Default Find deleted emails

Using Outlook 2010. Occassionally I accidently delete an email, which can the be very hard to find in my large amount of deleted emails as there appears to be no way to sort emails by date of deletion. (I may not know the sender or subject or content of the email to search for it as I may have clicked on it by mistake without seeing this part). Is there a way to sort by date of deletion to find an email that was accidently deleted for which you have no other info?
thanks

Hi,


Yes , you can do it ! First try to change your view settings in the deleted items view by adding the “Modified” field to your deleted items view (which will be the deleted date). This is a one-time setup unless you decide to change the view settings again. Follow these steps for outlook 2010
  1. From the Deleted Items view, right click in the heading area at the top below the search field (arrange by) and click View Settings.
  2. The Advanced View Settings window appears. Click Columns and select Date/Time from “Select available fields from.”
  3. Select Modified from the Available fields and click Add. It adds the Modified field to the bottom, so you may want to move it up below Subject or wherever you prefer. Click OK once.
  4. Next you need to change the sort order. Click Sort from the Advanced View Settings window.
  5. Change to Date/Time fields from the Select Available Fields from (at the bottom of the Sort screen).
  6. Then from the Sort items by field, select Modified and Descending (to sort from most recently deleted).
  7. You may want to be sure grouping is on none (unless you prefer to keep it on)
  8. Click OK twice.
  9. Your deleted items should be in the date modified (deleted) order now.
  10. If you find you need to move the modified field elsewhere on the screen to see it, just go to the View Settings > Columns and move fields around.
Hope it will work for you.

Thanks so much. Your instructions were very clear and it works great. Really appreciate it! Wish I could by you a beer (or non-alcoholic beverage if you prefer)!
