Oh my!! I just used Web Mail and see that my ISP has been purging the emails, but they are going to try to get them back.
I was always under the impression that the full email was downloaded to my computer, but it looks like that is not the case currently. So I could benefit from some education on what is really happening, and how to make sure I have the e-mails like I used to have. Perhaps this is a setting in Evolution - I don't know at this point because I'm not sure what to look for. Your help is appreciated.
