Forward all emails from Android device

If it's on your phone, you should be able to reconnect to your account and download the emails. What service do you use for the email?

Thanks for reaching out! It is POP om my phone. How do I download on my phone though? Need it all on my desktop.
Imap on desktop, but account is deleted. Happened because it was asked by Godaddy to update to Exchange. Had to re-add email account. Stupidly deleted the old one, now all emails lost. Been on Godaddy customer support for days, and they can not do anything and all suggestions fail. So now I'm desperately trying to retrieving them on my phone where I can see that they are there.

well if you have had IMAP on the desktop then the emails should still be on the server... can you access the webmail version for your account?

The thing is that Godaddy has exclusively gone over to Outlook Exchange during this switch. That is the only webmail they have and it does not trace back.

OK so they have switch servers and never migrated the email accounts/mailboxes. Typical. Are you able to put in the old server info to see if you can pull the emails down?

If not, I am not sure if you can forward all the emails as easily as you would in say Outlook. One poster said they contacted Samsung and they said it's not possible to retrieve the emails.

When putting in the old webmail url it just redirects me to Outlook.

Yeah, that would be the issue. Maybe I can just forward 36000 emails one by one (hah!)
But yeah. Still unresolved.

I meant the old server information in Outlook app or whatever program you are using.

I see. I have been up and down troubleshooting through Outlook as well. The Archive and Old emails are not there. Still only trace back 2 weeks...

Well then it sounds like GoDaddy screwed up and lost your emails that were on the server. In case you didn't know:

POP email will download from the server and store on your computer so it will no longer be on the server (by default). There are options to keep a copy.

IMAP will sync with the server and will leave the emails on the server. You will be able to see emails on multiple devices, however you delete on one, it deletes from the server and the other devices will remove it from view.

Since GoDaddy moved servers, they should have transferred the mailboxes over...

I would see if they can allow you to access the old server or what their protocol was for the switch.

There is really nothing you can do with the emails in terms of forwarding/copying them en masse on your phone. I guess use the phone as an archive and pull them when needed?
