Folder and emails vanished

Hi. I recently moved some important emails from my inbox to a sub folder that I created on the left of my inbox. Before I did this I deleted an old file as I no longer required it. I went into my email a day later and the new file with the emails that I dragged and dropped from my inbox had vanished and the old file that I had deleted had reappeared. I really need to retrieve these emails asap. If there anyway to recall them? Many Thanks. Chris
