Accessing missionary emails after mission

#1

Post by WMD85 »

I returned from my mission about a year and a half ago and just today I was looking through pictures from my mission, but it seems like about a fourth of them were missing. I'm pretty sure I backed up photos to google drive throughout my mission, but I can't seem to access the email account from my mission anymore. Does that account get deleted after returning home, or is it still possible to access it somehow?

I returned from my mission about four years ago and just today Ii needed something very important that i am certain it is in my missionary email. Does that account get deleted after returning home, or is it still possible to access it somehow?

Please follow the link in the thread immediately above yours. If I gather correctly from that thread, there may be an 18-month window before messages are deleted.

Quoting a post a few posts ago:

In your case, if you have 3 months left on your mission, you have more time than the person to whom russellhltn's post was directed. There's at least one post from a Church employee in the above-linked thread that describes the time limits.
