Several of my mailboxes appear to have been corrupted and show white rather than blue in the mailbox panel. This has happened over some time and I find that mail that I put in them does not show. For all of them the Rebuild option is greyed out, for the blue mailboxes it is active.

How do I fix these mailboxes?

Hi Severin,

Did you create those mailboxes as below?

Copied from Mail Help.

To create a mailbox that contains another mailbox (or subfolder), type the name for the mailbox and the subfolder separated by a forward slash ("/"). For example, if you type "Apple Mail/Apple Newsletters," a mailbox named Apple Mail will be created, with a mailbox named Apple Newsletters inside it. (Note that if you create a mailbox this way, the enclosing mailbox can only contain other mailboxes, not messages. Such mailboxes appear white in the mailboxes list, instead of blue.)

Cheers,
Ronni
