mail's deleted emails keep coming back

In Mail on Mac OS 10.15.2, deleted emails keep coming back.

Emails moved to other folders or archived keep coming back into the inbox too.

Sometimes when I delete an email it says are you sure you want to delete 300+ other emails.

Is my email haunted!

Mail randomly displaying sent items in inbox Hello, Since upgrading to a Mac Book pro to an M1 running MacOS Ventura, Apple mail is displaying sent items in the inbox. It does not matter if I have show related enabled or not. Sometime the sent item is just there out of date sort order. I mean that a sent message from 12/14/2022 will show above messages in in the inbox from the 16th. Also, the message knows it is already in the sent items folder because it says so when displaying the mailbox column in the inbox. I cannot drag and drop back to sent items but can move to any other folder. As a work around I've archiving these random messages showing in my inbox from sent items so they do not come back. But new ones keep showing up. I tried to open a ticket and support was trying to get me to delete my POP3 mailbox. This would clear all my mail too. I cannot do that. It's like the inbox is acting like a smart mailbox that is not so smart since it showing sent items too. Any thoughts?

macOS Ventura Apple Mail messages are blank / empty This seems to be an intermittent yet long-lived bug i.e. it keeps coming up version after version. This is currently happening to me on Ventura 13.0.1 and Apple Mail 16.0. I do not see any pending updates. I am not running antivirus or vpn software. I have done the following: • turned off all checkboxes on the Preferences > Privacy pane; restarted Mail. • opened the email in its own window. • rebuilt the inbox (select inbox, click Mailbox > Rebuild); restarted Mail. Still can't see the email. I can see the message body if: • I open the email in icloud.com • I forward the email in the desktop client Things I have not tried yet: • safe boot • resetting Apple mail preferences Reference posts are below; only in one of them has the poster reported back that they got it working (they were running anti-virus software (Avast) but that doesn't apply to me).

Hey Colin Walton,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!

I hear that you're having issues with mail reappearing in your inboxes after being deleted. I'd be happy to help out.

I'd like for you to try from a browser and attempt to delete emails from there. If they reappear, let us know.

If not, let's try to remove the account from your Mail app and re-add and see if you continue to have this issue.

Add an email account to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Cheers!
