Deleted email retrieval help. iPad.

Help...I deleted a very lengthy email response on y iPad just now. How can I find it --- does not show up on drafts. Too, I had tried sending it but it could not be delivered. Does not show up on " sent" either.

TIA

Did you try to "undo" deleting it? If that ever happens again, shake your iPad like you're clearing an etch-a-sketch, and you can undo the delete.

All I can think of now is to make sure you refresh your draft folder (drag down from the top)...hopefully it is just not appearing yet but will if you refresh. Hope this helps!

Click on 'all mail' and look for it.

Checked all the trash bins, did a drop down search, shook the iPad --- all to no avail. I guess I have to bite the bullet and retype everything. Thanks for the suggestions.

What mail program are you using on your iPad?

I use Yahoo, and when I've accidently deleted emails they can restore them within a short time frame. Not sure about other email services.

Do you have an "outgoing" folder? I sometimes find things there.
