Subject: Disappearance of mails from Inbox after reading

For the last one month my emails disappear after reading from the Inbox
folder eventhough not deleted by me.
Actually after reading the mail it remains in the folder for that day but
next day it just disappears and if there is no new mail the inbox shows 0
messages.
I don't know why this is happening. I am capturing the mails in a log so
it doesn't make much difference but  I still wonder why this problem has
cropped up all of a sudden. I have been using Pine for emails since
October 1995 and had no problem whatsoever.
Solutions and suggestions are welcome and will be appreciated.
Thanks 
Trupti

Go to your config setup and look at the item called
	Read-Message-Folder
If there is a folder name beside that (and I'll bet there
is) that is the folder where you will find all the
mysteriously disappearing messages.

Since you have a VSNL account and if you are using any dial-up software,
at your unix prompt, type

sz /usr/spool/mail/<put your userid here>

This will download your mail to your computer and you won't have to
keep capturing it to any log or file.

I download all my mail daily this way and even have a program that renames 
the downloaded mail file to match the current date. 

I archive most of my mail this way.

Try looking in the MAIN MENU>SETUP>CONFIG.

When in there look for an item called 'enable-cruise-mode' and one called
'enable-cruise-mode-delete'.  See the help pages for these.  Be careful if
they are both turned on.  This will do what you are talking about.  
Also the e[X]punge (get rid of) function without a prompt could be a 
dangerous combination.  This will point you in the right direction.
