Hi, Try rebuilding the mailbox:
Rebuild mailboxes In some cases, you might need to rebuild a mailbox to update the list of messages in the mailbox. For example, you might need to do this if messages appear to be missing or garbled, or if you can’t find all relevant messages when you search using Entire Message. Rebuilding a mailbox can take a while depending on how many messages are in the mailbox. Select a mailbox, and then choose Mailbox > Rebuild. When you rebuild mailboxes for Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) and Exchange accounts, locally cached messages and attachments are discarded, and the messages and attachments are downloaded again from the server to your computer. Your mailbox appears empty until the download is complete. Cheers!!
