why do I sometimes see thousands of incoming mail?

Sometimes my mail seems to randomly lose its place with my GoDaddy email server and I look down at the mail activity box and it shows that I have thousands of incoming email. Sometimes when this happens my inbox tied to this account is empty...sometimes it is not. Is this normal?


Here is a screenshot of what that looks like:

I am having the same issue.. thousands of incoming messages under the mail activity header on the lower left of mail. I mean THOUSANDS. And I can't find any of them. All of the messages are current or empty in each mailbox and I have reset everything where it won't archive or save anything. I have no idea whats causing it. Very strange. It continuously does this through out the day. But where are these emails? They aren't in my inbox, trash, archives, etc. of any of my mailboxes. Has anyone solved this yet?

Thanks, Susan
