Help! All Inbox Emails older than 2-3 weeks have disappeared in Outlook 7, IMAP GoDaddy

Hi,
So we have two computers in the office that are set up with Outlook (email addresses are hosted on GoDaddy) in IMAP.  The computer with Outlook 7 was working fine, but a few weeks ago, we noticed that ALL emails older than a couple weeks had simply
disappeared from the inbox!  And it keeps happening everyday.  As soon as more emails come into the Inbox, some of the oldest (again only a few weeks old) emails just vanish.
All the archive settings are off and Auto Archive has been disabled since the beginning.  I have tried to locate a pst file that might have these emails in them but all the files I have been able to find
are archived Sent Mail.  All Sent Mail is still available as well as any emails saved in any of the other email folders.  What is even more confusing is that all the emails have also disappeared from the Inbox on the GoDaddy server as well!  I've
tried the repair tools, I've tried opening Outlook in safemode, and resetting the mailbox views, etc...  NOTHING has worked and the issue keeps happening, so we are losing emails daily.
At first, we thought this might be an issue because the email had been linked to an iPhone and we were told that the Apple cloud server had a habit of erasing emails to make space on the server once it got
full, but we disconnected the iPhone comepletely from the account and it is still happening.  What's the most confusing is why the emails aren't able to be found on our GoDaddy server, since we have unlimited space on our account.
Anybody have this issue as well?  I really need to find these emails, being able to access ALL of our client correspondence is essential to our daily work!
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
If we search the missing items in All Mail Items in Outlook, can you find them?
We can also try to use the Inbox repair tool to scan and repair your Outlook data file to check if it helps. See:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/outlook-help/repair-outlook-data-files-pst-and-ost-HA010075831.aspx
Since your emails are disappeared from the server, please also contact your ISP to get assistance on the server side.

  • All my emails prior to 10/1/2011 have disappeared.

    All my emails prior to 11/1/2011 have disappeared from icloud.  They were backed up on timemachine but they have also disappeared. I am trying to move them off the icloud servers but need them restored so as to do so.  Apple customer service it seems is no help at all.  They want serial numbers before I get any service and there are no serial numbers involved in this issue.  Suggestions would be most welcome.

    Hi HPGuth,
    Welcome to the HP forum!
    Thank you for you query, I will do my best for you.
    I understand that after updating to Windows 8.1, you were unable to connect to the Internet. You did a restore back to factory. Any apps or games that were installed after the date of the restore will need to be reinstalled. If you would like to try the update again, here is some documentation for you. Updating Windows 8 to 8.1.
    Once you are reconnected to the intenet does it auto update the time?  If you set the date and time does it maintain it?

    Plett81,
    I'm having the exact same problem. It does not seem to be a settings issue but rather some sort of "problem" with mac mail. My Exchange provider was able to setup my mailbox on a test machine running Mavericks and everything pulled in fine, however I cannot duplicate on my upgraded system.
    I was able to get rebuild my mailbox and get the older messages within my Exchange inbox, however none of my folders and old messages outside of the Inbox are downloading/synching.
    **NOTE** I contacted Apple SUpport and they told me to call my email provider. I called my email provider which did as described above and they don't see a problem. SO as suspected it has something to do with the Mavericks update but I'm not sure Apple is willing to help. I might try contacting them one more time and see.

  • Excahange 2007 Need to permanently delete all emails older than x years

    Cant get to the 2007 forum so don't know if this is the right place.
    Trying to permanently delete all mail older than 4 years from our Exchange 2007 server. I have worked with Powershell in 2010 (Exchange) 
    but I cannot run due to some restrictions with 32/64 bit powershell limitations in exchange 2007.
    I have searched google and these forums -- there has to be an easy way to do this or someone that can point me in the right direction.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    In Exchange 2007, you can use the following cmdlet to delete emails older than the mentioned date from a mailbox.
    Export-Mailbox -Identity xxx -StartDate "xx/xx/xxxx" -EndDate "xx/xx/xxxx" -DeleteContent
    If you need to perform this on a set of mailboxes, paste all display names to a TXT file, name is as "test.txt". Run the following cmdlet.
    Get-Content test.txt | Export-Mailbox -StartDate "xx/xx/xxxx" -EndDate "xx/xx/xxxx" –DeleteContent –Maxthreads 4
    Hope this can be helpful to you.

  • Export -mailbox to move emails older than 400 days to pst file

    i have written the below script
    $date = get-date
    $MailboxList = get-content "E:\del_users.txt"
    ForEach ($Mailbox in $MailboxList) {
    Export-Mailbox -Identity $Mailbox -PSTFolderPath E:\pstfiles\$mailbox.pst -BadItemLimit 1000000 -StartDate $date.adddays(-450).ToString('MM/dd/yyyy') -DeleteContent
    my target is to move all emails older than 450 days to a pst file. i ran this on one user and noticed his emails from today to 450th day from today was moved out.
    In simple terms, i want to move all emails in all sub-folders that are older than 01-January-2014. Once this is done and when he logs to owa or outlook he must be only be able to see emails from 01-Jan-2014 to 17-Mar-2015.
    how can i achieve this with the above script?
    cheers

    3. Given full access permission to the username moving the mailbox to PST

    5. Given genericall access to the DB
    6. Create a New User account (EX: ExportAdmin)
    Add this account to a Exchange Server Administrator Permission Both Source and Target Exchange Mailbox Server
    Add this account to Local Administrators Group Member Both Source and Target Exchange Mailbox Server
    Make sure this account DO NOT HAVE ANY Domain Admin/Exterprise Admin permission(Just keep Domain User group permission)
    Assign Mailbox Full Access to this account by follow Cmdlet
    Get-Mailbox -Server "EX-CCR" | Add-MailboxPermission -User ExportAdmin -AccessRights FullAccess
    Runas with ExportAdmin account (Open EMC)
    Get-Mailbox -Server "EX-CCR" | Export-Mailbox -PSTFolderPath
    Done
    7. On the DB, we set the retention to 0
    however none of the above has helped me resolve my issue.

  • HELP! my emails disappeared after I modified the pop incoming and outgoing server settings in my apple mail email account. I have checked all my mailboxes--gone. How could they have disappeared? I am talking about 200 plus business emails

    I have checked all my mailboxes--gone. How could they have disappeared? I am talking about 200 plus business emails. I am using Lion X.0

    Thomas,
    "Note that you were warned that this would happen and approved it.  When you delete an e-mail account in Mail, you are shown a message like the following:"
    You didn't read my problem - I said I deleted a POP email account.  I always read the messages that pop up and in Mail when you delete a POP account - IT DOESN'T TELL YOU NUTHIN!  It just deletes it - which *** for me.  Fortunately, I had an iPhone and on that device I had about a 1000 messages that I could recover but on all my POP accounts I download them from the server onto my Mac so they were only on Mail (the really old ones that I wanted to keep.)  I had to move them into another directory one by one basically because when I would move 50 some of them would move and some wouldn't and I never did figure out that problem.  Basically the ones that would not move are the ones that were associated with my domain changes with GoDaddy, and there were a lot of those.  Have no idea as to why only those were resistant to moving but I can get all that data from GoDaddy anyway.
    This thread is now moot seeing as how I've recovered everything I can and am going to just move on - and back up more often.  ;-)
    Apple and Mail need to rewrite that program to include a WARNING MESSAGE when deleting an Account in Mail that says ALL YOUR MESSAGES ARE GOING TO DISAPPEAR NEVER TO RETURN IF YOU DELETE THIS ACCOUNT, SO YOU DANG WELL BETTER HAVE A BACK UP IF YOU WANT TO KEEP ANYTHING BEFORE PRESSING THAT MINUS SYMBOL!  ;-)

  • All the playlists I lovingly and painstakingly made have disappeared, but my songs are still there. What gives?

    All the playlists I lovingly and painstakingly created have disappeared. I have Windows 7 and have decided NEVER EVER to get another 'update' of ITunes...grrr Help!

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • All the images in my Speed Dial thumbnails have disappeared and I can't get them back.

    All the images in my Speed Dial thumbnails have disappeared and I can't get them back. When I check the settings all the thumbnails have the site shown in the details so should be showing the site in the thumbnail, but they're just blank. I uninstalled Speed Dial and installed it again, but to no avail. Something is stopping the image appearing but don't know what. I paused blocking on Ghostery, but that makes no difference. Any suggestions would be welcome!

  • All of the photos in my text messages have disappeared and been replaced with a question mark image. Where did they go?

    I updated my ios two or three weeks ago, but suddenly beginning this morning all of the photos in my text messages have disappeared. They have been replaced with question mark placeholders. I can't access any videos/photos that either I have sent or others have sent to me. I did nothing to instigate this change (no software updates, etc.) and have already tried resetting my phone multiple times.
    Thank you!!

    I have the same condition on my iPhone only. I also have an iPad, a Macbook Air and an iMac that share the same iCloud account. Messages with photos seem to work fine on all devices except my iPhone.  All of a sudden all the photos in my iPhone message streams have disappeared and been replace by question mark placeholders. I rebooted all devices, shut down messages, and rebooted, restarted, with no luck. Very bizarre and extremely frustrating. Any suggestions?

  • All my contacts on my mac and iPhone have disappeared. Any ideas what happened and how to fix it?

    All my contacts on my mac and iPhone have disappeared. Any ideas what happened and how to fix it?

    Do you see them at iCloud.com
    Do you think you could have done anything that might have caused this, if not then it might be best waiting a while in case they just come back.

  • Mail auto redirecting one account to another; Emails older than 1/5/14 missing from Inbox

    On our MacBook Pro running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, using Apple's Mail 4.6 (1035),  my wife's Mail account began experiencing two problems, one starting about 2 weeks ago, the other just recently noticed.
    She uses IMAP to download her primary account from DirectNIC.   This account syncs the Inbox with her iPad Air.  She also POPS mail from a secondary account from WebHostingHub.
    1.  About 2 weeks ago, emails received by her primary account starting being automatically copied and redirected to her secondary account.  Thus, when she uses the "Get Mail" button (or her mail is automatically downloaded), she ends up with two copies of every email in her Inbox, and the ones in her primary account are automatically marked as read. 
    She does not have any rules in Mail, nor does she have any email forwarders in her DirectNIC or POP settings.  We can not figure out how this automatic forwarding started or how to turn it off.  We have rebuilt the Inboxes for both her primary and secondary accounts. 
    2. Yesterday my wife noticed that her Inbox for her primary account is missing emails she had in there that were older than January 5, 2014.  All older emails that had previously been in her Inbox are now gone, and we can not find where they went.  We have not made any changes to her Inbox's behavior, and she was barely using even 1% of her quota on her primary email's IMAP server at DirectNIC.
    Any clues about how to fix any of the above would be welcome.
    Charlie

    I called my ISP and sorted out the problem.  Something changed in the behavior of the POP account so that it started causing both of the problems I described in my original post.  That POP account was using the same email server info as the primary account, and was removing emails after a week, as well as looping back emails sent to the primary account, creating the duplicates.
    I deleted the POP account, which fixed both problems.  She forwards emails sent to her secondary account to her primary account.  I then used  the directions at http://support.apple.com/kb/ta23485 so that she can send emails from the email address she is using as her secondary account.

  • After installing Firefox I lost all inbox emails for outlook for 2014 and all older emails are red flagged.

    I have now removed Firefox and named Outlook as my default browser. Still no emails for 2014. I am using Outlook 2010. Its odd that all the emails are now flagged. I am using Windows 7. I would really like to recover the lost emails.

    Are you using the Outlook 2010 that comes as part of Microsoft Office 2010? You may want to try a forum that is more specific to that product, such as:

  • Need a script for archive/copy IMAP Emails older than 25 days to local mailbox

    Hi there,
    I am really troubling with archiving my IMAP mails. So far I was using standard rules, which have a major drawback - they only work on incoming mails. But I want to copy only mails to my local mailbox that are older than 25 days. The reason is that by copying all incoming mails, mail also copies all spam and unimportant mails into the local mailbox. However I only want to copy the mails that I was able to read and consider to be important, which I am able to do within a couple of days. However, I am not able to to that on a daily basis and that is why I chose the 25 days window, because my hoster deletes them automatically after 30 days. I read in a lot of forums that rules wont help, since they only work for incoming mails, therefore I am guessing that I would need a script because I want this to be automated and only applied to mails that passed the 25 day timeframe. Is the anybody that could help me out? Thank you so much in advance.

    Hi adayzdone,
    thanks for your reply but I am not a Gmail user, I am using Strato. Therefore the handy Google Scripts won't help.
    I need a script in Apple, that only copies or moves the mail from my inbox to a local mailbox once they are past the 25 days line. Within those 25 day I have deleted all unnessecary mails, marks or higlighted the important once and know only the remaining once are worth keeping. But I still want them to be available in Mail and none of those archiving solutions that create pdfs or import them into their one database will help.

  • Email app doesn't display all inbox email

    Hello,
    I have recently changed phones, moved all the content from my old phone to the new one (same model) using Blackberry Desktop Software - all went fine.
    Problem is that if I click the email icon I can't see all the messages - it only shows those that replies were sent to and doesnt display the email if its only one email sent i.e. not a thread.
    Display style is set to Group by Subject. If I change it to Single Message I can see them all, but its annoying to use if I need to refer to the whole conversation.
    I can go to View Folder and set to Inbox and then I DO see all my inbox messages, but if I close the app and open it again I'm back the beggining - I can only see an email if there are replies to it, not if its a single sent email.
    How do I set the Inbox view as the view I get after opening the email app? It used to be like that on my old phone so I know it is doable - though I dont remember having to set it up. It just displayed everyting correctly.
    I simply used to be the same view as on the computer. Inbox as the main view, conversation combined by the Subject, once clicked on I get all the emails in the conversation displaying one after another, clickable to open.
    I loved the blackberry due the fact how easily I could handle my work email, now it became much more fiddly.
    Heeeeeeelp?
    UPDATE:
    What I havent tried before posting whats above is back the blackberry content up and restore it again. I have absolutely not idea why it worked (since it should have copied the wrong settings) but it DID.

    "Group by Subject" was what I was referring to. Sometimes it's called Conversation style.
    Glad you got it fixed.
