Why does my Yahoo mail delete messages from my inbox that were not asked to be deleted?

Lately, when I go to check my email, there have been nearly all my messages in my inbox that have disappeared. I did not delete these on my own and it is frustrating because there were messages that I needed to retrieve that are now gone. What is the deal with this?

    Hi,

    I found this in What's New In Mail:

    We’re wrapping up a few remaining compatibility issues between Yahoo! Mail Beta and the new Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 Beta, and we’ll open up our Beta to their Beta towards the end of this month. Folks on the bleeding edge, please sit tight!

    ______________________________...

    Yahoo mail is experiencing a glitch. I haven't found a fix for it yet In the mean-time inform Yahoo! of the problem: http://add.yahoo.com/fast/help/us/mail/c...

    For those who can't get in at all try this as it seems to be working for a few.

    http://myyahoo.com/

    Login on My Yahoo! page

    Select the link at top right to go to Yahoo!'s Home Page.

    Mouse over the Mail Icon under where it says (Hi, your Yahoo! id).

    You should get a drop down menu with your latest emails displayed.

    Select an email and click it. You then get to a new page about Shortcuts, but just select the button for Mail and it should take you to your Mail page.

    It wasn't getting redirected to the shortcuts page on some servers and not going to the mail page.

    I hope this helps some until Yahoo! Mail gets a fix for us.

    This is also working for some:

    Click the "Options" link in the upper right of your Mail page.

    On the Options page, in the "Management" column, click on "General Preferences".

    Find the "Composing E-mails" section, "Mode:", and choose "Compose messages as plain text".

    Scroll to the bottom and click the "Save" button.

    Now try it. Can you Compose, Reply to a message or Forward?

    I hope some of this helps you until Yahoo gets on board again!

    no rely if it relatively is no longer on your trash, you may no longer. Yahoo digital mail isn't saved on your computing device, that's saved on a working laptop or computing device at between the Yahoo places. once you delete an digital mail from you inbox, that's moved to trash for some days and then deleted from their computers.. somebody at Yahoo would would desire to attempt to get it back for you. (stable success getting them to do it)
