Ok Ronni, I did find one setting unchecked and reset that. Mail has a lot of folders which seem to repeat Gmail. There's a folder in MAILBOXES for inbox, drafts, sent, junk, trash and archive. All of these gave Gmail sub folders. Then this seems to be all repeated in a GMAIL folder when I scroll down. Until now at least, I had to open these to make sure that I hadn't missed any mail incoming. Fingers crossed it won't happen again. Cheers Marcus
