Have you restarted? If not, do so and retest? Problem still there? It may be time to reinstall your OS.

How do I delete mail storage safely? Hi there, Mail is taking up 8GB of storage on my macbook air, and I'm not even using it! I intend to delete the contents within Library/Mail. However, when I look in there I see there are emails from IMAP which is my Gmail account. I want to delete this folder as it's causing the storage issues, however, I am concerned that if I delete here, it will also delete in my Gmail account! These are important messages which I need to keep safe. I just want to remove it locally off my mac. Any advice is much appreciated! Thanks, Abi
