Junk Mail

Hello everyone.
I would like to know if it is possible to retrieve old junk mail?
I had been wait for an activation link to arrive and was puzzled why it did not arrive :confused: I now realise that it may have gone straight to my junk mail, and it is now well after the allowed time before they are automatically removed!!
Thank you for any help

    Not sure what email serrvice you use, but if it's hotmail or yahoo for instance, once the junk mail has been emptied, I think it's gone for good.

    Some sites that send activation links have a function to resend the activation link (I think on the basis this kind of thing happens). So I would go to whatever site you were trying to register with or whatever and see if you can put your e-mail in to be resend the activation. Otherwise, probably have to re-register totally.
