[Android Central Question]

Why do some messages go directly to the recycle bin - they do not appear in the inbox or even the spam folder.... they just go directly to the recycle bin and often only appear just after you click delete when you empty all from the recycle bin. So you never get to see the messages

What phone?

Do you have any filters set on the email account? Is there a spam filter in the account that you turned on? (It depends more on the account than the app.)

[UK-Gatekeeper]

There are no filters set on any accounts and spam should and does go to the Spam folder but still some messages go unread directly to the recycle bin and often do not appear until after you press the button to empty the recycle bin then they suddenly appear seconds before they are deleted - - - You really got to wonder if it is caused by another app such as Facebook that has permissions to access and change so many things

Just to add more data points...

Which email app?
Which email provider?
Which email protocol (pop3, imap, exchange)?

[UK-Gatekeeper]

Its the Pre-installed E-mail version 4.0.99.6
My device is a Samsung Tab A
It happens to various Emails
Any-company.com or Any-company.co.uk
I guess since the decice software is from Google
that google are probably the E-mail provider/handler (or possibly yahoo)

Sometimes I move the messages to the inbox so that they can be replied to
but they usually disappear minutes later and reappear back in the recycle bin
