I did not save the mail properly .I just copy pasted. I didn't take a proper backup. Also those mails got deleted from the inbox also.

We won't make a lot of progress this way, unless you provide more substantial information.

Also those mails got deleted from the inbox also.

With copy and paste messages do not disappear. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Disappearing_mail
