I asked my wife if she could look at some unread emails and sort out some emails in a particular folder.
We use three gmail accounts and sync all three to several desktops (including a Mac 10.9.2) and other devices.
Upon my return home she was giggling about the fact that she'd accidentally moved everything to the trash. All that remain are the emails in the bin which are younger than 30 days.
Fortunately we use Time Machine on the Mac. I am trying to restore Mac Mail to a time shortly before her actions in the hope they will upload back onto Gmail.
Have tried it once, restoring the folder called V2 under ~/Library/Mail and a large number of files were copied from the external hard drive, but they didn't seem to make it back into Mail and logging into the accounts direct to gmail confirms nothing has been restored. Can anyone give me some pointers; I must be able to do this somehow?
Thanks, Richard
