why do i need to delete messages twice from my inbox

I am trying to clean up my inbox by searching frequent emails, selecting all and hitting delete. The emails return after my first attempt to delete and I a forced to repeat the delete step to remove them from the inbox. Is there a faster way to do this?

Greetings sabatro,


In order to delete mail from your Mac, follow these steps:


  1. "In the Mail app  on your Mac, select a message.
  2. Click the Delete button  in the Mail toolbar or move the pointer over the message’s header, then click the Delete button that appears.

Tip: To prevent the next message in the list from being automatically selected (and marked as read), press and hold the Option key when you delete the message.

If you set the “Move discarded messages” option to Trash in Viewing settings in Mail, you can delete a message by swiping left on the trackpad with two fingers or by moving the pointer over a Mail notification, then clicking Delete (or the Trash icon)." Delete emails in Mail on Mac


We hope this helps!


Sincerely.
