I was gone over the weekend and had turned off all Rules and picked up my email just fine on my iPad == I just came back and started. up my iMac and the message at the bottom of the L pane is "downloading messages. 914 new messages" -- what does this mean and what can I do?? I opened Activity in Mail and it's blank. The 914 number hasn't budged. Most of my email is via my .MAC address and a few from a second one.
iMac 27″ 5K, macOS 10.14
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?
Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.
If you have no POP accounts & they’re all IMAP accounts then in Mail’s Mailbox menu choose Rebuild.
