Can deleted Gmail emails be permanently restored using data recovery software?

How about using any data recovery product to get back deleted emails from a Gmail account? Unfortunately, data recovery software won't help you retrieve deleted emails from Gmail, Thunderbird, or any other email app, let alone permanently deleted ones. Here's why:

1. E-mail is not files; it's stored in e-mail database files.

Data recovery software can only scan and find lost files that were saved on your computer's internal hard drive or storage device.

Deleting an e-mail changes only the contents of the database file.

It's like editing a Word document, where you take out a few letters or a line, and you save the changes, but the document itself remains and is not lost.

Data-recovery software cannot retrieve deleted e-mails from a database file.

As far as we know, no data-recovery software can retrieve deleted e-mails from an existing database file.
