Fixing Apple Mail When It’s Stuck on Downloading Messages

Fixing Apple Mail When It’s Stuck on “Downloading Messages” Link to heading I ran into one of those bugs that slowly drives you insane. I had just formatted my Mac. Fresh install, clean setup, everything working great. I added my accounts to Mail.app, opened it, and it looked… perfect. Folders were there. Inbox counts looked correct. It even said: “Downloading messages… 5,379 new messages” Nice.
