Hi, I have a POP3 account and an IMAP account. The IMAP is with Gmail. <br />

It's set up as recommended here: <a href="https://support.google.com/mail/troubleshooter/1668960?authuser=1&hl=en&rd=1" rel="ugc nofollow">https://support.google.com/mail/troubleshooter/1668960?authuser=1&hl=en&rd=1</a><br />

But the boss says this is removing the emails from the server, and when I go to the gmail account online, there are no emails in the inbox.<br />

Outlook Rule removing emails from GMail Server?

Microsoft Outlook is a personal information manager from Microsoft, available as a part of the Microsoft Office suite. Although often used mainly as an email application, it also includes a calendar, task manager, contact manager, note-taker, journal, and web browser.

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.

Email Clients

Interactions between email servers and clients are governed by email protocols. The three most common email protocols are POP, IMAP and MAPI. Most email software operates under one of these (and many products support more than one).  The correct protocol must be selected, and correctly configured, if you want your email account to work.

Email Protocols

Google Workspace is a suite of cloud computing productivity and collaboration software tools and software. It includes Google’s popular web applications including Gmail, Drive, Hangouts, Calendar, and Docs. While these products are available to consumers free of charge, Google Workspace adds business-specific features such as custom email addresses at your domain and storage for documents and email.
