Some sent emails weren’t showing on my MacBook Air. I tried to find them in other folders but now all sent messages have disappeared on MacBook-it show as:
Sent (Read Only)
1690 messages
I’m unable to find them but they all still show on my iPhone-any help appreciated
MacBook Air 15″
If your email account is IMAP, meaning that all messages are saved on the provider's service and you're using the mail app included in macOS, try control-clicking or right-clicking on the Sent mailbox and selecting "rebuild mailbox", if that option is presented. Also make sure that the account is on-line by control-clicking or right-clicking on the Inbox; see if there's a "take [your account name] online" option. If so, select that.
If neither of those suggestions works, try removing the account from Mail and re-adding.
Hope this helps. Regards.

Not knowing which version of macOS you're running things may be different, but on my system you can go to either System Preferences -> Internet Accounts or to Mail's preferences ->Accounts, and you can see your iCloud account there, remove it, and re-add. I would suggest confirming that all the emails you expect to see are present in your account by logging into your iCloud.com account and viewing mail there. Since you see them on your iPhone they probably still exist, but I'd recommend confirming before removing the account from your Mac.
Hope this helps.
Thank you varjak paw
Neither of the two suggestions worked, I can't find an option to remove the account from mail though as it is an iCloud email...am I being totally stupid here?
Thanks for trying to help
I am running Sonoma 14.6.1 and don't seem to be able to delete and re add. Thanks though
Assuming you found the option, what happens when you try?
It just takes me to all the associated details of my iCloud account. When I click on mail it only gives me an option to add another email account but not to delete it
Clicking this button doesn't work?
No-it only gives me the option to delete my whole iCloud account...
Sent emails disappeared from my MacBook but still show on iPhone
