Mac Mail deleting mail older than 1 month old

Mac Mail is deleting mail, from my Inbox, after 1 month old. I can't find the settings for deletion or archiving. I have not selected archiving either. Any ideas?

Thanks

Yup, in troubleshooting the Inbox mail disappearing I had changed the mailbox behaviours turning off the Trash mailbox. Thanks for that. Since I restored the old mail from Time Machine I have not lost any mail in the Inbox. I don't know if it is fixed, fixed but I will consider this solved for now.

Thanks all for your help.
