    Hello!

     

     

    You should try trashing the envelope index files. I'll explain below. Please make a back-up of your computer first, preferably with Time Machine: Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support

     

     

    To trash the envelope index files (and re-index your mail file):

     

     

    1. Quit Mail if it's open, preferably via the menu "Mail > Quit Mail"
    2. Open the Finder and using the menu "go > go to folder" navigate to this location including the ~

     

    ~/library/mail/v2/maildata/

     

     

    I suggest you simply copy-paste the line above and press the [go]-button.

     

     

        3. Once inside the folder, trash all files starting with the words envelope

        4. Once trashed, restart your OS X and open Mail. It will want to import your mails. This is expected. Please do so.
