Hi,

I'm using OS X 10.6.8 on a Mac Mini and using MAC Mail over an IMAP connection.

For some reason MAC Mail has not copyed messages from mail account (I think).

I saw the Inbox messages and I controlled it was all OK Offline.

The day after I decided to cancel mails from server and then, when I started MAC MAIL all the messages desappeared.

I tried to use a recovery program but it founds only 30 messages so I can't manage if MAC MAIL had really copyed the messages or not.

Someone can help me recovering the files or understanding what happened?

Thanks and sorry for my English, I hope you can understand my problem (ridiculous?)

Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Check the web site of the e-mail provider to see if the e-mails are still on the server.

I wrote to the server administrator, but it seems they don'care about it, the answer was once the messages are deleted they cannot be recovered

So: I deleted the messages, it'my fault ...

But the real question is: if the messages were on my MAC and after a second they weren't any more (bad english!), what really happened?

They are still on my MAC or I loose them definitely?

Thank you

You are welcome.

Do you have a backup you could restore from?
