[Hidden-tech] I did a dumb thing - recover email from iPad

[Stacy Kontrabecki]

Matthew: No  backup of emails via iPad.

Shel: I may set up via gmail in the future like my other emails.

Jeff: Domain expired over 2 months ago so the server purged the old 
files. This is the first time I've lapsed in renewing a domain - ever! 
There is no website associated with it and the user does not access his 
email but every few months, so it is not usually on my radar.

Noel: Not using Apple Mail.

Looks like it is not an issue to the user that the emails are not 
recoverable. Thank god. I think I'll run it through gmail in the future, 
but I don't think this scenario will come up again. If it does, I know 
what to do differently now, before I re-set the password on the old iPad 
configuration.

Thanks for everything.

Stacy
