Mail Program Glitch

Using High Sierra 10.13.6 Mail program sometimes shows me the wrong message in the right hand viewer window that is not the msg I have selected in the Sort section either by date or From or To, etc.. Has anyone else experienced this and how to fix the glitch?

MacBook, macOS 10.13

Hello,


Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?


Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches & loads safe Drivers, & prevents loading of 3rd party extensions, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.


If you have no POP accounts & they’re all IMAP accounts then in Mail’s Mailbox menu choose Rebuild.
