How to recover emails from a closed server

Question

I have an old email account on Altern.org. Unfortunately, the server had been closed and I didn't succeed to contact the moderator to retrieve my emails. Is there any archive server (as web.archive.org) to recover my old emails.

Answer 1

If the email service has ended and you have no way to contact the company that ran it, then you will have no ability to access your old email. Email is not like public websites, which are available to everyone - including archival robots. No one would want their mail crawled and posted online for other people to see. Unfortunately, unless you can get ahold of the administrators of the email server/company, the email is gone.
