Hi, let's say you had an email exchange with someone 2 years ago. And since then you've deleted this email from your inbox or your trash. But later this email might be useful, let's say, in a litigation. Are there any way to retrieve it? Does the email providers (like Yahoo and Google) keep archives or records of those?

Thanks

 

There are ways to retrieve it, but 2 years later most likely impossible..

You can try this company..

Data Recovery Software to Undelete; File recovery; Disk recovery; Recover Deleted Files

They have an email recovery program..

Try contacting your ISP they may keep them, but I doubt it..

 

Data recovery DOES NOT WORK with Email folders, they're coded differently. If the file has been deleted from your inbox, and the trash erased. then you can do a Hardware recovery until the cows come home. BUt it'll still do nothing, but lighten your wallet.

You might want to check your email thru the webmail. There might be a possiblity of it still being in your inbox there, if it was setup in Outlook Express or MS Outlook to save a copy on your ISP server as well as downloading a copy to your inbox.

Personally I refuse to use anything but Webmail, I use Gmail, and with almost 7gb of space, I'll never run out of storage .. I have an email service thru my Isp, but I only sent one email with it to activate it...

 

Data recovery does work with that program.. I successfully used that email recovery program to get some email info, for a customer, that a former employee delete before leaving.

It was an outlook PST file..

 

Lemme guess, She said she was legal???

 

I think he'll be getting a visit by someone
