Restore settings / lost all emails

I recently bought a new iPhone 6. My old iPhone 5 is perfectly fine, so I decided that I would give it to my son. I'm mainly the iphone 6 because I got the free update and he wanted additional storage (former did 16gig, a new to 32).  The old pick up still Wifi, so as soon as I turned it on a whole bunch of my emails came pour... and there also all my music and pictures etc on this subject. I wanted to have a clean slate, so that it is actually HER phone, instead of feeling like you're borrowing the phone of your dad, so I clicked on "restore settings" on the old iPhone.  My idea was that I would rub the old phone of all my music, photos, emails, whatsapp and facebook messenger messages etc.  I had planned on setting up as a new iPhone.  What I didn't count was that he would have ALL my scrub emails entirely, on all my other devices!  ***?? I went from 10,000 emails to 0 on my iMac computer, as well as on my new iPhone 6. Disaster!  Somehow, I was able to find 700 - odd messages in the trash folder and was able to bring the messages dating back to November 2015, which is great, but all the messages that I have that date back to 2005 are all gone.  Now, you might think ' well, what do you want to? ", but some of them are important emails that I sometimes referred to, some of them are important from a point of view of historical database (being able to refer to what someone said or did 8 or 9 years ago), some of it is the proof/evidence and also it is a bit of nostalgia involved (such as the emails from people who are no longer about discussions 10 years ago which may have sentimental value).  It's obviously not life or death, but it just strikes me as very strange that you can so easily (and unintentionally) lose 10,000 stored emails!

Is it possible to undo that, or retrieve my emails? None of these emails would be in some deep hidden cache or somewhere on the computer (in the Finder?)

I see no reason for whatever why reset settings would remove the emails. I have reset the settings several times on a couple of devices and nothing lost at all except for the settings on each device. However, you use the terminology restore settings, and there is no such thing on the phone. Maybe erase you content and settings. If that were the case it should still not delete emails on other devices. Which simply clears the device itself.

If your e-mail account is IMAP, whatever you do on a device is to reflect on all devices. In other words if you delete an email on one device, it is removed from everywhere. If you account is POP, it should only affect the decision that you are currently using. I have a POP account and I can delete an email on the phone and it will always be on my Mac.

Lengthy explanation, but my question is did you somehow delete emails by mistake? They should not have disappeared from your Mac if simply delete you the phone.

You can take a look at this as well.

    Thanks in advance.

    First of all, please note that what you were doing was * not * a system restore. System Restore is a * Windows * function restores Windows and has nothing to do with your files.

    What you were doing was the recovery of the system provided by the manufacturer of your computer. That puts shaped windows in car and renstalls hard on it. You probably can't get your files back.

    Allow me to mention something else. Your question indicates that you do not have a regular backup of your important files. If this is the case, you are playing with fire. Even if you never make a system recovery, it is always possible that a hard disk crash, the user error, close to love at first sight, virus attack, even stolen computer, can result in the loss of everything on your drive. As it has often been said, it is not a question of whether you will have a problem, but when.

  • Smartphones blackBerry lost all emails &amp; SMS after change of date

    After that I updated my BB Bold 9000 date 6 July 2015 , I lost all received emails and text messages. It is amazing that this can happen without any warning. This certainly isn't the first time that I am losing all my data. It's so frustrating that I am strongly considering leaving BlackBerry and switch to another brand.

    An assistance service, you can call and talk to a real person also seems to be not implemented to BlackBerry. Maybe they hate costomers?

    Your comments are welcome.

    You have a backup of the device, you need to do at least once a week?

    My last backup is June 25, so fairly new

    Let me know.

    I am mainly interested to recover SMS lost - are. I have seen that it is possible to use back pointing up. How to recover SMS throughy this method? I don't see TEXT in the list.

    Connect your BlackBerry to your PC via the USB cable.

    Open Desktop Manager > backup/restore > advanced.

    In the right pane, you will see your device data, in the left window, you will see your backup data. Do scroll through SMS messages and see if there's something there.

    IF you do not see the backup data in the page on the left, above the pane, you choose file > open and navigate to your specified IPD backup file and open it.

    In the left pane, navigate to the SMS database and highlight the

    Click on the RIGHT facing arrow in the clear of the screen to move the data to the device.

    Follow the remaining prompts to complete the process.

    Key. Don't come here to criticize the volunteers very well here, either. Check my 26 000 posts here and see how understanding I have for frustrated users. I have very little understanding for rudeness.

    Karim says:

    I can count tens of thousands of users who have been helped here.

    It is excellent for those thousands, but is not strange is that a device needs a forum where thousands of users need to go to get help because they are lost or frustrated. The best provider is a provider that does not need a helpdesk because everything is clear. This seems to be impossible these days 

    Of course, it is not strange that there is a forum like this. You have quite a learning curve high on BlackBerry, and you have users. Combine the two and you have gobs of questions.

    It is if you have a BlackBerry with Vodafone BIS data Plan. How do I know this?

    Call your carrier and you ask if you have the BlackBerry BIS data Plan. They will know. It should be on your billing, as well.

    Restoring to factory settings formats the disc, and which erases
    everything what he. You probably get something new, but you can
    try to do a search on the web for a recovery program that unformats the reader
    like here: http://www.easeus.com/resource/unformat.htm

    If you unformat the drive successfully and can recover lost files
    back, the first thing you should do copy on an external
    (CD, DVD, USB sticks, external hard drives, etc.).
    Two other points/questions:

    1. why restore you to the factory settings? This is usually the worst
    approach to solve a problem, there's a lot of extra long hard
    work and often leads to problems of its own (as it did here).

    2. I assume you have no backup on external media from your
    photos of important files etc. In this case. you played with
    the fire. You can read this article on the backup that I wrote:

  • Removed the POP account trying to pass to the imap server and lost all emails, thought I was just delete settings, they are recoverable?

    In the support section, explains that when that you delete the POP account you must move the files of electronic mail to the local folder before deleting because if you do not, this process is not easily reversible. So I hope someone can help this fool who does not do and that I can somehow retrieve old emails, because it implied that they cannot be definitely missing still.

  • Desperate! lost all emails

    Hi, can someone please help me. I made a new configuration on my laptop after various problems and when I put everything back on the laptop computer including thunderbird all my email disappeared. I put up as a POP3 mailbox. I have not deleted my mail and I'm desperate to get it back on the server there are two years worth of important emails. I tried various things, but cannot find them. I wasn't expecting that windows would have left a set of old files from my original installation, but I can't find that either. I had hoped that all my old mails were originally TB program somewhere.

    Any help greatly accepted.

    Lisa

    You said that you "made a new configuration on my laptop. Does this mean that you started from scratch, or just reloaded Thunderbird?

    If you don't recharge your Windows system, there is a possibility that you have more than one profile of Thunderbird. Look at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_how-to-find-your-profile and then look in the same directory using File Explorer to see if there is another * file *.default.

    If so, see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-multiple-profiles to switch to the other profile.

    In addition, if your email provider has to a webmail (such as mail.google.com) interface, look there to see if your email is always there.
