Recovering ‘permanently’ deleted email in Microsoft Outlook 2003
Today morning i mistakenly deleted some of my very important mails from Microsoft Outlook 2003 client. At my workplace, i use Microsot Outlook 2003 client interacting with Exchange Server. I was able to recover my mails from Outlook, thanks to the policy settings on Microsoft Exchange Server and this small trick which i write about in my post below.
Follow the steps below to recover your ‘permanently’ deleted email in Microsoft Outlook
1.) From your Microsoft Outlook Client, Navigate to the Deleted Items Folder.
2.) Click on Tools –> Recover Deleted Items.

3.) All the items that you have deleted within the time frame set in the policy should be available for you to select. Just select the one’s you want back and hit the recover button.
Bingo!!! You are done.
However, there is a catch to this, you can’t recover the mails you hard deleted directly from other folders. I mean you pressed SHIFT+DEL and deleted a few mails from your Inbox. Unfortunately, this trick wont be able to cater to that. However, there is a way out for that too and i shall be writing about it in my next post soon.
