POP mail accounts can only access and download from the server Inbox.

There will be a 'Message Archives' section stating the name of the folder and the account. This opens the 'Account settings' window. Right click on the imap mail account name in the Folder Pane and select 'Settings'.How to find out what folder is set up to contain archived emails. Select the folder and click on 'Subscribe', then click on 'OK'.Right click on the imap mail account name in the Folder Pane and select 'Subscribe'.You may need to subscribe to see that folder. If you selected an email to view and then pressed the 'A' key, this is a shortcut key to auto archive the selected email and will auto archive the email into where ever you have set it up to archive those emails. It is possible you accidentally archived the emails. IMAP mail accounts only show what is on the server because imap folders synchronise with server folders. The 'sent' emails have stayed in the 'Sent' box, though.In most cases, it is rarely the problem with the Thunderbird program itself and so uninstalling and reinstalling the program will usually not make any difference. I've tried creating a new account several times in Outlook 2013, and I still can't resolve the inbox problem. I can't find them in any other box, nor are they stored at. So, I set it back to IMAP account, and the newly incoming emails show up sometimes, and sometimes they don't - but always with the same vanishing problem. I tried setting up the Outlook 2013 to be a POP account, but the mail wouldn't show up at all. Or is it ok to keep the emails on the server? I thought of changing the XP to an IMAP account but I think I would like to avoid that because I don't want the emails being kept on the server. I'm wondering if it's because the emails are being stored on the XP (POP) computer so they don't stay in the inbox on the W8 computer. I searched the internet high and low and it seems there are a lot of people with vanishing-mail-in-inbox problems out there. I set up the W8 computer with an IMAP account - not that I'm sure this was the correct account type to choose but I've read W8 doesn't support POP accounts.įrom the beginning, with the new IMAP account on Outlook 2013, any incoming emails in the inbox vanished after being there for sometimes less than a minute or sometimes as long as 10 whole minutes - ha. The W8 computer will be replacing an old XP computer that has (good ole) Outlook Express mail with a (good ole) POP account. "I'm having a heck of a time with Outlook 2013 on a new Windows 8 computer. I just noticed this forum for Microsoft apps, so I'll copy/paste a problem I posted about at the Gardenweb computer forum regarding Outlook 2013 - see if you guys know what the issue might be - thanks for reading.
