Ever since I found out about my H's EA I wanted to recover the emails he deleted. I'm not very computer savvy so when I mentioned buying a recovery programme to my H and he reacted very anti, I would leave the topic. But it's still bugging me after 7 months since Dday. I have read some of the deleted emails through our time machine back up. He sometimes forgot to delete his sent emails from his sent box which are the ones captured in the back up but there are months of gaps and I know I haven't read the bulk of the emails.

What are the chances of recovering any emails after 3 years? The time machine is nearly full and if I want to recover any emails, I have to act soon.

Has anyone tried this? We have a mac computer.

Any advise appreciated.
