(Imap, Outlook 2010)

A delete in an IMAP account issues a Purge command to the server to also
delete the e-mail. Using the webmail interface to your IMAP account, go
look in the deleted/trash folder. If the item isn't there, and if that
e-mail service doesn't do backup on behalf of their customers (not for
themself to restore their service but to restore their users' data on
request by the user), then it's gone.

While the purged item gets deleted locally but perhaps moves into the
deleted/trash folder up on the mail server, that server-side deleted
item may not appear in your local Deleted Items folder - unless you add
the server-side trash folder as one of those to which Outlook will
synchronize. In Outlook for an IMAP account, I believe you have to
subscribe to the server-side trash folder to see it locally. That means
modifying the IMAP account in Outlook to change its subscribed folders.
Since I don't use IMAP, you'll have to prod around in the IMAP account
definition in Outlook to find out where and how you subscribe to the
server-side folders. When you create an IMAP account, some server-side
folders are include by default but, I believe, the trash folder is not.

Don't you do your own backups? If you don't backup, you deem you data
as worthless or reproducible. If you do backup, some backup programs
will not read from Outlook's .pst file(s) while it(they) are inuse. In
that case, you have to schedule Outlook to exit at the time you schedule
a backup job. Alas, other than using "taskkill.exe /im outlook.exe /f"
which actually kills Outlook rather than exits it, I know of no option
available in Outlook to schedule its exit or a CLI (command-line
interface) to issue a command to Outlook to get it to gracefully exit.
You have to use 3rd party tools to get Outlook to exit before you run a
backup job. One way is to use AutoHotkey to write a script to navigate
Outlook's own controls to make it exit. That's clumsy because you have
to write the script, modify it if the GUI changes (which it seems to do
now between every major version from 2003, and on) and since this
emulate keypress or mouse clicks then you have to add to the script a
check to make sure the app's window isn't minimized (to a taskbar button
or tray icon). Another trick is to use Nirsoft's nircmd.exe to use its
'closeprocess' directive, as in "nircmd.exe closeprocess outlook.exe".
That works as long as Outlook doesn't pause its shutdown with a prompt,
like asking you to save a draft of a new e-mail you are composing. The
problem here is that Outlook has had a long-known defect of not
completely unloading when told to and instead leaves behind a code stub
in memory (i.e., you'll still see an outlook.exe process after you close
that process). This is especially true if any installed and enabled
add-ons to Outlook keep it up after exiting Outlook, like the Personal
Folders Backup (PFB) add-on. This keeps Outlook running so it can copy
the message store to a backup file and after the backup completes then
exits Outlook; however, PFB prompts the user to ask if they want to save
a backup and this hangs the exit of Outlook. Of course, if you're
exiting Outlook so its files are not inuse to back them up using your
backup program then you don't need the PFB add-on to Outlook. Alas,
Outlook has still left a remnant stub in memory when exited not
traceable to any add-on, so after trying to gracefully exit Outlook
using "nircmd.exe closeprocess outlook.exe", you'll probably have to
follow with "taskkill.exe /im outlook.exe /f". You would add the .bat
file with these commands as the pre-command executed by your backup
program to ensure Outlook wasn't running and it's files were not inuse
at the time of a scheduled backup job, then use the post-command option
in the backup program to run another .bat file to load Outlook (or just
run the outlook.exe program directly if you had no other post-commands
to run after the backup completed).

Thanks Vanguard
Unfortunately my emails are gone although i was able to recover some
'keep' items which I am happy with

 

[Jamesh Koler]

Any single case of corruption in Outlook PST file may make the entire
user mailbox items inaccessible. To avoid such issue and to get back
the access to the emails, PST recovery is needed which efficiently
recovers damaged PST file. There are several PST recovery tools
available today which can be easily opted for retrieving data from
corrupted PST file and access the Outlook emails. You can use Kernel
for Outlook pst repair tool for the same.

Is there any backup configured in the EMail Server using any of the backup software like StoreGrid?

If so, you can recover them from the backup server.

Check with the EMail server administrator.
