Outlook download old emails from server

Mail for Windows 10 allows you to search messages for a sender name, a subject line, or other content. Your search will return all results that contain your specific search term. For example, if you choose to search your email for the name Keri Mills, Mail for Windows 10 will show you all messages that contain the words 'Keri Mills.' Download older messages from Gmail via POP3 I’ve configured Outlook to use POP3 to connect to my Gmail account but it did not download all my emails. While it did download my latest messages, it did not download my old messages. Dec 24, 2011  seen new emails in outlook when emails are filtered hello i have mail filtering my emails, is there a way to have a list of the unread emails and able to see in which folders they are located? Thanks: Microsoft Office: Moved.pst, old emails downloading My main computer needs to go in for repairs, so I am firing up my backup computer.

I migrated a VP of our company to Office 365 and now he's not seeing emails in folders that there should be. The problem seems to affect all folders but only emails after about 6-12 months old.

Other 'clues' I've found are:

  • Emails can be seen from the Office 365 Outlook Web Access interface
  • The folders in Outlook will show the proper count of emails [75]
  • Outlook is pointed to an exchange server (Office 365)

I suspect it's some sort of 'don't sync if older than X' type setting but I have no idea where that setting would be.

Go into email account setting and set your server from IMAP to POP. You may need help from your service provider. IMAP mirrors the service providers server and some service providers dump your emails after 2 weeks regardless of your setting. Hope this helps.
