My Outlook inbox is deleting after 5 days. I am using Outlook 2007 and I
cannot find the setting to keep inbox emails forever, until I delete them. I
am forwarding my AOL using IMAP. I have looked EVERYWHERE on here, on the
Internet and nothing. Please help.

See AutoArchive in Outlook Help.

When looking at this, I am using the defaults. This is what Outlook is
saying they should delete. It prompts me to autoarchive every 14 days. I
don't get it.

Default aging periods for when items in folders expire or are deleted
Folder Aging period
Inbox and Drafts 6 months
Sent Items and Deleted Items 2 months
Outbox 3 months
Calendar 6 months
Tasks 6 months
Notes 6 months
Journal 6 months

Note Folders that you create that contain the same type of items as the
Inbox, Calendar, Tasks, Notes, or Journal have the same default, six-month
aging period.

Did you look at the AutoArchive settings on your PC? The Default AND the
Folder Specific ones.
