Hello,

I was locked out of my Google account by my previous employer. I can access the old e-mails through Thunderbird but I was moving some of the emails into different folders before I realized that when I check on those folders, the e-mails I moved no longer are there.

At the bottom of the screen, it still lists the number of e-mails in the folders and it includes the ones I moved but I can't see the ones I moved within the last couple of days. Is there something I can do to be able to retrieve those e-mails?

Thanks

I'm not saying you are wrong; I am only responding to what you requested. Right or wrong, you have been denied access to those messages. Helping you makes us accessories.

Since your employer locked you out of that account, I think it would be imprudent for us to assist in retrieving messages that you are no longer authorized to read.

Um, I didn’t want to post the drama, David. But the employer that locked me out was the non-profit group I started. Their board, board members I helped select, fired me with no explanation and I am trying to get access to these emails to show that their decision was actually illegal. If you don’t want to help, fine but please don’t prejudge the situation.
