I accidentally deleted and trashed a subfolder in local folder containing my special bulk mails.

These files do appear without attachment on search as they are stored in "global-messsages-db". It would be cubersome to recover these emails one by one . The same script that enables them to be viewed on "search" may be used to recover them. 

A tool is certainly needed to serve this purpose.

No. It only has string fragments. Not whole messages
