All mail mailbox is not showing in mac mail

Frustrating!

There could be several reasons why your All Mail mailbox is not showing up in Mac Mail. Here are some troubleshooting steps to help you resolve the issue:

  1. Check your account settings: Ensure that your account is set up correctly in Mac Mail. Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts, select your account, and check that the "All Mail" mailbox is listed under "Mailboxes".
  2. Verify the mailbox is enabled: In the Mailbox list, click on the "All Mail" mailbox and check if it's enabled. If it's not, click the "Enable" button to enable it.
  3. Check for duplicate mailboxes: Sometimes, duplicate mailboxes can cause issues. Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts, select your account, and click on the "Mailboxes" tab. Look for duplicate "All Mail" mailboxes and delete any unnecessary ones.
  4. Reset the mailbox: Try resetting the "All Mail" mailbox by going to Mail > Preferences > Accounts, selecting your account, and clicking on the "Reset" button next to the "All Mail" mailbox.
  5. Check for corrupted mailbox data: Corrupted mailbox data can cause issues. Try deleting the mailbox data and re-syncing your account. To do this, go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts, select your account, and click on the "Advanced" tab. Click on the "Remove" button next to "Mailbox Data" and then re-sync your account.
  6. Check for conflicts with other mailboxes: If you have multiple mailboxes with similar names, it might cause conflicts. Try renaming the conflicting mailboxes to resolve the issue.
  7. Update your Mac Mail app: Ensure that you're running the latest version of Mac Mail. You can check for updates by going to the App Store and clicking on the "Updates" tab.
  8. Reset your Mac Mail app: If none of the above steps work, try resetting your Mac Mail app. To do this, go to the Terminal app (located in Applications/Utilities) and type the following command: sudo killall -HUP mds and press Enter. Then, restart your Mac Mail app.
  9. Check your email provider's settings: If you're using a third-party email provider, check their settings to ensure that the "All Mail" mailbox is enabled and configured correctly.
  10. Reinstall Mac Mail: If all else fails, you can try reinstalling Mac Mail. Go to the App Store, click on the "Purchased" tab, and find Mac Mail. Click the "Install" button to reinstall the app.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may want to reach out to your email provider's support team or Apple Support for further assistance.
