I'm getting a message from Mail that says,"The message 'XXX email' could not be moved to the mailbox "XXXMYMAILBOX". The error message pops up every 30 seconds when I am creating an email.

This error message pops up every 30 seconds when I am creating an email. I only have one mail box. Anyone have any idea what's going on here? Making me crazy...

Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Your Account>Mailbox Behaviors, what path is Drafts Mailbox set to?

Setting it to an On My Mac Drafts box generally cures it if you don't need Drafts sent to other devices.

Try setting to an On My Mac Box.

I don't seem to have a folder called ALL DRAFTS - only a file.


Obviously, I have no idea of what a typical version of Mail should look like, not to mention how Mail actually works.


I've already taken up a bunch of your time and I suspect that fixing my Mail will take someone linked to my machine to have a look at my problems first hand. This back and forth could take forever and like I said - I've already taken up your time, which I really appreciate.


Thank you!
