Hi swim1968,


Thanks for getting back to us. Let's try changing Mailbox Behaviors so 'All Sent' is selected under the Sent Mailbox setting:


Change Mailbox Behaviors preferences in Mail on Mac - Apple Support


Once you've changed that, let us know if you continue experiencing the error.


Cheers.

Hi there, thanks for replying !

We are in lockdown otherwise I would take my MacBook to a store for help !

It pops up randomly when i'm trying to send an email. I can't delete an email - it just pops back - and when i try and delete the sent folder it won' let me. but it will let me delete the 'delete' folder . . .

thank you
