Apple Mail duplicate messages

Hi all,
For the past month or so, I have been getting duplicate messages for all incoming emails in a specific account when using Apple Mail. The account uses exchange. My gmail account does NOT have this problem in Apple Mail. I had this problem in Leopard, and it has continued despite upgrading to Snow Leopard.
I also installed a Time Capsule at around the same time the duplicates started appearing, and in other posts on this forum some have suggested the problem is with the Time Capsule. However, the same users that stated this (and said that Apple support was able to fix the problem) did not provide an answer about exactly how to fix this issue.
Since it appears that I am not alone in having this problem, perhaps it would be useful if somebody who found a solution via talking with Apple Support could share the solution here? Or any other suggestions?
Thanks!

I would suggest that you post in the Apple.com > Support > Discussions > Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard > Mail and Address Book instead of this (Time Capsule) area.

  • Blank messages in Apple Mail, only message header seen

    Blank messages in Apple Mail, only message header seen.
    But not all messages.. and not for mails from apple domain.
    I am using,
    1. OS X 10.6.8
    2. Mail Version 4.6 (1085)
    Tried all suggestions available in the web.
    Did not help..
    Any solution, thanks in advance.

    Nevermind, the problem fixed itself. I don't know what happened; I think I restarted my computer, and the problem was gone. Nevermind!

  • My apple mail flagged messages are not showing up in the flagged folder.

    my apple mail flagged messages not showing up in the flagged folder ?

    All messages finally appeared in "Sent" in Mail.app. But it sure took some time.
    Guess there is a severe lag time between .Mac and Mail.app?

    How can i make apple mail display message body to the left not below the messages
    headers pane ? something like outlook

    There is a plugin to do this in Leopard but currently its not compatible with SL however you might like to try the beta release which has preliminary support for 10.6:

  • Apple Mail delets messages on the Server POP3

    Apple Mail delets messages on the Server Method: POP3. I use the preference to delete message if they where transfered out of the incoming box.
    Since 10.6 this seems not longer to work, what is going wrong?
    System: 10.6.4

    Hi there. This feature should work, as I have 10.6.4 and use it personally. Note that once a message is deleted from POP mail cannot put it back, so this setting once checked only applies to new messages.
    Make sure you look at the options about removing the message from the server when it's removed from the trash or after xx days.
    If these are set correctly, you may find luck in unchecking the box for leaving the messages on the server and then rechecking it.
    Lastly, you could try deleting the mail account and recreating it.

  • Apple Mail opens messages before log in

    When I launch Apple Mail, several message windows open with message contents displayed; this is before I log in to the mail server. How can I make sure Mail waits for me to log in before it opens any message windows?
    Thanks!

    I think you mentioned some widget you downloaded that introduced a NEW button ?? That's what makes it normal for you, I fear.
    Try this workaround:
    select the first message in your Inbox list
    Employ whatever means to mark it UNread with your preferred method,
    THEN ⇧ Shift + Down arrow key to just above the Subject title you wish to read
    THEN, Down arrow key or click the next in the list ("Locator for authorized repair/ ..." in my example)
    VOILA!!
    Repeat as necessary

  • Apple Mail, IMAP messages are mangled

    I have just connected to my IMAP account with Apple Mail. It appears that there is an encoding problem. (It was using Outlook for Mac before because of work obligations, but I'd really prefer to use Apple Mail.) These messages still look okay in the message view of the IMAP account through Outlook for Mac (2011 v14.2.3), but all the messages seem to mangled as far as Webmail (Roundcube) or Apple Mail (v5.2) are concerned.
    I can't find any IMAP setting options in stupid Microsoft Outlook for Mac. Does anyone know if there's one in Apple Mail that might allow me to use these emails? I'm happy to provide more info, it's really bugging me.
    All my messages look like this (source below as well):

    There is something wrong there all right. I am having the same problem.
    In my home imac, I leave Mail open when I leave for work. During the day I may access gmail via the web interface, read and/or delete some e-mails, that sort of quite normal things. When I come home, Mail in the iMac has not detected any of the changes.
    This used to work with Tiger without any problems, Mail simply saw all the changes as one would expect. Definite regression, and it would be nice to have it fixed somehow...

  • Apple Mail Missing Message

    This morning I received an email from work on my Mac. It was addressed to my Apple mail address. I use Apple Mail App. I noticed the message does not appear on my iPhone. Yes the account in set up properly as I receive other mail. I logged onto iCloud and noticed the same message missing in iCloud. The message is clearly addressed to my .mac account. What's going on? I'm worried I'm missing other mail. Mac is Mavericks, iPhone iOS 8. Thank for any insights.

    OK Solved the issue. Mail in iCloud was Sort by unread as opposed to sort by date. Original email on the iPhone was bundled with my reply to the message several hours later. Having flagged the reply on my iPhone, the message was immediately bundled in Mail on my Mac. I guess I have to sit down with mail and figure out how to deselect this feature as it causes some confusion if I try to search mail manually for a message by date and time.

  • Gmail in Apple Mail. Messages to self don't go to inbox..

    Hi. I have a gmail account that I access using Apple Mail. It is IMAP
    I frequently CC or Blind CC myself on outgoing messages.
    Most of the time the messages appear in my inbox when I check mail. Sometimes (1 out of 3) they do not appear in the inbox. They do appear in the Gmail>All mail folder and in Gmail on the web.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    The problem is that Gmail moves "deleted" messages to the All Mail category.   The trick to avoiding having 3 copies of a message in your client (Apple Mail, iPad, iPhone, etc) is to configure Gmail's IMAP settings.   Go to Settings-->Labels and look at the right side where it offeres a series of checkboxes labeled "Show in IMAP".   You can turn the various labels off or on to control which messages ("mailboxes") your IMAP client app will see.   At a minimum, you probably want to have just Inbox, Sent Mail, Drafts, and Trash.    Maybe Spam if you want to manage that on your cllient in addition to the Gmail web interface.   The key one to turn OFF is the "All Mail" label.   
    This is not a new "problem" in Lion... Gmail's IMAP has been this way all along.   But I do believe that Apple Mail in Lion auto-configures itself for Gmail so perhaps you're now seeing the problem for the first time.

  • Outbound Apple Mail Gmail Messages Trapped in Outbox

    Mavens,
    On an iMac running Mavericks (OS X 10.9 (13A603)) and Apple Mail 7.0 (1822), outbound GMail messages remain trapped in the Outbox.
    NOTE: This GMail account is using Google's 2-step Verification with an Application-specific Password for Apple Mail.
    Apple Mail does access GMail's Inbox (it seems that all Gmail Inbox messages are reflected in Apple Mail's Inbox).
    Outbound Gmail Emails remain trapped in Apple Mail's Outbox.
    ALSO—
    If Apple Mail is closed, then re-opened, it (Apple Mail) asks for the GMail password...over & over & over...the only solution I've found is to create a new Google Application-specific password. Very tedious, and quite un-Apple-like ("...it just works.").
    If you've encountered—and fixed—either of these problems...what do you suggest? Any ideas?
    Many, many thanks in advance.
    Best,
    Plane Wryter

    May have found a fix!
    Thrashing around in Mail | Preferences | Accounts...
    I painstakingly worked through all the settings for the GMail account (e.g., double-checking IMAP and SMTP parameters).
    In doing so, I notices that the setting for "TLS Certificate" was "None" (as it is for my other GMail accounts).
    On a whim, I clicked the drop-down for TLS Certificate...and selected com.apple.idms.etc.etc.
    Allons-y! It worked.
    A moment after selecting the TLS Certficate setting...the [formerly] trapped Outbox Emails launched on their way.
    If you have the same symptoms, I hope this helps.

  • Apple Mail--incoming messages

    Hi...  I am setting up a new MacBook Pro and I use Apple Mail just as I did on my old computer...  I've imported the mail and tried to set the new one up like it is/was on the old. 
    But something is different because every five minutes (or at least it seems like every five minutes) when I have Mail setup to check for new mail, I see things like
    8 incoming messages
    followed a only seconds later by say,
    15 incoming messages
    But there are no mail messages actually coming in and nor should there be??? 
    Once that message or two gets done, I look around for any new mail and there is none..  I can also immediately click the "check mail" button manually and, as expected, it will get the NO NEW MAIL sound...  But then five minues later when it's again time to check mail automatically, more often than not, here comes another barrage of
    12 incoming messages
    or something silly like that...  I thought it might be RSS feed stuff but I can't find any of that set up or running... 
    It's clearly not real messages coming in, at least nothing I can find...  And my old setup on my old computer (also Apple Mail and both old and new are running on 10.8.3, Mail version 6.3) certainly does nothing like that... 
    So what is it???  What are these phantom incoming messages??
    thanks...  bob..

    Why not just turn off the Gmail "Important" and "All Mail" labels for IMAP access? You can do this in Gmail's Webmail interface (gmail.com), under Settings (the gear icon), in the "Labels" tab. Turn off "Show in IMAP" for those two labels.

  • Apple Mail  outgoing message exceeds ISP size limit?

    A short e-mail with a 16MB attachment sent via Apple Mail was rejected because, at 21.9MB, it exceeded the 20MB limit from ISP Verizon.
    Same e-mail and attachment sent from the same computer across the same ISP via G-mail had no problem.
    Does Apple mail add 6MB of overhead to a message?
    How can I fix that?

    If the attachment is a picture or equivalent, it may be being displayed as such in the body of the email message. This could increase the size of the message as sent.
    If that is the kind of attachment, try right-clicking (or Control-clicking) on it in the New Message window; from the contextual menu that appears, select "View as Icon".
    Then test.

  • Yahoo/Apple Mail error message

    I am getting the following error message when trying to set up Yahoo mail in Apple Mail program.
    The server returned the error: The server “imap.yahoo.com” cannot be contacted on port 993.
    I have tried 995 on the port and still no work!
    What goes?

    have u tried unblocking it on your router?has it ever worked before?or is this a first time setup?

  • Apple Mail Inbox - messages keep disappearing!

    I've been searching and trying various tips from other similar discussions. Here's the deal...I switched from Entourage to Apple Mail about a year ago and imported all of my email folders and messages into Mail. Everything was setup via Gmail POP and I switched to IMAP a few months ago. Realizing that with IMAP I could now move all of my folders from "On My Mac" to "MyName" so that my folders and ALL emails would be visible in Gmail and on my iPhone, I made the move last week. Here's where the issues began.
    Each time I moved a folder, everything EXCEPT notes in my Inbox would disappear until the folder was finished moving over. I got used to that and figured it was just Mail being lazy/tired/what have you. I finished moving all of my folders and emails around on Thursday and have STILL been having the Inbox issue. I've tried rebuilding my Inbox, but it only ever seems to work if I select all Mailboxes (Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Trash & Junk) and even then it only works sometimes. I can still see my inbox messages in Gmail and my iPhone, so thankfully they aren't lost.
    I have tried repairing permissions, moving library/cache/mail and library/mail/envelope index to my desktop and rebooting. But what do I do after that? I have a feeling it may also be tied to my rules and have deleted both rules plists. Am I supposed to move the folder and files from desktop back to library after rebooting or do I have to reset my entire mail and my 100s of thousands of message??

    Have you tried changing the location of the mail server into your iPhone using your Yahoo ! account?

  • How to fix Apple Mail full message index in Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)?

    I've tried all the solutions proposed in the past five years for this recurring failure of Apple Mail.
    Many of those no longer apply because the OS X has evolved.
    In April 2013 is their an effective fix or am I forced to migrate to Thunderbird?
    Surprising that Apple has allowed this problem to continue for soooooo long.
    Or is there an APP that can find messages in mail for me? EasyFind doesn't seem to work.
    Thank you for suggestions.

    The "issue" is the need to spend my time answering inquiries smoothly, efficiently, effectively with no headaches, no hassles, no downtime. THAT's why I dumped my Windows machines and re-invested in my Macs after a long stint in Windows World.
    Fixing Apple Mail is NOT my job and certainly not "my" issue. Getting work done is my issue.
    Happy users don't try alternative software.
    Obviously the shortcoming of Apple Mail prompted you to get Postbox and "try it very briefly".
    Calling Postbox rubbish is utter nonsense. Apple Mail is not "my own" and Postbox is not "my own".
    Hardware and software are just tools to do a job and achieve an end and reach a goal.
    Plenty of torrents offer Postbox for free.
    But I was so impressed with its ease of use and comprehensive indexing that the company certainly deserves compensation for their efforts and I paid for it on the first day of a 30-day free trial.
    Religiously supporting Apple regardless of extensive and widespread reporting of Apple Mail's multiple indexing problems, aside from all of Spotlight's widely reported indexing problems and CPU power consumption, but offering NO ACTUAL help, only stating the obvious -- "You have a problem." -- is not the purpose of Apple Support Communities. That is not support.
    You offered no "steps to troubleshoot it now". You suggested no "simple but effective measures." You suggested no "maintenace tools".
    THAT'S what I needed. THAT'S what lot's of other Apple Users need. That's what you should post here and lots of people would give you plenty many points.
    All of the MANY fixes I tried were specific suggestions from the Support Community here and elsewhere trying to offer solutions that worked for them in the past -- support. Unfortunately, most of those suggestions were dated and didn't solve the problem. None of them solved the problem.
    But they did offer well-intentioned, specific "simple but effective measures" and "steps to "troubleshoot" the problem. That's what people are looking for here, not just commentary.
    In this case, best solution for me that got work (helping people) back on track was effortlessly slide into a great app that does the job with no problems whatsoever (so far).
    The APP cost LESS than a drive to the Apple Store.
    The REAL issue is solved. The REAL issue is fixed.
    And I hope this one more additional option helps other Apple users get on with USING their machine, not trying to find fixes for buggy Apple apps.
    Apple does not do all things the best.
    Apple Mail worked OK until the last quarter's multiple software updates which I accepted believing they were fixes and improvements. The Apple experience degraded.
    Any Apple Mail users experiencing problems with it should DEFINITELY consider moving to Postbox. It's great. And it's FREE for 30 days.
    It is NOT HERESY to suggest Postbox works much better than Apple Mail. It's the truth.
    Apple Mail working properly is still not as good as Postbox IN MY OPINION based on my personal experience.
    I don't sell Postbox. I don't sell apps. I'm just posting a solution for other users to consider because it was such a relief to be able to "just use" my Mac again.
