Suddenly the mail is getting lost between the server and the inbox. It shows mail messages on the server and shows the mail coming in, but when it shows the messages received they are not in the Inbox or anywhere else for that matter. This is on my wife's machine. Imac 350 OSX 10.2.8, Mac Mail 1.2.5. Just for kicks I tried to move a message from trash to Inbox and it disappeared as well.
Not sure exactly what's happening, but we've now seen this on three different Macs, Apple Mail 1.x and 2.x. Sometimes quitting and relaunching Mail fixes. Sometimes rebooting fixes. Checking permissions reveils nothing amiss. Repairing the drive finds no errors.
In the short term, set it to leave emails on the server for at least a month. That way you have time to re-retrieve the lost messages.
I haven't found any definate fixes. Our solution is to switch those Macs to use Eudora.
