Hi, i'm just finish syncronizing the files from the old mail server (A) to new mail server (B). Only today i found out for the new server all of the new incoming email was deleted by default after finished the mirroring process which is only the old email copied from A to B. I just figure out the mirror process got option for new location the file will be deleted after the process.

My question is how to get back the accidentally file due to it was crucial for us to check the important data from the email. Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks and regard

This depends on what you have set up as deletion handling:
- Recycle Bin: The deleted files should be there, unless they were flushed out by newer files that were moved to the bin
- Permanent: For very important files it may be worthwhile to try to recover them using a file undeletion tool. Depending on whether the physical memory blocks on the hard drive have been overwritten in the meantime, it's possible to partially or maybe even fully restore some of the files.
