Will Recuva help me recover these lost e-mails?

I am really computer dumb, but after no service for 4 days in a row with Frontier, I joined up with Safelink. In establishing an e-mail acount with them, i blindly followed all instructions the tech guy gave me over the phone, one of which was to close down my Frontier e-mail account. Did that but then realized I lost all 150 e-mails I had in my inbox.

My computer is an acer, with Windows 7 and the mail is Windows Live 2011. I just noticed this ad for Recuva when I googled the question if my mail is recoverable and would like to know if this is the way to go. I contacted Frontier before i closed the account on July 5th and talked to a tech guy but he said they had no back ups but he had seen somewhere on google a way to get them back. Thanks

So you use Windows Live Mail and used Frontier as your email provider?

You were able before you left Frontier to open your emails from your desktop after clicking on Windows Live Mail icon?

When you open Windows Live Mail are you saying that your 150 emails in the inbox have gone?

Here is the info on Recuva and emails for you to have a quick read of.

Your emails might be recoverable if you used a POP account, i.e. downloaded the emails to your pc. If you used a web-based email client, i.e. manage your emails through a web browser, then they won't be recoverable. If you suddenly lost 150 emails then it looks like the latter.

I've just run Recuva (I use Win Live Mail with a POP account) and 20 .eml files were found. I have deleted far more than that, so not all are findable. Furthermore all these .eml files have been overwritten so were useless. I suggest that you run Recuva and see what you find.
