    Old Deleted Emails Appearing in Inbox
    Expand
    title

    Note: If there were any emails that were in your Trash (deleted from Inbox but not deleted from your mailbox), they will show up. Because they were deleted but your Trash wasn't emptied, they were migrated with your account. They are NOT duplicates or anything nefarious. Simply delete them again and then empty your Trash. It is a bit annoying we know.

    titleWhat is an Email Profile?
    Info
    iconfalse

    E-mail profiles are what Outlook (or other client) uses to remember which e-mail accounts you use and where the data for each account is stored. Each profile provides Outlook with the following information:

      • What account information to use: This information includes the user name, display name, e-mail server name, and Internet service provider (ISP) account password.

      • Where the e-mail data is delivered and stored: In Outlook, data is delivered and stored either on the e-mail server or a in .pst file on your computer. This data includes rules, messages, contacts, calendars, notes, tasks, journals, Search Folders, and other settings.

    Info
    iconfalse

    Outlook e-mail profiles are stored in the Windows registry. When Outlook starts, it retrieves the profile information from the registry.
