Good day,

Just yesterday, I decided to give Outlook 2007 a try. It downloaded all of my emails and everything went smoothly. However, just today, I went to check my emails online and noticed that all of the items that were in my inbox was moved to the Deleted folder. I want to keep my old messages so I'm trying to move them back into my Inbox from the deleted folder. I have over 8000 emails that I need to move so checked select all for each page isn't very practical.

I know now, that I have to configure Outlook to not delete my messages automatically but I still need to move my emails back into my Inbox as of now. Is there any realistic way to do so? Perhaps an Admin could log into my account and somehow move everything in the deleted folder to my Inbox for me?

Please help as I'm aware that the items will be deleted from the folder in a couple of days!

Thanks!

Check your Inbox now for the emails I have recovered.

To prevent this issue from happening again, please make sure that the "Leave a copy of the message on the server" option on your Microsoft Outlook Express email client settings is selected. You can use the information on the link below to guide you:

I’ve tried to retrieve your deleted mails but my restoration failed. It’s possible that they’ve been purged from our servers already even before I attempted to get them back.

FYI, e-mail clients such as Outlook has an “archiving” feature. This feature moves your messages from the Windows Live Hotmail e-mail server to your hard disk.  The Windows Live Hotmail server may be unable to recover the messages you have downloaded from it as they’re now stored in your mail client.  Once downloaded, the e-mail messages will no longer show up on the Windows Live Hotmail Web interface.  For more information on viewing your messages using your e-mail client, please contact their support team. You can visit this link to know where to reach them:

HI,

Same thing just happened to me. Please try to restore my "deleted emails" to my inbox: {removed email address}

Thanks for posting your e-mail address. I’ve checked your account and found a number of messages in your Deleted folder. Have a look at those messages as you may find valid e-mails there.

Note: Deleted messages will remain in the Deleted folder for 5 days. After which, the system will delete them permanently.

I’ve also confirmed that you’re using a 3rd party program to view your messages. Please note that when you access your messages using the POP3 setting, it moves your messages from the Windows Live Hotmail e-mail server to your hard disk. Once downloaded, the e-mail messages will no longer show up on the Windows Live Hotmail Web interface.
