Thx brbo, that was useful. I realised they are gone because I deleted one of the mail accounts :((( There is a note in one of these threads that here is a chance to recover this account if it was not deleted from the server. How can I check that and then restore?
Thank you katarzyna243,
You wrote: How can I check that and then restore?
For example:
if you deleted your Gmail account from the Mail. app, ... but you didn't close your Gmail account itself,
your Mail would still be available on GMail's server.
Then you could retrieve your contacts by logging in to your Gmail account where they are likely to still be available to you.
OR
You could likely link the Gmail account to Mail again, and retrieve your contacts that way!
Hope this is making sense to you.
Cheers :)
