First things first, let us start with understanding the Trash folder in your iPhone’s Mail app. When you delete an email, it usually goes to the Trash folder, and it stays there for about 30 days or so. This time may vary, depending on the email provider you use. So, if you accidentally deleted an email, you must check your Trash folder for it.
So, here’s how you can recover your deleted emails from the Trash folder:
Step 1: Open the Mail app on your iPhone
Step 2: Go to the Mailboxes window and select the Trash folder
Step 3: Look for the email(s) you want to recover. If you can’t find them, try looking for them in the Archive folder, as at times, emails may have mistakenly been archived instead of deleted.
Step 4: Once you have located the email(s), select it/them by tapping on the circular button on the left-hand side of the email
Step 5: Click the ‘Move’ button located at the bottom-middle of the screen, then select the folder you want to move the email(s) to. In this case, select the Inbox folder.
Step 6: Once you have selected the Inbox folder, click ‘Move Message’ to complete the process.
If you were unable to find your deleted emails in the Trash folder or Archive folder, there is still hope. Your email provider may have a backup system that automatically saves your emails. In such a case, you can reach out to your email provider’s customer service and request them to retrieve your deleted emails. However, this process may take some time, and there is no guarantee that all your emails will be recovered.
Here are a few things to keep in mind when trying to recover deleted emails from your iPhone’s Trash folder:
1. Make sure that you recover your deleted emails as soon as possible as the email provider may not keep your emails backed up for too long.
2. If you can’t find your deleted email in the Trash folder, don’t panic. It may still exist in your email provider’s server; therefore, you can reach out to them for assistance.
3. Always check your email’s settings for any settings that may be causing emails to disappear.
4. Consider using a third-party email recovery app such as Tenorshare Ultdata to recover deleted emails from your iPhone.

Remember to act quickly and check your email provider’s backup system if needed.
