I deleted emails on my iphone and it deleted emails on my macbook air... how do I get them back?\

I deleted emails on my iPhone and it deleted all emails on my MacBook air. I did not want it to delete those same emails from my computer. How do I get them back?

If you have syncing/iCloud enabled, then whatever you do on one device will also automatically happen on the other.


Do you still have them on the website of your online email provider? If so, just download them again. If not, they are gone unlessyou hav a backup. If you do not want to sync, disable it in iCloud settings. That way they will remain separate.
