How to recover deleted mail.

I accidentally deleted the contents of my "sent" mail.
How to I restore this?
By the way, I back up my iMac to an external firewire drive each week,
so I really just need to know which files to replace (I guess?).

How is it backed up? A complete backup?
You should be able to use Mail's Import function, Mail>File>Import Mailboxes...>Mail for OSX, then navigate to the top Mail folder in the backup...
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Choose that whole Mail foder, after a bit it'll show you the choices of Boxes to Import, Choose Sent, it'll import into a boc named Import, which then you can highlight all the eMails & move them to your Inbox.

How to recover deleted mail/mailbox?

While trying to solve a problem I had with a mailbox in Mac Mail, I deleted the mailbox. I only took the precaution to save the Inbox in a different location but not the Sent mail. Big mistake. After deleting the mailbox I found out that it also deleted all the mails in the Sent folder, some of which are very important to me.
I looked for suggestions in the Apple Support Communities and found what seemed to be the answer to my problem: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/613328?start=0&tstart=0
This is what I did as Geoffrey Charters suggested:
Step 1: Download FileSalvage (https://secure.subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/Undelete/DataRecovery/FileSalvage) and run it in demo mode. In this mode, you can only explore, which is OK. Set the "free space only" option and start the scan. It takes a while. You should see your deleted .emlx files in the resulting list. Select one and make sure the preview pane contains email headers. That way you'll know you are in good shape. If so...
Step 2: Buy a registration code for FileSalvage, and use the "Register" menu item in FileSalvage to enable the full version.
Step 3: Select all the batches of 100 .emlx file that have been found and restore them to your second disk drive.
And then as David Gimeno Gost suggested:
1. Create a folder on the Desktop and name it however you want, but give it an .mbox suffix, e.g. Recovered.mbox
2. Within that folder, create a folder named Messages (with no suffix), and move the messages to be imported into this folder.
3. In Mail, do File > Import Mailboxes, choose Mail for Mac OS X as the data format, and follow the instructions. Note that Mail wants you to select the folder that contains the *.mbox folders to be imported (i.e. the Desktop in this case), not the *.mbox folders themselves.
After running FileSalvage for 4 days that it took to scan all my drive byte by byte, it found the files I needed and I could even preview parts of the messages I was looking for. Everything looked promissing. I recovered such files and stored them in a secondary drive.
This is where the new problem starts. All the retreived files are stored in the secondary drive but when I try to preview any of them using Finder, just a blank page opens. I also tried importing them to Mail as David Gimeno suggested but, although an imported mailbox was created, all the messages there are blank. I can even see in the size column in Mail that every message is 0 bytes.
I know that somehow the information that I need is stored in the files I recovered with FileSalvage, because when I browse through such files using Finder, I can see that they have different sizes. So, the information must be there, I just don't know how to access it.
Has anybody had this problem? Any suggestions?

Appart from solving with a backup, do you know any other way I could get my information back, according to the description I made?

How to recover a mail alias

how to recover a mail alias ?

When a POP account is deleted from Mail Preferences Accounts, all the mail files locally cached are deleted. A warning splash screen comes up and tells you that, when you are deleting a POP account from Mail Preferences Accounts, and it asks you are you sure that you want to proceed deleting the account. If you had originally configured the account setup to leave downloaded messages on the server and to store drafts on the server, then recreating the account configuration in Mail Preferences Accounts would, I believe, get you back to normal. Otherwise, you may be needing to use some data recovery software, but after a week, it is likely that those deallocated blocks of hard disk, where your mail and important draft resided, have likely been overwritten and are now unrecoverable.
You may want to consider getting an IMAP account somewhere for the future, where deleting an account configuration from Mail Preferences Accounts does not affect mail stored on the IMAP server (or drafts, if you store drafts there, too). IMAP also has the added benefit of staying sync'ed between multiple computers, too. Some email providers are not too keen on them because then they have to provide storage space for customers above and beyond storage space for their new incoming unread mail; that's why they do POP.

Is there a way to recover deleted mail from my iPad and recover deleted messages from my onw iPhone?

Is there a way to recover deleted mails sent from iPad and/or recover deleted messages from my iPhone?
A software or even open it? It is very important for me get back the messages sent on December. I did not have a back up at that time, at least that I know, but I change my iPhone and had as I got a micro chip, I could take my contacts from iTunes.
Does it means a back up was done at the Note book I used that time or the messages are lost?
And my mails? From my server, I can recover only from 5 last days!
Thank you for any help!!

Thanks for replying - no, I had not done a backup since the shots were taken and then attemped to put them in an album as I did not want to change the enviornment of the phone from when I had inadvertently delted them. Unfortunatlely, when asked "Do you want to delete these photos from all locations," I hit yes and they were also deleted from my Photostream.

How to recover deleted systems in "All Systems" collection in SCCM 2012

Hi Everyone,
how to recover deleted systems in "All Systems" collection in SCCM 2012 and also I had one system which is by accidentally deleted, I know the system name, but I cannot able to add the system manually to Device Collections, is
there any solution for this...
I had discovered many systems using discovery, I recovered some systems but not all the systems..
Please suggest...
saikumar CH

just a follow up on Torstens reply. You will see the discovery records show up in the console without having the client installed. That will be corrected when clients perform a hardware inventory re-sync. It all happens automatically, no panic and don't
reinstall the clients.

How to recover deleted pictures in imessage on ipad

how to recover deleted photos in message on ipad?

Were the pictures on the microSD memory card? Was that the only place? Not sync'd to cloud service? Not sync'd or copied to a computer using Link?
If the files were on the card and only on the card, you can read the card with computer and run a utility (search) to find and recover deleted files. If the spaces where the pictures files hasn't been overwritten yet, then you should be able to undelete the file. You may not be able to undelete all files, depending. Whatever you cannot undelete is lost.
If you sync'd or copied the files somewhere, you can sync them or copying them back to the device, depending. Link does not delete files from the computer when they are deleted from the device, so if you were using Link to sync the pictures then you still have them on the computer. The same may or may not be the case if you are sync'ing using another method.

How do you delete mail in 5.0 without opening

On my ipad mail has an edit option which allows me to delete mail withuot opening. Mail 5.0 on my imac does not have this option. How do I delete mail here without opening?

Right-click on the message and select delete. There are probably other ways to do this, but the right-click is what I do.

How to recover deleted content file in webcenter content 11g

How to recover deleted folder and contents containing (.doc,.pdf etc), FrameworkFolders component used.

CORRECTION, I was incorrect on a couple of items earlier, sorry:
As you are using Framework Folders, there is no Trash bin. This was removed as it was one reason for Folders_g not being scalable.
When you delete a folder or content via the Framework Folders interface, the content is set to Expired status but not deleted. The folder itself IS deleted so that information is lost.
So you can recover the contents by searching for anything which has an Expired status, but you need to do this in Repository Manager as far as I know because Expired content will not be returned in the usual search query (only Released content can be found, by design). Of course, if you have deleted more than one folder, you will not be able to distinguish the contents as belonging to one folder or another.
On the other hand if you delete the content from the Content Info page, then the content is genuinely deleted from the repository. You'd have to recover that from backup.
Hope this helps! And sorry for the earlier inaccuracy.
Frank.

How to recover deleted the pictures

How to recover deleted the pictures. When you change the software iOS6 iOS7 I deleted all the pictures myself and can not leave them back in iTunes

If you're still in the book mode you can try using the Undo command: Command+Z. If you're left the book mode I'm not sure you can use it.
If you have TM copy of the library just before you deleted the photos from the pages bring that entire library back. It will have the book in it. To do so go to you Pictures folder and then enter Time Machine. Go back to the time just before the deletion took place, select the library and restore.

How to recover deleted data in os/400

Hi ,
Can anybody let me know how to recover deleted data from a table in os/400 .
Thanks in advance .
Thanks & Regards
Dhaval Raje

Hi Dhaval,
unfortunately this highly depends on the thing you did :-((
In general SAP says (with good reason!): You recover nothing or the COMPLETE DB - otherwise it could be inconsistent. In your cae, that means, you go back to the error case.
For experts RSTOBJ of this table would be of help. But, then you need to know what happened in detail and you need to be familiar with the dependent files like indexes & views.
So, if this is a test system, I would go back to an olde backup, if this is productive, I would ask a good DB2 for iSeries basis consultant. That is a problem, that can be solved.

Photos are not in iTunes, but they could be in an iTunes backup if you had run one. However, you say you never backed up, so there would be no way to recover them.
