Thunderbird is automatically deleting emails from myself

Starting several days ago, emails that I sent to myself, or cc:ed myself on, would briefly show up as usual in my Inbox, but would within a few minutes disappear. Even more oddly, they do not then appear in Trash or Junk. I can still see the email in my Sent folder, but if I take the email and move it from Sent to Inbox, the same thing happens (except now the mail is completely lost, as it's neither in Inbox nor Sent).

At first I thought this was because I marked as Spam an email that was spam but that falsely had my own name in From: . But if that were the problem, I would presumably be seeing my emails in the Junk folder -- and I don't.

Has anyone else encountered this? Thank you.

I see now that this also happens when I use my ISP's webmail reader in the browser, while Thunderbird is not running. So presumably this has nothing to do with Thunderbird.

Gmail simply hides mail from yourself, given you do not say what mail provider you use that is about as specific as I can get.
