[X-Newbies] Mail Lost an E-mail Item

[Al Poulin]

Can my ISP remove an e-mail item from Mail?  I am using Mail 1.3.9 with 
Panther 10.3.7.

Last night, I told my wife that she had an e-mail that she should look 
at.  I opened it to tell her what it said.  Today, 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 is 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 today.

Thank you,

Al Poulin
