Why don't e-mails disappear when I Delete or Junk them?

When I've read an e-mail I don't want to keep I press the Delete button or the Junk button, a symbol appears by the e-mail but usually nothing else happens - but then sometimes they disappear!

I suspect this is an IMAP-connected account and you are marking the message for later deletion.

look here: Tools|Account Settings|{select the account}|Server Settings|Server Settings→When I delete a message:

What is it set to do?

Still doesn't work.

But what was it set to do? Have you changed it?

Made no difference

What made no difference? I am asking you to tell me what that setting was, or is now.
