How to recover deleted e-mails from Sent Items folder in Outlook

Have you permanently deleted e-mails from Sent Items folder in Microsoft Outlook? Do not know what to do? This situation can erupt when you use shift+ delete key combination to get rid off an unwanted e-mail or appointment, and later feel the need to retrieve some important information from it. Luckily, you are in a condition to recover the hard-deleted e-mail from Sent Items folder if you are connected to an Exchange Server. Another major factor is if your administrator has enabled the retention period feature in Exchange Server which enables it to retain deleted items for a particular period of time. If you are sure about the settings, then you just have to modify the Windows registry to perform deleted email recovery.

Outlook gives you an opportunity to retrieve items which you have permanently deleted, including those deleted from the Deleted Items folder. But, you can recover deleted items until a specific time. This specific time is the period which your Exchange Server administrator fixes as the retention period. According to his set time, you have bright chances of recovering deleted items. But, once the time period elapses, you cannot recover the deleted items.

How is it possible?

There is a Recover Deleted Items option in the Tools menu of your Microsoft Outlook. This enables you to recover items deleted from specifically and only 'Deleted Items' folder. But, if you modify the registry, you can make this option available for any other Outlook folder including Sent Items. This signifies that you can view and retrieve deleted items from Sent Items folder, including those which were permanently deleted.

How to make changes to registry?

Making changes to Windows registry should be done under supervision if you do not have adequate technical knowledge. If you fail to make changes to Windows registry correctly, you might be required to reinstall your Operating System. Therefore, be very careful with the following steps:

A) Close Outlook
B) Go to Start>Run>type regedit, click OK
C) In registry editor, browse to the following key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Exchange\Client\Options
D) Go to Edit menu, click Add value and add the following value:
Value name: DumpsterAlwaysOn
Data type: DWORD
Value data: 1
E) Now, exit registry editor

After changing the Windows registry, you can easily perform deleted mail recovery from Sent Items folder by using Recover Deleted Items option in the Tools menu of Outlook.

If you want to recover items which were deleted from Sent Items folder prior making changes to Windows registry, then it is advisable you go for a third-party deleted e-mail recovery application.

One reliable tool which enables you to recover deleted e-mails and other items from both Outlook and Outlook Express is Stellar Phoenix Deleted Email Recovery. This deleted mail recovery application is compatible with Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2003, 2000 and NT (SP6).
