why do emails disappear from inbox thunderbird

There are now several of these emails from today, that are there on the webserver but not showing up on my Desktop Thunderbird (yes It is set up for imap).Īny ideas? this is scary that some of my emails are just disappearing. the curious thing is that thunderbird can find them in the global search not from inside the folder where they actually are. I notice other messages are missing too, they are there on my phone/aquamail and not on my desktop/thunderbird. When I view the same account on my android phone (with AquaMail) the messages are right there in the inbox like they should be. when I click on 'show in containing folder' it goes to the inbox but it's not there. however, it says they are in the Inbox, and they are not.

I had to do the big global search (through all the email accounts) and that was able to find the messages. I have it set up to keep my replies in a thread in the inbox. I've been able to access the previous email by going to my sent box and finding the email that I sent as a response with the original in the new email. I wanted to go back and read it again and I couldn't find it. I would notice every now and then when I would reply to an email the original email would disappear from my inbox and I can not find it under any of my folders. Today I got an email from someone and answered it.
