• Mail: confused smart mailboxes

    From RJH@21:1/5 to All on Thu Feb 2 08:14:29 2023
    The Smart mailboxes in Apple Mail seem to have tied themselves in knots, incorrectly filtering and refusing to accurately report read items. This is using the default 'Arrived today', 'last 7 days' etc.

    Any suggestions to reset etc.?

    You could try rebuilding its databases?

    Thanks Andy. Sorted now by deleting and reinstating the smart mailboxes.
