Email vanishes before I can even read it...

I have a serious problem. Been on-going and I haven't found a solution yet.


Incoming email that is vanishing before I can even read it.


Numerous times oI've noticed incoming email notifications on on the pop up notification window on the upper righthand of the screen. I can see who the email is from and the first sentence or so.


But when I go to Apple Mail the email(s) aren't there.


I've checked the junk folder, trash folder even my mailbox on icloud and no email. As if it never happened.


For example I just paid my credit card bill online. I saw an immediate Apple Mail notification from my CC company confirming payment. But when I check Apple Mail the email never made it to my box. Not a sign of it - anywhere.


I go to Apple mail -- no email.


I'm having the same problem with several other incoming accounts. The emails simply refuse to show up in Apple Mail.


Is this a known issue? It's also happening across my synced computers and the ipad. None of them show certain emails showing up.


I use Spam Sieve to manage spam. But it doesn't seem to matter if I uninstall it or if its running or not.


It caused a serious problem a while back. A business associate claimed he had emailed me a dozen times about a project. I would check - no emails anyhere. I finally had him do a test. I would be on the phone and he would push send. I would see the notification come up showing it had arrived. But nothing in Apple Mail. It's driving me crazy. I have no idea how many email addresses are affected.
