Hello Listers. I put this question on another list over a week ago
but received no answers.
Can my ISP remove an e-mail item from Mail? I am using Mail 1.3.9
with Panther 10.3.7.
One day, I told my wife that she had an e-mail that she should look
at. I opened it to tell her what it said. The next day, she went to
look for it in the Inbox. It is not there, we can't find it anywhere.
The Trash does not have it. I did not move it into any folders and
I'm sure I did not label it Junk.
I went to the cox.net web mail page for the account. The missing
e-mail was not there either, although the preference is set to remove
copy from server after one week. The only scenario I can speculate is
that the ISP's server lost the e-mail and then removed it from the
Mail Inbox when we downloaded e-mail the next day.
Thank you,
Al Poulin

If you are using "OS X" 10.3.x then your email is saved in your "user
library" in the "Mail" directory under a heading
"[EMAIL PROTECTED] and sometimes this information can become
corrupted.
Therefor you should use the "Mailbox Rebuild" function in mail to see
if you can recover your lost email.
I've found that the best way is to quit "Mail" if you happen to be
using it, then restart the application. Next before doing anything
else, run the "Mailbox Rebuild" function and then again quit "Mail",
Next restart the "Mail" application and when "Mail" starts you should
see a message stating that files are being indexed. And if you click on
the spinning ball on the right-hand side in the message bar you will
get a new window that tells you what is happening. Another way to see
what is happening is to select "Activity Viewer" from the "Mail"
menu-bar or you can use the "command - o" function to activate the
"Activity Viewer" window.
I'm sure that there will be disagreement with this procedure, but
that's to be expected as everyone has their own ideas. But this has
worked for me.
