Loss of e-mails

I don't believe it is an interface adjustment. I have used the same settings since I purchased the computer over a year ago including the Monterey update. This e-mail disappearance appears to be a one-time occurrence. It is working properly now although I remember this happening once some time ago. I just would like to recover the mail that I lost and I had no luck using Time Machine.

OK—thanks for quantifying the issue. One-off's are near impossible to justify a remedial action beyond a simple reboot; write it off as a glitch.

It is not a perfect science.

Depending on your email provider, and how you have the server side set up— you may be able to log in your account through a web browser— and see if a copy of your' missing' email is there on the server side.

that is the complete email—san the link at the bottom: Use Mail Privacy Protection on Mac - Apple Support

The screens shots/red circles point to where you move you mouse to reveal the carrots/drop downs/+ signs / all to add or make changes within the mail side bar, in an effort to resolve the issue if it is simple an interface adjustment on your part.

Mail>Preferences should be self explanatory ...

All the e-mails in the All Inboxes tab just disappeared this evening. I checked my iPhone, iCloud, This happened once before gmail and aol and they are gone from those sites as well. I tried to restore using Time Machine but you cannot just restore "Mail". There is a maze of entries that are listed with no obvious way of determining what they mean. This is the second time this happened on my MacBook Pro. The first time I never recovered the mail. I am using OS Monterey. I am not sure what the OS was the first time. I notice that I am not the first to report this problem.
