Disappearing Mail Trash


  • Subject: Disappearing Mail Trash
  • From: Luther Fuller <email@hidden>

For both of my mail accounts, I have the Mailbox Behaviors for erasing deleted messages set to 'never'. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that all messages in my Mail trash has disappeared except for 'today' and 'yesterday'. I feared that this may have been caused by testing a script that modified mailbox Behaviors, so I have not since run that script. The script did seem to be working correctly, however. (OS X 10.6.1 and Mail 4.1)

Nevertheless, every few days, at about mid-day, everything in Trash except 'today' and 'yesterday' is erased. (Fortunately, I do backup everyday.)

I have checked the preference file "com.apple.mail.plist", but found no problem.
(Except there is a key 'IndexTrash' = true whose meaning I don't know.)


Has anyone experienced a similar problem with messages erasing from the Trash when it should not?
Does anyone know what 'IndexTrash' is?
