Inbox problem

Suddenly, the last week, every time I either transfer or delete an email from my Mail for Mac inbox (affects emails to my bt and gmail accounts equally) it pops straight back in again. My inbox is becoming unmanageable. Why has this suddenly happened and what can I do about it?

Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Mail Message Stays UN-Deleted I have a message in my Inbox in Mail that I have tried several times and deleted but it stays in the Inbox! (see below). This Inbox belongs to an Exchange account; however, when I go into a browser page to check my Microsoft mail account, the message is not in that box. It would appear then that the message was deleted in the Exchange account but it still appears in Mail on my Mac. How do I get rid of this irksome message?

Cannot move some emails from Junk to Inbox When moving some emails from Junk to Inbox I get a message that the message cannot be moved. It shows a reason "The specified object was not found in the store., The process failed to get the correct properties." That makes no sense to me and I don't where to begin researching. This McBook Pro is running macOS Catalina and the OS is up to date.

Mail content not appearing on Mac I'm having the same problem I've seen reported before: randomly, some of my email is not displaying any content on my Mac, though I can see it in iOS. I've used a work-around that one user previously described -- moving the message to another folder and then back into the Inbox, and then it seems to display properly. But this clearly seems to be a longstanding bug. Is Apple ever going to address it?

Try rebuilding the mailbox.

Rebuild mailbox

If that doesn't work, try re-indexing the mailboxes. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

Reindex messages For El Capitan, try looking in V3. Sierra use V4. High Sierra use V5.

Reindex messages (2) See post by Linc Davis
