Hello,

For some unknown reason my mails got deleted while using neomail.

Is there any way to access any sort of logs to recover those mail from the server ?

Many thanks for your help

If they're not in the spool at /home/spool/mail/username, they're gone forever. Though you could always look in the neomail-trash folder in neomail, just to be safe.

While you might have lost your messages, you can do a search through the mail log to see WHO sent you mail so you can follow up. As root, issue:

cat /var/log/maillog | grep username

obviously, replace username as appropriate. That will show you what mails were delivered.

HTH,

Brandon
