Windows 10: All the emails (Gmail) I have saved for five years just disappeared.

My emails, saved in my folders, just disappeared...why? Where are they?

:)

 

Emails disappear after being read

use thunderbird, or gmail.
Or use thunderbird to read your Gmail.

People still use outlook?

What Are the Gmail SMTP Server Settings?
Gmail SMTP
Gmail POP3 Settings

• Gmail POP server address: pop.gmail.com
• Gmail POP user name: Your full Gmail address (example@gmail.com, for example)
• Gmail POP password: Your Gmail password
  • ​If you have enabled Gmail 2-step authentication, use an application-specific Gmail password.

• Gmail POP port: 995
• Gmail POP TLS/SSL required: yes

- I just did a couple of general internet searches for you.

I'm not sure that you can transfer emails from one server to another unless you have some offer to do that.

Consider using an email client such as Thunderbird, which can receive and store emails on your PC. I have emails going back many years.

(Of course, also back up your PC!)

 

gmail problem

Thanks. Yup, I tried those. I never use the browser to save passwords - use Lastpass. It only has the incorrect password listed.
According to gmail the password was changed 7 months ago.
What is frustrating is that although I use two factor authentification & although the phone number is correct (I receive a text with the code) & the recovery email address is valid, gmail does not send me the reset email. I checked the spam list etc but no joy.
As I say, the email is working - I receive mail to it & can send from it. It's working on both Desktop PC & tablet.
Hey Ho, I'll just have to work round it, remove any accounts associated with it & eventually get rid.
Thanks for your suggestions.
