If it's POP mail then the message gets downloaded directly to your computer.
So if the emails appear on the laptop, and then disappear, then I don't
think this can be a server problem.
I'm not familiar with how Mail works. If it uses a file system, then
disappearing messages implies a flaky hard disk.
If it uses a database, disappearing messages implies a flaky database -
which /may/ be related to a flaky hard disk.
I'd be running disk utility and a hardware test. Boot up with the d key
pressed - I hope I remembered this correctly!
Can you google 'repair mail mailbox' or similar?
Hope this gets you started.

Our service provider is Zetta net, formerly Highway1, and we have been
with them for many years. We use Mac Mail and I believe it to be a
POP account. It seems only to be happening on the lap top. we receive
mail also on desktop, iPhone and iPad. Deleting on the iPhone deletes
from the server, but this doesn't affect those already downloaded and
these are the ones going missing and as far as I know only from the
laptop.
I hope that helps,

Before Ronni gets in :-), what email client are you using, and
what service provider?
The harder to answer question is what email delivery mechanism you
are using? Is it POP or IMAP. You might need to look at your
account settings to answer this...

Good Morning,
My husband uses a Logitech wireless mouse M525 with his Mac
Laptop Version OS X 10.5.8. Lately he has complained of losing
emails he does not believe he has deleted and which do not appear
in trash. Yesterday when I was trying to help (!), had my hand
on the mouse and the highlighted email disappeared, was not in
trash and I had to recover it from Time Machine. I have not
found a solution on Google.
I have looked at the archives and also tried Google without
finding anything relevant.
Does anyone have any suggestions, please?
Many thanks,
Jennifer
