"you sent this email 3 day saga"

Why is Mail now putting emails I have sent in my inbox 3 days later? Have I inadvertently changed a setting, and if so how do I change it back?

Thanks:

Mail version 16.0, Ventura 13.1.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6

Good afternoon Ian,


It sounds like you may be referring to the new "follow up" feature added to the Mail app on the Mac. The resource below provides information and instructions to disable the feature.


Reply to, forward, or follow up on emails in Mail on Mac - Mail User Guide


"Get reminded to follow up on emails with no response


If you send a message and don’t receive a response in 3 days, the sent email automatically resurfaces to the top of your inbox to help you remember to follow up.


  • To ignore a follow-up suggestion, swipe right on the message in the message list.
  • To turn this feature on or off, choose Mail > Settings, click General, then select or deselect the checkbox next to “Enable message follow up suggestions.”



Take care.
