Hi
Is there anyway of recovering items that have been deleted by "emptying"
KMail's trash folder?
I suspect not, and certainly the KMail manual suggests that once it's
gone, it's gone. However, ever hopeful, I thought that someone here may
have a trick or two up their sleeve.
If you're a typical home desktop user and KMail acts like
Tbird/Nutscrape/Evo then all of a folder's emails are stored in 1
mbox file.
When you compress that file (i.e., empty the folder), the MUA copies
the "active" messages into a new mbox file, unlinks the old mbox
file and then renames the new mbox file to the old name.
So, if you dismounted that partition *very* soon afterwards (to
prevent anything else from possibly overwriting that area of disk,
then it's possible to recover that file using tools others have
mentioned.
