How can i prevent mail from downloading the same messages over and over again?

is there any way to prevent Mail from downloading the same messages over and over again? Mail has a minimum of "50 recent messages" to download, but i hate having to delete them every time i check for new mail! why doesn't the program remember if you have already downloaded a message, and suppress any subsequent downloads???

Same issue since Mavericks.

Basically the message is saying the phone can't talk to the place where your email is stored for some reason. This could be an incorrect username/password, or some other issues. Follow the steps in this article and see if they help:

Can't Send Mail Via HughesNet SMTP Server

After installing 10.5 I find that I can receive mail from my ISP (HughesNet) but I can't send mail through the smtp server. I've tried every setting possible and even duplicated the settings off my wife's 10.4.10 iMac and I still can't send mail. All I see is that the smtp service is "Offline."
Fortunately, I have a .Mac account so I can send mail using that smtp server. But I'd like to be abel to use my HughesNet server.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

My mom uses RoadRunner by Time Warner. She was able to receive email using Leopard and Mail but not send. SMTP server was the big problem like everyone else here experienced. We finally were able to get it to work using many ideas here. What we did:
1) Delete com.apple.mail.plist from the User/Library/Preferences folder (BACK UP YOUR EMAIL FIRST)
2) Open Mail and create a new account but disable the automatic set-up feature, put your info in manually.
3) Uncheck " Use only this server" from the outgoing mail
4) Under the Advanced tab on Mail Prefs "port set to 25", Uncheck "SSL" box, and uncheck "Use Authentication"
5) Now hit Create
It took Mail about 20 minutes to contact the SMTP server, but it did and now I can send and receive Mail without any problems on her computer.
Bad Apple...stop criticizing MS and Vista when your own house is not in order yet. Hope this helps someone out there.....

How can I prevent Mail from applying actions (moving/copying/flagging/marking read) to duplicate messages?

I use Mail to check multiple accounts. When I receive the same e-mail in multiple accounts, actions applied to an e-mail in one account often (though not always) affect duplicate messages in other accounts.
Example 1
Someone sends an e-mail to both me and my wife. Mail is set up to check both accounts. If I open the message in my Inbox, it marks it as read in my Inbox as well as in my wife's Inbox.
Example 2
For historical reasons, I have chosen to have all my e-mail forwarded (by the server) to a second account, to be used essentially as an un-touched archive of all incoming mail. If I manually move a message from my main account Inbox to another mailbox, the destination mailbox will end up with 2 copies, one from my main account Inbox and the other from the "un-touched archive" Inbox (which has obviously now been altered unintentionally).
Does anyone know of a way to prevent this behavior. I can manage my own duplicates. I don't want Mail to do it for me.
(Btw, I already have the "AlwaysShowDuplicates" option set using "defaults delete com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates")

There are certainly many ways of organizing things so that Mail never has to deal with multiple accounts and duplicate messages (separate user accounts, separate computers, separate mail clients, etc., etc). That's just not what I was asking. I'd like to know how to fix Mail's behavior when it does have to deal with multiple accounts and duplicate messages.
I was hoping there might be another hidden preference or something (and by the way my original post should have said "defaults write com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates -bool true", instead of the "defaults delete ...")

How can I setup mail serveice in Lion server

Where can I set the smpt and pop server's name?Why my mail account cannot link the server ?

Can't get mail folders from IMAP server, why?

I set up my IMAP mail server, but i only see the inbox and not the other mail folders in the in the mail server.
why can i get my other mail folders from ther server?

Allan - Here's the other odd thing. Currently, I have my old mail account AND my new MM account both feeding into and out of Outlook. But since adding my MM acct. - even though I set it as my default mail acct. - the hierarchy tree of Outlook folders is still treating my old acct. as king and my new MM acct. as second class. I know, what's that mean? I have my overriding "Personal Folders" folder, with the sub-folders (in addition to customized ones I added) - all of these at the same level - 'Deleted Items'; 'Inbox' (for my old account); 'Junk E-mail'; 'RSS Feeds'; 'Sent Items' and "Search Folders". Then, below that, but at the same hierarchy level as "Personal Folders", I have my MM's root of an IMAP store folder that has as its name my email address, including the "@me.com". Under that, at the same level of importance as my 'Deleted Items', etc. for my old account is my MM account's "Inbox", "Junk E-mail", "Sent" (which, like I said, I created when I sent the first email from my newly created MM account), and "Search Folders"... that's it. If I delete an email from my MM acct., or am in the process of creating an email in my MM acct., I can only find it in the aforementioned "Deleted Items" or "Draft" folders, as my MM acct. doesn't have these. Is this perhaps one indicator of my sent mail synching problem? Or does one have nothing to do with the other? Does Outlook only provide one each of "Drafts", "Deleted Items" and "Outbox" that all accounts share?

Internal mail can not send. mail stored in draft folder.

Hello all,
I have Exchange server 2010 installled on Win Server 2k8 R2 which is running on VMware workstatione. I installed three server OS (2k8 R2) and that server one is my AD and DNS server. On another two OS, one is for Hub transport and CAS role and
second one is for Mailbox server. In exchange, I am able to configure new mailbox or Database. But through OWA, my mail cant send. User can able to login into server. He can access OWA page as well can access for Address book. But when I send the mail for
internal user, it is stored in draft folder. also meeting schedule can not send. I am testing exchange in lab environment. Please help me to resolve this issue.

Hi,
From your description, I recommend you run the Test-ServiceHealth cmdlet to verify if all the Windows services that Exchange server requires have started, especially the Microsoft Exchange Transport service.
If all the services that Exchange server required are started, please use message tracking to trace these undelivered messages and check if there is any error.
Hope it helps.
Best regards,
Amy

Can't Send Mail with Same Outgoing Server

I have 2 Roadrunner accounts that use the same outgoing smtp server. In order for me to send email (receiving POP email is not a problem), I have to set the outgoing server for port 25, no SSL and no authentication. I can get one of the accounts to work. But, when I try to set up the 2nd roadrunner account with the same settings on the same outgoing server, I get an error from OSX mail telling me the following:
"Could not save the changes
The servers marked with alert icons are in conflict and cannot be saved. Two servers cannot share the same address and authentication settings. Resolve the conflicts and try again."
Can someone help me figure out how to get around this? I'd really like to send mail from my accounts.
Thanks!

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
Perhaps I'm missing something, but can't you have both accounts use the same SMTP server? If you're still trying to create the second account using the account creation wizard, I'd try giving it dummy SMTP information, then change it to use the real SMTP server once the account is created.

Where can I configure mail quotas in Lion Server?

One (minor) problem for me, after upgrading from SnowLeopard Server to Lion Server is the fact, that I can't figure out where to administer the mail quotas. So far I have just managed to find the "Server Admin". Here, under Mail -> Maintenance I can see the quotas and under Mail->Settings->Quotas I can enable quota warnings and edit them. But I can't find a place to configure individual quotas. The quota settings from SnowLeopard server have been migrated and are still in place. But how should I change them. It used to be in WorkgroupManager. But in WorkgroupManager this item is gone.
Many thanks for your replies.

Followng up a bit,
In looking into OD records on my Snow Leopard Server via the Inspector in WGM, I see the following attribute for one of my users for whom I've set a 1024mb mail quota.
Name:
MailAttriute
Value:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dict>
          <key>kAPOPRequired</key>
          <string>APOPNotRequired</string>
          <key>kAltMailStoreLoc</key>
          <string></string>
          <key>kAttributeVersion</key>
          <string>Apple Mail 1.0</string>
          <key>kAutoForwardValue</key>
          <string></string>
          <key>kIMAPLoginState</key>
          <string>IMAPAllowed</string>
          <key>kMailAccountLocation</key>
          <string>[redacted].[redacted].org</string>
          <key>kMailAccountState</key>
          <string>Enabled</string>
          <key>kPOP3LoginState</key>
          <string>POP3Allowed</string>
          <key>kUserDiskQuota</key>
          <string>1024</string>
</dict>
I'm wondering if manually entering this attribute, and an XML value with at least the kUserDiskQuota key included will be all I need to do to implement per-user quotas in Lion Server.
If I get time, I will test and report back.

Can't Send Mail - "Address rejected by server"

I cannot send mail as of last night. I have browsed these forums and come close to an answer, but not quite. Here are my particulars:
Mail app.
.Mac email address
Rogers Highspeed for ISP (but only a .Mac address)
And here's what happened:
Tried to send a bulk email, 189 persons, with a picture attachment (150 kb) And since then (last night) have not been able to send. Message I get is as follows:
"This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
The sender address [email protected] was rejected by the server."
So I tried to change ports from 25 to 587, and back.
I deleted the Account, twice, and added it again.
Checked the SMTP server lists.
Deleted the apple.plist
Deleted the Mail cache
Connection Doctor 2 green lights
I understand it has something to do with a Spam blocker, but I only use .Mac for my email, I have no other account. So I don't know how to change the smtp server to an account I don't have.
My ISP is Rogers, (Canada) their SMTP address is smtp.rogers.broadband.com; Mail won't connect to this server.
So what else can I do? I also received a 4.0.0. message saying I exceeded my 400 senders in a 24 hour period, but I only sent less than 200, and it's been more than 24 hours by now.
Thanks for your help;
D.

Just a crazy shot in the dark, but could you change your smtp settings for the .mac account? (I'm guessing mail.mac.smtp or something... I have no experience with .mac personally).
Normally, from what I understand, a lot of ISP prefer there own smtp settings (smtp.yahoo.com) which I would normally say to try, but obviously you are doing that with Roger.
Can you quickly set up an email account with Roger? your paying for that aren't you?
If not that, delete the outgoing mail box items. Start over...Selecting under 200 (click on one name, and "shift"down about 200? I guess) drag and drop into the email "To"... then do that again tommorow.
Other than that, all I can think of is getting your own .com/net/org or something, thru a Web Host Provider that allows that much out going mail.
Personally, I'm not so sure of the purpose of getting a .mac account... there seems to be too many limitations on what you can do with it, as opposed to just getting your own .com or .net account

How can I prevent Mail from Getting Messages Automatically?

I want to stop Apple Mail from getting new messages until I click on the "Get Mail" button.
This is proving hard to achieve.
In Mail Preferences, I have set Check for New Messages to "Manually."
This does nothing.
Additionally, I went to each account, went into the Advanced tab and unchecked "Include when automatically checking for new messages."
This also changed nothing.
This should be fairly easy to achieve, and yet it is not. Any thoughts on how I can set this up? I have one iCloud account, one Google Apps via IMAP account and one generic IMAP account. They all seem to ignore the settings for message fetching.
I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. Apple Mail version 8.2 (2070.6).
Mid-2011 iMac 21.5", 16GB Ram, 2.5 GHz Quad-Core i5.

Same issue since Mavericks.

How can i prevent the resizing of JOptionPane error message box? Urgent plz

hi all,
i have an application which display error dialog box at many insatnces in the application.
I use JOptionPane.showMessageDialog to display the errors.
Now the problem is the error box is resizable. But i want to prevent the error box from resizing.
how can i achieve this?
thanx,
-Soni

i used the same code and i got it working correctly...
thanx a lot fot it...
now i have one more problem with it.
Actually i created a new class 'ErrorDialog' and the function showErrorDialog() inside it.
now i want the option YES_NO_OPTION and the function sayshowMsgDialog() returning int value indicating the option selected from the dialog box.
I tried it with following code
public
static
int
confirmDialog( String message_in, Component parent_in, String title_in,
int messageType_in )
try
JOptionPane pane = new JOptionPane( message_in, messageType_in,
JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION );
JDialog dialog = pane.createDialog( parent_in, title_in );
dialog.setResizable( false );
dialog.show();
int optionType = -1;
try
optionType = ( ( Integer )( pane.getValue() ) ).intValue();
catch( Exception ee )
optionType = -1;
dialog.dispose();
return optionType;
catch( Exception e )
e.printStackTrace();
but, since return is after dispose() it is throwing an error 'missing return value'
can i get some kind of solution for this?
waiting eagerly...........
