Email and accounts

Why did my email disappear?

For this email or account question, use the official app or website first. The answer may involve storage, spam folders, filters, sign-in, or a security prompt.

The short answer

Open the official mail app or website, search for the message or account setting, check spam/storage/security prompts, and do not share passwords or verification codes.

Try these first

1Open the official app or website yourself instead of starting from a link.
2Search for the sender, subject, or account name.
3Check Spam, Trash, storage, and security prompts before changing passwords.
