Hi A week ago all my emails disappeared - new emails come in - but all my emails from years back - I need them for tax purposes etc - so this is really distressing.
I have a PC running on Windows 11 - One drive is connected - The emails are not in the deleted folder - nor in the archive folder - I can't find them - yet when I search one - they show up - I can search for instance an email name and then many emails will show up - but they are not in my feed. It is my outlook account.
HELP? I am not a computer wizz so maybe there is a simple trick.
Thank you Barbara Droubay

This happened to me yesterday - Emails are missing from a specific date (13/02/2025 to 09/04/2025) - both inbox and sent items - all the changes I made to the mailbox since the last email13/02/2025 to 09/04/2025 has been lost. Outlook downloaded all the mail from the 09/04/2025 again as if its new mail - but these are not duplicated - so its like I never had all those emails

I found more email in the Outlook 365.

2025-03-21T07:06:30+00:00 That happened to me too. I have no idea where all my emails went... It's very disappointing and I think it should be illegal and not accepted from a trustable public plateform !
