MacOS mail VIP not working

Clicking on any VIP in the sidebar just gives ALL email. Have removed / un-vip'd all vip and still VIP box shows all emails - same as inbox. Have rebuilt mailbox several times and rebooted. No change. So VIP is no-longer working.

VIP on family member and they get ALL emails. Un VIP's and re-vip'd and still the same.

Ideas, please

Thanks

I finally fixed it. hope it helps. The entire 2025 with this bug Apple.


Go to the VIPs folder. Select Any VIP box. Go to View>Sort By>Select All MailBoxes.

Close Mail, Open mail again, Everything should be fine.
