Hi. I had a virus and since getting rid of it I have lost all my emails. This includes saved ones, unopened and opened and many I really wanted to keep. Can anyone tell me if they can be retreived and what is the easiest way to do this. Thanks

The first question is how did you lost them? (Did the virus delete them or you have removed the files when cleaning your computer?)
Recovering a removed file (not in recycle bin) is almost impossible if your computer had been working for a long time since the deletion took place. In any case, recovering is hard and you will have to pay a lot for it.
The best recovery tool is restoring a back up, if you have one.

What application do you use to retrieve your E-mails from the internet? Since most applications store E-mails in special folders, knowing which you are using might help someone to suggest where these files are located; at the very least you could see whether they were still on your hard drive and proceed from there.
Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one should be silent.
