I accidentally deleted a message in Outlook. Can I restore it?

Usually you can get messages back. You can even do this yourself.

Is the email still in Deleted Items or Spam Folder?

The first place to look is Deleted Items or in the Junk Email folder. Search for the item you want, right-click it, and then select move > other folder. If the message is not still there, continue to the next step.
