Help Thunderbolt email issue

[miss techie]

Hi,
I have an unrooted Thunderbolt and am using the basic email program that came with the phone. Today I accidentally deleted some emails. I went into the trash folder, moved them back to the inbox and they only appeared there for less than 5 seconds. I cannot find them anywhere now!!! Any suggestions as to where they might be? THere are important dates I need.
Thanks in advance.

When you mean "basic email program" I hope you mean, Gmail. This is what I'm going off of. If you're using a different email setup then it's another story.

Just select your Gmail app, select lables and then go to, "All Mail". You should see your deleted emails from there. I suspect that when you "moved" them back to your inbox, you didn't also check the deleted box on the email as well. Or, you could have archived the emails, which is why they're in the "All Mail" folder. Also, you may wanna try using the search function as well. If you know of a specific word, type it in and then let Gmail do the search for that message....

Hope this helps and welcome to the forums!
