Overview of Deleted AOL Email Recovery
Many users have accidentally deleted important AOL emails, leading to anxiety and depression. However, there are solutions available to recover deleted or permanently deleted AOL emails, allowing users to rescue their important information.
How to Recover Deleted AOL Emails from Trash Folder
If you accidentally deleted emails in AOL Mail, they may be recoverable from the Trash folder, which keeps deleted emails for up to seven days before they are permanently deleted.
1. To access AOL Mail, go to AOL.com, click on the "envelope" icon in the top left corner, and then sign in to your AOL account.
2. To view deleted emails, click on the "Trash" icon in the left panel, which will open the Trash folder and display all emails deleted in the last seven days.
3. To recover AOL emails, select the desired emails, click on the "Action" button above, and from the pull-down menu, choose "Inbox" under the "Move To" group of commands.
To recover deleted emails in AOL Mail, go to the Trash folder, select the email you want to recover, and click 'Restore' or 'Move to Inbox'. This will move the email back to your Inbox, where you can access it again.
How to Recover Deleted AOL Emails Older Than 7 Days
If you've deleted emails in AOL over seven days and later realize their importance, you can try to retrieve them, but the chances of success vary. Permanently deleted emails can be recovered if they're stored in a location where AOL still has access to them, allowing you to recover them, but this is not always the case. We'll explain two scenarios for recovering permanently deleted emails from AOL.
Recover Permanently Deleted Emails from AOL Server
If you use AOL Mail, your emails are stored on the AOL server, not on your computer. This means that if you delete an email online, you can contact the AOL server administrator to help recover the email. This is the only way to recover online deleted emails.
Recovering mail from a mailbox server is a paid service that can be expensive, and its success rate may be low for individual users. Therefore, this method is not very practical. We highly suggest trying the alternative method instead.
Recover Permanently Deleted Emails from AOL with Email Recovery Software
If you delete an email online, it's difficult to recover it. However, if you have AOL Mail connected to Outlook on your computer, the deleted email data is stored locally, and you can use a professional email data recovery program to restore the lost emails from AOL.
Deep Data Recovery is a software that allows you to recover permanently deleted emails from local PST or OST files, enabling you to restore deleted emails from AOL older than seven days.
Step 1. Launch Deep Data Recovery on your PC. Select the file types you want to recover and click "Next" to begin the recovery process.
Step 2. To recover lost email files, select the drive or partition where the files were stored, and then click the "Scan" button.
Step 3. The software will start scanning immediately, and you should wait for the process to finish. To quickly locate the email files, click "Others" in the left panel and look for PST files or Outlook files in the file type list.
Step 4. To recover corrupted email files, select the desired files, click "Recover", and save them to a different location to avoid overwriting the original files.
Import PST/OST files into Outlook
After the email recovery is complete, you can import the recovered AOL emails into Outlook to use them again. To do this, you can follow either of the methods below.
1. To import emails from another email client into Outlook, start Outlook, go to "File" and select "Open & Export", then choose "Import/Export" and select "Import from another program or file", and finally choose "Open Outlook Data File".
2. To move emails, contacts, and other folders from a .pst file into your existing Outlook folders, navigate to the navigation pane and drag and drop the desired items from the .pst file into your Outlook folders.
