When you click “Move to Trash”, the selected message(s) will be moved to the “Trash” folder in Gmail. If you selected messages from the “Trash” folder and clicked the “Delete Forever” button, then they are deleted, forever.
Without direct access to the hard drive(s) that stored your messages, you have no chance of getting them back.
eople have contacted google over the matter and their response is “if its gone from TRASH folder it cant be retrieved”.
I recommend having a desktop email client such as Mozilla Thunderbird
that can locally store plenty of messages for you so that you can free up space on webmail accounts. Gmail hosts 7GB of storage for you, though, which is a lot of email already.
