Recovering automatically deleted junk mail

This morning I checked my mail junk folder looking for an email to move and a bunch of them were missing, including the email I needed. I only just found out after 30 days mail automatically deletes junk mail. However I can’t recover automatically deleted junk emails and they are not in mail bin. How can I recover them??

Generally if they been deleted from the server there is no recovery.

However you can contact your mail provider or look at their help site to see if there is a way.
