When you need to retrieve deleted email you have several choices. If you’re messages were saved on a web based email such as AOL, Hotmail, or Gmail, there is a great likelihood that your messages still exist and are “hiding” inside of that free email service’s recycle bin. Obviously all you need do to rescue these files is open that then choose the file and send it back into the new mail. If the messages you were hoping to recover had been emptied from this trash you may have to work a little harder to retrieve deleted emails.
To retrieve deleted mail that is no longer available online you will need to access your computer’s temporary Internet files. These files hold the image of any emails you have opened and read on your personal computer. To access these files load the File Finder special recovery disk and start File Finder from the program menu. Select the option of complete scan and allow File Finder to slowly look through your computer’s hard drive. Thousands of files will be recovered. Each of these is marked with a date and time that they were last modified. You can easily look over these dates and times until you find the ones that approximately match when you opened and read the missing email. Then select those messages for recovery and save them to new file. It may take a bit of time to look through all of these recovered files. But rest assured one of them is your missing email.
