EaseUS Email Recovery Wizard Review: Features, Pros & Cons

How to Use EaseUS Email Recovery Wizard — Step-by-Step Tutorial

Overview

This tutorial shows a straightforward, prescriptive workflow to recover deleted or lost emails using EaseUS Email Recovery Wizard for common email clients (Outlook .pst/.ost, Windows Mail, Thunderbird). Assumes Windows PC and a recent backup of your disk not required.

Before you start

• Close your email client.
• Do not write new data to the drive where the email files were stored (reduces overwrite risk).
• Locate typical email file paths:
  • Outlook PST/OST: C:\Users\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook
  • Thunderbird: C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles
  • Windows Mail: C:\Users\AppData\Local\Comms

Step-by-step recovery

1. Install and launch EaseUS Email Recovery Wizard

   • Download from EaseUS official site and install.
   • Open the program with administrator permissions.

2. Select scan location

   • Choose the disk or folder where the email files (.pst, .ost, .mbox, .eml) were stored.
   • If unsure, scan the entire drive where Windows is installed.

3. Run Quick Scan then Deep Scan

   • Start Quick Scan first for recent deletions.
   • If results are incomplete, run Deep Scan (takes longer but finds more).

4. Filter and preview found emails

   • Use filters (file type, date range, sender) to narrow results.
   • Preview recovered items where the program shows message content, attachments, and metadata.

5. Choose items to recover

   • Tick the specific emails, folders, or mailbox files you need.
   • Prefer recovering entire mailbox files (.pst/.ost) when possible to preserve folder structure.

6. Recover to a safe location

   • Click Recover and save to a different drive than the source to avoid overwriting.
   • Verify recovered files open in your email client (File > Open > Open Outlook Data File for PST).

7. Import recovered files into email client (if needed)

   • Outlook: File > Open & Export > Open Outlook Data File (.pst) or Import/Export to merge.
   • Thunderbird: Use ImportExportTools NG to import .eml/.mbox.
   • Windows Mail: Use the client’s import or copy recovered files to the Mail folders.

Troubleshooting

• No results: run Deep Scan; try scanning a disk image (create image first).
• Corrupt PST: use Outlook’s Inbox Repair Tool (scanpst.exe) on recovered PST.
• Partial messages: attempt recovery of entire mailbox file rather than individual messages.

Verification & cleanup

• Open random recovered messages to confirm attachments and headers are intact.
• Backup recovered mailstore to external drive or cloud.
• Delete temporary recovered copies from the source drive only after confirming successful import and backup.

Quick tips

• Act fast: stop using the affected drive to improve recovery chances.
• Recover to a separate drive.
• Keep a current backup to avoid future recovery needs.
