Emails disappearing on Mac Mail

Hi

Could someone please help me - my emails are disappearing from my inbox after a few days and I have no idea why? - I've checked my mail preferences and i have not set them to be deleted (they're not in my trash folder anyway) - they've disappeared altogether - I have set up my email accounts on my iphone as well - and they also disappear

A bit of context - I have two email accounts - one personal and one business one - emails from both accounts are disappearing on my home desktop - however they do no disappear on my work mac

any help would be really appreciated - thanks!

Ouch.

Have you run Disk Utility's Disk First Aid on all connected drives?

In Disk Utility>View, select Show all Devices, highlight the top left entry.

Run Disk First Aid on all items in the left panel, from top down.

Are you running any VPN, Anti-Virus, or Cleaning apps?

We need to see what all is running, a report from this will not display any personal info...
