Are unread emails deleted after 60 days?

I just noticed that there is a table on the Cox website depicting how long emails are kept:

http://www.cox.com/residential/support/internet/article.cox?articleId=4e311ca0-d674-11e5-f852-000000000000#related-articles

..and it says that unread emails will be deleted after 60 days. Is this true? Because if it is, it's the first time I have heard of it and I was never told this previously. I know they just started deleting emails from Trash after 2 days so i am wondering if this is a new policy and if so, are they actually enforcing it?

Thanks,

Rob from AZ

    Not a new policy, Rob. I've seen a discussion on this dated 2011 on DSLR. As to if Cox is enforcing it, I don't know, I never leave anything in the inbox unread for more then a couple days. There are also threads about this in this forum, here is one dated Oct 2015.

    This policy applies to unread items left in the main Inbox folder. Any emails marked as read or moved to a personal folder are not deleted automatically.
