I did check that archive folder. There were only 3 very old emails in it. While I was trying to dig into this, found another problem. My outlook email account is somehow linked with a gmail account. I wondered if it is a compatible issue between microsoft and google product. While I was trying to remove the linked gmail account, the setting does not allow me do that. Could you please help me take a look. Thank you VasilMichev

That's simply representing the option to add a Gmail account, you don't seem to have any added though. And since this also means you are using an outlook.com account, my initial suspicion about Online Archive doesn't apply.

Check your Deleted Items/Recover Delete items container, and also try searching for one of the missing messages as they might simply be moved to a different folder.
