Recovering deleted emails?

Scania · 1 Mar 2020 at 10:36

I appear to have selected all and deleted the contents of my inbox on my iphone, then cleared my bin.

So, I'm left with an empty inbox and an empty bin.

Fairly sure I did this on Friday, probably alcohol-related

, is there anything I can do to get them back?

Thanks.

You haven't mentioned what provider.

Ah, minor detail....

Apple mail (icloud.com)

Once you have deleted them from the bin that's it unless you have a backup done on iTunes. Not 100% sure if you can do it via an iCloud restore. Highly doubt it though.

Not touched iTunes for years so that's unlikely, my last automatic backup was early this morning so I presume it would just restore back to how I am now with them still deleted?

Crap.

You shouldn't put the mail into the bin, it should be archived really. I don't think there is anything you can do now then.

Yes, valuable lesson learnt!

Do you have a Mac with Time Machine backups? You can restore emails through there.

I’ve got an iMac 27 but, unfortunately it’s just a clean install of the O.S. prior to selling it, it’s never been tied to my Apple account alas.
