New mailbox disappears immediately after saving

Hello. When attempting to create a new mailbox, I click edit and then add new mailbox. I type name of new mailbox and where it will be located. I tap save. It appears for a moment and then disappears. I can sometimes save a new mailbox. However, most of the time the above happens.

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 17
