Keeping your Yahoo inbox neat and orderly is not an easy task. In the process of doing so, I even lost some important emails that I deleted thinking they were not important. Has this ever happened to you?
We all have the habit of deleting unhelpful emails; however, it can be scary when you mistakenly delete an email that is important to you. But there’s nothing to worry about if you’re a Yahoo user. Yahoo offers an easy way to recover permanently deleted emails. In this article, I will walk through all the possible ways Yahoo provides to recover deleted emails, temporarily or permanently.
Solutions to recover or recover permanently deleted Yahoo emails
Solution 1: Recover Deleted Yahoo Emails from Trash
The ‘Trash’ folder can be your savior, if you are in the same situation as me. All deleted Yahoo emails will first go to the ‘Deleted Items’ folder, but they won’t stay there forever.
“Note- Emails located in Yahoo’s trash folder are automatically and permanently deleted after 7 days; so you need to be really fast in recovering them.“
Here are the steps you need to take to recover deleted Yahoo emails that are still in the trash folder:
- Sign in to your Yahoo account with your username and password.
- Once logged in, go to the ‘Mail’ section
- Then in the left menu you will see some options click on ‘Deleted Items’.
- On the right, you’ll see all the emails you’ve deleted within the last 7 days. Check the box for the one you want to restore or restore to your inbox. At the top menu you will see ‘Restore Inbox’ option, click on that.
- This will restore all your selected deleted emails to your Yahoo account inbox.
Solution 2: Check the storage directory
It is also possible that instead of permanently deleting the email, you mistakenly moved the email to the ‘Archive’ folder. So, before coming to a final conclusion, you must go through your Yahoo account’s storage folder to recover emails that may have been deleted:
- For this, you need to sign in to your Yahoo account.
- Click on the ‘Mail’ icon placed in the top right corner.
- Then in the left menu you will see some options, click ‘Archive’.
- Find the deleted emails in the Archive folder, if you find the email you are looking for just check the box next to it and click ‘Recover to Inbox’.
Solution 3: Check Spam Folder
The next thing you need to do is check your spam folder because you may have accidentally moved your email to the spam folder; The ‘Spam’ button is located next to the ‘Delete’ button in your Yahoo account, so to make sure the email doesn’t end up in the spam folder, follow these steps:
- Once you’re signed in to your Yahoo account, click the ‘Mail’ icon in the top right corner of the screen.
- Then in the left menu you will see some options, click ‘Spam’.
- Find deleted emails in Spam folder, if you see the email you are looking for just check the box next to it and click ‘Restore to Inbox’.
Note- Emails in the Spam folder are automatically deleted after 30 days; so make sure you are fast enough to recover lost emails.
Solution 4: Send a request to Yahoo to recover deleted email
If none of the above methods worked for you, there is one last solution you can try. You can submit a recovery request to Yahoo for emails that you mistakenly deleted or accidentally lost in the past few days. This may or may not work depending on when you deleted your email.
- Sign in to your Yahoo account
- Then visit this link in new tab- https://help.yahoo.com/kb/recover-lost-deleted-emails-sln2552.html; click the ‘Submit a recovery request’ button.
- On the next page, you will first have to describe your problem and then mention the number of hours you last saw the missing messages; then enter your Yahoo ID and then enter an ID that Yahoo can use to contact you. Once you’ve entered all the information, click ‘Create Request’.
- You will then receive an email from Yahoo saying your request has been submitted and it may take up to 8 hours to retrieve the deleted messages. So make sure to wait for 8 hours and if your email is still not recovered you can check all the folders in your Yahoo Mail account. Also, make sure to check your trash folder as the email may already be up there.
So that’s how you can recover permanently deleted emails from Yahoo in a simple way.
