The spam tray is that tray where the emails that Gmail considers that they are not of our interest, or include commercial content, enter. With this simple tutorial we are going to learn how to recover a spam in Gmail that we have previously deleted.
We already explained how deleted emails were recovered from Gmail some time ago , but now we go a step further and focus on spam.
Deleting an email is an easy task, but sometimes among so much simplicity something slips into our eyes that we didn’t want to delete, for example, in spam there are usually emails with discounts, coupons, gift vouchers, flash offers, etc. Maybe we have selected all the emails and then we have deleted them, because here we bring the solution to recover it.
Important: in the spam tray there are also many fraudulent phishing emails that try to attract users through discounts, raffles, gifts, etc. Detecting these scam emails is not an easy task, so it is time to use distrust.
How to block a contact in Gmail
Before knowing what to do to recover an unwanted email, we must differentiate between 2 types of ways to delete an email in Gmail:
- Delete “basic”: is the one that appears when we hover over the email and click on the trash icon . What happens next is that it disappears from the spam tray and goes to the trash. When 30 days have passed, it will be automatically deleted.
- Permanently delete: if we select the email in the spam tray and choose the option to “Delete permanently”, we will be deleting that email permanently and forever. Almost everything in this life is reversible, so later we will tell who to ask for help to recover it.
Recover a deleted email in 3 seconds
All Gmail mail that is in the trash can be moved to the received folder, in this way, we would have already recovered it . That is, if we have used the basic deletion option, we can go to the trash and select the email that interests us and then move it to “We receive”:
In case we have permanently deleted the mail, there is little chance of bringing it back, but all is not lost.
We can contact Google through the web that we leave below these lines. We must bear in mind that they force us to secure our account before starting the process, in addition, it is something that only works for emails that are not spam.

Be that as it may, spam is automatically detected, and after 30 days, the spam tray is permanently removed. We can also manually tell Gmail that certain email is spam. From that moment on, it unwanted said company, email address, content, etc. But as we have seen, there are some actions that are reversible.
