Solved! Recovering permanently deleted emails in iCloud

[dublin123]

Is there any way to do this? The emails I require are from over 30 days ago, so the usual methods suggested are no good.

"permanently deleted"

If you can recover them that is not so permanent.

You can try contacting Apple support.

Apple support are a complete waste of time in my experience.

That may be but since iCould is run by them, they are the only ones that may be able to recover anything, especially since the files are "permanently" deleted. Unless you can find someone else that can connect to their data center and find your data, Apple support is all you can use. In my experience files that are permanently deleted don't have backups done on them so if you delete them, they are gone unless copied to somewhere else.

Well, that's not good. It sounds as though Apple are in blatant breach of the Data Protection legislation.

Did you previously delete the messages? If so, how is this a violation on Apple's part?

You should consider keeping local copies of messages rather than relying on your email provider to do for you if you want to retain them indefinitely.

I think you might want to take a look at the legals.

I want to know more.

Good for you, a quest for knowledge.

By hook, or by crook, I will get my emails back. And that's all you need to know for now.

Good luck with that. Imho if you chose to delete then you are sol.

 

[dublin123]

'Sol?' Try it in English.

 

[bignastyid]

It is English. SOL= Sorely out of luck

 

[dublin123]

No, it's not English, it's a weird acronym.

As I said, I'll get my emails back, by hook or by crook.

Not if they no longer exist, which is a good possibility.

And I'm the one using a weird acronym.

Oh I thought you know what legal thing you were talking about, so you can share with us
