If Apple Mail on your MacBook Pro 16″ running macOS 27.0 shows “The source was not found” when you try to delete certain emails, start by selecting the mailbox containing those messages and choosing Mailbox > Rebuild.


This refreshes the mailbox’s message list.


If that does not resolve it, go to Mail >> Settings >> Accounts >> [your account] >> Mailbox Behaviours and check the Trash Mailbox setting.


It is also worth trying to delete one of the same messages through your email provider’s webmail. 


This can help determine whether the problem is limited to Mail on your Mac.


If the messages are in a Smart Mailbox, open one in its original mailbox and try deleting it there. Smart Mailboxes display messages from their original locations.
