Thank you Susan, I recently had the same thing done to my MacBookPro17".
Could be that, I was trying to be good and reduce used space on the drive. spring clean and all that. So, I should look for the setting about removing the messages from the server. Bigpond must love me if I have 92 000 messages sitting there, I thought they were removed after downloading or after a specified period. Time to check preferences. The Samsung SSD 1Tb is making a big difference in performance, even in this old beastie. :-) Thank You Daniel if you're 'listening'.

I have three email accounts and have just set up my Macbook Pro after Daniel put an SSD drive in it. It took many hours for all the messages to sync to my computer. I like to keep them because every now and then I need to search for something and it’s a big relief when I find it. cheers, Susan.
