Hence, my assumption that my POP3 account had been synchronizing with the Comcast server until the middle of Sept., 2017. I also noticed that the 2017 folder on the server had all messages up to the middle of Sept., 2017, but nothing afterward. When I went to the Comcast email server, I found those folders were still populated. I recently had to retrieve something from 2016 and noticed the folder was completely empty, and then noticed that all folders going back to 2009 were completely empty (in

I am a volunteer with a small local 501c3 organization and am required, for legal purposes, to be able to retrieve some email information, some of it going back several years. The IMAP account setup, such as not to automatically send/receive on a timed basis, not to perform send/receive when I open the program, etc., but it still does.
