Anything completely outside your control ought not to be viewed as a problem. A circumstance, reality, boundary condition... yes. But not a problem.
Purchasing cryptocurrency, deleting the only copy of the wallet a year later, then posting on a forum two years ago that "please give me back all this money"? If this was outside OP's control, what in the world is inside it?
You are in awfully good spirits for someone who may have lost $400k. In 1999 I passed on an opportunity to buy a working Apple I for $10k.
Although this fail is a bit expensive, I'm optimistic that more opportunities will come.

Back around the summer of 2010 I decided to play around a little bit with Bitcoin mining while I was looking for a job after college. For a couple of weeks I let the computer mine and accumulated what amounted to pocket change, then gave up and forgot about it. I've spent many hours over the past year or so digging through old burned backup CDs, DVDs, and hard drives trying to find the wallet, with no luck so far. Ma…
If it makes you feel better, unless you had a good GPU, what you earned might not have been worth more than a few thousand dollars (at current BTC prices). Though the difficulty was certainly much less in 2010, so who knows.
In early 2010 it would still have been CPU mining. I couldn't find exactly when GPU mining started, but it wasn't available at first.
There were no mining pools yet either, so if he successfully mined any blocks he got a full 50 BTC each time, or over $100,000 per block.
So he should probably keep looking for his old file.

Yup, I bought a ETH & $6 late last year during the spam attacks and panick sold at $15-$12 Early this year. Now the pice is $200+ per ETH Now I am looking foward to RChain https://www.rchain.coop

What about contacting Ethereum Foundation? They must have that mail.
Maybe they don't have the key but prove that they sent you a key. then maybe your lawyer will be able to force a hardfork. In which case you'd get killed by the community; which is worth it.

This was so painful to read. I mean.. just.. ouch! I really hope you find a way to get it back. Some lessons in life are really valuable even when they sting. This one is just kind of cruel, ha.
You'll find grave yards of people that panick sold during the Mt Gox meltdown. There was this one guy who dropped his entire life savings on bitcoin when it was $850 and then sold at $350. I think the math turned out to be in the multiple millions had he held the same amount today.
