Is there a way of retrieving old deleted yahoo email?

Answer by  georgiagirl (261)

your only hope would be to look through your trash mail and hopefully it will still be there. sometimes your deleted mail will stay in there for about 30 days.

Deleted email stays in the trash for awhile, so you might check there first. After a time, deleted mail in the trash goes away and is not retrievable.

If the email that you deleted happens to be in the trash folder, it can be recovered. For best results, you are best served by checking in the trash folder, which is automatically purged after twenty four hours. Otherwise you're out of luck, since Yahoo doesn't store your email forever.

When you delete a email, it goes to the "Trash Folder". You can Check the "Trash Folder", it should be on the right side of the screen, and see if they are there. If it is not there, then Yahoo has deleted it permanently from their servers.

Only recently deleted email can be found in your Trash folder. It is periodically emptied though, so if you do not see it there, it cannot be retrieved.

Unfortunately, anything over twenty four hours old cannot be retreived from a yahoo email account once it has been permenantly deleted. However, if you deleted it from your inbox or sent files, it will appear in your trash folder.
