This post is for you if you
- Have accidentally deleted mails and
- Use Google Desktop Search (GDS) and
- Were fortunate or sensible enough or possibly farsighted [:)] to have enabled email caching in GDS and
- Want to retrieve your mails
Andrew Hardwick has written a very simple and useful script for the above task. His script was tested on GDS version 2 (build 20051208-en). Refer to the instructions given on his page to get the details of the script.
I recently needed to do similar task for someone who was using Google Desktop 5.1.0705.04505-en-pb. The above script worked just fine with slight modifications in the regular expressions. I am uploading the modified script in here and a copy of Andrew's Instructions here.
Enjoy !!
