Why do my e-mails appear and then disappear soon after (5 mins) from
this forum ?
 
These are not emails. They are newsgroup postings and depending on
which Usenet newsgroup server you are using, they may only be "stored"
locally for a few minutes. If you are using your local Internet
Service Provider (ISP) provided newsgroup server, they have set up
their server to keep them locally for a very short period. If you want
to see your postings after they have disappeared from your ISP's
server, check on Google Groups or use Microsoft's public newsgroup
server (msnews.microsoft.com)

They don't for me at least.

Check the settings in your usenet client. Try another client?
 
I am using msnews.microsoft.com as the newsgroup server. However, my
postings do sometimes re-appear.
