Subj : Disappearing email

Hello:

I have just installed SuSE 9.1 Linux (just the trial copy,
not registered yet). Ninety percent of things seem to
work but I have a strange email problem, namely, when
email arrives in my INBOX (via IMAP4) it disappears
after about two minutes! If I am quick, I can save the
email from "destruction" but if I am not there, it is lost.
This happens whether I use Mozilla Suite 1.7.3 or just
via a web interface to my inbox (on a local ISP). I can
literally watch the email vanish if I wait looking at the
INBOX.

Is cron or similar setup to delete mail after reading it
with POP3? Basically, I don't like POP3. I want to leave
the mail on the server and access all my folders with
IMAP4.

By the way, under Win2k, this problem does not
happen.

I am a newbie at Linux, so please forgive me if the
solution is obvious to this newsgroup's readers!

Thank you.

Keith
