➡️ In most cases, permanently deleted email is gone and can't be recovered. As always, however, there are exceptions.

➡️ Recovering permanently deleted email
When emails are deleted from online mail services, they’re generally gone for good, especially if they’re not in a Trash or Archived folder and the grace period has passed. Emails might still exist in backups made by these services, but those are for their purposes, not yours. Legal scenarios could theoretically access these backups. Elsewhere, emails might still be with the original sender or receiver or saved on your own devices if downloaded.
