Can I recover emails from a backup?
25/02/21 Filed in: time machine | Backup
Quick question. I'm wondering if it's possible to pull up deleted emails from 2018. Any chance those would be on my hard drive? Also deleted texts, but I know those are harder to get I'm sure.

If you have a time machine backup dating back to the approximate time you think those emails existed then there’s a good chance we could restore them. To check to see if time machine currently includes that range open the hard drive in a finder window then:
Select the folder called Backups.backupdb
Next select the name of your computer ex: “John's iMac”
Next select Macintosh HD
From there, you’ll hopefully see a long range of backup folders with dates ex: 2.21.2018 etc…
If you are able to see some backups in the range you are thinking about then chances are good we can recover those emails.
