Sent emails disappear

Sent emails disappear if I don't tranfer them during the month to another folder.
Is there some way of getting the sent emails back

Re: Sent emails disappear

What type of account, POP3 or IMAP?
Who is the mail service provider?

Re: Sent emails disappear

Hotmail has a policy of removing Sent emails after 30 days,
but I don't think Bigpond does. Besides, POP3 doesn't have
that capability.

So, it is a bit of a mystery why your Sent emails disappear
after 30 days. Try going to your webmail portal:
http://webmail2.bigpond.com/webedge/...iew?field=date
Are any of your sent emails there?

Also, while you have the Sent Items folder open, make sure your
'Current View' is "Show All Messages" instead of "Hide Read Messages".

Incidentally, it is customary here when replying to quote the message
you are replying to. That gives better continuity, and keeps me from
having to dig up previous posts.
