Original Title: POP folder deleted old emails

I recently synced my email with my new laptop and a POP folder was created. This happened to me once before when I synced my phone with my email and I noticed that all my old emails (years and years worth - I've had an email account with hotmail since it first started - hence the short email address) had been deleted under trash in the POP folder. I had to move them all out of the trash and back into my folder. This time however - I did not notice the POP folder being created and I was out of the country for 3 weeks. When I came back I noticed the folder and panicked - indeed - my emails only go back to 2006 now and all my emails from 2005 and beyond are all gone. I deleted the account from my laptop but the POP folder still exists. I can't even access emails in my inbox on my phone from beyond 2 weeks ago now. What is going on?? What can be done to fix this issue immediately? I've tried every recovery method stated in the threads - but since its been over 3 weeks - they do not work for this issue. I did not ask for anything to be deleted and its strange that they are only emails from 2005-1999? I also just want a normal inbox back...What should I do?
