Why did my question disappear from the Community?

I submitted a question to the Community 2 days ago about all of my Apple mail being deleted (but not in trash) after I opened Apple mail app. It is also not in the cloud.


Now it appears that my question has disappeared as well.


Please advise.


Thank you.

It is not clear what happened to your previous question of 2 days ago. The terms of use for this site are available here, but nothing can be determined without seeing the post:

For the question about your Apple Mail being deleted:

  • What is the email provider?
  • Is this your Apple Account email?
  • Have you went to Mail > Settings > Accounts, and then chose Mailbox Behaviors for the Account. This shows how long the deleted emails will remain in the trash and on the server.

Thank you for your very speedy reply.


I will resubmit a question if I cannot resolve the issue myself but it happened when I changed a rule in Apple mail (from the app) and then all of the mail in my inbox disappeared.


However the items (most of them) have suddenly shown up in the mailbox which the rule was targeting. The additional result is that many of the mail items had been archived but they all seem to have moved to this single mailbox. Nothing went to the trash and some of my rules disappeared so I am planning to delete the mail account locally and add it back as has been suggested in Remove or temporarily turn off email accounts in Mail on Mac - Apple Support


Thanks again for your help.
