I found about my wife's A by reading her emails on a secret account. I printed out the offending ones, then confronted her with them. In our subsequent discussions, she asked me for the emails back and I stupidly agreed.

She has since deleted the emails, I don't know what she did with the prints. She accesses this account through the Yahoo Mail web page, not through Outlook. Is there a way to get these back? Does the computer store the print files for awhile and is there a way to get them that way?

Thank you.

When my wife had her affair, she was stupid and just deleted her inbox. It still contained all the files she sent in the sent mail folder. I wonder if your WW has foolishly done the same.

Oh, and if you do find them, forward them to a safe account that she cannot access. Also, it is time to install a keylogger/spying program on your computer. A lot of people here recommend SpectorPro.

Maybe in your history files, but I doubt it. Depending on your OS, you may or may not be able to access them with a program like Norton. Since you printed them, they will exist on your computer until they are written over in the normal course of using it, which has probably happened more than once in that sector of the hard drive.

Install a keylogger, NOW!

Now it is that there are a couple of companies that can restore files/data from your hard drive but you are talking thousands of dollars.

And there is no guarantee that the data you are looking for can be restored since it was Yahoo. I assure you that Yahoo no longer has the data in a form they would willingly produce for you, except that they might be able to get it under court order as I think they save some email data for a while due to a recent law.
