With IMAP, all emails are stored on the server. You should be using IMAP to see emails on your main computer and laptop. OK, the IMAP and POP3 thing are very confusing to me and not sure which one I should be using in order to see my emails on my main computer and my laptop. Strangely, it came to my main computer inbox but within a minute or so-it disappeared from my main computer! I also tried forwarding one from my laptop to my main computer and it showed up in the inbox but soon simply disappeared!! In doing some looking around, decided I would go to the email program that is within the server and nothing there either!! Just for a trial, I sent myself a message from my laptop and then went to my main computer to check and see if it went to it. Then, last night I decided I would look at my laptop again and my laptop is showing the ones I thought I had lost on my main computer. I got home and discovered the only emails I had in my inbox were new ones and none of the ones that I wanted simply left in my inbox for referencing to. What I have noticed is that we were gone a few days and I took my laptop with me and viewed my emails and deleted some I didn't want but didn't delete any that I wanted to remain available on my laptop or my main home computer. and view your emails directly on the server using your browser, are they still missing?īTW, I have not lost any emails using Tbird. And as you know, when using IMAP, emails are stored on the server. I assume IMAP since you tried to "download" your emails. Today, after being gone for 4 days I went to download the 200 or so emails that are mostly junk but found all my emails from previous days are gone again! I am tired of this and am willing to move on to a "good" email program that won't lose anything unless I tell it to delete it! Thanks for any suggestions. I probably wasn't doing it correctly but would simply leave them in my inbox and revert back to them when I wanted or needed to. The last couple of years it has blown up on me and somehow lost emails I wanted saved to look at later. I have used Thunderbird by Mozilla for many years.
