Outlook provides a way to recover items after you have permanently deleted them, including after emptying the Deleted Items folder. You can recover items on before retension time of MS-Exchange server.
By default, to use the Recover Deleted Items command on the Tools menu, you must be viewing the Deleted Items folder. By modifying the registry, this command is available regardless of which Outlook folder that you are viewing. You can view and recover deleted items, including those items that were permanently deleted by using SHIFT+DELETE, for the folder that you are viewing.
Caution If you use the registry editor incorrectly, you might cause serious problems that might require you to reinstall your operating system. Use the registry editor at your own risk.
1. Exit Outlook.
2. Open the Windows registry editor.
3. Browse to My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\Client\Options.
4. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
5. Type the name DumpsterAlwaysOn.
Note Do not type any spaces in the name.
6. Set the DWORD value to 1.
7. Restart Outlook.
The Tools menu now has the Recover Deleted Items command for every Outlook folder. Now you can recover permanently deleted items from any folder. Steps to recover:
1. Highlight the respect folder and go to tools --->Options ----> Select Recover deleted items
2. Select the items to recover and click OK.
3. You are done and your items are back.

Have A Nice Day!

  1. pst recovery tool one of the best effective ways for working out given trouble. The utility uses copies of corrupted data and doesn't modify source of info.
