Is It Possible To Recover Text Of An Ad Which Was Posted 3+ Years Ago?

If a User ID # was created, is it possible to recover e-mail info re respondents to the ad? If the Craigslist ad was posted w/o an account, can ad text and respondent info be recovered from 3 years ago? Thank you.

craigslist ads are only online for 45 days. After that they are deleted and taken off the servers at Craigslist. There is no way to find that text at this point unless you cut and pasted it into your own computer at the time.
