Deleting emails, (moving to trash folder) does not propagate to the mail server for one account.

It used to work fine. This is with Mail 11.5 (3445.9.1)


Any ideas what may cause this?

Yes it is an IMAP account.

I think that I have cleared the problem by booting in safe mode and working with mail.

Suddenly there were several messages about not being able to move messages to folders, (probably because I had deleted them.) which seemed to clear the queue. And further trials seem to prove that deletions are once again propagated to the server and my other devices.
