How to restore deleted emails in Gmail, Outlook: A step-by-step guide

Emails play an important part in our day-to-day communication. They are used for communicating everything from class notes and books to work files and other documents to even advertising emails. Owing to this usage, users’ inboxes are always brimming with emails. This never-ending stream of emails sometimes makes it difficult for users to keep a track of more important emails, which often get deleted along with spam emails or junk emails.

Now, deleted does not mean permanent removal. In Gmail, when you delete an email it isn’t actually erased, instead, it is moved to the ‘Trash’ folder. Similarly, when you delete an email in Outlook, it is placed in the ‘Deleted Items’ folder. Your email isn’t truly gone forever unless you delete it from one of these folders.
