<title>I cannot see some emails, where are they?</title>

<list>
 <item>
  <p>Check whether you are <link xref="mail-filters-not-working">using filters</link> on incoming (or outgoing) messages. These could be automatically moving your messages to another destination.</p>
 </item>
 <item>
  <p>Check your <link xref="mail-searching#search-many">search view in the search bar</link> right above the message list. Perhaps the <gui>Show</gui> dropdown list is set to a filter like <gui>Read Messages</gui>, or the text input filed contains some value. Click the broom icon to clear the search field.</p>
 </item>
 <item>
  <p>If you cannot see any emails at all in a folder, check that you have not maximized the message preview (so the message list pane is hidden). To do this, click <guiseq><gui>View</gui><gui>Preview</gui><gui>Show Message Preview</gui></guiseq>.</p>
 </item>
 <item>
  <p>Select both <guiseq><gui>View</gui><gui>Show Deleted Messages</gui></guiseq> and <guiseq><gui>View</gui><gui>Show Junk Messages</gui></guiseq> to make sure all messages are visible.</p>

  <p><link xref="mail-default-folder-locations">Check your folder settings.</link> Perhaps they are set to some other folder than the folder you thought of.</p>
