You can also check your messages on the server right in Mail
itself. So, in this case, you could check your server from your
MacBook, to see if the messages are still there before you try
checking them with your Mini...
I believe you can do this from your accounts tab in Mail prefs, and
there is info on it in Mail help in deleting messages on a server...

Hi there Jed and all,
Do you have the ability to use a webmail service to check your
account. This shows you what is on the server. So, therefore if
there are no messages showing on your webmail account then one
computer is deleting them off the server. If they are there - then
you know that it must be a setting you have wrong somewhere. I know
this sounds stupid but have you checked the punctuation of your
account information - perhaps you have put a comma in where there is
meant to be a full-stop or something like that.
What about if you shut down mail on your macbook and not check it -
will your mac mini pick up the mail then?
If you don't have the ability to check your webmail - you can ring
your ISP and ask them to tell you what messages are on the server.
Have you also checked the settings in the mac mini? Perhaps there is
something that says don't check email for this account or something.
Let us know how you get on.
From Penny
