Mail behaving badly

Can anyone help

Mail is automatically moving messages one by one from my Mail Inbox folder to the Mail Trash folder. If I delete the message from the Trash folder then the next Inbox message is moved automatically to the Trash. I have been using the Menu/Mailbox/Delete All Messages command without realising what was happening and so have lost a great number of Inbox messages

I am using iMac(PowerPC), Mac OS 10.4.7, Mail 2.1, POP mail account.
 
Check your Mail/Preferences. Click on your account, then the Mailbox Behaviours tab. Check that the trash setting is what you want.

Check for any rules that you may have set up.

If you find nothing out of the ordinary, you should check the trash first, before automatically choosing to delete mail.
 
You might also need to rebuild your mail boxes. It would be best for you to back up your Mail folder first before rebuilding. To rebuild a mailbox, highlight the mailbox and choose "Rebuild" from the "Mailbox" menu. You'll probably want to do this with every mailbox.
