Apple mail my deleted items keep re entering my inbox

That's frustrating! It's not uncommon for deleted items to reappear in your inbox, especially if you're using Apple Mail. Here are some troubleshooting steps to help you resolve the issue:

  1. Check your Trash folder: Sometimes, deleted items can be moved to the Trash folder instead of being permanently deleted. Check your Trash folder to see if the deleted items are still there. If they are, you can permanently delete them by selecting them and pressing the "Delete" key or right-clicking and selecting "Delete Permanently".
  2. Empty the Trash folder: Make sure to empty the Trash folder regularly to prevent deleted items from accumulating. You can do this by going to the "Mail" menu, selecting "Empty Trash", and then confirming that you want to delete the items.
  3. Check your Junk folder: If you have a lot of junk mail or spam, it's possible that deleted items are being moved to the Junk folder instead of being permanently deleted. Check your Junk folder to see if the deleted items are there. If they are, you can mark them as "Not Junk" or delete them permanently.
  4. Reset your Mail database: Sometimes, resetting the Mail database can help resolve issues with deleted items reappearing. To do this, go to the "Mail" menu, select "Preferences", and then click on the "Accounts" tab. Select your email account and click on the "Advanced" tab. Click on the "Reset" button next to "Reset Mailbox Database" and follow the prompts to reset the database.
  5. Check for conflicts with other apps: If you're using other apps that interact with your email account, such as email clients or plugins, they might be causing the deleted items to reappear. Try closing or uninstalling these apps to see if the issue resolves.
  6. Check your email account settings: Make sure that your email account settings are correct and that you're not accidentally setting up your account to store deleted items in your inbox. Check your email provider's settings or contact their support team if you're unsure.
  7. Try a different email client: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you might want to try using a different email client, such as Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird, to see if the problem persists.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, you can try contacting Apple Support or your email provider's support team for further assistance.
