We are using Thunderbird on multiple Windows devices, plus Apple Mail on iPhones, to access emails. Have just discovered another user has deleted bulk emails, leaving only 2-3 weeks on the server. Business email so we need to retrieve the data.

I have spoken to domain hosts, who advise that a restore can be done from Outlook, but they don't know how to work it from Thunderbird.

Can anyone help with exporting the data? I can still see all the emails from my laptop, but they are gone from both the server's email folders and my PC.

Thank you:-) And I do appreciate people are busy at end of financial year:-)

And... I have had another conversation with domain host and a re-upload is just not possible. My apologies for any time wasted.
