Deleted emails keep reappearing in Mail

I just upgraded to a brand new iMac with Ventura 13.2.1. Emails that I deleted are suddenly back in my inbox the next time I open Mail. I can't find advanced settings in this new version of Mail to adjust behaviors of deleted messages from the server. Mail does not appear in my System Settings, and there's nothing in Mail's Settings.


Also, at the bottom the sidebar I'm getting a message showing that sometimes hundreds of messages are being moved (where?) very s-l-o-w-l-y. Is this related? Any advice appreciated.

iMac 24″, macOS 13.2

"I just upgraded "...


Maybe your server is still catching up... why not report back after sometime has passed, before you get too carried away.



if you have sync issue— the go to way is to delete the account and then add it back in.

Note—

IMAP accounts stay on the server, so no local loss, when you re-sync

POP accounts download and remove from the server—therefor save your inbox/sent box if you want them

“On My Mac" is just that, local folders you created and moved mail into. So no loss
