Sent emails have disappeared

Sent email prior to 11-24-21 has disappeared.  It's not in trash or recoverable trash or in any other folder and I have looked on 3 devices.  What has happened and can I get my email back?

I have the same problem. All my sent items prior to 12/28/2021 are gone. Tried to recover them as another article mentioned and I can only recover up to 10/28/2021. Anything before is gone.

Hello, @user_f41990, I will be happy to do all I can to help with this email issue. Are you able to give us more details? What type of Email account are you using? Are you using a third-party mail client such as Microsoft Outlook?

Hi-- A similar problem with my Xfinity emails started last week--after I deleted A

Lot of old mail. Tried Rebuild, but it didn't work. I have a Comcast/Xfinity e-mail on a MacAir M1. Sent emails disappeared starting 3/14, though a couple from today did show up. Others moving to different mailboxes--Comcast Inbox goes to Junk starting 3/12. I think Drafts are ok. I've looked up ways to fix this, but I'm not that computer-savvy and I'd like to have an Official Xfinity Employee help. Could a phone call be arranged? Thanks

Hi there, @cfreeman88. Thank you for posting a comment in our forums. We will be more than happy to look into what issues you are having. Have you tried accessing the email through our Xfinity website by using the following link https://comca.st/3thZ7I7 and choosing the connect or email icon on the top right corner of the screen to verify if the emails are still there? It may be that the email client that you are using may be deleting your emails and not restoring them and they may still be available through the website. 

I no longer work for Comcast.

Hi Edgardo—

Thanks for your response. I though I sent a reply back but I guess I didn’t. I looked on my email account on Exfinity website but it looks about the same. A lot of emails are there but a lot more are not.

What do you mean by “an email client may be deleting and not restoring them so they may still be available on the website”?

I found an article about emails moving to different folders. Looks like good info but I’m hesitant to try any suggestions on my own.

Great question, @cfreeman88! Thanks for confirming that you were able to look at the XFINITY website to see if alot of the emails are there with alot more that are not there. When we state an email client, we are meanign a third party email service like outlook, gmail, apple mail etc. When checking the XFINTIY website, are you seeing emails that are not showing in apple mail? Are you missing emails to your XFINITY email or personal email address?

I'm having the same problem. Today (3/17/22) I logged into Microsoft Outlook on my laptop and the past 30 days of emails are missing. They are missing from the Xfinity web site as well. I have Outlook set up so that it acts independently of the Xfinity site -- so a deletion on Outlook should not trigger similar deletions on the web site. I have searched through Trash and Junk on both systems with no luck. The emails seem to have completely disappeared with no action on my part that I can identify.

I have sent a Direct Message about this as instructed in the first post above. Thank you.

@user_f19092​ I was told by Comcast/Xfinity that sometimes when they update software this happens.  They were able to recover some of my more recent missing inbox emails but not all.
