To recover an attachment in Outlook, start by checking the 'Deleted Items' folder because accidentally deleted emails often end up there. If the email containing the attachment is found, right-click on it and select 'Move' to restore it to your inbox. Additionally, use the 'Recover Deleted Items' feature from the folder menu if the email isn’t in the 'Deleted Items' folder. Contact your IT support if these methods don’t work since they may assist with recovering items from the server backup.
