How to get back the deleted Gmail Messages

This is often a situation when your Emails get deleted accidentally. This action could sometime happen unwillingly but some time it may be due to a purpose. It may be done by an ex-girlfriend, colleague or friend who somehow managed to gain access to your Gmail account. The other possibility may be a successful hacking attempt and a hacker who likes to be destructive, or a service provider issue.
Whatever the reason is the point to discuss is if emails get deleted which you still needed then you need a way to get them back. For the purpose I am advising you to create regular Gmail backups you can access the deleted emails right from within the program’s interface. This guide parenthetically explains how to backup emails from different providers including Hotmail.
The folks who have no mail backups still may have a chance to restore their deleted Gmail messages, if the following requirements are met:
  • Mails have not been deleted from the Gmail trash
  • Less than 30 days have passed since the deletion
