Yesterday early morning (like today, before I go to work) I checked my emails. Came home and my inbox is empty, except for the few I got when I was gone. Also a seperate inbox folder I had is gone. FOUND them both in the trashbin, date was for about the same time I was on the computer that morning. Clicked "restore" and nothing happened. I may have shut off the power bar (which is easy to get to so I shut the power bar off alot) BEFORE the computer was done shutting down, not sure, I know I have done this accidentally before with no problem, but I try not to. How the heck can I get them back? Why didn't "restore" work?? They're not in my trashbin (recycle bin, sorry) now.

I had the same problem before when my PC was infected by virus. Do you have antivirus software installed?
I was unfortunate that all the emails lost cannot be restore :(
Would like to know what is the action steps needed to restore emails in this scenario though.

The only option is that they could be in the trash, if they are no there then they have gone forever, emails are no stored in your PC but in the Server, so, once you hit delete they go to the trash bin momentarily and later the server automatically clean up its database.
