Ontrack offers professional email recovery services for consumers and businesses alike. From individual files to entire databases, we recover it all.

Whether it’s inside a database, a Microsoft Exchange Information Store, or individual messages and files; our expert engineers can recover your email data.

Where is your email stored?

On your device

Some software, like Microsoft Outlook, stores email on hardware. We can successfully recover email from hardware, even if it has stopped functioning.

In the cloud

Web based email applications (e.g. Gmail, Outlook.com, Yahoo, etc.), store emails in the cloud. If you have taken the additional step to back up your email to hardware, we can help you recover it.


Unsure if you have locally stored emails?

This table shows the most common email application types and where the email content is stored.

If your email has not been backed up to a hardware device, and/or you do not know your login credentials, please contact your email provider for assistance.
