How to recover emails after shift deleting them in Outlook
If you use Outlook and work with an Microsoft Exchange or any other LDAP server, this information might be useful to you. You might have recovered emails from your deleted items folder and later realized that you needed them. Microsoft Exchange gives users the ability to recover their deleted emails if the retention is set right on the server. Retention means, the server can still maintain messages that you have deleted in its database even after you delete them from your deleted items folder.
However, recovery of deleted items through retention is possible for items deleted from deleted items folder only. If you shift + delete a message, it does not go to your deleted items folder, it gets permanently deleted. This article shows you how to recover your 'permanently deleted' email messages, that you deleted using shift delete.
Follow these steps to recover emails that you deleted by pressing shift + delete :
