Lost inbox msgs when switching provider

Hi, I lost all the messages sitting in my inbox when I switched providers from Telus to Shaw. I'm using Mail 1.3.11 ( I dunno, is that the same as the 3.1 others here refer to?) on an iMac G4 running OSX 10.3.9. I tried talking to support at Telus to see if they had the messages on their server but they said that when I deleted my account with them, everything went, but that given that I was using a Mac I should be able to find them in cache or get help from a Mac users forum. I am a bit of an ignoramus when it comes to my Mac and have had no luck finding the lost mail. So, to be specific, I lost ONLY the inbox messages, everything that I had moved to another folder was retained. There was some stuff that I need in there, so any help you can give me would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

What kind of email account did you have? IMAP or Pop?

If it was Pop the saved email is kept folders/files in /YourHardDrive/Users/YourUserName/Mail/. If it was IMAP the email was saved on the server and you are out of luck.
