Recently (last several days), when I select one email in Mail then click on the trash icon, it is deleted but an adjacent email is deleted as well. I can recover (using Edit-Undo Delete Message), but only if I notice that another email has been deleted. The problem is intermittent and unpredictable.
Mac OSX Catalina 10.15.4
iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15
I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro which had Catalina as the OS. After a few weeks, I realized that the Mail program was deleting ALL emails after two weeks. I searched and searched for a preference I could set to stop this since I like to keep the majority of my emails for reference. But all I could find was a preference for archiving junk mail. So very helpful. After searching on the Internet, I find that this is an "issue" with Catalina. But it has been an issue since 2019 and Apple still hasn't fixed it?? Has anyone found a way to stop Catalina's Mail program from deleting every effing email after two weeks? I really don't want to have to archive every single email I want to keep. It's a totally unnecessary step and wasn't a problem with any other OS.
Do you have it set to Organize by Conversation, and is the other email part of the conversation? If you select the item in the message list, that is the whole conversation.
No, this is a different problem. The preceding adjacent message is deleted, whether related or not. I do not have Organize by Conversation set.
Never noticed that happening to me, but like you stated, I might not have been paying close enough attention.
