I had deleted all my old emails (even from the Recycle bin)

Is there any way I get them back and put them back into the files they came from

Depends on the email client.

If you are using Outlook Express, you are likely out of luck.

OE writes a new dbx file for each OE folder after the contents are changed. As such, data recovery is near impossible, or at least VERY expensive.

you maybe able to recover them by using a file recovery program , there several available for download but more often than not you have to purchase the full version to recover yopu lost files , if successful in recovering them you can then store them in a location set by you but I dont know if you are able to put them back into your E-Mail client though but at least you can still read the emails , just not from your email client.
