Restore GMAIL deleted messages

travelodger

I have spent the last 6 hours on this and have been sent round and round in circles.

Yesterday I was doing housekeeping and decluttering and without meaning to I must have accidentally deleted all  my sent and inbox emails for my business. I was absolutely mortified when I got to my desk today to find them all gone.

Inbox is empty.
Sent is empty.
Trash is empty.
Spam is empty.
Folders which I created to store email threads with important individuals are all there but empty.

It does not matter whether I look at my gmail account on Thunderbird on my HD or online, or via my phone, they are all gone, every single one of them. 

When I look at where they are stored on my harddrive in the Thunderbird folder, the folders are there but all are empty.

I tried to use System Restore but it is switched off.

This is an utter disaster and I must find a way to get them back. I need to refer back to convos I have had with many businesses and clients.

These emails are SO important that I cannot imagine why on earth I would delete them. And yet I suppose somehow I must have done.

I've been googling and youtubing this problem all day and got nowhere except dizzy from going round in circles.

Can anyone please help me?

Have you logged into your gmail account directly online (not via thunderbird). Gmail stores deleted emails in trash for 30 days

The folder you are looking for is BIN 

PHK

Also you could try restoring from your last backup.
