Hello to all!

I use hosting online for which I pay for Cpanel, and the webmail is roundcube. We are also using Outlook Desktop Windows App.

Due to a problem, I need to retreive all emails that were transiting on my accounts so I can communicate the issue with them. However, after several hours of research, I can't find how to get a list of all emails.

I'd be grateful for any advice at all.

Thank you

Too little info to give much of a response, but I'd grep the mail server log.

Hi! What informations would be missing? :)

It seems you want a list of email addresses, at least, but don't have the emails themselves, correct? If so, do you have access to the mail server? If so, what operating system, what mail service, do you have access to the logs?

For example, I run my own mail server. If I lost my emails, using the logs, I could extract the sender's address and the address (actual or alias) the sender sent to.
