As the title states my wife accidentally deleted all of her gmail emails. Is there any way to recover her emails? Thanks!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | ||

Using gmail directly or an e-mail app? If the former, I believe she's SOL. If the latter, there maybe hope. And you're sure they're not just in the trash, right? -Rob I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888 A=A | |||

Contact the NSA. Seriously-are they still in her trash? | |||

Well, if its like Outlook, there should be Delete file where she can recover them from. I don't have Gmail account, however I can't see how they would be any different from anyone else. ___________________________________________________________________________ "....imitate the action of the Tiger." | |||

That's because you don't have a gmail account. I hate gmail. -Rob I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888 A=A | |||

If she is viewing her gmail from an application like Mail on a Mac, all the gmail emails are still in her inbox when viewing through the browser, at gmail.com Rarely do I venture to my five or six gmail accounts, preferring to view them all in Mac Mail. So when I do open gmail, there are a zillion emails in the inboxes. As others have said, check the Trash. | |||

She has recovered some of them. She emailed gmail and explained what happened. They are still apparently "recovering" some of them for her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

The NSA has them. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

OK, why is this comment in this thread? Why was it necessary to introduce politics into this thread? Does this help the OP?

Good news. Gmail retrieved all her accidentally deleted emails. She was panicking last night but in the back of my mind I was thinking Gmail certainly had all the emails and would have little issue helping her to retrieve them. I still don't exactly understand how she did this, her phone memory was full so she was deleting emails and somehow deleted everything quite effectively. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

*shrug* Regardless: When you "delete" email with gmail it goes into a "Trash" folder. If you've been using an email client application and IMAP, there should be an "[imap]Trash" folder. If you're using the gmail web interface: Then just a "Trash" folder (might be hidden under "More"). If you delete it from a "Trash" folder, then it's really gone. Exception to the above: If you've been using gmail with POP3 (do they even still support that?) and you delete email it'll be wherever your email client sticks it--if anywhere.

Hope it works out for her. However if it is like my Clearwire/G-mail was once you delete they are gone forever. This is one of the many reasons I do not use G-mail. I have to have the account for some things like you tube and facebook but I never use it. SigP229R Harry Callahan "A man has got to know his limitations".

SIG 229R, She recovered all of them. In the digital world nothing is ever completely "gone". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||
