When you delete a message from your Yahoo mail inbox, it will automatically get transferred to the “Trash” folder in case you need it again in the future. If you have emptied your “Trash” folder, you can still recover deleted email by sending a restoration request to Yahoo.

Restore Yahoo emails from Trash
  • Visit Yahoo Mail and login to your Yahoo Mail account using the sign-in credentials.

  • Now, select “Inbox” or any other existing folder into which you want to transfer the email.
  • This will immediately transfer email from trash to your chosen folder.

In older versions of Yahoo Mail, you can click the Restore to Inbox button to transfer deleted emails/messages out of Trash.


Scenario #2 – Recover Permanently Deleted Emails from Yahoo

If you can’t find the deleted messages in the Trash folder, you need to send a restore request to Yahoo to recover your missing emails. If your request refers to restoring lost or missing mails within the past 7 days, Yahoo can recover those emails in 8 hours. However, remember that only emails that have been deleted or have disappeared within the last seven days may eventually be recovered and that restorations may not always succeed.
