ask your hosting provider to restore your domain files prior to your deleting the ac.
then reconnect via POP3 and download all emails to local outlook .pst file
IMAP only fetches email headers which is more practical for phones with limited connectivity that's why you are in a pickle.
if your host doesn't do regular backups then restore is not possible
