The application can't be opened. -50

After the latest system update to Sonoma 14.4.1, I get this error message in Mail Version 16.0 (3774.500.171.1.1) every time I edit one of my Rules. The rules usually don't execute unless I select a message and use the left click menu and select "Apply Rules".

How can this be fixed?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

hmmm...


Have not heard this before.


You can try quitting Mail.app, relaunch it holding the Shift key down and compare your results


if no resolve—

Try turning off Mail in iCloud— edit /add rules and see if they saved properly to compare your results.


Re-enable iCloud Mail to test.



Rules:


Change Add Rule settings in Mail on Mac - Apple Support

Change Rule settings in Mail on Mac - Apple Support


Filter emails in Mail on Mac - Apple Support

Filter emails in Mail on Mac - Apple Support


Use rules to manage emails you receive in Mail on Mac ...

Use rules to manage emails you receive in Mail on Mac - Apple Support



Still no resolve— sign out of AppleID/iCloud and back in again.
