Q: MacMail transfer lost emails
I have just encountered an issue with using MacMail to transfer mails from a mailbox on one account on server "A" to another mailbox on a separate account on the same server. The process was transferring using send and receive procedure I suppose. Some way into the operation I needed to stop the transfer as I was running short of time. I did this by clicking the "x" next to the "outgoing emails" message in the mail activity window bottom left. Immediately after stopping this the emails in the donor mailbox completely disappeared.
I have tried restarting MacMail and rebuilding mailbox and sync and nothing seems to help. I also had the same account details on Thunderbird and checked that mailbox there and confirmed these mails are missing.
Is there any hope of recovery please?
Appreciate your help.
