    Welcome DAGau,

    Please note that our forum is a public platform, and we will modify your question to hide your personal information in the description. Kindly ensure that you hide any personal or organizational information the next time you post an error or other details to protect personal data.  

    Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum.  

    I understand that new emails are not arriving in your Inbox and are being automatically moved to the Deleted Items folder in Outlook on the web. 

    In addition to the previous suggestions, you could also explore these options:  

    Option 1: Turn off Focused Inbox 

    • Open Outlook on the web 
    • Select Settings in the upper-right corner 
    • Go to Mail > Layout 
    • Choose " Don't sort my messages" and save the changes 

    Option 2: Check Sweep settings 

    • Go to Settings 
    • Select Mail > Sweep 
    • Remove any Sweep rules that may delete or move incoming messages automatically 

    Option 3: Review Junk Email settings 

    • Go to Settings 
    • Select Mail, then Junk email 
    • Check the Blocked senders list and remove any valid addresses 
    • Make sure automatic deletion of suspected junk is not enabled unnecessarily 

    Option 4: Check Inbox filters 

    • Open your Inbox 
    • Make sure no filter such as Unread or Flagged is selected at the top of the message list 

    I hope this information helps resolve your issue. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me again in this thread.

    Hello,

    Click Settings in the upper right corner

    Click Mail > Rules

    Check if there are any rules that moved the emails to "Deleted Items" or deleted them.

    Turn off or delete this rule.
