Recovered Message folders keep showing up in Mail

Every day Apple Mail adds a "Recovered Messages" folder to my locally saved mails (not server side) If I wait a week not to delete them I have 7, if I wait 2 days, I have 2.


This is just a little annoying and has been happening ever since I upgraded to Ventura last year.

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
