Is this an , IMAP account & you have configured your web mail with apple mail app ( vulture logo ) .

User uploaded file

And , when you go to system preferences > internet accounts are these options checked .

User uploaded file

And what have you installed in your system , is there any anti - virus , third party apps ? please reply , I have never seen or heard this issue and its a strange activity .

if you are using the stuff , please uninstall them .

After installing them you can rebuild the mails : Mail for Mac: Rebuild mailboxes



Or a second method is there : Take back of all mails in V4folder : Method for how to copy in V4 folder .

Click on go on top menu bar , hold option key click on > library > select mail folder > right click on mail there itself > click on copy mail > right click on extreme right hand side in column B , that is below persistence info.plist > click on paste item .

Entire mails are copied to V4 folder .


Go to the corrupted IMAP account , select it & click on minus sign it is deleted .


Configure new IMAP account , go to top menu bar ,file > import mail boxes > import data from > select apple mail > click on continue > select the back drop folder then choose new .


When new IMAP account is opened , a new folder with all mails will appear in the mail side bar .You can rename the folder .

Thanks for the help.


I am trying to access my gmail accounts through my Apple mail app in Sierra, not directly from Safari.


The window I show above is what happens when I open my Mail App. All of my passwords for gmail are in Keychain but these windows continue to pop up whenever I open my Mail App at the beginning of the day.
