I accidentally deleted a very important email, how do i retrieve it

How do i retrieve an email i deleted by accident

Short summary:

  1. Log in to your email account.
  2. Look for the "Trash" folder.
  3. If you find the deleted email in the "Trash" folder, click on the email and then click "Move to Inbox" or "Move to Folder" to move the email back to your inbox or another folder.
  4. If you don't see the deleted email in the "Trash" folder, try searching for the email using the search bar at the top of your email account.
  5. If you still can't find the email, try checking the "Spam" folder in case the email was accidentally marked as spam.
  6. If none of the above steps work, try logging into your email account using the Gmail app on your phone or tablet, and look for the "Trash" folder there.
