Disappearing Messages
 

In the Local folders, I created a JUNK folder for junk messages leaving the
IN Box for good messages and created a mail rule for certain incoming
messages to be moved to JUNK. After 5 good messages came into the In Box, I
checked to see if there were any in the JUNK folder. Whenever I returned to
the In Box, one message had disappeared from the In Box leaving 4. Well,
whenever I left the In Box to check the other folders again, JUNK, Out, Sent,
Deleted, etc and returned to the In Box, there were now only 3 messages left.
I could not find them in any of the other folders and after returning to the
In Box, another message had disappeared leaving only 2 in the In Box. When I
continued this away, all the messages had disappeared, one at a time. I,
then, deleted the JUNK folder. New messages arriving in the In Box no longer
disappeared when I examined other folders.

While in the Inbox: View | Current View. Make sure Show All Messages,
(only), is checked. It sounds like Hide Read Messages has been accidentally
checked.
