Mail server DotMac IMAP.

My Mail program is always saying "Downloading 2,803 new messages" or some such large number. I read my mail daily. No way there are thousands of new messages. I cant find "Advanced" Preferences. So I cant look at server instructions for this Mac Mail server.


Mojave 10.14.6
