Before we can give you any ideas on what might be happening, we need to know
how you configured the account - as imap or pop3.

Are you using antispam filters? Did you try using advanced find to search
the mail folders for the missing mail?

Hi group,

So it seems like I have royally screwed up my outlook. Here are my
issues:

1. I set up my outlook from gmail and at one point it stopped
importing all my old messages. I tried to delete the profile and it
didn't work so I set up a new gmail account which worked. How do I get
rid of the old inbox that no longer receives messages? Its the one
that is under personal folders?

2. My outlook is automatically deleting emails. Sometimes if I'm fast
enough I can read them but other times they are just deleting. I have
no idea where the emails are going or how to make it stop. I'm an
unsaavy outlook-gmail user and am a bit confused about this whole IMAP/
POP3 issue. Can I retrieve the messages I've lost?

Is it best if I start over on the outlook process, if so how?

Any insight would be great!

Thanks,
Marlene
