Cannot move some emails from Junk to Inbox

When moving some emails from Junk to Inbox I get a message that the message cannot be moved. It shows a reason "The specified object was not found in the store., The process failed to get the correct properties." That makes no sense to me and I don't where to begin researching.

This McBook Pro is running macOS Catalina and the OS is up to date.

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15

Moved emails will not stay in my chosen mailbox. They keep snapping back to Inbox. Rebuild does not help. I organize my incoming mail into many boxes. I move each individual email to the chosen box. Sometimes it will not move. Sometimes it moves but then jumps back into Inbox. This just happened to about 15 or 20 emails I'd moved out of Inbox. Why? How do I stop it. Rebuild Inbox does not help. When an email will not move, I temporarily select a mailbox other than Inbox and then select Inbox again and the email I wanted to move will have now moved. Sometimes the email does move. I have seen no repeating pattern for when moving the email works and when it doesn't work. Mac OS Catalina 10.16.7. 2019 27" iMac. Apple Mail Version 13.4 (3608.120.23.2.6) Any clues, fixes or permanent cures?

Mail stuck "moving messages" to account folders with Mail rules Hi, I'm on macOS Monterey 12.2.1 and have a problem with the built-in Mail app. I use a lot of mail accounts. But I move most mails to folders in my iCloud and Office 365 accounts with Mail rules. The problem: Mail is stuck on an ever-increasing number of mail messages that it can't move. They show up in the destination folder but have no content. Here's an example of a German email that shows up on my Office 365 inbox on iPhone: Now Mac Mail failed to move that message. So it shows up with an empty body: At the same time, Mail's "Activity" window shows an ever-increasing number of messages haven't moved: I quit Mail and used "CleanMyMac X" to "Speed Up Mail" (which I think rebuilds some index here). I selected "Mailbox - Rebuild" in Mac Mail with both my iCloud & Office 365 inboxes selected. The latter is still ongoing, but none of it has made any difference so far. I had this problem in the past, too. But it always sorted itself out over time and possibly some Mail restarts. How can I get Mail unstuck? Regards, Karsten S.

Instead of moving, try highlighting it & click on the Not Junk icon that was a Junk icon elsewhere..
