Discussion Retrieving old deleted Yahoo emails.

[Eamonn100]

Hello,

I need to get old emails that I deleted from my Yahoo email account. These are from 2 years ago. Is there anyway I can search my PC for old "opened emails" or something like that? Somewhere where they are logged/recorded?

Recently I used "PhotoRec" to find some deleted files on my PC... so was wondering if something can be done for emails at have been removed from an account.

Thanks.

Not unless you use dedicated E-mail client which saves them separately and even then, if they were deleted from disk, after 2 years space on disk is most likely overwritten.
If used thru browser, all mail is on their server it's deleted forever. If net deleted from their server it can be considered as breach of privacy.

"If net deleted from their server it can be considered as breach of privacy."

Can you elaborate on this? What's "Net"?

Well I would say I have only ever used my email through Google internet.

Google internet ??? Or did you mean Gmail ? What does it have to do anything with Yahoo ?

Sorry, I mean that I used my emails with a browser.

Then those email messages are long gone. They reside solely on the server and are subject to the rules of the server. Yahoo permanently deletes deleted mail after no more than 30 days.
