Some other providers, e.g. Zoho, keep sent as well as received messages of POP accounts on the server side, too. I don't know for how long they do so, since I log in regularly, to completely delete those mails. Btw. I also regularly backup all data and even the whole installs on my machine on external HDDs, by rotating the HDDs used for those backups. In the future the OP should consider to find an appropriate backup strategy, too. However, for the moment I suspect that the only solution to get back some of the older mails is very time consuming and very, very annoying, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/File_recovery . File recovery is a PITA to do, but it could be done even by inexperienced computer users, willing to read, it's just absolutely no fun to do it and you unlikely get back all emails. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
