Can not see emails prior to 2022
Hello
It seems that their are many posts on these forums from people being unable to retrieve emails prior to a certain year. I am having this problem too, and I am unable to read emails prior to 2022. I have tried some solutions I have read about like looking through the trash section and checking the "recover deleted items" section. I have not had much luck though trying what other people have tried, but I have observed that searching for emails from certain addresses has turned up emails from as far back as 2014. I think my older emails are still in my inbox, but for some reason can not be seen or accessed directly from the inbox. I am wondering if their is a date setting that I am missing.
Thanks for the help

Hi @user_bc38fl, and thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience on our Xfinity Community forums!😀
I completely understand how confusing and frustrating it can be when emails seem to be missing, especially when you know they should still be there.
You’ve already done a great job trying key steps like checking Trash and the “Recover Deleted Items” option. Since you’re still able to find older messages through search, it does sound like those emails may still exist but aren’t displaying properly in your inbox view.
A few additional things you might try:
- Check your inbox sort and filter settings to make sure emails aren’t being limited by date or view preferences
- Review any active filters or rules that might be hiding or moving older messages
- Try accessing your email on a different device or browser, or clearing your cache, to rule out a display issue
- Use search with broader date ranges or keywords to help surface older messages
- You can also try the Recover Deleted Email Tool if the messages were accidentally deleted (up to 30 days.)
There are some caveats with certain email types and how they are stored and their storage limts as well that you may want to consider and review.
