• Inbox Rules - If an inbox rule is set incorrectly, it can filter all messages instead of just the intended messages. Check all inbox rules to make sure that they are filtering just the intended messages.
   
• Client - If a secondary client using POP, IMAP, or Exchange settings are set up to view email, there are settings to either not keep copies of emails that are downloaded on the server or to remove them from the server after so many days.
