Good evening. Could someone please help with the following problem: I accidentally deleted all the mail from my inbox in my Gmail account on my smart phone. It also does not show on my computer and is not in the trash folder. Does anyone know if or how this mail can be recovered? I would be appreciative of any help. Thank you.

If Gmail has not deleted the messages from the server, you can recover deleted emails after deleting them from your trash folder. You must open your Gmail then click the drop down grey arrow on the left from your search box at the top of the screen. It will then ask you several question such as to: or from, subject, key words or date within. Click on the blue search button on the bottom left of the search box and all of your deleted emails should be revealed.
If you still can’t recover you mails, these links will provide further help
