How come AOL keeps deleting my mail?
by rorita-76 on March 26, 2009Q: My AOL mail keeps deleting all my email by itself, from the inbox, old mail, sent, deleted…from every folder. How can I stop this?

You welcome to try to complain to AOL about that, but I wouldn’t trust their service with anything.
Do yourself a favor and switch to Google’s free e-mail service (gmail) https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount
and send an e-mail to your contacts about the switch.
You can also easily backup all your gmail with this: http://www.gmail-backup.com/

Thank you for your reply, but I can’t switch because I need my aol account to remain active, I need to see where all my emails are Disappearing…

It is my understanding that AOL only keeps emails for about a week. I found information in their help section at http://help.aol.com/help/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=220913&sliceId=1&docTypeID=DT_AOLHOW_TO_1_1&dialogID=6237815&stateId=0%200%206257476 that might be useful for you. At the bottom they also have a link to “United Inbox Mail” that might also be helpful.
