Deleted Mail Rules continue to reappear after being deleted.

Since upgrading to Sequoia 15.3.2 I can't remove some of the Mail Rules I no longer need or want. I also can't create a new rule that will be in my list the next time I open the Mail app. Any ideas why?

Hello cb_z06,

Please try this :

Quit Mail.
Open System Settings.
Click your name (top left).
Click iCloud.
Click "iCloud Drive" (This is the important part.)
Click "Apps synchronizing with iCloud Drive".
Disable Mail.
Click Done.

Once this is done, open Mail and create your rules. Quit and reopen Mail to verify that they are still present. If so, restart your Mac and check again for their presence.

If everything seems normal, resume steps 1 to 8 but, this time, activate Mail in step 7.
