How to Recover Deleted Emails in Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace

Check Deleted Items or Trash first, then use Outlook’s “Recover deleted items,” which keeps mail for a limited time after it’s emptied. Admins can sometimes restore more, and a backup can restore anything older.

Try this first

  1. Look in Deleted Items or Trash
  2. In Outlook, use “Recover items recently removed from this folder”
  3. Search all folders, including Archive
  4. Check for inbox rules that delete mail
  5. Ask your admin about retention or backups

When it’s more than a quick fix

If the mail is older than the recovery window or a whole mailbox was removed, you need an admin restore or a backup.

Questions

How long does Microsoft 365 keep deleted emails?

By default, items emptied from Deleted Items stay recoverable for a limited time, typically about 14 days, longer if retention is set.

Doesn’t Microsoft or Google back up my email?

They keep it available, but they don’t keep long-term backups of what you delete. A separate backup covers that.
