Mac Mail App Showing Old Emails
The Mail app on my Mac is showing old emails from several years ago, at the top of my inbox. It shows different old emails every day and it's annoying. Any idea how to fix this?

Hello AmyJulianna,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I understand there are issues with Mail displaying older emails unexpectedly at the top. I'll do what I can to help.
Here are some suggestions:
- Rebuild the mailbox where the messages are appearing: Rebuild mailboxes in Mail on Mac
- Check the email account information for the account affected: View email account information in Mail on Mac
- Restart your Mac from the Apple () menu then Restart.
- Restart the Mac in safe mode to see if it experiences the same thing: How to use safe mode on your Mac
Have a great day.
