It's possible, if it's been less than 24 hours since you deleted those emails to recover by filling out this form.

If using Classic:

If using All-New:

If more than 24 hours, and the Trash folder has been emptied, there would be no possible way to retrieve deleted emails.

Try to make a habit of NEVER emptying your Trash folder. The emails in that folder are deleted periodically by Yahoo!, so there's no reason for you to take that step.

Hi,

  • Download all messages received yesterday and today at your Yahoo! Mail or Yahoo! Mail Classic account or forward them to a different email address automatically or manually.
    • These messages will otherwise be lost forever.
  • Fill out the Yahoo! Mail Restore Help Form.
  • While you wait for Yahoo! to return your Yahoo! Mail account to the state at the desired time from a backup copy, make sure you continue to forward or download any newly arriving messages.

  • Thanks for using Fixya

    How do I restore my google account to all of its prior settings AND recover all of my lost messages from the point of where I accidentally selected the wrong option and deleted them all?

    have you checked your TRASH folder first?
    When you first delete your emails, they will disappear from your INBOX, and go to your TRASH box.

    If you have NOT opened your TRASH and deleted anything all the ones you accidentlly blew away should be in there.

    I want to retrieve deleted messages that i accidentally removed

    The messages that you delete go into your trash folder.

    1. Simply go into your trash folder in your email.
    2. Click on the boxes of the messages you want to undelete. This will place check marks in the boxes.
    3. Then click on Move and select Inbox. The messages will be moved to your inbox.

    How can i get mail deleted item from trash

    If you accidentally deleted an email and it now resides in your "trash" folder you can move it a folder of your choosing.First click the box next to the email, then go to the drop down menus above the email and select "move". Choose what folder you want it in and you are done.

    If you emptied your trash than you can not recover the email. You could try calling Yahoo and see if they still have a copy of it on their server backups, I doubt they would do it for free.

    Can't delete anything from Outlook Express

    try to highlight the email you want to delete and press shift+delete this will permanently delete the email.

    If this solution works that means your trash folder is already corrupted.

    You might want to use different email client like Eudora, MS Office Outlook, Thunderbird.

    Accidentally deleted yahoo

    You should be able to get them back from the deleted items folder on yahoo mail. It is usually listed by your inbox/sent items. If you deleted them from the deleted items folder, then there is no way to recover them.
