For no apparent reason my emails in my inbox just disappear it could be after an hour or a day but invariably the disappear but remain on my iPhone and Mac
All software is up to date
Other email accounts set up the same way are ok ie pop3
Any ideas as this seems a common issue but talk about IMAP but can't see why when other email accounts configured the same don't have this issue.
This sounds like an Internet Accounts sync issue. POP3 really is outdated... What provider are you with? Let's try and get you setup with IMAP. If you really don't want to - try removing your account and then re-adding it. You can do this from within Mail > Preferences > Accounts
Go on tell me what to do with IMAP then, I take it I will have to do this again on my Mac and iPhone?
If your iPhone and iPad are working fine, I see no reason to alter them. Who's the email provider?
This may help if you do not want to or can not switch to IMAP...
Using a POP account with more than one device - Apple Support
FWIW if you configure one device for POP3 and others for IMAP or vice versa it's possible the email will will not be synchronized and you may lose emails. It's better to use all IMAP ( if your ISP supports that) or all POP3.

Ok, go into the iPad Settings > Mail, Contacts and Calendars. Add a new account > Other > Add Mail Accounts
Enter your name, email, email password, and in the description - Karoo IMAP
Under incoming mail server...
Host Name - imap.karoo.co.uk
Enter your email and password again
Outgoing...
smtp.karoo.co.uk
Then, tap advanced. Under incoming settings...
SSL = off
Server port = 143
Now press done to save everything, you may get an error, that's fine.
Then, in your accounts list, tap your new Karoo IMAP account. In the box that opens, tap the SMTP menu (under outgoing mail server). Tap smtp.karoo.co.uk
Outgoing mail server is 25 & SS: should be off. Enter your email and password again.
Once this is done, you'll be accessing your email via the much better IMAP! It should resolve the issue ;-)
As Sooner Al says, it would be wise to replicate this on your other devices but not compulsarary.
