SBCGlobal is a popular email service that many people use worldwide. But email problems with it, like other email services, are common. One of the most frequently occurring issues relates to the emails being lost or the user being unable to access them. Such individuals usually wonder about how to recover SBCGlobal email.
You can start by finding the email in other folders apart from your inbox. If you are unable to access your SBCGlobal account, clearing the cache and data of the device can help. In this post, we will give you some effective ways to recover deleted emails and sign-in issues with SBCGlobal email.
5 Ways to Recover SBCGlobal Email
Let’s start with the easiest method of looking into other folders for the missing emails. If that does not yield you results, follow the other methods.
1. Examine the Archive Folder
One of the first things you can do is to check the archive folder. Often, people unknowingly archive their emails. Afterward, they are unable to find the email in their primary inbox.
If you are also in the habit of archiving emails, we advise you to check your archive folder. If you find the email there, move it to your SBCGlobal email’s primary inbox.
2. Check the Spam Folder
After checking the archive folder, look through your spam folder. Often, various emails are perceived as spam even when they are not. In this case, your SBCGlobal email automatically moves certain emails to the spam folder without notifying you.
So, if there is an important email that you cannot find in your primary folder, we urge you to browse through the spam folder. If you find the email there, move it to your primary inbox or any other relevant folder in your email.
3. Review the Email Filters
Have you set up email filters? If yes, they may be responsible for moving the email to another place. So, review all of the filter rules that you have set up. It may be possible that you have turned on email forwarding. In this case, the email will automatically be moved to the other email address that you have set up for the email to be moved to.
You can delete the email filters if you find that they are making your work difficult rather than simpler. Only set up those rules that help you easily access all your important emails while making your inbox remain clutter-free.
4. Examine the Trash Folder
Like the spam folder, your email might go into the trash folder, too. This is particularly so if you have deleted the email in the past month. The trash folder contains emails deleted within the 30-day time frame.
If you happen to find the email in the trash folder of your SBCGlobal email, select it. Now, tap the ‘Move’ button to shift it to the folder of your choice.
