Microsoft Outlook is a widely used e-mail client and is used to receive/send important business e-mails. In a business environment, where every e-mail is important, accidental e-mail deletion can lead to major problems. An e-mail, deleted from Outlook Inbox or any other folder, goes to 'Deleted Items' folder. So there are chances that you might be able to restore deleted e-mails to the original folder. However, if this folder has been emptied or the deleted e-mails have just bypassed the folder, there is no solution other than last performed backup or Deleted Email Recovery utility to get your valuable emails back.

Suppose you are a Microsoft Outlook user, who receives critical client queries and replies to them. All of a sudden, you realize that as you open a newly received e-mail and read it, the e-mail gets automatically deleted from Outlook Inbox. There is no apparent reason for this behavior and, you cannot find this deleted e-mail in 'Deleted Items' folder.

Explanation:

1)In many cases, the problem is falsely reported. In these cases, the user has ...
... selected the option to view only the unread messages. So, once the e-mail is read, it doesn't appear in Inbox anymore.

2)Actual problem can result if your computer is infected by a virus that might be deleting all or a few of the incoming e-mails after they are read. Thus, you should install and run a powerful anti-virus software to scan your computer.

Note: Do not configure the anti-virus software to scan Outlook e-mails as this can cause file corruption issues.
