Lost all my emails

carly

I have been given an ipad as an early Christmas present. So I set it up to pick up my emails from my Sky.com account ( Yahoo) thinking that it would only pick up future emails. However it downloaded all my emails since Sky changed over to Yahoo in April this year ( over 3000), GRRR !

I normally access these emails on my laptop (windows livemail) ...deleting those which are of little interest and keeping my inbox clean. They all remain in my Sky email account which I use as a backup folder.

So I deleted all the emails which had been picked up on the ipad except a few which I needed.

HOWEVER..... when I logged into my Sky.com account on my laptop it has also deleted every email in my inbox, all 3000 which includes some important ones which I really would not like to loose...... Is there anything I can do to recover these? I have run Recuva on the laptop and it has found 90000, going back years but when I open them a lot are empty or corrupted.


What is my best course of action please?

I don;t use sky or Yahoo but can you log on to your email account on the web using a browser?
https://skyid.sky.com/signin/email/

If so then is there a 'deleted items' or 'trash' folder with any files in there?

Are they in the trash folder on the ipad?

Sounds like the Ipad is set up to delete from server
think you will struggle here

This is what I'm thinking.... pity I didn't think to check before I deleted them.... my other devices delete from inbox but leave a copy on the server.... I think this may have changed when Sky changed their email from Google to Yahoo, there used to be a setting to achieve this, but there isn't one in the Yahoo mail setup.
