How can I retrieve deleted Mail inbox mail messages and sent messages?

I moved location and found (once again) that I could not send messages. In the past I have moved between Apple support and BT support to fix the problem. This time the BT IT technical support guy took over the screen, created a new account, made sure I could send messages and said goodbye.
In fixing the problem he deleted my existing BT Email Account and along with it 8 months worth of email history. I had backups to 5th April and hose are now restored but missing form 5th April to yesterday. With my old PC I could always retrieve stuff I'd deleted (as it never really disappeared from the computer)
Does anyone know if my deleted email box contents are still siting hidden somewhere on my laptop and if so how I can get them back? (I've only just started using Macs so still very green!)
Cheers

Zoe,
Welcome to the Discussions, and to Macs.
Each time you remove an email account there is a warning that the mailboxes associated with that account will be lost -- that is a very accurate message, and they no longer exist. The BT tech was simply clueless, but ought not to have been so cavalier!
Any messages that remain on the server, however, can again be downloaded -- are you able to view the POP server to see what remains on it? The Sent messages would not be there, of course.

  • How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail"     and "Archives"?  To my horror, I've emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes  (and why do I need to enter this question three times?"

    How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"? 
    To my horror, I emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes .
    All mail also disappeared from my iPad, I suppose because they are "synched"
    (Also, no offense, but why do I need to enter this question multiple times?)
    Thanks for any thoughts.

    I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
    I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
    I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal.

    Did you backup your device after you took the video but before you deleted it?  If so, restore your device with that backup.  If not, then there's no way to retrieve that video.

    How can I retrieve a train of text messages back to October 1, 2013, that I have deleted?

    For text messages that were transmitted through your cellular connection, you must contact your wireless carrier.  For iMessage texts that you have deleted, your decision at that time was final.

  • How can I retrieve deleted trash on a mac book pro?

    How can I retrieve deleted trash on a mac book pro? I inadvertently trashed and then deleted a file from my computer. Is there any way to retrieve it?

    Only be using data rescue software - and there's always the chance that the file has already been overwritten.
    I've used Data Rescue 3 to succesfully retrieve files that I've trashed. It's an $100 gamble, tough, and there's no assurance that you'll be able to retriebve the file.

    No Backup?
    Simply put, you can't.

    Restore your iPhone from the last backup you made before you deleted the photos from the iPhone. An iCloud backup (or an iTunes backup) saves the content of the camera roll.
