Messages in my inbox disappear after 1 week. How can I fix this?

[Guest]

The messages in my inbox disappear after one week. I can't find any settings
that make it do this. I may have inadvertently set it this way, but can't
figure out how I did it. It just started happening a couple of months ago.

What version of outlook are you using??

If you're using 2003, right click on your inbox folder and choose
properties. There is a tab called AutoArchive. I would check those
setting to see if they archive your inbox messages after they have been
in there for a week.

I know at my company we only have a certain amount of space we can use
for our emails. So auto archive takes the messages out of your inbox
and puts them in a folder on your hard drive. This folder is also
accessable in outlook in the "Archive Folder", most likely underneath
your inbox folder.

Hope this helps.

My suspicion is that you're using the "Last Seven Days" view. Click
View>Arrange By>Current View and select Messages.
