How do I retreive deleted email from months ago?

How do I retreive email that was deleted months ago and no longer available in the trash bin?

For anything gone several months ago it's just gone. There is a retrieval feature you have in your account but it only goes back two weeks or so for emails deleted from the Trash folder. You can see it by right-clicking on the Trash folder and then on "Recover Deleted Items".

Using your account page on your email server, there should be a way to delete all old emails.

Set up email on my iphone 5c and now it is downloading every email I have ever received. Even old emails from months ago, how do I make it stop?

When creating an antiquated POP account with a new email client, all received email that remains at the incoming mail server is downloaded as new and unread email.

Extremely unlikely, as they will have been over-written several times.
Possibly a professional data rescue firm can try, but that will cost you a four-figure sum.

How do I mass delete email from Trash folder?

Is there an easy way to mass delete the emails from the trash folder?

In your settings>mail>account>advanced, there is a way you can set it to self delete after 1 day. This is the earliest setting to self delete the mails. If you need to delete all of them right away. Just open one of the mails and press the trash can icon at bottom. It automatically opens the next mail and you can just sit there thumbing the trash can until all are gone. Works for me, both ways.

How can I restore deleted emails from iCloud backup?

I have an Earthlink email account that never synced with the server before, so I went a little crazy deleting a bunch of emails. It wasn't until I checked my WebMail that I realized it deleted them from the server, too. I checked with Earthlink and they couldn't do anything for me. But I had an iCloud backup from yesterday that I tried to restore. Except the email account keeps syncing with the server and I'm back to where I started. Is there any way to retrieve this data? It's gotta still be in the backup, right?
Thanks,
Ann

If they were backed up, you can restore your phone from that previous backup. If they weren't backed up, you cannot restore them.

How can i mass delete emails from my inbox?

Are there any tricks to deleting all of the messages from my inbox at once, without having to tap each message??
Thanks.

Go to the gear icon on the upper right; Click on "Rules". Make a rule that says, "If an email is from.... " and put in what emails you want deleted. I had a lot of emails that got forwarded mistakenly from another account--like 4,000! And I used this rule to move them all to Trash. The rule can be anything... All emails from "gmail", etc...
Hope this works for you!

I am having problems with mail after upgrading to snow leopard. When I send an email to somebody, I would get a reply from them but the content of the reply were old emails from months ago. Any ideas what's going on?

For ex. The subject of my email was "List of kids dancing this weekend". Then i would compose my email and send it to the recepient. They responded to my email with the same subject "List of kids dancing this weekend" but the content of the email was the email I received from somebody else months ago. This "phenomenon" happened serveral times already. Please help!

Turns out the auto-complete database is a SQLite DB stored in this folder. Probably the ownership and/or permissions are messed up on your system. Mine (under Snow Leopard) show ownership by me and rw privilege for all files in that directory, including MailRecents....

How come when I delete emails from my iPad, it's still shows up on my account when I logon from a computer

Hello, just got the iPad2 and still learning to use it. I've been checking my hotmail from my iPad and notice emails that I've deleted from my iPad still shows up when I check from a regular computer. How do I fix this problem? Anyone pls help!?!
Thanks,
Carina

With a POP account, every email client has an option for removing messages from the server when downloaded by the email client with the account settings.
The Mail app on a Mac includes this as with any other email client.
The Mail app with an iOS device does not include an option for removing messages from the server right away after being downloaded as with an email client on a computer. With an iOS device the options include when moved from Inbox or after 7 days, not right away after being downloaded.
Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only for this and other reasons. No mailboxes with a POP account can be kept synchronized with the server with an email client.
It is now possible to access a Hotmail account as an Exchange account with the Mail app on an iOS device. Doing so would probably work better for you. Instructions for doing so available at Microsoft's website or via their Hotmail website.

TS3899 How can I mass delete emails from iPad?

I have a huge build-up in unread mail on my ipad mainly because I routinely read mail on my iMac.
Does anyone know how I can delete 1600 emails without doing so separatel

If you are on iOS 7 you can open the inbox, choose edit, then choose mark all, mark all as read. This will at least make your messages all become read as I assume they are on your Mac.
As far as deletion, there is no Delete All option in the Mail app. One way you can delete all is to log into your email account on the internet portal and clear off whatever emails you don't want form the email server there. If you are using a Mac, your CMD+A functions will usually work to help you complete this task quickly.
Once all the emails are removed form the server, on the iPad, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Tapyour email account and turn mail off (or delete account if there is no mail switch). Power cycle the iPad then go back to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and turn mail back on or add account if you deleted it before. This will make the iPad query the email server and pull down only those emails that are left on the server (if you didn;t delete them all).
I hope this helps!

Re: how to recover permanatly delete email from outlook 2007?

I don't have backup data for the mail in server. Is there any other options to recover mail?

If you have Exchange:
Outlook -> Folder -> Recover Deleted Items.
Beyond that, you need to do a restore of the mailbox from the server.
If it was a PST, you can try to restore the folder it was stored in to a Previous Version.

Anyone know how to delete emails from trash folder?

I have hada Droid phone for about 6 months. When I delete emails from my inbox it goes to a "trash" file (similiar to trash file in Outlook). It is getting full.

How to delete email from iPhone ONLY and not from server?

Hi. I have a Yahoo! POP mail account.. Can anyone advise me how to setup my iPhone so it ONLY deletes email from the iPhone and NOT the server. So, after I read an email on the iPhone and delete it, the email remains in the INBOX on the server? If not, I will send a feedback to Apple. BTW - I can dl and send email just fine. Thank you.

ampullae,
When you setup Yahoo on the iPhone it defaults to IMAP because Yahoo offers free IMAP Push for iPhone users, as discussed in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305882
If you add your Yahoo account as "other" it will be setup as POP.
With IMAP messages are stored on the server, and messages created in one email client, such as the iPhone, show up in the sent mailbox on both. In addition messages moved to a different folder on the iPhone, will be in a different folder when you access your Yahoo mail via a web browser or another IMAP client. Likewise message you delete, will also be synchronized and deleted.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

Unable to delete email from trash bin. How do I do this? If I select and chose delete, it doesn't. What am I doing wrong? My grand daughte is using my iPad and I don't want her to see some of the mail there.

Unable to delete email from trash bin. How do I do this? If I select and chose delete, it doesn't. What am I doing wrong? My grand daughte is using my iPad and I don't want her to see some of the mail there.

There are two ways that should work. When you are in the trash folder, you can swipe on the email in the list - left to right - and a red Delete button should pop up. Or you can select - Edit - at the top of the list of messages and then select the message and tap delete.
Not sure exactly how this works - but if you have restrictions enabled - especially since you let your grandchild use the device - that may be restricting what you can do in the mail app. Go to Settings>General>Restrictions. If you have it set to on - turn it off or see if you have mail restricted.
