Deleted messages in Yahoo Mail go through different stages before they are permanently removed. Here’s a general outline of the process:
Trash Folder: When you delete an email, it is moved to the Trash folder. Messages in the Trash folder are not permanently deleted immediately and can be restored from the Trash folder if needed.
Retention Period: Emails in the Trash folder are typically kept for a specific period (usually 7 days), after which they are automatically and permanently deleted from the Trash folder.
Permanent Deletion: Once emails are deleted from the Trash folder (either manually by the user or automatically after the retention period), they are permanently removed from your account. At this stage, they cannot be recovered through normal means.
However, in some cases, Yahoo may be able to recover permanently deleted emails for a limited time.
If you need to recover permanently deleted emails, you should contact Yahoo support as soon as possible, although there is no guarantee that the emails can be retrieved.
For more details, you can visit Yahoo’s help pages or contact their customer support.
