How we fix it

How we recover deleted email

  1. Act quickly

    Recovery windows are limited, so we check your retention settings first.

  2. Check recoverable items

    Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace keep deleted items for a period after the deleted items folder is emptied.

  3. Check retention and archives

    Retention rules or archives may still hold the email.

  4. Check backups

    If you have a separate email backup, we restore from it.

  5. Restore to the mailbox

    Recovered email goes back where the person can find it.

  6. Close the gaps

    We recommend retention or backup if your setup leaves you exposed.

Questions

Deleted email recovery answered

Can you always recover deleted email?+

No. Recovery depends on how long ago it was deleted and how your email system is set up. We check every available option and tell you plainly what can be restored.

How long do we have?+

Time limits vary by system and settings, so contact us as soon as you notice something is missing.

Do we need a separate backup?+

A separate backup gives you recovery options well beyond the built-in limits. See Microsoft 365 & Google Workspace backup.

Can you recover email from a departed staff member?+

Often, if their mailbox or account hasn't been permanently removed. We'll check what's still available.
