[QUOTE="S.SubZero, post: 1641730, member: 51635"] Chances are you set up Outlook with POP3 and you have it set to delete messages from the server when they are downloaded. You'll want to change this to IMAP, but everything in your inbox is now kind of in limbo. I don't remember how one would move everything back to the server. POP3 was a thing back in the early days when mail providers didn't have a ton of space and it was up to the user to download their mail and be responsible for it. PCs did this too, so with your 30 years of PC experience you should recognize this. Absolutely never use POP3 now. [/QUOTE]
