Hi,
We may try to set the root folder for your IMAP account on the laptop to 'Inbox' and then check if this issue continues. To do this, click File > Info > Account Settings > Account Settings, double click your IMAP account. Click More Settings button,
Advanced tab, enter Inbox in the "Root folder path:" box and click OK. Click Next and complete the email configuration.
