# How do I restore deleted emails for a user?

**There are 2 ways you can search for the deleted emails and initiate restore:**

[Search for Email](https://help.syscloud.com/how-do-i-restore-deleted-emails-for-a-user#searchforemail) | [Enable Data Change Insights](https://help.syscloud.com/how-do-i-restore-deleted-emails-for-a-user#DCI-Addon)

**Follow the below steps to search for the email:**

If Data Change Insights is not enabled, then there is no way system can suggest and show the deleted mails, so you would need to search for the deleted mail that you wish to restore.

**Step 1**: Log in to the SysCloud backup application using your administrator credentials.

**Step 2**: Navigate to **Archives** and select **Gmail** under **Google Workspace**.

**Step 3**: Click the user account to view the archived Gmail data.

**Step 4**: In the search bar, enter the subject of the deleted email and press **Enter**.

**Step 5**: From the search results, select the checkbox next to the email(s) you want to restore, and then click **Restore**.

**Step 6**: In the **Restore** pop-up window, select the required snapshot date and time, choose the destination email account where you want to restore the email(s), and then click **Restore** to begin the restoration process.
