Blackberry 8800 receiving thousands of old emails

Hi, i am experiencing a bizarre issue where my work's blackberry is receiving thousands of old emails. Currently there are 8500 emails in the inbox! It is making the blackberry unusable because it is constantly receiving emails.
We used a Blackberry 8800 with BIS and Exchange Server 2003.
I've tried deleting the account from my Carrier's (o2) Internet Service site (which forwards all our exchange server's emails) to the blackberry but this hasn't stopped it. I have tested another email account we have on the exchange server and that has worked fine and only delivers those messages that it should do.
My carrier is saying that it is our exchange server and something specific to this email address (which it could be). Has anybody else had this or knows what to do on exchange server or with the carrier to get it resolved?
It seems as if the marker perhaps on the exchange server or the BIS that tells which messages are "new" has gone wrong and needs changing but i don't know where in Exchange Server or BIS this could be.
I've searched this and other forums and there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer on it.
Any help would be appreciated.

I am facing problems of a similar kind.
I have realized that I am kissing my emails from the yahoo account (from the inbox as well as stored emails from the folders). Some of the massages were recently stored some were stored while ago. I have contacted yahoo, they were checking the account and finally they have come to conclusion that it's most likely that the problems of loosing emails are caused by the mobile device. And it's true - this is something I didn't tell yahoo gays, but I have realized the emails are vanishing from the foleders once I was trying to reach them from my iPhone.
I am using iPhone 3GS with the lasted version of iOS 4.
If by ugrading I can restore my emails, then I would do this immediately.
What is the performance of your iPhone 3GS with iOS 5...?

  • Weird: receiving and sending old emails

    I am both receiving and sending old emails - from about a month ago.
    Emails that I've previously received are turning up again in my inbox. They are flagged as newly received, but the send date is from about 6 weeks ago. No message appears more than once and they are appearing in the order they were originally sent.
    In addition, my contacts are receiving emails from me again, also sent from that same period, about 6 weeks previously.
    There's another thing. Often, an email will appear in the Outbox from nowhere. This can be either an email I previously sent, or an email I've previously received. When I delete it, it goes to trash. However, when I go to inbox, or another folder, then BACK to Outbox, another email will appear in its place.
    Weird, huh?
    I've talked at length with my ISP about this and they've had me rebuild my account, only for the problem to persist.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks!

    Some if not all the problems you’ve described are caused by some index corruption (which in turn might be caused by some filesystem corruption) that makes messages to randomly appear in a mailbox different from where they’re supposed to be. If that mailbox happens to be Outbox, Mail thinks the messages are waiting to be sent and dutifully proceeds to try to send them.
    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and ensuring that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
    1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is locally stored.
    3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see any other “Envelope Index”-named file there, delete it as well.
    4. Move any “IMAP-”, “Mac-”, or “Exchange-” account folders to the Trash. Note that you can do this with IMAP-type accounts because they store mail on the server and Mail can easily re-create them. DON’T trash any “POP-” account folders, as that would cause all the mail stored there to be lost.
    5. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index — Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
    6. As a side effect of having removed the IMAP account folders, those accounts may be in an “offline” state now. Do Mailbox > Go Online to bring them back online.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

  • Receiving 3 yr old emails

    I have my curve set up with yahoo mail, which has worked fairly well until recently.  I have begun to receive a lot of old emails that show as new messages.  Most of these messages are from 2004....any suggestions?
    Thanks

    It certainly wouldn't hurt to make the iPad as kid-friendly as possible.
    1. Max out the Parental Control options, and make the child a guest user. That way, the Admin has control over the iPad.
    2. Get lots of kid-friendly games and media. Tons on the App Store.
    3. Invest in something to minimize breakage. Kids will break anything, given the chance.
    4. An iPad can be great for a kid, but you should at least be aware of competing devices for kids.

  • New iMac--getting thousands of old email messages!

    I just got a new iMac and after I added my MobileMe email address in Apple Mail, it started downloading 8,000 old email messages! I have checked in Apple Mail Preferences and in MobileMe mail preferences and I cannot figure out what I need to change in order to tell the MobileMe Mail server to delete all email messages that are over two years old. Can someone help me figure this out?
    Thanks!

    There is no way to do this automatically with an Inbox that resides on the IMAP server. Such a time setting is only available with a POP3 server -- in which case deleting from the server does not delete from the Mac.
    If you create a Smart Mailbox to segregate the older messages so you can manually delete them, then if you do that, they will not be on the old Mac either.

  • Received all my old emails after downloading update

    I downloaded the ios5 update and got all my old emails back that I deleted

    Delete the email account and add it back. When you add it back it will give you the option of how far back you want to sync. It sounds like it may have defaulted back to 'forever.'

  • Why is Macbook Mail suddenly redownloading thousands of old emails?

    Hi everyone,
    More MacMail weirdness - this time a *major* problem.
    This morning, no idea why, Mac Mail has suddenly started redownloading emails I received *years* ago, including spam, trash, and junk mail. It's constantly flashing them up on my screen as "New Messages" and "Incoming Mail". On the Macbook it's putting them directly into the ALL MAIL folder, so at least my Inbox seems clear. However, on my iPad it's putting all these many thousands of emails directly in my iOS Mail inbox, making the application completely unusable - it's just flooded with constantly updating very old junk email and spam.
    Nothing has changed on my settings that I know of. Obviously it's a bit of a disaster as the email app on my iPad is now unusable.
    What can I do to stop this? Why is it suddenly happening?
    Cheers,
    Sarah

    This is my web setting for gmail
    Notice what is checked.  Now my corresponding Mac Mail sidebar
    All mail is a hodpodge.  I would not turn that on or (as you can see) even let it be shown.

  • How can I limit the number of emails on my device with a POP account. Thousands of old emails keep loading, no way to rid them, without deleting each one! Using up all my storage on device! Crazy! Help!

    Help, where is the limiting selection for the number of messages to retain on device? How can I get rid of old, read, messages? Just a problem since upgrade to new ios7

    IOS 7.1.1 doesn't show a "days to sync" parameter anywhere in SETTINGS/Mail,Contacts,Calendars/ACCOUNTS/GMAIL Account/ GMAIL Acccount Info.  There is nothing in iTunes relating to such an option either.  So, it seems I'm back to square one.
    If you have a decent mail provider like Microsoft Hotmail or Outlook.com mail it does.
    If you have Gmail it does not.  Quite right. Gmail is rubbish.

  • What changed in OS X Maverick with exchange and hotmail? thousands of old emails are coming as if they're new, filling my inbox!

    I'm running Office for MAC 2011 (Exchange/Outlook) with multiple exchange accounts as well as a hotmail account which all were running fine for years.  After I upgraded to OS X, my hotmail account detected over 1000+ emails as new and began downloading them with the current date/time.  Once it completed, I deleted all of them hoping it was a one time thing...no such luck.  Now, 1-2 times a day it detects the same 1000+ messages as new and downloads them to my inbox.  What the heck is going on?!

    Try re-indexing the mailboxes. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

  • Restrain download of old emails

    I have a MacBook Air. My email address is a Gmail one and everytime I checked my emails it downloaded thousands of old emails that already were in my inbox. At the Apple Store they fixed something in my Gmail settings on internet and it has stopped doing that, but it still continues to download random old emails. How can I stop it? thank you

    I didn't get a repair ticket. They did a change in "Forwarding and POP/IMAP', now, thie setting says:
    "1. Status: POP is enabled for all mail that has arrived since 2 May"
    "Status: IMAP is enabled"

    iCloud is running amuck syncing thousands of old emails on my computer onto my iPhone!!!!  HELP!!!
    I transitioned to iCloud and although over the years I delete emails off my phone, they remain in my inbox (as an archive of thousands). Now iCloud is intending to load them onto my iPhone, 50 at a time.  Is there a setting where iCloud will leave these alone and stop trying to upload them?
