Mac Mail is acting weird

I use Mac Mail version 16.0 to download my gmail. I have my mailbox folders sorted alphabetically.


Recently one of my mailbox folders will drop down to the bottom of my mailbox list and none of the emails stored in that mailbox folder will appear. This is the only mailbox folder that does this. I suspect there is some function I triggered on or off associated with this mailbox only.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.6

Hi Staynavytom


You might want to try quitting the Mail app, and re-opening it.

This sometimes fixes "weird" behaviour.


Similarly, restarting your Mac can sometimes put things right.


or, if needed:

If an app on your Mac does not work as expected, 

try this article (link below) from Apple Support:

If an app on your Mac stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open - Apple Support


Else:

If you still have the issue, and suspect a function / setting has been triggered,

you might want to browse through the updated User Guide (Click "Table of contents" at the top)

All the best :-)
