Hi Tim Thank you for your email. I would have said quite confidently that all accounts were POP but further checking shows this is not so.
My MBP shows iCloud as IMAP and iinet as POP. Likewise on my Mac Mini. In both cases the iCloud account is highlighted. The iPad is a bit more difficult and is showing iinet for both accounts and outgoing mail server as STMP. I’m not sure the implication of this and could be where the problem lies. Re your query about trashed emails, I have checked and yes they had been trashed on my MBP. I have also just noticed that several emails received from WAMUG yesterday on my MacMini have not been received on the MBP which is of real concern. Now I am totally confused. Thanks again for your interest.
