Hi there brianhews,


If you are trying to rebuild your mailbox in the Mail app, first ensure you are following these steps from Rebuild mailboxes in Mail on Mac:

1. In the Mail app  on your Mac, select a mailbox in the sidebar.
2. Choose Mailbox > Rebuild.


If you are following those steps and this continues, then update your Mac to the latest version of macOS Monterey, 12.6.3. This installs feature improvements and bug fixes that can resolve unexpected behavior like this. This shows how to back up and update your Mac: Update macOS on Mac


Take care!
