New MacBook: Email App Locked To Read Only

[RangerLG]

I bought a new MacBook Pro 2012 version that came with El Capitan installed.  I updated to Sierra before doing anything beyond initial setup.  After installing, I went to setup my email.  The Mail app shows Inbox (Read Only).  I cannot add any email accounts.  I've used First Aid in Disk Utilities and have reinstalled Sierra.  Neither have worked.  Any other suggestions?

Hmm, never seen that before. You could try deleting the Mail data folder (in Finder press CMD+SHIFT+G and enter ~/Library/Mail) and restarting Mail to see if that fixes it. 

 

Also try creating a new user account and see if the problem persists there.

Thanks.  I got it.  It finally let me add a new account.  Again, thanks for the help.

How are you able to buy a new 2012 laptop?
