My emails download from the server and then 10 minutes later they are gone, nowhere to be found. Why?

Matt! Thanks for the help. A device was set to pop3 pulling emails. I reset the password and that was the cure.

You rock - Thanks

Are you using IMAP? It sounds like on the second synchronization (at 10 minute intervals) Thunderbird is not connecting to the server.

Do you have an email scanner in your anti virus program? What happens if you turn it off.
