how to stop an email sender from continually downloading the messages from archive mailbox. I have accidentally activated and it won't stop downloading

I am using a MacBook Air version 10.13.3 Mail version 11.2

I have accidentally activated a mail from the archive box and now it won't stop downloading all the archived mesages.

I am technically not very savvy. I had only wanted to unarchive a sender to my mail box and made a mistake which I can't control now. 😟

Saves cancelled emails to draft I use Mojave and mail 12.2. Many times, but not always, I find that if I start an email and then decide I don't want to send it and click the red button at the top and then click on DON'T SAVE, that message ends up in my draft folder. I just deleted 8 such messages. How can I stop this? I am choosing the topic macOS Mojave because I don't see anything that says Mac Mail Thanks,

[2019] mac mail had duplicate sent messages I've discovered that Mac Mail stores a local copy of a message an accounts sent folder by default, but the SMTP server also stores the sent message in the sent folder as well. This results in duplicate send items in my sent folder, which is bad because this will double the amount of disk usage on my Mac and email provider From googling I found that this problem has existed since at least 2013, and the solution use to be to disable store sent messages. However, in 2019 apple has removed this option from mailbox behavior. I'm at a lost on how to stop mac mail from storing a copy of messages it sends. Can anyone provide a solution other than dump mac mail
