I also had a mail provider that deleted mails only for the client that deleted them- which was not of a problem as I had two computers and a cellphone back then and if I failed to delete the mail on one of them it still used part of the small mailbox size they gave me. One day my mail provider repaired this bug. Which means: If the problem is the server it might not disappear if you switch the mail client.
--- Another idea: Do you use the Thunderbird on you desktop PC? I once had strange results in k8 and they disappeared after I told my Thunderbird to rebuild its inbox'es database (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/rebuilding-global-database).
