Mail will not send selected mail to mailboxes. MAC OS 15.7.1 2019 iMac

I select a message in Inbox and try to move it to a selected labeled mail box. Click and release but mail remains in Inbox.


iMac 27″, macOS 15.7

AlWeir Thanks. I've been going into System Settings and turning off and back on Mail in the list of what is to be in the app. It works sometimes for a while. The longer I've had Mail open and the more messages I've tried to move, the more likely that messages will no longer move. I've also turned Mail off and back on and I've tried just restarting the computer. Nothing permanently fixes this problem.


When the problem is there, I not only cannot designate which should be the recipient mail box but I cannot even drag and drop the email to the proper mail box.


This is not a new problem. It has showed up with older versions of the OS. Surely Apple knows about it.?
