This damn near drove me insane for a few months. However I never looked for a solution, never read the manual (who does?) and never asked anyone. I just silently stared at my email that couldn’t be deleted…
Until today.
Finally I figured you can click on Mailbox and then Rebuild and it fixes everything up just fine! Apparently it also fixes a lot of other bits and pieces that can go wrong in Apple Mail.
Another reason you could be getting all these deleted messages hanging around is if you’ve inadvertently pressed Cmd+L. This turns on “Show Deleted Messages” which you probably don’t want.
Hope that helps,
