Hi Tim, I actually was rearranging boxes which had mistakenly gotten placed within other boxes when they should have been top level On My Mac mailboxes to begin with. It was a bit of a bitch having to do it visually by hand because I would otherwise keep dropping boxes within other boxes. I think I’m done for now. But if you have any further guidance on how to avoid dropping boxes into other boxes, in other words, moving boxes to the top level of On My Mac, let me know.
Thanks for revisiting this topic. Best, Kevin > On Feb 10, 2020, at 12:51 PM, 'Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > Are you moving InBoxes, or other mailboxes?
