Emails come in and then immediately vanish from my inbox..Anyone got any idea?Just a wild guess, but if Android is using IMAP, but another PC or something is using POP3 (where emails are collected and deleted from the server) then you might see this behavior. If this is the case, I suggest upgrading your desktop client to IMAP.
Guest degriz Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) good point...the only desktop client I have is thunderbird portable which is set to never delete. Hmm I`d best check the machines on my desk and make sure Ive not left anything running.. ^^ Saying that though, if that were the case, surely they wouldnt show up on my phone at all?

So it's completely possible for your phone to see it before your POP3 retrieves and deletes it. Also, if your desktop solution uses IMAP and you do filtering (spam or otherwise) in the email client instead of server-side rules, then you will also see things appear briefly in your inbox then disappear.
