Fix Outlook deleted emails keep coming back to Inbox
Here's how to Fix Outlook deleted emails keep coming back to Inbox.
If you are experiencing an issue where deleted emails keep coming back to your Outlook Inbox, here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
1. Clear the Outlook cache: Close Outlook, navigate to the %localappdata%\Microsoft\Outlook folder, and delete the .ost file. Then, open Outlook again, and it will create a new .ost file.
2. Disable any rules: Sometimes, the issue could be caused by a rule in Outlook that moves deleted emails back to the Inbox. Go to File - Manage Rules and Alerts, and disable any rules that might be causing the issue.
3. Disable the "Leave a copy of messages on the server" option: If you are using a POP email account, go to File - Account Settings - Account Settings, select your email account, click Change, and then click More Settings. Under the Advanced tab, uncheck the "Leave a copy of messages on the server" option.
4. Repair the Outlook data file: Go to File - Account Settings - Account Settings, select your email account, click Repair, and follow the prompts to repair the Outlook data file.
5. Use Outlook in Online mode: If you are using Outlook in Cached Exchange mode, try switching to Online mode. Go to File - Info - Account Settings - Account Settings, select your email account, click Change, and then uncheck the "Use Cached Exchange Mode" option.
If none of the above steps work, you may want to contact your IT department or email provider for further assistance.
