Hi, I am Saurabh a Microsoft Consumer just like you are. I am happy to help with my expertise and will try my best to solve your issue.

Generally speaking, the folder "IPM_SUBTREE" is the root folder in an Outlook mailbox; emails are not kept in this folder directly. Rather, it's a system folder that holds other folders, such as other default folders and your inbox.

Emails that somehow end up in the "IPM_SUBTREE" folder rather than in your inbox or other expected folders may be the result of an issue with your Outlook setup or a rule that has been applied to your mailbox.

The following actions can be taken to troubleshoot and fix this problem:

Examine your Outlook Rules. If you haven't personally defined any rules, there may be server-side rules in place that are directing emails to the "IPM_SUBTREE" folder in your mailbox. To examine any current rules, open Outlook and go to the Rules and Alerts settings.

Disable Rules: Put an end to any rules that you believe are influencing how emails are routed. Next, keep an eye on your inbox to see if the "IPM_SUBTREE" folder is still receiving new emails.

Examine the rubbish Email Folder: Occasionally, emails are inadvertently classified as rubbish and placed in this folder. Make sure that no crucial emails have been routed into this folder by checking it.

Clear All Views: It's conceivable that certain emails are hidden in your Outlook mailbox due to view settings. To see if it fixes the problem, try returning the view to its original configuration.

Outlook Repair: You might want to think about fixing your Outlook installation if the problem continues. Shut down Outlook, select Programmes > Programmes and Features from the Control Panel. After choosing Microsoft Office, click Change and then choose Repair.

Contact Support: For additional help, get in touch with Microsoft Support if none of the aforementioned solutions work. They can assist in identifying the issue and offer targeted advice according to how Outlook is set up. go to support.microsoft.com/windows and you will be presented with the following:
