Apple Mail rules keep reappearing after I deleted them!

I created some rules in Apple Mail to play a bit around but after I deactivated and finally deleted them, they keep appearing and formatting all my mails.
So now I have no rules defined under preferences but they are still somehow active.
How can I remove them completely?

I have this exact same problem. I created a rule for Mail to move e-mails, with some given keywords in them, into the junk folder. Then I removed the rule completely, deleted it. But all incoming e-mail are still moved to the folder. Although I have NO rules left.

  • Reminder lists,.....keep reappearing after I delete them

    No matter where I delete lists I created,.....a few minutes later they reappear. I synch reminders with the iCloud but I figured when I delete them from the actual iCloud account on line it would permanently delete them,......no luck.

    Open the Mail preferences window and select the Accounts tab. Select one of the IMAP accounts from the list on the left. Under Mailbox Behaviors, uncheck the box marked
              Store junk messages on the server
    Repeat for all other IMAP accounts, if any. Close the window and save the changes.

  • HT204003 how do I permanently delete a pass from my passbook account? (It keeps reappearing after being deleted.)

    I have a pass in passbook that keeps reappearing after being deleted. It pops up (location sensitive) despite the fact that I have disabled the location services, repeatedly. I need to permanently delete it.

    Hi, sophiaskoub.
    Thank you for the question.  The most common cause for this is having Automatic Downloads enabled on the secondary computer.  See the first article on how to disable this feature.  The other attached articles cover how to delete media from iTunes and hiding any purchases that have been made.

  • Mailbox keeps reappearing after I delete it.

    This isn't a major problem, but I have a subfolder in my trash mailbox that keeps reappearing after I delete it (it shows up as "on my mac"). I didn't create that mailbox and I really don't want it. How do I delete it for good?

    These are "On My Mac" mailboxes.
    When creating a mailbox in Mail, the default location is "On My Mac" which is stored locally on the hard drive.
    If you have a .Mac or IMAP type account, you can also choose the account name as the location to create a mailbox stored on the server.

  • Deleted emails in Apple Mail IMAP account reappear after deleted

    I delete the emails in my Apple Mail for an IMAP Gmail account, but the email keep reappearing as undeleted.

    Thank you so much!!!
    Just switched to IMAP from POP and this was really bugging me. 
    Force closing Mail worked for me too.

  • My deleted emails keep reappearing!  cannot delete them!

    I have a weird problem. In Mail, I keep getting a ton of deleted old emails. They just reappear in the inbox. I rebuilt the envelope index file. I rebuilt the mailbox. Still same problem.
    It is a comcast POP email account.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help with this!

    I have the same problem
    I discovered that if I look at emails that have been sent to trash, select them and press delete they all come back into the trash. When I do the proper erase deleted messages then they don't.
    I noticed some people were having this problem on iphone as well.
    I now have emails coming back into the Trash weeks, or months after I have deleted them, particularly ones with photos attached that I have sent through Kodak EasyShare, and copied to myself!! does anyone know what I can do about this? apart from being a waste of time, I might receive 100 photos in one day which slows everything down and effects my data usage.
    And sometimes their are multiple maybe 5, copies of the same emails
    apart from that
    I often receive two copies of the same emails, one will go into my inbox and one to trash or wherever I have a rule set for it to go.
    I have loads of emails, I sort them all into folders with rules, and keep them for easy reference, especially if they are about work, would this have anything to do with it? Is there a limit on how many emails you can keep?

  • Why ar my voicemails reappearing after I delete them?

    I am with AT&T and have a 5s. I have deleted my voice messages at least six different times today. The same voice messages keep reappearing. What's the deal? One of my co workers has had the same issue. Swapped his phone and is still having the same exact problem.

    But it's only supposed to download new content. So if I delete old items, then I expect to only auto download the new items from that day.

  • How can I delete an email message on iphone that keeps reappearing after I delete it?

    I have received 1 email that I can not delete from my iphone 4.  I delete it and it ust reappears. same if I move it to trash. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of this email?

    You can't delete from one without affecting the other.  simply change the limit on how many days of mail you want the phone to sync.
    Do you really need 61,000 emails?

  • Duplicate Genius Mixes keep reappearing after I remove them

    iTunes keeps generating duplicate Genius Mixes. I right click on them and remove them but when I go back to Genius Mixes they're back again.
    Also the duplicate ones contain songs that don't fit under the title. For instance, iTunes generates 3 Singer/Songwriter mixes, one which is the original one and contains Stevie Nicks, Billy Joel, Elton John and others, while the other two mixes contain Herman's Hermits, New World, The Beach Boys, The Turtles and The Monkees, all of which don't fit into the Singer/Songwriter genre.
    I don't think it should be a problem for iTunes to generate different mixes, considering that I have over 5,000 items in my library and a wide variety of genres.
    How do I stop iTunes from generating the same mixes?

    I have this exact same problem. I created a rule for Mail to move e-mails, with some given keywords in them, into the junk folder. Then I removed the rule completely, deleted it. But all incoming e-mail are still moved to the folder. Although I have NO rules left.

  • For the last two days my hotmail emails keep repopulating after I delete them from my ipad 2 or iPhone 4S. Please help!

    What the heck is happening? I've had my ipad for 3 years and my iPhone for 1 1/2 years and NEVER experienced anything like this before! Does anyone know why this is happening and most important, how to stop it?

  • Hi after upgrading to mountain lion my mail rules keep disappearing this has only happened since i installed mountain lion.

    Hi after upgrading to mountain lion my mail rules keep disappearing???  this has only happened since i installed mountain lion.

    I had Mountain Lion on two Macs. Mail rules were set up on a third Mac running Lion.  I migrated everything on the Lion Mac across to a new iMac running Mountain Lion so now I have Mail rules on a Mountain Lion Mac.  At least I should have. Several times a day the rules disappear.  I assume this is iCloud synching messing up.  I keep re-entring the rules but they vanish again and I'm getting tired of the game.
    Large chunk of my Safari bookmarks bar also disappear at random intervals.  It seems that iCloud can handle two Mountain Lion Macs on the same Apple ID, but can't cope with three.

    How come my messages keep coming back after I delete them???

    Apple's Mail application can use either IMAP or POP. In fact Gmail can be set either way.

  • Apple Mail Rules dont apply when mail is READ on other devices!

    Hi,
    I use IMAP settings on Apple Mail (v4.5) and also check my emails on the iPhone (iPhone also set up with IMAP). However if i have read an email on the iPhone then when i switch my computer on the incoming Apple Mail Rule that applies to that sender does not seem to work. It keeps the mail within my Inbox and does not transfer the mail/message to the desired folder.
    However, if the same sender sends me an email which i do not read on the iPhone and then switch my Apple Mail ON, then the mail is automatically transferred to the desired folder.
    It looks like the problem is only with READ mail and not UNREAD mail. 
    Is there a fix for this? There seems to be a lot of people having the same issue and was wondering if there is any work around on this?
    Would really appreciate any help from anyone on this.
    Regards,
    Jay
    PS: I recently moved from Outlook 2011 on MAC to Apple Mail as i heard is a far superior mail application and works smoothly. So far everything about Apple Mail has been correct, it is a fantastic app, however this Rule problem is pretty basic and surprised that Apple still has not fixed this.

    Hi Glenn,
    Many thanks for this. Unfortunately i dont have this facility on the server as we are using a simple opensource mail delivery and storage service, so the rules would have to be set up on the computer.
    I was using Outlook 2011 and prior that was using Entourage 2008 and both worked well with the IMAP rules. Nothing was ommitted and everything READ or UNREAD was imported and the rules applied. It's only in Apple Mail that these rules dont seem to work.
    Is there no other work around? No Apple Mail Add-Ins? I see quite a number of people complaining about the same problem and i'm surprise that Apple has not found a solution for this.
    Anyway, thank you soo much for your reply. Much appreciated.
    Regards,
    Jay

  • TS3276 why the emails keep coming into my inbox after I delete them?

    My emails keep coming into my inbox after I deleted them. Why is that?

    It sounds like your ISP's Mail Server is an IMAP type that retains the Mail on the Server.  You need to go into your Mail> Preferences>Accounts> and set the Mail to Delete from the Server, after a set amount of time.
    Hope this helps

  • What happens to the mail in my iMac after I delete it from my iPhone? Will it be deleted from my computer as well?

    What happens to the mail in my iMac after I delete it from my iPhone? Will it be deleted from my computer as well?

    If they are both using the same iCloud ID (assuming you are running your mail from iCloud), then yes, the email will disappear from your Mac after you delete it from your phone and after your phone sycs with iCloud and your Mac syncs with iCloud.
    I use a windows phone, but it works the same.
