Hi,

Try these steps: Click the folder where e-mails are missing/disappearing > click Menu Bar>> View > Show or Hide > Show all messages.

Hope this helps.
Please reply if you have any further questions.

Ok. I did what you said and it still does it but i found out something else. I didnt have a trash icon. I made one and clicked on it and all my emails are there. Do you know how i can stop them from being put into the trash folder?
Thanks
John

Emails in Trash Folder

John,

Thank you for the response.
Check if there are any message rules assigned to the emails such as 'Delete It' (refer to the image) : Image

Also, are you using a POP3 account or an IMAP account?

Thanks and Regards,
