Why does my inbox keep deleting emails?

I have the strangest thing happening. When I switch folders to view other
emails, my inbox will delete all read emails. Actually, I can't verify they
have been deleted as I cannot find them anywhere! Can anyone shed some light
for me as to what is going on?

Thanks for the help!
 
While viewing the Inbox, go to View, Current view, Show all messages.
That setting is sticky, and you can also have a selection box for that function
near the upper right corner of the main window.
 
Thank you SO much Gary. I thought I was losing my mind. That was so
amazing. Again thank you for taking the time to help me out, it was greatly
appreacited!

Hi

I am having a similar issue where Outlook 2007 is automatically deleting my
emails. When I see "delete" I mean it is removing them from the inbox and
placing them in the deleted folder. I have always had archiving turned on,
but about 2 weeks ago the emails suddenly started to be randomly deleted.
Some emails get deleted/moved to the deleted folders while others don't. It
deletes emails that I have read and even emails that I have not read. There
isn't a pattern because I can get emails from the same person and some will
get deleted while others won't. My IT administrator told me to add people to
the safe senders list under junk email, but that doesn't make sense to me
because the emails are not going into the junk email folder at all. They are
going straight to the deleted folder. Although the emails are not being
permanently deleted, it is a little disconcerting to have to keep checking my
deleted folder to see if I have any "new" emails or to have to move emails
that I never manually deleted back into my inbox.

Can you help?
