Hi ,
I am using MacOS Sierra 10.12.2 and iphone 6 10.2 .
I have an IMAP mail account. In the inbox, emails are deleting itself from a date. Like 7 days older emails deleting itself.
I looked up webmail preferences but there was no option.
Is there any option or rule that i can change it.
Thank you
MacBook Air, macOS Sierra (10.12.2)
Open IMAP account > preferences > accounts > erase deleted messages > click on drop down arrows .
The options are available .
However the article says : Mail for Mac: Mailbox Behaviors preferences in Mail
If you selected None for Trash Mailbox, you can choose to have Mail permanently delete messages automatically.
If your email account provider sets up the server to delete older messages, the messages are deleted regardless of how you set this option.
Hi Tygb ,
My emails in the inbox deleting 14 days older emails.
Sent emails are normal. No automatic deleting. Also for other boxes.
Also there is no preferences in my server . WEBMAIL
My preferences are set to never.
I still have no decision why my mails are deleting automaticlly
Thanks
Your e-mail provider may be deleting them from the server. Try Mail/Mailbox/Create New Mailbox and select On My Mac. Move the e-mails you want to save to the new mailbox.
