*NOTE: iEditWeb stores email messages for 60 days on our server. On the 61st day we will remove email messages from your InBox, Trash and Spam.
If you are using IMAP protocol, please create folder(s) to move email messages you wish to keep until YOU remove them.
If you are using POP protocol, any email messages you have downloaded in an email client, Outlook, Thunderbird, etc., we remain in your email client till you remove it regardless of which folder the email is placed.
