No they don't (deliberately) delete emails from anywhere other than the Spam and Deleted folders.

How do you access your emails? Some POP clients remove emails from the Inbox after a set time.

If these emails are not in your trash/junk folders then you might have been a victim of the Yahoo issue of emails that get removed for no apparent reason.

Have a read of this as it might be worth a try:

If they are restored then it would be advisable not to store all your emails in your inbox, but instead set up separate folders to keep them in.
