So's mine, then, I guess--you mean some offer more than that?!

Are they decorated with the little trash-can icon? If so, they're marked
as "deleted", but not physically removed ("expunged"). You can expunge
them manually (Mailbox => Expunge...), or use pref options to have them
expunged when you close the mailbox or after a set period of inactivity.
You can also hide them until they're expunged, with either a pref option
or the Mailbox => Hide messages menu.
If they're not marked as deleted, we have a bigger problem!

OK, that's weird! If the ISP shows your inbox as empty, where can Balsa
be downloading them from?

Messages are filtered when they're first seen in a folder ("recent")--is
it possible that they're marked as no longer recent by some other agent?

Nah, shouldn't be necessary--I don't recall any recent bugfixes that
relate to any of these issues. Could you check what version was installed?
