This doesn't happen to any of my other (POP or Exchange) email accounts, only this one. I have done extensive troubleshooting with the folks at GoDaddy but we have not been able to find a single setting that could be causing this. They are now also missing from my phone and web server (where they had been until opening outlook) because all three of these locations are in sync (the whole point of switching to IMAP).Īutoarchive is OFF, and there seem to be no settings anywhere that tell Outlook to delete messages older than 14 days. A minute after I had come home, started up my computer, and connected with outlook, the emails older than 14 days were missing.
