After I reported my empty drafts (no message) and other lost content (not downloaded from server message) my pop account miraculously turned into an IMAP one and ALL my mails were just GONE, everything wiped clean.
Fiddling with the imap server settings my inbox filled again, but my Apple dealer said I lost drafts and sent mail forever because they were stored on the iPad.
Now, how and why does it disappear and so gradually? Why can't I (or some expert) retrieve it?
At one point I could search for a word in the content of my empty mails and I got hits, so the content was still there only not visible.I'm obviously a nitwit when it comes to IT but this gradual dispappearance of content and the entire structure of my pop account, don't tell me no one can fix this?
Is it really so difficult to understand why people do not want to synchronize certain things? Now I wished my drafts folder and sent mail was.
I'm getting my inbox back stuffed with mails I previously deleted.
My MacBook isn't upgradable anymore, I'm stuck with OS 10.6.8 which isn't compatible with iOS 9. But perhaps that's not a bad thing in this case?
I would be happy to know the consequences of upgrading iOS next time (a unmistakable warning: hey, if you use POP this could happen...) and of an easy way of turning it back. By the time I had figured out how to do it, it was too late.
