How do you restore an ignored email?

I accidentally swiped ignore on an email on my iPhone. How can I get it back? I do not have this option on anything but my iPhone. Going to unblock does not work. I wish there was a way to disable the ignore option.

Retrieving Lost eMails:


Where to Look:

  • Trash folder
  • Archived folder, if existent.
  • Sent folder, if you ever replied to it.

Backup eMail from Another Device:

That's really the only way to recover it....

  1. Go Here: Import or Export Mailboxes in Mail on Mac - Apple Support
  2. Overview: Import mailboxes
  3. Overview: Export mailboxes
  4. Proceed from there as necessary.


To Perform the Export/Import:

  1. Power Off: your router
  2. Boot Up: another device signed in to the same eMail account
  3. Open: Mail
  4. Export: your entire Mail Library. Once exported, you'll have a copy of it.
  5. Close: Mail
  6. Restart: the Mac
  7. Log In: as the same account
  8. Open: Mail
  9. Import: the Mail Library to back to you Mac.
  10. Access: the Mail

You are welcome.


Perform the Export:

For the sake of not losing your current Mail Library, I would recommend you export it while it exists. It may be gone in just a moment. So, disconnect from a network, and export it all. It would be wise, IMO.


For instructions, refer to my previous reply (Steps 1-4).
