Tuning in

Since VM updated the email a short time ago, I cannot access old emails from pre 2012  

I always used my emails to keep files safe, 

there-are a couple of emails I need to access because of an old complaint. Is there any way of doing this?

I am annoyed that VM did not let anyone know this would happen.

Was not aware of any recent updates. Do you know what these were?

try the following to located the missing emails in webmail:

In webmail make sure all folders are subscribed to by:

  1. select ⚙ > Settings > ▸ Email > Change IMAP subscriptions
  2. select  to expand folder views until all are visible
  3. confirm that all are folders are selected ()
  4. select Email (located top left) and then press Ctrl + Shift + R to refresh page
  5. check those folders selected in step 4 for the missing emails; in particular [Gmail] folder

If the emails still cannot be located then regrettably they are unrecoverable.
