Deleted emails keep returning to inbox

The frustration of deleted emails coming back to haunt you! Don't worry, I'm here to help you troubleshoot the issue.

Here are some possible reasons why deleted emails might be returning to your inbox:

  1. Email client settings: Check your email client's settings to ensure that "Deleted Items" or "Trash" is set to permanently delete emails instead of just moving them to a separate folder.
  2. Email provider settings: Your email provider might have a setting that allows deleted emails to be restored. Check your provider's settings or contact their support team to see if this is the case.
  3. Email client cache: Sometimes, email clients can cache deleted emails, causing them to reappear. Try closing and reopening your email client or clearing its cache.
  4. Email client plugins or add-ons: If you're using plugins or add-ons with your email client, they might be causing the issue. Try disabling them to see if the problem persists.
  5. Email server issues: Your email server might be experiencing issues, causing deleted emails to be restored. Contact your email provider's support team to investigate.
  6. Virus or malware: Malware or viruses can cause email clients to malfunction, leading to deleted emails reappearing. Run a virus scan on your device and ensure your email client is up-to-date.
  7. Email client configuration: If you've recently changed your email client settings or configuration, it might be causing the issue. Try reverting to your previous settings or configuration.

To resolve the issue, you can try the following steps:

  1. Permanently delete emails: Instead of just deleting emails, use the "Shift + Delete" keys (or equivalent) to permanently delete them.
  2. Empty the "Deleted Items" folder: Regularly empty the "Deleted Items" folder to prevent deleted emails from accumulating and potentially reappearing.
  3. Check your email client's settings: Review your email client's settings to ensure that deleted emails are being permanently deleted and not just moved to a separate folder.
  4. Contact your email provider's support team: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, contact your email provider's support team for further assistance.

I hope these suggestions help you resolve the issue of deleted emails returning to your inbox!
