How do I get back old emails that were lost when I changed my email address?

I changed email providers. I have the new account set up. I then went to Tools/Account Settings/Account Actions. I then removed the old account (assuming that it would stay in my inbox and just not try to send or receive) and all of the old incoming and sent emails that I had been saving under that account in my inbox and sent files folders disappeared. How do I get them back?

Which program do you use for email: Thunderbird? Outlook Express? Other?
As you may know, you can set up accounts using two different protocols: POP3 and IMAP. With POP3, you actually download copies of all mail and Sent messages are stored locally. Removing your account should be no problem. With IMAP, you are viewing a mirror of your mail which really lives on the server. Removing an IMAP account might remove the folders, although I can't recall ever trying it.

  • How do I get back my music that I lost when I updated my software on my 2nd generation Ipod Touch

    I updated the software on my Ipod touch and I lost all the music that I had downloaded from Itunes.  I can find the purchase history but can't get it back onto my Ipod.  Does anyone know how to do this?

  • HT1692 How do I get my old contacts that were last synced on my ITunes account through my laptop (USB) to my new iPad ? I no longer have a laptop just my iPad mini.

    How do I get my old contacts that were last synced on my ITunes account through my laptop (USB) to my new iPad ? I no longer have a laptop just my iPad mini.

    So the contacts were synced to the computer you no longer have?  You could use a free app like MCBackup and email the contacts from the ipad to yourself and open the email on your  phone and then import the contacts from the email to the phone

  • How do i get back the songs that were on my iphone before i used autofill in itunes?

    I'm still not that good at using itunes so when i connected my iphone and chose 'autofill', i assumed that it would just add the songs that i didn't already have - but it actually replaced all the songs.
    Now all the songs that i originally have on my iphone, have been removed and replaced with what was in itunes.
    do you know how to recover these songs that have been removed?

    I don't have time for this.  I paid for the songs.  This shouldn't be happening.

  • How can I recover bookmarks and files that were lost when Firefox updated?

    This morning, there was a message that firefox needed to be updated. Since I don't like (or use) Google Chrome or IE, I unchecked those options as part of the update. Once the update was completed, all of my bookmarks and folders were gone. Is there ANY way to either recover the missing items OR restore/roll back to the firefox browser I was already using?

    Hi, first open bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import and Backup >Restore, and see if you have a backup there.
    If not, please see - [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]], and [[Recovering important data from an old profile]].
    If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

  • How do i get back my playlists that have disappeared!!! they were backed up both on my laptop and the cloud

    how do i get back my playlists that have disappeared!!! they were backed up both on my laptop and the cloud

    Are you signed into itunes with your email address?  Purchases that are made through itunes are tied to the email address on your account.  If someone else logged in then your purchases wouldn't show. 
    When you go to the itunes store look at the black/gray bar at the top.  On the left is the email address that is signed in.  If it's incorrect just click on it and select "Sign Out."  When you sign back in all should be well.

  • Hi. I clicked some snaps from my iphone and post that without copying it i restored the iphone with all apps etc available from the backup taken. How do i get back the photos which were clicked earlier. Is there a way to get it back?? Please help

    Yes i had not taken back up before restoring it. However i was just going through some links on the net and there is a software available for MAC to retrieve such lost data. But the point is will the said software work on iphone as the OS is not MAC..
    Will have to give a try to this. If successful will share it with all. Anyone else has any idea about this please so share.

  • If i selected to "Create a new backup" and then cancelled that option but want to go back and select "Inherit backup history"; how do i go back and do that since now when i plug in my HD, that option doesn't appear anymore?? Any Help?

    If i selected to "Create a new backup" and then canceled that option but want to go back and select "Inherit backup history"; how do I go back and do that since now when I plug in my external hard drive, that option doesn't appear anymore?? Any Help? I bought a MacBook Air, but decided to return it for the newest model, and I wanted to back it up so that I can then back it up on my new MacBook Air. I didn't understand the option to Inherit or start a new back up, and therefore selected the option to create a new backup. I believe I should have selected to Inherit backup history so that when i back it up on the new MackBook Air, it appears the same as the one I'm returning.... Is there anyway that i can re-select the option to Inherit backup history for time machine?

    Thanks for sharing this link.

  • How can I get rid of photos that were downloaded from my computer?

    How can I get rid of photos that were downloaded from my computer?  I need to free up space on my iPad

    Assuming that you synced the photos from iTunes - or whatever downloaded means - you must use iTunes again in order to remove the songs from the iPad. You have to uncheck the albums in the photos folder that you sync from in the Photos tab of iTunes and follow that with a sync.

  • Can I recover emails that were blocked when my storage was full?

    The storage on icloud was full for me for perhaps a number of days. I bought extra storage (20GB) and my emails are now working, but how can I recover the emails that were blocked when my storage was full?

    Yes.  I tried the refresh and checked the uninstall tab.  Still nothing.  Another thing though - when I entered my Blackberry ID, it would not let me use my screen name because it was supposedly already in use.  But I knew that because it was in use by me.  It would only let me use the same name with a numerical suffix.  So I am wondering if it thinks I am still logged on from before the upgrade.  Also, is it possible the Playbook thinks I am some other use and won't let me access my files - like photos and videos, etc.

  • HT1338 How do i get back my music that i have bought from itunes which i deleted by mistake  thanks

    how do i get back my music which i deleted by mistake which i bought from i tunes store

    Well if it has a non-Filevaulted hard drive, you need to stop using the computer and either take it to a local PC/Mac repair shop that does data recovery or do it yourself with a spare blank powered external boot drive and $100 software that will read the deleted (but not yet overwritten) files.
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    Once you have the files recovered, back your data up, especially burning data DVD's in iTunes.

  • How can I get back old issues from my TIME app?

    Hi, I hope someone can help me.  I've been trying to get help for a month now.  I had purchased several issues from TIME app but when I just got my ipad 2, I couldn't get the issues back.  I used the same ID and password.  I decided to try buying a new issue and when I did, I had an email from itunes warning me that it was not my usual ID.  I am very confused.  I wrote to TIME and they say I should contact itunes.  I have spent hours trying to contact itunes for help.  They seem uncontactable.  Can someone please tell me if I can somehow get my old issues back?
    Karen

    If they were not backed up or part of photostream, then no, you cannot.
