You can retrieve deleted messages from your Trash folder, as long as the trash hasn’t been deleted yet. To retrieve a deleted message, select the Trash folder in the folders pane, select the message or messages you want to retrieve, and drag them to your Inbox or another folder.

Otherwise, Yahoo has a form you can submit to restore such lost messages. However, it says it will not restore messages outside a 24-hour window. Submit this form.

(You'll find more details on this Yahoo page.)

If you haven't yet done so, you should change your Yahoo password at once.
