Hello Alan, My replies in Situ below in colour: Before attempting any of my suggestions below, I would suggest you backup first.

When you ‘Add a mailbox’ to the The ‘Favourites Bar’ by dragging the mailbox from the Mail Sidebar, Mail doesn’t actually move the mailbox; it adds an alias for it to the Favourites bar. You could have lost your link to the server. Check the Mailboxes you dragged to the Favourites Bar from the Sidebar are NOT Disabled? Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts tab - check they are all online. If all accounts are online & you still have the Favourites mailboxes greyed out. Drag the greyed out mailboxes out of the bar and they will disappear, then drag new ones from the sidebar to replace them. > > I Rebuilt the inbox for my main mail account but this made no difference. > ~/Library/Mail/ contains V5 and V6 folders. The V5 folder is used by High Sierra. Before doing anything, make sure you have a current backup. 1. Quit Mail and move the V5 folder to the trash, but don't delete it. 2. Open Mail and verify everything still works OK and all your messages are there. Once confident everything is OK, you can empty the trash. > > I normally move mail from my Inbox to the Favourites mailboxes. I have mail > archives (outside the Mail app) up to December 2017.
