Several starred emails have disappeared from my inbox, I found one using sender search against my inbox, it states it is in my inbox but it does not show there. Can emails be hidden? I am using imap, windows 11 and McAfee security. Any ideas how I can get these emails to show in the inbox again please.

I'm guessing you've already sorted by importance. Can you not open the email from the search?

Yes I can open the email found by searching but still can't see it in my inbox

Update, I have just realised that when I searched for one of the missing emails it found it in the inbox of the POP3 account that is still running alongside the imap account for tge same email address. The emails have disappeared from the imap account. Still don't know why.
