that the delegate user has at least Author level rights for the Deleted Items folder of the owner's mailbox.
  5. Quit the Registry Editor
  6. Restart Outlook

Delete It and Mean It

Turn off the questioning


Deleting an item in Outlook sends it to the Deleted Items folder. If you're sure that you want to eradicate the note, you can hold the Shift key when you delete an item.

You will receive a dialog asking if you are sure you want to permanently delete it.

To avoid the nagging you can turn off "Warn before permanently deleting items" under Tools>Options>Other>Advanced Options.



Be careful because you can delete items that might have benefited from one more moment's consideration.

(If you're using an Exchange server, you can probably get it back)

Delete Fast

No waiting


Unfortunately, Outlook does not allow you to use CTRL or Shift to select multiple folders at a time to delete them. Also the process slows down as the contents are deleted and then the folder. A quick way to get rid of them is to drag them to the Deleted Items folder.


The same is true of emails destined for the garbage bin.
