Bug in my mail box!

I have come to my computer after forgetting to switch it off when I went away and a 'mail delivery system failure' has been sending to my computer about 5 or 6 emails every five minutes for several days. Help!

If the duplicates are all in POP accounts then it might be to do with Exchange 2007 and not Snow Leopard. I found a few websites that discussed the duplicate mails for both Macs and PCs using Exchange 2007. For example: http://hms.harvard.edu/hmsit/pg.asp?pn=email_preventduplicates
This happened to me when I installed SL at home. I thought it was a SL issue until I went to work (which still runs Tiger) and I found that the duplicates had arrived there too. When I looked at the duplicate mails in on my Tiger mail - I found that there were very minor differences in the duplicates - eg. in one email the sender was "Bob Brown" while in the second email the sender was "[email protected]" - it is almost as if somehow the mails left on Exchange were recognised with a different code. It seemed rather a coincidence that it all started when I installed SL. So I think that the connection between SL and the Exchange server sparked off that difference in code recognition?? Exchange servers are complex creatures which I don't claim to understand them.
And some people in this thread seem to have had duplicates with IMAP as well and I don't understand that one either.
But I can offer one work around to the multiple emails. If you create a smart mail box with the single criteria that all unread messages go in there. When the duplicates come in you can at least save time and delete the duplicates easily from that smart folder without having to manually identify the duplicate mails.

I found the solution to a Mavericks bug on the Mail program. How can I share it? Several of my mail boxes stopped functioning properly when I updated to Mavericks. After long hours, I discovered that if I change the name of the mailbox, the content works.

I found the solution to a Mavericks bug on the Mail program. How can I share it? Several of my mail boxes stopped functioning properly when I updated to Mavericks. The title of the mails stored in the mailbox appear, but the content was unavailable.
After 4 long hours at the phone with the Apple staff unable to help me, I discovered that if I change the name of the mailbox, the contents of the mails stored there become available.
Please, make this solution available to other people!

You have found the the way to share it. Include your problem and its solution in a forum post in the Mavericks forums. Then mark you own post with a green solved star.
Note. You won't get any points for that; points are only awarded where you mark someone else's post as either helpful or solved.

There used to be a preview window in mail where you could read the message in the mail box but now its gone. It just shows me who its from and the date. I now have to click on the message twice to get it to display. How do I get the preview box back?

There is a bug in Mail triggered by receiving a password-protected PDF as an attachment. According to reports, the bug is fixed in OS X 10.8.5.

What exactly is a smart mail box?

I have searched around and cannot quite workout what the difference between a normal mail and a smart mail box is....just seems like a glorified way of implementing rules?

Annoyingly, in Lion, Smart Mailboxes have a very grim bug, rendering them only partially usable.
I have a SmartBox for 'Unread" mails.
This is usually selected as this is where I want to see mail that has got past all my rules and remains Unread.
Sadly, the Lion smartmailboxes don't update while theyre selected, even though their badge updates with the number of messages in there.
So, to actually see the unread messages I have to click to another mailbox completely and click back* to the Unread smartBox. Only then do I actually get to see the messages in there.
totally *****.

Can't set up a new mail box

When I try to create a new mail box I get the following error message:
"Mailbox Creation Failed
Unable to create path ~ /Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Saved.mbox."
What am I doing wrong?
PowerPC /g4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Mail has a bug that causes ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes to sometimes be a file instead of a folder, and that prevents Mail from creating any mailboxes there.
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 filesystem issues, if any, proceed as follows:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/.
3. Locate Mailboxes. If it’s a file instead of a folder, move it to the Trash.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

Can not create mail box with iphone5s

I can't create additional mail box entries using iphone5s

I know that this thread is little old but I met the bug now and it is still not fixed and 2 days I lost to find workaround.
I have installed grid for AIX on AIX 6.1 TL6.
I have presented two SAN LUNs with size 1TB, AIX sees two 1048576M size disks ( you can use bootinfo -s hdisk* command). Mutlipathing driver is installed and configured.
I am wondering why there is not so much information on Internet about this bug, becouse asmca cannot work with the bih disks.
kfod gives me the wrong size as yours.
I found in My support following buginfo which describes the bug BUG:9495887
So I downloaded and installed the following patch for 11.2.0.1 : 9495887 (you must know that this issue is not fixed in newer version too. there is patches for 11.2.0.2
So I installed the patch. But kfod still shows the wrong result (so asmca cannot work).
As it is explained as workaround you must create or alter diskgroups with exact point the size of the disk using SQL
For example:
SQL> alter diskgroup datadg add disk '/dev/rhdisk9' size 1048576M;

Automator bug in Group Mailer action

Hello, I think there's a bug with the Group Mailer action. The first time I ran the workflow it only worked partially. Not all the mails included the email message. When I ran the workflow again it only included the greeting and completely left out the email Message from the "New Mail message" action.
I have the following workflow setup:
New Mail Message
Get Specified Address Book Items
Group Mailer
Send outgoing mail
The workflow will include the email message if I deselect the "add greeting" from the "Group Mailer" action. But then I won't have the personal greeting. I might as we'll use "bc" in the email instead of using Automator.
Please help.
Thanks.

The workflow works with some restrictions only to be found by trial and error (i bought SerialMailer to avoid further irritation).
I translated the workflow commands from Dutch into English, excuse if me I do not use the correct wording.
First [create new mail message] (You cannot use any formatting or import text, result panel will show mail)
Next [Search address book groups] (Results panel should show the group)
Then [send e-mail to group] (you can use the "dear" etc check box
a bubble will connect the search group and send e-mail box
Finally [send outgoing mail].
You cannot select a concept mail in your Apple Mail, Automator needs to create one and Automator will put it in the outgoing mailbox (this box you cannot reach as user, it is hidden!).
Good luck

Mail Box open in Other computer\account

hi
Is there any way to know if my mail box is open in other computer\account ?
for Example Goole . Last Account Activity
Thank you
Dano

Hi,
In Exchange 2013, we can use
Get-MailboxStatistics cmdlet to find Last Logon Time for a user with Exchange mailbox by the following command:
Get-MailboxStatistics –Identity “user”
Otherwise, please refer to the following link to get recent activity. The “Recent activity” page shows info about the activity in your Microsoft account, within the last 30 days. This includes any time that you signed in to your account, whether you used
a web browser, your phone, an email app, a third-party app, or another method.

Is there a limit to the number of mail boxes in mail?

I cannot set up a new mailbox under the mail box menu within Mail. All I get is a "boing.

Mail is set to check every 5 minutes.
The error it reports is "Could not connect to the IMAP server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the Account preferences. Also verify that the server supports SSL. If it does not, uncheck the "Use SSL" checkbox in the Avanced tab of Account preferences"
However, I'm sure it's not a problem with the settings because 1) these settings have been fine for weeks, and 2) if i inactivate any of the accounts the others (that are showing errors) no longer show errors).
If I have fewer accounts connecting, or if I switch of SSL, then the errors go away.
I would prefer to connect using SSL, which is why I'm not simply switching off SSL and forgetting about it.

Lost Mail Boxes and Smart Boxes

Hi can anyone give me some advice please as I have had to reinstall and have lost all of my smart boxes and some mail boxes which had valuable information.
Thank you in advance for any advice you can give.

No, you are not doing anything wrong. The original e-mail stays in your inbox until deleted, which will also delete it from the Smart Folder. The Smart Mailbox is a 'sorting' tool,but it doesn't actual contain the e-mails.

How do I get rid of duplicate "in" and "sent" mail boxes?

I have installed a new version of Thunderbird on a new machine and used Easy Transfer to move my mail boxes etc from my old machine. The problem is that I now have duplicate "in" and "sent" mail boxes. New in and sent mail only appears in one of them but I can't delete the other. I have deleted all messages in the extra "in" box (they were all duplicates) but have not been able to do the same with the messages in the duplicate "sent" box because the "deleted" folder where they would go is not big enough to take the 16000 messages in there (when I "select all" and "delete" it just says "deleted folder is full" when in fact there's nothing in it; I am assuming this just means it would not take all the messages to be deleted). Help please!

Hi,
According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.
