You can restore deleted folders in Outlook by following these steps:
- On the File menu, click Options and then choose Save Searches in Folder. This will save your searches across all of your devices so that you don’t have to enter them manually next time when creating a new group or contact folder for an email address;
- Select Restore Deleted Items To A New Location Under Storage Locations on top/left side bar window (if available). You may also do this via right-click context menus if restoring multiple items at once;
- In Restore Deleted Items window, select a location from the list of available folders by clicking on it, and then click OK. You will be able to restore items through this folder in future. If you want to save the restored items into a new folder, choose either Inbox or any other existing folder before clicking OK;
- If the desired item is not listed with its path in Recover deleted messages window, it might have been removed from Trash with a permanently delete option enabled during previous set of file/folder operations. This will require deeper search for that particular file or item. You can do so by entering keywords in the Search field at the top. All files containing those words in their title/subject line will be displayed with their paths in the result window;
- To restore all items, use All Folders option at the top. Tick all folders in which files are stored beforehand. Once done, click Recover Now button to proceed further;
- If you have previously entered password for that item in order to prevent unauthorized access, you will be prompted for your login credentials when recovering it into Outlook 2010 or 2013/2016 client. You can later change this password during decryption process if needed by hitting Edit Settings link at the bottom of account properties dialog after restoring is complete:
