I dragged all emails from a local folder ("on my mac" - folder) in "Mail" into the general inbox of the same app. Now it says "Moving Messages 1 of 52" in the bottom left corner and nothing has been happening for days. The messages have disappeared from the local folder, but are not reappearing in the inbox. Is there anything I can do to recover these emails? Thanks in advance.

(Fixes I have tried: Restarting the computer, connecting to a different network, checking the local folder in the library (--> empty))
