This of course is a problem with administrators who do not know what they are doing. There is no reason on earth why a mailserver should be set up to delete anymail not specifically addressed to that site. Also closer to home a lot of ISP's are deleting spam at the server because their customers are complaining about getting it. But that means your ISP is determining what is spam. I have had important personal e-mail disappear because of that.

The more I think about it, the more I think at least some of the missing messages are running afoul of the spam filters that most ISPs have in place these days. I know that the filters inside my network (after the mail passes through my ISP) sometimes get flagged as junk, here, but I have my filter set up to tag them but not delete them, so I still see them.
So I think it might be useful for the folks that are missing lots of messages to log directly into their ISP account settings, and see what's lying around in the SPAM folder, or wherever their ISP puts email flagged as spam. If that's actually what's happening, then you can often click on the display of flagged messages and click some button to tell the system "this message isn't spam". After a while, depending on the individual spam filter and it's settings, it will stop flagging PDML messages as spam.
