Messages do not necessarily "just disapeared into nowhere!" - they are just hiding from you - unless you have a filter set to delete messages, rather than moving them. If you do not have filters that delete messages, then, you need to go looking for the missing messages, like looking for chook nests, to find the eggs, when the chooks run free.
It was weird because Alpine was showing 7 emails and Fastmail webmail was only showing 5. I must of accidently "s" back to the inbox or something and it caused a double copy of the email. I do keep my web browser open and I check the Fastmail website after I "s" archives2024 just to make sure that the email really got copied to that folder. I am just nervous using IMAP, like I said in that private email to you yesterday, I've used POP3 all of these years and this is the first time I've used IMAP in a longggg time.
I've always used POP because I keep EVERYTHING, I hardly ever delete an email. I've had to have Alpine make me a trash bin called "trashed" because when you hit "d" in Alpine, it doesn't move the email to the fastmail trash can, it just perm deletes them.
Then I told fastmail's website to empty that "trashed" folder every 60 days.
I tried to set my account up as POP3, but I couldn't figure out how to get ALPINE to connect, it just kept saying " UNEXPECTED ERROR POP SERVER SAID +SERVER READY" or something to that effect.
