Same Email Subject Results in Accidental Deletion of Outlook Email

The subject line of an e-mail message should impart the correct substance of message. But many users insist or reuse the same subject line as they have used earlier, without realizing that the subject line needs to be changed. The readers may rely on the e-mail header and delete it by considering it an inappropriate e-mail. This type of readers also include Microsoft Outlook readers. The ineffective e-mail practices used by the sender can have adverse consequence of accidental e-mail deletion at receiver's end if it encounters two or more e-mails with the same subject line. These are some typical instances when a Deleted Email Recovery utility can help.

Essentially, Outlook e-mail is permanently deleted only after you remove it from 'Deleted Items' folder or empty this folder. Following is an instance of such permanent e-mail deletion. Consider you send an e-mail with subject 'A' to one of your clients. The client replies to this e-mail two or more times without changing the subject line. As a result, all the e-mails you receive in reply appear with same subject line 'A', but with the word 'RE:' preceding the subject.

You notice that one or more of these replies are irrelevant and thus delete all the messages with the same subject without checking the e-mail body. You also empty the 'Deleted Items' folder. But at some later point of time, you realize that you have deleted an important e-mail message accidentally with the same subject line. Such situations can sometimes turn out as serious e-mail loss.
