Drag them into alphabetical order.


or


  1. Close the macOS Mail app, if it is currently open.
  2. Launch Finder app. While pressing the option key on your keyboard, click onto the ‘Go‘ menu and then select ‘Library‘.
  3. Scroll down till you find the ‘Mail‘ folder and open the folder.
  4. Within the Mail folder, you will find one or more subfolders named like V1 / V2 / V3 …., in my case it is named ‘V6’.
  5. Trash all ‘Vx’-folders. Note: Do not finally delete them until you are sure you will not need them anymore.
  6. Launch macOS Mail app. All email accounts will be synced again. This can take a while. After the sync is complete, all of your mailbox folders are shown again in alphabetical order.
