Odd new "RegMail" mailbox in Apple Mail (9.2)

0

A few days ago I had a new mailbox in Apple Mail, which I did not create but which is listed under my on-line account with GMX.

The mailbox is called "RegMail", it isn't on GMX and it doesn't delete. If I delete the mailbox from ~/Library.Mail/. it comes back. Nothing shows up under a virus scan and it contains no emails. Rebuild and sync do not get rid of it.

Anyone else seen this? How to get rid?

I've also experienced this issue. It doesn't seem to be anything to worry about though. I've logged into GMX, and the folder doesn't exist there, which means it's a local issue, possibly how the email client connects. I'm using Aqua Mail.

Indeed, I'm using Apple Mail and Airmail. Both show the rogue mailbox. It does not exist on GMX and I can't delete it. Oddly, I think it has something to do with Google (the new owners of GMX) wanting to peddle gmail (hence Re gMail). Can';t be bothered to report it to GMX just so they can write back saying I should consult the FAQ. Fastmail adopted this approach to lazy customer service this and I closed my account. I may well give GMX their marching orders, I cannot abide this kind of stupidity. – Dave – 2016-02-25T04:18:48.793

I might get another insulting badge from SU though, so I suppose I may have to flip them the bird again. Wake up lads; support good, arrogance bad, get on with the job you get paid for. – Dave – 2016-02-25T04:23:55.430
