Before giving up, try a few quick checks that often work. If you deleted in MSN/Hotmail (now Outlook.com), open Deleted Items. At the top, use the link to recover items deleted from that folder. Outlook.com keeps a temporary recovery area for a limited time; if nothing appears there, those messages are permanently deleted on the server and cannot be restored by Microsoft. See: .

If you used an email program on your PC (Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Live Mail), you might still have a local copy:

  • Outlook: search All Mail Items, then open any old PST archives (File > Open & Export > Open Outlook Data File). Guide: .
  • If the account was POP and did not leave a copy on the server, your local data file (PST/DBX) may be the only copy. Make a backup of that file before letting the app sync again, so you do not mirror server deletions.

A few gotchas:

  • Data recovery tools cannot pull messages back from webmail servers; they only help with local files, and only if the data has not been overwritten.
  • Also check Junk, Archive, and any rules/Sweep that might have moved the mail.

and are right that there is no magic undo after a server purge, but these steps are worth a quick try and can still save you if a local copy exists.

As far as I know, there's no way of retrieving them. Tough luck.

And stop using fancy fonts -- what's wrong with the default? It's not as if it makes us pay any more attention to your question.
