Hello Luther,
This one was quite difficult to understand.


For both of my mail accounts, I have the Mailbox Behaviors for erasing deleted messages set to 'never'.

Is this for a pop or an imap account? No other setting related to message deletion?


A couple of weeks ago I noticed that all messages in my Mail trash has disappeared except for 'today' and 'yesterday'.

What do you mean by 'today' and 'yesterday'? Intelligent (or clever; don't know the exact translation) mailboxes? Mail rules? Or?

And did you have the opportunity to look at what possibly happened on the server side?


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)

And how did that script modify maibox behaviors? I guess we can't guess without some help of yours... ;-)


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.)

Seems to be related to Mail's general preference: search into trash mailbox as well.



Has anyone experienced a similar problem with messages erasing from the Trash when it should not?

No, not here. Unless some overlooked setting is acting (depending on the account type, deletion doesn't necessarily happen immediately, so as to allow the user to undo some erroneous action).



Does anyone know what 'IndexTrash' is?

See above.

Axel
