Junk emails are getting cleared automatically though set not to!

Junk emails are getting cleared automatically though set not to!

I am on Mac OS Monterey 12.7 & using eM Client version 9.2.2144

In “preferences → General → Delete spam on exit older than 30 days” option is unchecked but still junk emails older than 30 days are getting cleared!

Seems this is a bug and I don’t want junk emails to be cleared automatically how this can be done? Thanks.

Check with your email provider. Most empty the spam folder after 30 days.

thanks for your quick response Gary.

i use icloud so can you please confirm is it apple doing this? Thanks

You will need to ask them, but as I said, most email providers empty it after some time. Maybe they have a setting to change that in their web interface.

ok let me check with them, as far as i know web interface of icloud has no specific settings related to junk email handling but anyhow let me recheck again.

thank you once again for your quick response and clarification.
