Something to try:


Quit Apple Mail. Boot into Safe Mode by holding the Shift key. This Safe Boot may take some ~ minutes, keep holding Shift down until the login screen appears. After you complete logging in, log out and reboot. Then test to see if the problem persists.


Safe Boot does file system repairs if any are needed and also deletes some cache contents. Caches are how the computer "remembers" some things, it sounds like your computer is "remembering" something that it shouldn't.
