Help please, getting back a deleted junk email

Winjackie

Hi all

Really hope someone can help me..... I've literally just deleted a load of items from my junk email folder and as they were deleting, I happened to notice one which I think may have been important :eek::eek::eek: Is there any way of getting back a deleted junk email (hotmail account). I know these junk ones don't show up in your "deleted" folder.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks.

I would contact hotmail ASAP and ask them to help, as they will have it backed up somewhere but it could be time sensitive.

Obvious Q, but have you check your trash for it?

Worst case scenario, could you ask the original sender to check their sent mail for it?

Have you double checked because when I delete junk emails in Hotmail they do go into my deleted items? This annoys me no end when I do want to find a real email in my deleted items and it is full of junk!

This could be down to my settings though, not sure.

Have you tried using http://www.piriform.com/recuva/download/slim to get the files back?
I know it works with windows mail

The OP is using Webmail (Hotmail) not downloading them on to their PC.
They were referring to folders within Hotmail on hotmail's server not local folders on the PC
So there are no local copies to be recovered.

Contacting Hotmail ASAP and seeing if they can retrieve them back from their servers is the only way.
