Emails show up in outlook but apple mail is not receiving or showing all emails
I really don't understand what is going on. I just want my outlook to work like it did before on apple mail.
What is happening
Apple mail: [THE PROBLEM]
The whole main inbox is missing emails.
Some mailboxes like "flagged" or "drafts" was able to get emails back.
New emails are not showing up.
Outlook email:
is getting new emails.
has all the past emails.
Mac Computer A: is the one with the Broken Apple Mail. Mac Mini
Mac Computer B: is the one with the Apple Mail that still works. Mac Air
Both use the same apple account. Both are log into the same Outlook Exchange.
What I did to mess up Apple Mail:
There was way way way too much space being taken up by my mail messages on my Mac Computer A. Not in. Not in my wildest dreams of deleting them off the computer (Mail>Library Folder) would impact Apple Mail.
What a waste of space on a computer that has so little.
Deleted them. Apple Mail loses all its emails.
My attempts to fix it:
1) So, Mac Computer A loses all email in Apple Mail but my Mac Computer B still has them.
I go and copy all emails on Mac Computer B in the "Mail > Library Folder and paste them back into Mac Computer A I only regain the "flagged" and "draft" emails the main emails never show up in Apple Mail
Log in to Outlook and all my mail is still there just not showing up/syncing into Apple Mail
Now I have all this mail taking up space on Mac Computer A but not showing up in Apple Mail.
2) Unhooked the outlook account from Mac Computer A and resigned in. It had a "download" message in the bottom left corner of Apple Mail no new "downloads was added to the Apple Mail. Had to disconnect from the “Internet Accounts.”
3) No connection Triangle is on any of the inboxes to indicate a connection issue
4) I used the "Mailbox > Rebuild" on the inbox that is missing/not getting new emails - No change.
So, where I am at now:
Still broken Apple Mail on Mac Computer A.
- Mail keeps “downloading” on Mac Computer A, eating up internet speed and the amount I have for the monthly limit.
- A bunch of space is being taken up on Mac Computer A in “Mail>Library Folder” with no use.
Mac Computer B
- Working Apple Mail
I am lost on how to fix it and have tried all I can find to fix this on forms, videos, and Reddit. I just don’t understand how Apple is just “Broken” when it should work with everything I have tried. It just never makes sense, and I am so frustrated.
So, what I need a solution for:
Get Apple Mail to work again on Mac Computer A
And for it not to take up so much space on my Computers (Mac Computer A/Mac Computer B) (I need space to work the Adobe programs and pull files on and off cloud systems)
Any idea how to help me? TIA
