How do I recover an email Folder I just deleted?

How do I recover a folder that I created for emails. I accidentally deleted a folder that had many subfolders within it that I did not want to delete?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

No. iCloud does not backup email.


If you deleted a mailbox, it will no longer be on the server of the email account. Depending on your mail client, you may still have recovery options. For example, my work exchange account sequesters deleted items for a short time on the company server so items could be recovered if accidentally deleted. I'm not sure if that would apply in your case. To my knowledge, there is no way to recover those items, but someone else might have an idea.
