Hi everyone,

Is it possible to recover/backup/forward my downloaded emails that are on my iPhone? The issue is I cannot actually access the account anymore as it has now been deactivated since graduating from university.

Any help will be great as there are a lot of emails I would lose.

Thanks :)
 
Thanks for your response :)

I would but there are 4 years worth of emails so I was hoping there would be an easier method. I assumed there might be a way to extract them from a backup but I think someone would have suggested that if there was :(

Can you "Move" a single message in that account to a folder in another account?

Thanks for your response.

I have now realised that it is possible to move between different email accounts by pressing back to view all of your accounts (once you have pressed move). However when I try to do this an error message comes up saying 'Unable to move.'.

:(
 
The ridiculous thing is in order to move the email I think it needs some sort of internet connection as oppose to just moving through the OS.

Is that correct?
 
Sounds about right.. You say they may be on a backup. Have you ever used ibackup bot?

Perhaps someone that's used it could advise?

The iOS client probably requires a response from both accounts to complete the move.

Was the account Exchange, IMAP or POP?
 
Thanks for the responses guys.

The account is a Gmail account I really hope there is a way!
 
Think I might have to give up on this. The only option I can see is copying the contents out of each email.

Cannot believe it is coming down to this!!

Using iFunbox to browse the filesystem on the iPhone and access the Mail folder.

I think 8.3 has disabled that or something now from what I have read. I have tried it and can't seem to be able to find the emails either :(

Thanks though!
