Rearrange folders in Mail

I am working on a MacBook Pro Monterey 12.0.1 in the Mail app 15.0.

I want to rearrange my mailboxes, but I cannot drag the mailboxes to where I want them.

Apparently it has to do with the new iMap system where Mail mirrors webmail of your email host.


Apple Support is unable to help.


Is there any solution to this?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.0

Where are the folders you want to move and where are you trying to move them.

You can only move folders within the account they belong. The Mailbox list is organized as Favorites, and each account.

If you are trying to move them from an account into favorites, ctrl-click on the folder and, Add to Favorites. The folder will remain in the account section, but will be accessible from Favorites.

Has one attempted logging into the WebMail interface of the Mail Servers and rearranging them, if that is even possible ?


Note: Monterey 12.0.1 was the original Public release of Monterey.


The current version is Monterey version 12.2.1 bring several bug and security fixes.
