Re: How to restore my mail?
Kyle [20.Mär.2009 03:03]:
BUT when you booted your machine, your operating system automatically
deleted the contents of /tmp. This is considered a security feature,
as well as simply good housekeeping. IF you had $TMP or $tmpdir
pointed elsewhere, such as ~/.tmp/ or something similar, then your
mail will still be there, in a file beginning with "mutt-". IF your
editor keeps draft files somewhere other than the same directory as
the file being edited (i.e. someplace that wasn't in /tmp), you may be
able to recover it that way too.
Don't forget /var/temp, althought that might just be a smylink to /tmp
(I am not that familiar with Debian).
Unless you specify a different temp-name, as Kyle said, try using
something like
grep -r mutt- /{var,tmp,home}
