Hi

I'm having constant issues with disappearing mailboxes. So for example I have 8 mailboxes in one Outlook profile all using IMAP

I setup all the mailboxes which will authenticate / populate / download / sync all emails and folders. Then I'll leave the machine for a day or so and then I'll open Outlook and half of the profiles will have disappeared

This has been happening for a few months I've;

  • Reinstalled Office
  • Rebuild Outlook and Windows profile
  • Ran Dism and SFC
  • Ran all OS and Office updates however this has been happening in previous versions too
  • This is also happening one other machines using the same mailboxes
  • Ran deep/thorough anti virus and malware scans

The next thing is rebuild the machine, but it's a remote machine 100 miles away from me

Can anyone help??

Regards,

Sam

    Sometimes Outlook emails disappear due to an issue of configuration in your settings, account inactivity, email rules set up on Outlook, and emails moved to a deleted folder.
