Most everybody has accidentally deleted important emails at some point or another. Luckily, if the emails are simply deleted to your trash folder, they are not permanently gone yet. According to Willamette University, the "trash" folder is simply the folder used by email clients to temporarily store email that has already been deleted by its recipient. Because they are temporarily stored, deleted emails can be retrieved by simply moving them from your email trash folder back to your inbox.
