Deleted Emails Return on Mac Book Pro.

Why are my emails returning after I delete them? On Mac Book Pro. This happened once before, but seemed to fix itself.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.13

For problem accounts the go to way to sort things out is to delete the account(s) from the Mail.app, then add it back.

Remove email accounts in Mail on Mac

Add email accounts in Mail on Mac - Apple Support

Note—

IMAP accounts stay on the server, so no local loss, when you re-sync

POP accounts download and remove from the server—therefor save your inbox/sent box if you want them

“On My Mac" is just that, local folders you created and moved mail into. So no loss
