(No Sender) e-mail

e-mails in my inbox showing as (No Sender) with no attached information or mail, but they can't be deleted, blocked, archived, or moved. They can't be opened and there is only summary information showing in the side bar.


How do I get rid of these?

Why does no one address the actual question, which is how to stop the (No Sender) email messages?

New Issue - have never seen this happen before

Summary information simply says (No Sender) followed by no title, but a couple words of the email itself - clearly advertising something or a spam or phishing

Can't mark them as Junk.

Can't block the sender.

Can't move them.

Can't delete them.


They don't show up in my Google Mail online or any of my university email accounts, not even in the Spam or Junk folders. So I have no idea how they were sent to me.


Then, about thirty minutes later, they all disappear.


I've since run a complete scan - no viruses or malware.


Really strange event.

This " I've since run a complete scan - no viruses or malware. " is looking not so good to say the least.


Part 1 of 2


There are no known Windows-like Viruses in the wild that self replicate and affect macOS, because of the underling UNIX  Foundation and Permission Limitation. 


Additionally, in macOS 11 Big Sur, macOS 12 Monterey and macOS 13 Ventura. 


The Operating System resides in a Sealed and Read Only Volume that can not be opened by the User nor by Third Party Applications.


The only Entity that can open and modify or alter this Volume is Apple.


That would occur when a update or UpGrade is performed.


The Only thing this Antivirus software is protecting is the Bank Account of the Developers and for zero return to the User aside from the problems this software creates.


AntiVirus Developers purposefully Market their product to create a “ Fear Factor “. In so doing, creating a False Need for their Product.


The The Built in Security  is all that is required to protect the computer.
