I accidently deleted a e-mail account Please help

Hello,

I did have some problems with my main e-mail account and the provider helpdesk told me to delete the account and reinstall it, what I did

I throught I did have a back-up....but no

When finished all my folders and the e-mails in them where gone.

I did reinstall the e-mailaccount and that works now fine

Because I did go from Outlook Express to Live mail approx 2 months ago I did find the old messages back.

But is there a way that I get back my missing folders/e-mails from yesterday till that I changed to Live Mail.

Hope someone can help me, thanks in advance

Regards,

Pieter

Sorry, unless you used the option to keep a copy of messages
on the server, those missing emails are gone for good. Did you
look on the server by using webmail access via your browser?

Note that WLM does warn you that deleting a POP account will
delete all associated folders and emails, but the warning is in
small print and is easily overlooked when you're in a hurry. In
my opinion, this is a bad design flaw. WLM should automatically
move the associated folders to the Storage folders when deleting
a POP account.
