Having troubles with mail folders on my Mac. I drag & drop an email into a specific folder but ends up coming back into the inbox folder? How do I fix this problem?

you can try a safe boot. if the problem resolves itself in safe mode, you can reboot normally and test again. sometimes a safe boot followed by a normal boot can fix things

if that doesn't help, you can set up a test account and test for the issue again. that way we will know if the issue is tied to your regular account or if it is system wide.
