saved folder email do not display

When I move an email to a newly created "Saved" emails folder, the email disappears from my in box, but does no appear anywhere.


Where can these be found to be saved?

Hey there!


Thanks for the info, although a little more may help.


Are you dragging these email messages from your inbox?


Is the folder/Mailbox you’re moving it to on the “On My Mac” section? Or is it stored under your email providers section?


Does the same happen if you move the email to another folder? Another account?


Do you have any rules set up in Mail > Settings > Rules?


Does the same happen in webmail? (Your email provider’s website)?


Is your goal to duplicate these email messages? Or just to remove them from the account and archive them to your Mac or somewhere physically?


Not sure if this is what you’re looking for, but you can export and save entire mailboxes, as a backup, then import them if the originals were deleted, or onto a new Mac, etc.:

those answers may help, cheers!

Thanks for the reply!

  • No, I used the 'move to' option in mail


Is the folder/Mailbox you’re moving it to on the “On My Mac” section? Or is it stored under your email providers section?

  • in the 'On My Mac' section


Does the same happen if you move the email to another folder? Another account?

  • I'm only using the 'saved' folder so far


Do you have any rules set up in Mail > Settings > Rules?

  • No rules


Does the same happen in webmail? (Your email provider’s website)?

  • When I log in directly to gmail, I see the email in that saved folder


Is your goal to duplicate these email messages? Or just to remove them from the account and archive them to your Mac or somewhere physically?

  • I'm just looking to save the email from being accidentally deleted from my inbox since it contains info I'll need to use in future months
