Click Mail in the navigation bar at the top right of the screen

select mail

Click on Deleted Items in your folders list

Right click on the item you wish to recover, select Move from the drop down list and select Inbox to move the item to your mailbox

right click and select move then inbox

Recovering to a folder other than inbox

Select More from the drop down list, select the folder you would like to move the item to and click Move

click the desired location than select move

Check the Copy this item to the selected folder box for a copy of the item to remain within the Deleted Items folder

Instead of recovering an email you may need to recover a contact, calendar item or task:

  • To recover a contact, right click on it and select Move to Contacts
  • To recover a calendar item, right click on it and select Move to Calendar
  • To recover a task, right click it and select Move to Tasks
