Q: mail only showing unread

I've upgraded to Sierra successfully but about a week later Mail started showing ONLY the unread messages in all mailboxes. I can only access the read ones if I enter a search term. Most successful is "e". How do I switch it back to showing both read and unread messages?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7)

A:

Ok. Close Mail. Open an Applications > Utilities > Terminal window and paste the following command:

 

mv ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/ ~/Desktop

 

Reboot. If it's working now, you can trash the folder that was moved to your Desktop for safekeeping.
