Permanently Deleted Emails---any chance of restoring?

I deleted some storage important (to me) folders containing emails inadvertently permanently deleted. I know that the "trash folder" is capable of 10,000 gigs of information, and it's held there for 30 days or so, and the "trash folder" can restore emails you deleted. I get that, but I couldn't leave it alone, so I permanently deleted the needed emails (oh God). I recognized my error just Friday (10/18/2024) and deleted the folders on October 11, 2024. I would like to restore the emails to their original status. Will the Community and Xfinity support technical individuals help me, please?

If the messages aren't in the Trash folder at https://connect.xfinity.com/, try the Recovery process described in https://connect.xfinity.com/appsuite/apps/faq/index.html#recoverEmail. The folders that were deleted won't be found there, but the emails they contained should be.

Hey there, @user_63d514. Our resident problem solver @BruceW provided the best way to recover emails from our self-service option. Were you able to locate the delete emails by chance?

We have a chance to potentially recover them from our end. If you could please send me a with your first and last name along with your full-service address, we can get started.

To send a "Direct Message" to Xfinity Support:

Click "Sign In" if necessary

Click the "Direct Messaging" icon or https://comca.st/3EqVMu7

Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there

- As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list

- An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line

Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

Press Enter to send it

See https://comca.st/3KQF8q9 for an example.
