Many possible reasons.

  • Are you reading these emails on another device, that could possibly have the account configured as POP (removing messages from the server) instead of IMAP (keeping messages on the server)?
  • Do you have some text in the search field at the top right of the window?
  • Is your account properly configured and activated in Mail's Settings?
  • Is this a new situation? Is this a new computer or has it started after a software update?
