Delete emails in Mail on Mac - Apple Support
If you run into any trouble, please reach out again.Rebuild mailboxes in Mail on Mac - Apple Support
If you run into any trouble, please reach out again.I don't think it has anything to do with the number of emails i have (although i do have thousands in folders). One day Mail is using a couple of hundred MB storage, the next day it's using 40 GB storage. I can't use my machine anymore. The problem doesn't have anything to do w/ how many emails i've stored.
TQ
