Mail randomly displaying sent items in inbox Hello, Since upgrading to a Mac Book pro to an M1 running MacOS Ventura, Apple mail is displaying sent items in the inbox. It does not matter if I have show related enabled or not. Sometime the sent item is just there out of date sort order. I mean that a sent message from 12/14/2022 will show above messages in in the inbox from the 16th. Also, the message knows it is already in the sent items folder because it says so when displaying the mailbox column in the inbox. I cannot drag and drop back to sent items but can move to any other folder. As a work around I've archiving these random messages showing in my inbox from sent items so they do not come back. But new ones keep showing up. I tried to open a ticket and support was trying to get me to delete my POP3 mailbox. This would clear all my mail too. I cannot do that. It's like the inbox is acting like a smart mailbox that is not so smart since it showing sent items too. Any thoughts?

Do you use Time Machine with this notebook? If so, it may be possible to recover these mailboxes from a backup. However, you will no longer be able to restore them through the Time Machine interface (since macOS Catalina). Instead, you will have to use the Finder app to locate these Mail folders.

For Monterey, they would be located in: ~/Library/Mail/V9/
