Hi Forum,

I'm finding more and more folders called "Recovered Messages" in Mail on my Macs with macOS 10.14. Some of these folders have hundreds of mails in them. All of these mails are mails that I have deleted at one point before (meaning that they are being "recovered" from the Trash mailboxes of some of my email addresses).

I have deleted these folders several times in the past. However, they are coming back.

What are "recovered" messages? What are they good for? Can I prevent such folders with previously deleted messages?

Greetings - desertman
