Lost mail

Hi guys I deleted around 250 mails from a new folder that popped up "Archived mail" it appeared to all be previously deleted trash. On hitting delete suddenly it flashed up as 6700 mails and completely emptied my in and my sent box - I cant find them anywhere. I still have my flagged apple mail folder.

Any ideas please and please keep answers simple as I am not great at this sort of thing!

Are you using POP or IMAP for email?

If POP, you may have difficulty recovering the email that is deleted, unless you made a clone backup of your system. Some data recovery companies are good at recovering files on the Mac.


If IMAP, and have some idea when the messages arrived, check with the company supplying the email to see if their backups may still have them.
