Q: Why does Mail show Downloading Messages of over 15000 when I deleted them all?
I'm new to Mail on the Mac ... When I start Mail the activity box at the bottom shows an incremental count of downloading messages. The number is currently over 15,000 yet I have deleted all messages from all mailboxes, even the spam and junk. What am I doing wrong?
Note I am using an iMac with El Capitan, all software up-to-date. Thanks.
Apple TV, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4), AppleTV version 1

Stupid to reply to my own post, but I thought I should report this immediately:-
After setting uup the email accounts on the new MBP and finding that Mail behaved correctly, I shut it down and made the previous post. Then before shutting the iMac down I tried closing and re-launching Mail. The problem seems to have resolved itself. !!! ???
I don't know if it was anything we did, or whether the fault was self-correcting.
Anyway, I'm very grateful for the interest shown and the help offered.
