There are a few reasons why your emails might be being deleted from Gmail. For example, if you have not received an email from Gmail in a while, or if it is spam. Additionally, if you have not been following our company’s email policy and are now receiving emails that are not from us. Finally, if you have sent too many emails in a short amount of time or if you have been using Gmail for too long without following our company’s email policy.


In Gmail Settings, choose “Auto-Expunge off” under the “Forwarding and POP IMAP” tab. Check the “Clean up Inbox on Exit” option in Postbox’s preferences window, which was listed above.

Yes, Gmail does not delete old emails. Gmail retains all communications except those in your Trash or Spam folders automatically. Messages in these folders are immediately erased after 30 days.

Open the Email app. Click the menu button and select Settings. Account settings can be found here. Select the account you wish to manage. For more information, tap More Settings. Incoming settings may be found here. Delete email from service should be at the bottom of this list

When an email is accidentally deleted, it’s quite common for emails to go missing. It might also happen if the email system incorrectly identifies an incoming message as spam, meaning it never makes it into your inbox. An email may also disappear if it is archived and you don’t realize it.

With two exceptions and one exception, Gmail retains emails permanently. You must access your Gmail account at least once every 2 years (below), or use Google One storage for a fee.
