Recover Lost Email
Email is such a crucial part of our lives that when it goes missing, it is very easy to get into a panic. If you have
recently lost emails in Outlook or had issues with an Outlook file becoming missing or corrupt, then you will know
just how much trouble this can cause.
Most users don't pay any attention to email backups until it's too late. If you lose a PST file in Outook, this can be
a devastating problem, because in Outlook all of the emails, calendars, contacts and notes are stored within one
single file (.pst file). In the case of something happening to this file, you risk losing everything. The situation is
similar for other email programs including Outlook Express and Thunderbird. These usually rely on single files to
store all of the email data.
Below we will show you how to restore lost data, but we can't stress enough, the importance of backing up your
email on a regular basis. Everyone should make copies of email data at least once every couple of weeks and this
should be backed up to an external drive or external storage of some type. Then you can rest easy knowing that
you aren't about to lose tons of valuable correspondence.
If you have lost an outlook PST file or Outlook Express .DBX file, there are specific tools available for each of
these. In the past it required paying an expensive technician hundreds of dollars. Now you can scan your
computer for free, to identify where the missing files have gone and if they can be restored.
When trying to retrieve deleted email, you should try a generic data recovery program first (eg: ParetoLogic Data
Recovery). This will identify missing files and attempt to restore them. You can recover any type of file including:
images, email, videos, documents and more. The software is very simple to use and it takes only about 3 minutes
to perform a full scan, but this will depend on the size of your hard drive.
If you are attempting to retrieve email but not succeeding, then you will need to try the specific application built for
either Outlook Express or Outlook. All of these downloads are available at the link below.
Data recovery software is extremely useful, but you should not rely on it. There are situations where it
cannot retrieve lost data. This is why a backup is always the best option. For all the downloads related to
data recovery, check out Windows data recovery.
