hi phillib,

according description, understanding affected account (outlook deleted emails of server) pop account. please clarify if situation misunderstood.

if case, emails deleted server should have copy in outlook. pop account’s mechanism (emails left copy local/outlook). so, please re-confirm this.

and, while configuring pop account in outlook client, there option “remove server after <x> days”. if option enabled/selected (for example, x 4) messages removed server after 4 days. under such circumstance, same account configured same method (pop) still not synced pc. if so, disable/unselect option. here article reference.
 

in addition, affected account/pc, make sure outlook’s “autoarchive” hasn’t been enabled. detailed performance should “file”> “options”> “advanced”> “autoarchive” (run autoarchive every n days).

regards,
alan
