jamiep 0 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I recently had my laptop stolen and had the Windows Evernote desktop application installed. I think the person who stole my laptop continued using my evernote account and deleted all my notes. I already contacted Evernote about this with no response. Does anyone know if Evernote backs up users' information (notes) and if so, is that retrievable? Link to comment
engberg 89 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Premium users will receive a reply from Support within one business day, but Free accounts may take a bit longer, especially at the beginning of the week. (If a Free user submits an inquiry on Friday night, then they probably won't receive a reply until Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on overall volume.)Do you have any old copies of your account on any other computers? I.e. did you also synchronize to a desktop computer or anything like that? If so, the database file on that computer may still contain your deleted notes.If someone accesses your account to delete your notes and empty the Trash, we'll remove the data from our servers for privacy reasons.

It is cheap insurance. Link to comment
