I have thousands of messages but have been unsuccessful at deleting them. Need advice.
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.4
I went to Preferences on Mail, defined a Rule as:
----- If "Date sent"
------"is greater than"
------" 2000" days old" (I was attempting to limit mail to the last 5 years)
Perform the following actions:
------"Move message" to Junk
My ~21000 messages than changed to ~36000

(~21000 under "Favorites" at top left of page)
~34,000 under Inbox, with "Filter Reply Reply All .....)
Why Junk & not Trash?
Why not a Smart folder instead of a Rule?
Are these eMail or iMessage messages?
eMail messages.
OIK, what exactly happens when you try?
Now message count is back to ~21000.
21000 in Inbox under "Favorites", 34000 on top of page under Inbox, with
"Filter Reply Reply All Forward ....... to the right.
