Ok guys, when I delete my hotmails they go into the trash can, so when I went to retrieve an e-mail which I deleted last week it said that 'Trash Can is emptied every 1 day(s). Messages in your trash do not count towards your account limit.'

So guys what I want to know is where do they go & is there any way to get them back??

Thanks in advance :D

  • When you delete an email as it says it moves it to your Trash Can folder.

    Every day hotmail automatically takes the data from this folder and deletes it forever. There is no way to retrieve this data.

    HTH :)

    If you want one that does not delete trash every day try Lycos,
    http://www.lycos.co.uk/ it goes into trash but you have to manually empty contents. The trash does count towards your limit 300Mb
