    Sorry if this sounds a bit patronising, but are they not in your deleted mail folder?

    Do you have anything set up on your phone to receive emails? I tried setting up on my Samsung Galaxy S2 and quite often emails would appear and then just disappear and they were lost unless they'd already downloaded to my computer first. They even got deleted from the server so logging onto the Virgin media website to try to get them they were lost.
    Given I was looking for work and doing applications online this was not good at all and i just deleted the function from my phone because nothing I tried would solve it.

    So what you could do is go onto the website that hosts the mail and see if there is a way to see it on the server.

    Depends if you use POP3 or IMAP on your phone / computer. If you use POP3 then you will have only deleted the emails that were downloaded to your computer.

    Who's your email / service provider? Try accessing it from the web site, rather than a local email app.
