Evidently he had not paid for his hosting and wildwestdomains were deleting it. To recover my email address it deleted all emails from 2013 till present. I really would like to recover the emails, several were very important. Can you help

re :To recover my email address it deleted all emails from 2013 till present.

This sounds like you got a new host for website using same email address, but perhaps different server settings. It also sounds like you are talking about an imap mail account.

Q: Did you by any chance simply alter the Account Settings > Server Settings for that email address?

If yes: Imap mail accounts show a remote view of what is on the server. If you have changed the server settings then you have chosen to look at an entirely different server which does not have your old emails.

Do you have a backup of your profile name folder ?
