All mails in my iCloud Inbox are gone
When I opened my Mail app on the iPhone yesterday I was shocked to find that any and every e-mail in my Inbox folder has disappeared. There was only one mail that was sent to me that morning.
Logging into iCloud on a browser or opening the Mail app, my iCloud inbox also merely contains that one e-mail.
There were 4 years worth of e-mails in there, including important ones from my university. I need these e-mails back very urgently.
- I have not willingly or accidentally deleted all e-mails at once.
- Mails still take up over 600 MBs in my iCloud storage, just as before they were gone.
- Searching for keywords which were part of deleted mails did not turn up results.
- All other folders (Sent, Drafts, Junk, Trash, created folders) are fine.
- I tried logging out and logging back in, removing and adding back the iCloud account in Mail, restarting my laptop, to no avail.
- I tried Mailbox > Rebuild, to no avail. It rebuilt that one e-mail I received after all my mails were gone.
- Apple's Support website asks for a serial number for my device to make a call (despite the issue being completely unrelated to any Apple devices I own) and refuses to show me a Chat option. Other solutions shown, such as the aforementioned Rebuild, did not work.
