I delete my email in the mail app on my m1 MacBook and it reloads soonafter. I have all the latest updates and do not like this as it loads mail that is over a month old. I have 3 gmail accounts this happens to. I have one from another service provider and another from Apple and they do not do this. Any help please?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6
Check the path set in Mail for those accounts, sometimes a slip will head Trash to Inbox or such.
Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Your Account>Mailbox Behaviors, what path is Trash Mailbox set to?
OK thanks. it's likely due to a corrupted .plist
If these are all IMAP accounts, quit Mail, move this file to the desktop in case we want tom put it back...
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
~ tilde indicates your user library folder
Apple hid the Users' Library folders...
Method 1:
Setup Mail again.
If no god then quit Mail then put that file back.
Hi,
Thank you so much for your reply.
I have tried that and every time I reset it, it goes back to these things automatically in the image.
Is there a setting in gmail I can change or something in Apple that I can use to override this? I set it as my boxes and it just goes back to this without my say so. Very frustrating.
I am saying I can set them, but the system keeps changing them back to the ones in my screenshot.
I change them and then when I look at them, they have changed back to the other ones that I changed them from. Does that make sense?
I do not know why it would overwrite what I have already overwritten. Google is obviously king here where I should be.
Are you saying you cannot set a folder for Bin & Archive cannot be set to other than Bin?
Deleted Mail Reloads after delete.
