Wife

 Regarding archiving emails: I set up folders to "store" some emails that my husband wanted to reference from time to rime. I set it up by dates. 

 Then recently I created a new ( secondary) email account for him and deleted the old one ( email account) for some reason the dated folders are still in the column on the lest there but there are empty. Can anyone tell me what happened and how I may get them back?
