Yes, last night all the massages I had left in /var/mail/hendrik

time I got to look at my mail, a few new ones had arrived.

I'm starting to think it's not just a fluke.

Do you have some sort of IMAP/POP server installed, and could a client
be fetching and then deleting all mail? Maybe a long shot.

Or someone else who's gotten ahold of your password. Change it, and it'll lock out any clients you don't know about right now. Also read your logs carefully -- see if clients are authenticating at times you don't expect.
