Hopefully this teaches you (a) the importance of having backups, and (b) 
to be more careful when you're deleting things.

If you want help undeleting files then you'll need to say what sort of 
filesystem the data is on. Files on ext2 partitions can be recovered 
relatively easily, not so for ext3.

I trust you aren't using the same system for email that the deleted 
files are on? Each write to a disk on that system is potentially 
corrupting the files you're trying to recover.
