ZOHO and MacMail Vanishing emails

ZOHO and MacMail Vanishing emails

When I deleted email from the ZOHO server and the ZOHO trash for my ZOHO IMAP account,  all the emails in my MAC MAIL that already had been downloaded from ZOHO, disappeared, and my inbox was entirely empty. 

I have not yet found any setting at ZOHO or in Mac Mail, that explains this behavior nor do it want it to repeat.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
