My outlook somehow deleted all my emails

I can only see my old emails if I search for them as " olk14_message" file type. When I find them after preforming this search I do not know how to either return them to their original format or even simply open them.
Please help all my most important emails are affected by this issue and I really need to get them back ASAP.
Sincerely,
Travis

Hi,
What version of Outlook do you use?
Are you searching the emails in Windows Search? Or in Outlook Instant Search?
Are you emails still on Web(OWA)?
If you are using Office for Mac, we should post the question to Office for Mac forum:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum?tab=Threads
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.
If I misunderstand anything, please feel free to let me know.

Blackberry Z10 Deleted all my emails

Guys,
Got a new Z10 a week ago, and for some unknown reason, it deleted all my emails from the past week. I went online to Gmail and it had deleted all my emails from the inbox - I had to find these in the 'all mail' function and put them back in the inbox. Any ideas on how to stop this happening?

Hey michaelPerthWA,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Do you have this email account setup in Outlook or another email program on the computer? If you start to receive emails on the webmail and your BlackBerry Z10, when does it usually delete the emails?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

HT204053 How do I delete all my email addresses on my IPad mini and start to use iCloud as my only email address?

How do delete all my email addresses such as hotmail,outlook and use iCloud address as new email and install on my Pad?

First, have you considered the case where new emails are sent to you at the addresses whose accounts you want to remove from the mail client? By removing the accounts, you will accumulate emails but will never see them - is that okay?
Settings>Mail,Contacts<Calendars, in the Accounts section, tap an account, like hotmail, and on the new screen, tap Delete Account.
In the Accounts section, tap Add Account... to add the icloud email account.

My 16gb iPhone 4S keep tell me that my storage is almost full and I don't have enough space for any upgrades. I don't have any music or videos on my phone. I deleted all old emails, texts, contacts and apps but still nothing. When I check my settings, I noticed that my Instagram is at 732mb and it keeps rising. Now it's at 814mb. Please help!!!!!

What is the precise wording of the message that is occurring?
Are you attempting to update via iTunes on a computer or over the air on the device?
How much free space is actually on the device?
If updating via iTunes on the computer, how much free space on the computer?

Is there a way to delete all my email messages in my inbox at once?

Is there a way to delete all my email messages in my inbox in one move, rather than selecting one at a time, then deleting?

You CAN delete all your email. Here's how: >> Open Inbox >> Edit >> Check/select the top message; it will highlight the move button. >> Press and hold the move button and uncheck the message that you had checked earlier. >> Lift all your fingers off from the ipad screen and leave it alone. Wait until all your messages pile up on the right hand portion of the screen (in ipad); iphone will give you the actual number of emails it has selected for the action. Now they are just waiting for your command to be moved ALL at once. >> Choose trash to delete all of them or any other folder where u want to move them, like one piece. Remember this will replicate your action on the server so you will ACTUALLY move them or delete them on the server and not just the ipad. Once you have moved all messages to the trash you can either leave them there for the scheduled cleaning or empty it right away by doing this: go to trash folder and touch Edit. The Delete All button shows up at the bottom of the screen. Hit it! You’re done! If you do not see the effects of your actions on the server make sure you have enabled your email accounts for such actions.

Mail Mac has deleted all my emails from the server..how to get them back?

Mistakenly, I've changed the options in Mail app in Mac, which says "Remove copy from server after retrieving a massage" Immediately, and it deleted all my emails from the server. Is there anyway to return all my 3000 emails back to the server? cuz I want to access them from anywhere :S it's a hotmail account.

You can create a new IMAP account in Apple Mail, and move all the messages to the IMAP folders. They are synced with the server.
I don't know if hotmail supports imap though, I would prefer Gmail.

Compacting deleted all my emails

compacting deleted all my emails that i was leaving in my inbox

No it didn't.
Compact will have created a new index and demonstrated to you that what you thought you had really no longer existed. But it did not delete or loose anything.
Look in your anti virus programs logs for quarantine and deletion of a file called inbox. It will have occurred about the time your mail cuts off. sso if you have say the last months mail the scan that removed your mail will have occurred about a month ago. For some reason users of Norton products appear to be particularly affected.

I have accidentally deleted all my email inbox! Can it be retrieved?

I have accidentally deleted all my email inbox! Can it be retrieved?

Unless you stop using your computer immediately and purchase file recovery software, the answer is 'No'. It's a deliberate process to delete all your email, so that makes me wonder why you were messing around with it, or not paying attention to what you were doing.
This is exactly type of situation where you need to have a bootable backup of your entire hard drive.

Finding specific files in TimeMachine. I've somehow deleted all iCal content.

I've somehow deleted all Calendar content (historical and future). I wish to restore from TimeMachine. How do I find and restore the last iCal file?

If you synchronize any of your calendars with a server such as iCloud, disable that synchronization. Quit Calendar.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Calendars
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder selected. Enter Time Machine and restore that folder from the snapshot you want.
Relaunch Calendar and test. Your calendars should be as they were when the snapshot was taken. If you don't sync with a server, stop here.
If you do sync some of the calendars with a server, select each one in turn and then select
          File ▹ Export ▹ Export…
from the menu bar. You'll get ICS files with the filename extension ".ics".
Re-enable sync. Usually, all the calendars you just restored will be deleted. That's not a problem.
Create a new calendar on the server for each one you exported and want to sync:
          File ▹ New Calendar
Then import the calendar from the corresponding ICS file by double-clicking it. Follow the prompts to import the new events to the calendar you just created.
For calendars that you don't want to sync, just import them again. They'll appear in the calendar list under On My Mac.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Lion has deleted all my emails and Time Machine back ups !

Help !
I had the very bad idea of installing Lion :
- first consequence : it deleted all my emails
at this point I was a bit disappointed but of course I had a back up of my emails via all the saveguards done automatically on my Time Capsule via Time Machine, so I decided to go there to get back my emails...
but ahhhhhh
- second Lion effect : it had deleted all my saveguards in my Time Capsule !!!!
I called Apple technical support :
they are very sorry but indeed Lion deleted my emails, and sorry again it has screwed my Time Machine, technically they have no solution !
Does anyone hat the same issues ? or had better technical support ?

How do I delete all my emails at once without having to do it one by one?

How do I delete all my emails at once without having to do it one by one on my iPhone 4s?

Well, what I see happing is this: Tapping edit and checking the first message brings up the “Delete” option. Holding it until the red message “Delete Message” appears, then letting go of the red button and tapping the checked button makes the “Delete Message” message go away. The checked message is still checked with an option to delete just that message. Tap the checked message again just cancels the whole process and I’m back to square one.
However, if I check a message that is part of a thread of messages and tap Delete, I have the option of deleting all messages in the thread.
Perhaps the fact that I’m using the 3rd generation of the iPad is the problem, but your suggestion isn’t working.

I deleted all my emails from inbox and trash, but the mail "file" has 2GB. How can I permantely delete this information from my iphone4?

How can I permantely delete email information from my iphone4?
I deleted all my emails from inbox and trash, but the Mail "file" still has 2GB...

Does anyone have an answer to this problem? It's been 4 or 5 days now and iCloud still says I have 0kb of 5GB available, and 6.1GB of mail on iCloud. I guess that's better than yesterday when it said I had 8.3GB of mail. Does anyone know if it simply takes Apple a week to actually empty a mailbox?
thanks in advance, hopefully tomorrow it says I have only 4GB of non-existent mail and I can start using it again...

I've deleted all my emails and texts to make room for the 7.1 upgrade but my usage still says I'm using 641MB for mail and 364 MB for messages. Anyone know how to free up this memory? Thank you.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
