THANK YOU!!!!!  I don't know how all that happened but there were a ton of filters in that area so I deleted them all.

I never would have found that. 

I've searched the forums for answers but nothing similar comes up.  A few days ago my mail started this weird issue.  I open pmail and it says it's downloading my new mail from the server...but then they never actually show up in the new mail folder.  I've received 2 in the last few days of what was over 45 emails downloaded.  I've checked all setting they are the same as before, they are not in a junk folder or any other folder.  I have the latest update and tried to install a new copy of pmail...any suggestions

tks 

Ok found that they are not missing but going directly to the deleted messages folder....don't know how that happened....please let me know what I need to do to change that routing...tks

There is a filter in place that is routing them to the deleted messages folder.

 Check...

Tools > Mail filtering rules > Edit new mail filtering rules > Rules applied when folder is open

and

With your folder window active (has focus):  Folders > Manage Autofilter folders
