Can you mail fetch of your old email gets deleted

When you set up Mail Fetcher in Gmail, it periodically checks your old email accounts (e.g., Yahoo, Outlook, etc.) for new emails and downloads them to your Gmail account. However, if the emails are deleted from the old account, they will not be fetched by Mail Fetcher.

Here's what happens when an email is deleted from the old account:

  1. Mail Fetcher checks the old account for new emails.
  2. If the email is still present in the old account, Mail Fetcher downloads it to your Gmail account.
  3. If the email is deleted from the old account, Mail Fetcher will not download it to your Gmail account, as it's no longer available.

To avoid losing emails, it's essential to keep the emails in your old account until you've successfully fetched them to your Gmail account. You can do this by:

  1. Setting up a filter in your old account to forward emails to your Gmail account.
  2. Using a third-party email client or service that can archive or backup your emails.
  3. Regularly checking your old account for new emails and manually forwarding or downloading them to your Gmail account.

If you've already deleted emails from your old account, you can try to recover them using the following methods:

  1. Check your email account's trash or deleted items folder. Some email providers store deleted emails in a separate folder for a limited time.
  2. Use an email recovery service or tool, such as Email Recovery or Email Recovery Pro, which can scan your email account's database for deleted emails.
  3. Contact your email provider's support team to see if they can recover deleted emails for you.

Keep in mind that email providers typically have policies regarding email retention and deletion, and they may not be able to recover deleted emails. It's essential to regularly back up your emails to prevent data loss.
