| 1431737 | 2017-02-09 01:46:00 | How is the mail set up, POP or IMAP ? If its IMAP when mail syncs with other devises when removed from one device it will remove from others as well. If POP it should stay on the computer but will delete from the server if its selected, by default its 14 days. Check your mail settings, open Outlook, File / Account settings / Account Settings (again) / Select Account/ Change /More Settings / Advanced Tab -- See what its set to do. You can also get to the settings, by Control Panel / Mail / Email Account / Select account ------------------> |

| 1431738 | 2017-02-09 03:07:00 | I'm guessing its IMAP :) Outlook can be buggy as all hell with imap There may be a sync setting where Outlook will actually hide(not display) email for ~x~ reason Ive seen Outlook/imap auto-hide emails . They seemed deleted by were hidden (hidden from view) could also be a imap sync issue between the server & Outlook . If its IMAP, log on via webmail and see whats there. |
