Mail 12.4:
I am using Mail for the first time, having imported mailboxes from MS Entourage 2008. I am using a POP account and Classic View. I enabled the Attachments column, and it shows the paperclip icon at the top, but nothing appears in that column when I receive an email with an attachment. I can access the attachment when viewing the email via the paperclip icon that appears after the sender's name.
I have rebuilt the mailbox, to no avail. I have also tried unchecking Attachments in View > Columns and rechecking it but that has not worked. A web search shows some suggestions for Sierra that don't apply to Mojave and I have not found anything specific to Mojave. Apparently, this is a common issue.
How do I fix this? Perhaps it will work in Catalina but I won't know until I upgrade the OS.

I just confirmed that on my MBP. It's a new one on me, but I can tell you that it is NOT Mail 12.4's only bug, and that some of the others have been perpetuated in version after version. Mail is not as good an app as it once was! (Try scrolling through trash when you've got a few items in there, and see what happens.)

Thanks, Artie. Trash does not show attachments either.
I submitted a bug report to Apple and I'll post back with their response.

That's not what I meant, Jon.
If I've got a bunch of items in trash and want to recover one of them, many or all show the same contents when I scroll through them, often making find the right one an infuriating exercise.
Maybe you're luckier than I am.
