Hello:

I use Pegasus Mail Version 4.73.639, Mar 30 2018, build ID 639, running with Wine-4.0 under Linux Devuan 5.10. The box runs automated backups with the BackInTime application.

Everything is as it should be. ie: in all the years I have been using it, PMail has never skipped a beat. Ever.

But I now have a problem:

I need to find an email (from a bank, from all possible places) which I deleted a couple of months ago thinking the issue that prompted it had been definitely solved.

Nothing but wishful thinking, obviously bad judgement on my behalf.

But I digress.

I keep deleted emails for around 45/60 days and then clear out the folder but now, quite unexpectedly, I need data I no longer have.

The thing is that I have it but it is in my PMail backup files.

I can manage with the just raw text as what I need are just the numbers assigned to the complaints I sent the bank, which they (of course) claim they don't have.

I'd appreciate some guidance to get the text from the backups.
The emails should be in the New Mail or Deleted Messages folders.

Thanks in advance.

Best,

S.
