lost mail

I have a mac powerbook (10.3.9) and use the mail programme for all (4) of my email accounts. These are yahoo accounts, which download via POP to the mail programme and are each stored in their own separate mailbox on my powerbook. I noticed the other day that they messages in my "normal" email account on the powerbook i.e the account I use the most, had suddenly decreased - from around 10 000 messages to 400 messages. The oldest message I now have stored on my powerbook is a message from September 12th 2006; all previous emails have disappeared (they used to go back to 2001). I haven't changed any setting or preference on either my powerbook or on my Yahoo account options page. But it now seems that I have lost many emails. How can I recover them?
 
Hey - I'm currently struggling with my own lost mail problem so don't know how much I can help :( - but I did spot something about mailbox sizes getting too big causing your problem when searching for a solution to my issue

In mail try going to the help / mail help and type in 'mail' or paste: 'Why have all the messages in my mailbox disappeared?'

Hope this helps:)
 
Are you sure that you don't have anything selected in Mail prefs to delete old messages? Are the messages in the Mail trash, or system trash?
