How can I recover my deleted emails from trash?
1. Use SysTools Backup
Gmail does not backup data by itself, which means that all the deleted emails or messages will be wiped out from the Bin folder automatically, after 30 days from the deletion date.
There is no other way to restore deleted emails from the Gmail account, except a local backup file.
This could be done by a dedicated tool, such as SysTools that will backup all your emails, including attachments, all in PDF format.
SysTools will save the emails from your account into different outputs: Outlook PST, MSG, MBOX, and EML. This will facilitate the migration to other email accounts, such as Thunderbird or others.
Moreover, you will have a back for all your Gmail folders: Inbox, Important, Sent Mail, Starred, Bin, and Drafts, including all your created folders.
The advanced technology of SysTools allows it to back up your Gmail contacts and calendars on your local system. This is a great feature, as they are equally important.

If the email client you are using is Yahoo, then we have great news for you. As you probably know already, Yahoo will automatically delete your Trash emails after seven days and spam emails after 30 days.
If the deleted message from the Trash folder is within a seven days grace period, then you can submit a request to Yahoo to help you restore the lost emails.
You can send the restore request via the Yahoo Help Central option. It will be necessary that you mention an approximate time frame for when you deleted the messages.
Make sure to fill in all the details requested, including the Yahoo ID and your email address along with a description of the issue you are having.
Once the request is solved, you will see the deleted email back in the folder it was initially. If not, make sure to also check in your Trash folder and select to see the messages by date.
If you do not receive a response from a Yahoo! technical support agent, make sure to check your spam or junk folder as well.
There is also the option to recover your Outlook emails using OST to PST Converter. The guide will certainly offer a lot of useful information.
