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...
iMac 24″, macOS 13.4
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.
Click on the sideways V to see what is in the Inbox.
In your My Folders I see no Inbox.Drafts but other Inbox.things. No idea why you have them, but I guess you should create a My Folders>Inbox.Drafts folder.
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!
This is my webmail...
Thanks. Here's what my webmail looks like after adding the INBOX.Drafts. Still getting the original error message after restarting mail.
Does this help explain it?
Choose On My Mac>Drafts..
OK, my settings look like this now...
Thanks for the suggestion, but setting it to "on My Mac" didn't work...
And you restarted Mail & get exact same error?
Did setting to"On My Mac" mailbox remain after restart?
Yes & yes.
I restarted my iMac and the "on My Mac" setting remained after the restart.
OK, sorry, I doubt I can help any further without personal info which you do not want to share... publicly anyway. :(
In a browser, log into your WebMail in a browser, is there in fact a mailbox called inbox.drafts???
Can you direct Drafts to an On My Mac mailbox for a test?
Sorry, please explain...
OK, but where is the folder All Drafts?
And, nay I ask... why are all these boxes in the Inbox???
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.
