Hi Claus,

If you believe it to be hacked, I would recommend changing your password and enabling 2FA:

Change Password

Enable 2FA

If you cannot login I would recommend using the account recovery form:

Hi Jakub,
I got in contact with the Microsoft support team and I got this response. Try this out and see if this works for you :
1. Open an email (any email in inbox), click three dots (...) next to reply/forward icon.
2. Select "Get Add-ins".
3. Type "Email recovery" on the search box. Wait for the result and click "Add" button then close the page by clicking the X button at the upper-right of the page.
4. Open an email (any email in inbox), click three dots (...) next to reply/forward icon and select Email Recovery.
5. Run the Email Recovery add-in on "Recoverable Items" and "Purges".
6. It will create a separate folder for each in your folders list. Check for the emails that you are looking for.
7. Refresh the whole page to see the folder created on left pane.
