[X-Unix] undeleting mail.app accounts?

[Kuestner, Bjoern]

If the backup is too old then try ProSoft's DataRescue to recover the
deleted files.

Don't work with the Mac until you have tried it.

There's a free test version of DataRescue that will recover one file, I
think, and it will also tell you what other files the registered version can
recover from your drive.

I have read nothing but praises for DataRescue in such cases.

But once more: Don't work with the Mac so that the removed files are not
overwritten on disk!
