Unsync Mail

Up until approx 1 month ago, our family Fastmail email account which is managed through Apple Mail would download to each of our three devices - iMac, Mac Book Air, and iPhone. Whatever actions occurred on one would not occur on the other, being read, deleted, or placed in a file folder - but all would be downloaded from the server to each individual device. For some reason, they are all syncing which has become problematic. They are all IMAP, the software is up to date, and I've deleted and reloaded each of the Fastmail accounts on Mail

MacBook Air, macOS 13.2

Hello Tom,

What does they are all syncing mean, differently than the previous actions?

Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?

Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.

If you have no POP accounts & they’re all IMAP accounts then in Mail’s Mailbox menu choose Rebuild.
