But before we get into the tool, let us consider all the manual options.
As you know when Outlook data gets permanently deleted and you have an Exchange Server connection, there is still a 50% chance you can recover permanently deleted items.
What happens is – Exchange Server retains permanently deleted Outlook data up to a defined retention period. At the least, your items will retain up to 14 days. These items get stored in the “Recoverable Items Folder” of the Exchange Server. You can access the permanently deleted items through the “Recover Deleted Items From Server” option given in your Outlook account.
How to Recover Items From the Exchange Server
So if you happen to be an Exchange user, this section is for you. Just follow these steps to recover Outlook data that has been permanently deleted. (Just remember, if you have crossed the retention period limit then, your items are automatically removed from “Recoverable Items Folder”)
1. Click on the ‘Deleted items’ option given in the folder list on the side.
