    The first thing I usually suspect in this situation is that the message aren't deleted but were possibly downloaded by an email client. Did you recently setup a new device to access your email or perhaps turn on an older device that you haven't used in a while?

    Thank you for the information. If you log into the Cox Webmail (http://webmail.cox.net), are you able to see your emails there?

    Did you recently use an email client such as Outlook Express, Windows Live Mail, Outlook, etc. to access your email? I see a lot of POP3 activity on your account which by default deletes the contents of webmail when used.

    My emails from 03/15, 03/16 and 03/17 are also missing. I have checked the webmail at Cox.net, and it's not there too. We haven't used any new device , or did anything differently.
