Mail stuck "moving messages" to account folders with Mail rules
Hi,
I'm on macOS Monterey 12.2.1 and have a problem with the built-in Mail app. I use a lot of mail accounts. But I move most mails to folders in my iCloud and Office 365 accounts with Mail rules.
The problem: Mail is stuck on an ever-increasing number of mail messages that it can't move. They show up in the destination folder but have no content. Here's an example of a German email that shows up on my Office 365 inbox on iPhone:
Now Mac Mail failed to move that message. So it shows up with an empty body:
At the same time, Mail's "Activity" window shows an ever-increasing number of messages haven't moved:
I quit Mail and used "CleanMyMac X" to "Speed Up Mail" (which I think rebuilds some index here). I selected "Mailbox - Rebuild" in Mac Mail with both my iCloud & Office 365 inboxes selected. The latter is still ongoing, but none of it has made any difference so far.
I had this problem in the past, too. But it always sorted itself out over time and possibly some Mail restarts.
How can I get Mail unstuck?
Regards,
Karsten S.
