We have created 8 folders to manage 23 rules.Modify all the rules that deleted the emails.Next, assign the rules randomly to one of the 8 folders. You can assign 3 rules per folders.Next, clean up the deleted folder by deleting unwanted emails and leave out the one you want to save.Move back all the remaining emails from the Deleted Items folder to Inbox.Select all the rules from the Rules Manager and run them against the Inbox.Now check which folder got the emails that you didn’t want to reach the Deleted Items folder. Narrow down the number of rules to use.Move other rules back to the Deleted Items folder.Spread the rules you narrowed down in step 8 across folders.Re-run the rules from the Rules Manager and you should find the rule that is causing the issue.At times, Outlook email rules can be applied to the emails that you did not intend to send to the Deleted Items folder.
