February 18, 2012 at 13:53We recover the deleted mail on mail.ru (and others)
Attention!
If you found this page from a search engine and you do not have a saved copy of all letters, or if you have never used the mail program, but only the mail.ru web interface, it is impossible to restore mail! Please do not email me.
Hello!
Have you ever observed an empty mailbox after you configured your mail client through pop3 and forgot to check the box “keep mail on the server”? It happened to me.
So, you have mail in the mail client, there is no mail on the server. Everything would be fine, the letters themselves were preserved, but the mail on the server was very necessary, and I began to think.
Naturally, there were no letters in the basket. I found an entry in the FAQ, which said that it is impossible to recover letters deleted in this way.
Did not work. And, I think, over time, letters could not be done. Perhaps this option will work somewhere.
And then I remember about ...
Mail.ru, and other mail services, has a function of picking up mail from your other mailboxes. Since we have mail in the mail client, I found the folder where the letters are stored (in eml format), picked up the pop3 server (used Small HTTP Server, configured in a minute), pointed the server to the folder with letters, tried to pick it up with the mail client. Unfortunately, I have not received a single letter. Raised smtp server, sent an email. In order for my pop3 server to send an email, it was necessary to remove the leading zero from the file name and remove the extension. I did this with all the files and told mail.ru to pick up all the letters from my server.
An hour later, all letters were on the server as they were before the deletion (only all were "unread").
I hope this is useful to someone.

Option 1: Check the basket on mail.ru
Naturally, there were no letters in the basket. I found an entry in the FAQ, which said that it is impossible to recover letters deleted in this way.
Option 2: send mail to yourself via smtp with fake headers
Did not work. And, I think, over time, letters could not be done. Perhaps this option will work somewhere.
