From GMail Customer Service: If you've deleted a message permanently, by clicking Delete Forever in your Spam or Trash, it isn't possible to recover the message.

In the past, users have reported that they are missing messages as a result of unauthorized access. Though we cannot explain how or why this happens (we do not have access to the content of mail, whether or not it has been deleted), in some cases we may be able to recover missing messages that were deleted as a result of malicious behavior. If your account was compromised and you would like us to investigate whether recovery is possible, please first complete this process to secure your account and then file a report.

If you've moved a message to Trash, by clicking Delete, but it's been fewer than 30 days and you haven't permanently deleted it, follow these steps to put it back in your inbox:

Sign in to Gmail.
Click Trash along the left side of any Gmail page. (If you don't see Trash along the left side of your Gmail page, go to the Labels tab in Settings, then click the show link next to the Trash label.)
Locate the message you'd like to move to your inbox, and check the box next to the sender's name.
Click Move to Inbox.
