Amrish,


I've seen this before. It's usually an easy fix.


  1. Open mail
  2. From the top menu bar: Select mailbox
  3. Locate the option to "Rebuild"


These steps should resolve your issue, however, if you continue to have issues: Follow this article: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201716


Thanks,
