    Note that under Account > Advanced > DELETED MESSAGES > Remove, the default setting is now "After one week".  This means that any messages in your Deleted Items folder will be automatically purged after one week.  To avoid this, change that setting.
     

    You can recover messages that are purged this way by using Recover Deleted Items for up to 2 weeks from the time the purge occurs.
