Emails in my inbox disappear periodically

Can anyone tell me how to prevent my emails from disappearing from my inbox on my iphone? its a work phone so not sure if its the phone, AT&T service, or my work server.

Your computer is likely configured to remove messages from the server after it gets them, so when the iPhone checks for those messages, they're gone.
Check the information in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3228 to see if your email client is listed.

Are you not getting your portrait and landscape mixed up?
Yes! I guess it's too early in the morning for my brain. So sorry, folks! Please ignore my previous answer.
In portrait mode, you can make the inbox disappear either by swiping to the left on the open email or by tapping on the Inbox button.

HT5361 Using 10.8.5 - mail requires that I trash emails up to six times before they disappear. Trashed emails reappear in Inbox every time I open my MacBook Pro or when a new batch of emails comes in. Anybody have a solution?

The text has disappeared from my emails in my inbox. What can I do to get the text back?

Try closing the Mail app via the taskbar and see if the email text shows when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't fix it they try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Why do my read email in my Inbox keep disappearing???

Every few days or so, whenever I re-boot my computer for whatever reason, all of the emails I've gotten disappear from my INBOX... Everything else is there except for the emails in my INBOX... It's happened about a half a dozen times now... All of the settings for my email appear to be as they should be... I'm at a loss as to what the problem is... I see that others have had this problem also and none of the suggestions offered seem to be of any help... If you could help, I would appreciate it...

what have you tried already?

Emails in inbox disappear after an hour or so

I am a new Blackberry user and not very tech savy- pretty much clueless. I have a Curve 8330. My emails come in on my Blackberry, but they only stay there an hour or two and then just fall off and disappear. This is my second Curve in about a month doing the same thing- Cellular South(my cellular provider) could not figure it out so they gave me a new. I have had several more proficient Blackberry users try to fix it- no luck. My email provider can't figure it out either.
According to others looking at my phone for me- it is not a memory problem.  We are talking very low volume of emails- 3 to 15. It seems to be more about time, but even that is not consistent.
It does not delete emails that I have sent or forwarded- received messages are only deleted.
I get all incoming emails on my desktop and Blackberry. Emails stay on my desktop, but fall off my blackberry.
Email provider deleted an unread email off of the server- it deleted off of my desktop, but did not delete off my Blackberry.
Another thing is that the last two Fridays after 4:00 in the afternoon my emails stayed in inbox for Friday afternoon, Saturday and Sunday- then on Monday when I got my first email they all fell off.
Please help.

Hi there!
Plenty of possibilities...start with these:

Also check your email configuration...with any message list displayed:
BBKey > Options > General Options
Make sure that the very last setting is set however you want. This will affect how long an email is kept on the BB.
You also might try deleting and re-creating the BIS conduit for this email account...it sounds like something is just not right and sometimes this process helps clear it up.
Hopefully something there will help.

Emails in inbox disappear from ipad2

For some reason, after I look at an email from my inbox, it disappears without my doing anything to it. Sometimes I find it in the trash, other times it's just gone. I've checked the mail settings and the always ask before delete button is set to on. So why is my iPad doing this and how can I stop it?

Some other device is accessing your mailbox besides the iPad. Do you check your mail in your computer? Do you share your mail account with someone else?
If in doubt, change the account password in the email server and just the iPad, so you can determine where else is the account being accessed. Note also that Exchange or Outlook mail accounts have a Mail Days to Sync setting; if set to something different than No Limit, mail older than the specified number of days will no longer be visible, although it still is in the server.

Emails in my inbox keep disappearing or somehow getting deleted!

Is this happening to anyone else? I KNOW I had 9 emails in my inbox this morning (all were read, I just wasn't ready to delete them yet), but now, this afternoon, only 4 of the emails are still in my inbox. I didn't delete any of them, and they aren't in my trash or any other folders. They are just GONE. Any else???
Thanks,
Sarah

...and I also checked my Yahoo email from my PC at home, and the emails are mysteriously gone from there as well..

New email in IMAP inbox doesn't show up in Mail.app - must quit & relaunch

I have a 24" iMac 2.33GHz running OS 10.5.7, with several user accounts on the machine. on my account (the main admin account), Mail seems to work just fine.
but on a couple other accounts, although Mail.app correctly shows new IMAP email in the inbox immediately upon launch, it doesn't always seem to notice new mail that arrives on the server later, AFTER the initial launch.
That is, whether the user later presses the Get Mail button or waits for Mail to periodically check for email (preference set to check every minute), it thereafter never shows any new mail arriving in the Inbox - this is even when I know for certain that there are unread new messages sitting in the inbox of the IMAP server (e.g. by confirming separately via webmail interface or via iPhone, but of course leaving the new message unread). This means the user who leaves Mail running in the background all day may never realize he has new email, Mail.app keeps showing no new mail unless he happens to quit and restart Mail later.
I believe this problem only started recently, perhaps after one of the recent system updates - I can't say for sure, but we only noticed this recently. And as I mentioned, I don't see this behaviour on my main account, I see new emails immediately. Also I use Mail.app on a different MacBook Pro and have never observed this behaviour - it is just on my iMac.
another observation, since the problem occurs on some accounts but not mine - I tried deleting the user's com.apple.mail.plist file and reconfiguring the offending account, in case a corrupted preference file was the culprit. but afterwards the problem remained so that doesn't seem to be it.
anyone else seen this or have a fix?
thanks in advance.

I'm seeing the same behavior on a couple of the iMacs in our office. Do you know what mail server software you're using? I'm trying to figure out if it's a problem with the server software, using IMAP rather than POP3, or if it's Mail.
We're using Kerio Mail Server. Several of us have been using IMAP for over a year and had no problems. The two who are having problems also have thousands of messages in their Inbox whereas the rest of us never have more than a couple hundred.

Email in Exchange inbox are getting deleted

Hi
Email in Exchange inbox are getting deleted automatically.
I could see my mails received in my Inbox and immediately getting disappeared.
Is there any possible way to find the how these are getting deleted.
Thanks
Santosh

Hi Santosh,
From your description, I recommend you disable the POP3 feature on the problematic mailbox to determine whether the issue is related to POP3 account.
If the issue persists, please move this problematic mailbox to another mailbox database and check the result.
Hope it helps.
Best regards,

ALL my emails in my inbox are deleted when I compact . . WHY ???

''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1033560 /questions/1033560]''
mozilla ask me if I want to compact, I click yes . . Then, ALL my emails in my inbox are deleted when I compact . . WHY ???

Any time mail disappears from the server, there's a pretty good chance there's some device pulling it off. This can happen even without you intending it to. For example, the default Verizon setup for a long time (and possibly still) configured Outlook automatically unless you were paying attention and unchecked the box during the install.
The easiest way to fix it is to change your password. Once the device(s) can no longer authenticate, the disappearances should stop.

Old email dissapeared in Inbox

This morning all my past emails in my Inbox had disappeared. I can view all these messages on my computer but all I had this morning was a blank screen with no emails in the Inbox. I'm receiving messages fine today but the feature of the 50 past emails doesn't seem to be working I have checked the settings and the 50 recent messages is checked.
Has anyone seen or experience the same issue.
Any help would greatly be appreciated

I use Verizon web mail and nothing is ever deleted from my Inbox unless I delete it. I have windows XP and Internet Explorer 8. Only my trash is deleted by Verizon. All of my other folders stay intact,
