Can't get rid of spam email, it keeps multiplying!

hello, a junk email in my inbox is unable to be deleted. i cannot open the email (spinning progress bar) and then when i quit out of mail and open mail again, it keeps downloading copies of the same email off of my server (att-yahoo) now there are many of the same email in my inbox and it's preventing me from downloading other mail from the server. i've tried cut, delete, move message to trash, but still no luck. someone please help!
thanks,
dave

Hi silverman65,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you added here account to the Mail application on your Mac and would like to now delete it just from there, you may find the following article helpful (it is aimed at Yosemite, but the steps should apply to Mountain Lion as well):
Remove an account
When you remove an email account from Mail, the account’s messages are deleted and no longer available on your Mac. Copies of messages remain on the account’s mail server and are still available (from webmail, for example). 
Important:    If you’re unsure whether messages you want to keep are still on the mail server, move or copy them into a mailbox stored on your Mac (the mailbox appears in the On my Mac section in the Mail sidebar) before you delete the account in Mail. 
Choose Mail > Preferences, then click Accounts.
Select an account, then click Remove .

    Widevine Media Optimizer Update Available? Don’t know what it is but don’t want it.

    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
    You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

  • Can't get rid of a TX - message keeps appearing and being processed by OSB

    I have some sort of a poison message or TX I can't flush. Every 10 seconds I get a log message like the second one below, and the number of pending messages in multiple places and OSB proxy service messages processed keep climbing - all without producing any new messages on my part. I've tried deleting the default server store on the OSB managed server and the filestore for the JMS server. No luck.
    When this first started happening, the error messages looked like the first one below. Something I did caused the change, I assume. However, it's the same TX ID throughout.
    So, first, how can I get rid of this thing? It's driving me nuts and keeping me from closing out a POC.
    Second, why is it happening? I have one suspicion - could it be because that somehow we configured mutiple domains with the same name for a distributed application? It's not my normal practice but it happened. These domains don't communicate directly, but there are domains that need to communicate with both. So I'm guessing the name ambiguity may be hurting us. Just a guess, though.
    In this case, the sgosb domain's proxy service (this domain name is unique) is receiving messages from a queue resident in the pega_domain in Singapore and another proxy service is putting a message to another queue in the pega_domain in the UK. This is not in a single TX; the first proxy service forwards the message to a queue in the sgosb_domain, the second proxy service gets that message and puts it into the other pega_domain. It's an XA TX for each proxy service.
    Just to make it more fun, the sgosb_domain has another proxy service reading from a different queue and forwarding it to a queue in the third pega_domain in the US.
    TIA for any help or insight.
    Oh yes, the OSB domain is WLS 10.3.4, while the pega_domains are WLS 10.3.2

    Tom,
    Thanks! Succinct and easy to understand as ever.
    Yup, that covers it - I had also just seen this in the docs after looking at atheek1's earlier response (thanks to him/her as well). It's covered almost as clearly there as you state it here (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11035_01/wls100/jta/trxcon.html).
    While the ESB domains meet all of those requirements (except for cross-domain security configuration), each of the other two sets of domains (3 in each set) do not meet the naming uniqueness criteria for domain and server names; they do for JMS server names. I saw the store names in the TX identifier string as included resource, and assumed they might play a part - that's why I changed them. As you say, an unnecessary change. Oh well - it was an easy one.
    My normal practice has been for unique names in the past, due to problems I had years ago with cross-domain JMS traffic in an earlier WLS version. I guess it's the wrong time to have forgotten that lesson.
    Does anyone know of a quick way of changing a domain name quickly without rebuilding the domain? In the past WLST resulted in incomplete copies for me, is that still a problem? Server names are easy, just some global search-and-replace in the config.xml file (and in the management scripts, too)

    The email was recieved from Fidelity (whom I get 1000's of email from.  The eamil account is an msn account that has wooked flawlessly for years.  The email deleted from my msn account on other computers, it is only on my Mac using my the supplied email viewer.  The message is :  Can not move this email to trash.  Input output error.

  • Can I get rid of all email at once?

    Overview of inboxes shows 400+ unread emails. When I open mailbox it shows "No mail". How do I get rid of these ghosts?

    You cannot bulk delete from the Mailboxes screen.  You have to tap Edit, then check each email you want to delete, and when all are checked, then tap Delete.
    Go to the Mailboxes, and select the Account, then Trash.
    Tap Edit, then at the bottom, Delete All and then confirm Delete All.
    That is the closest you get to bulk deleting.

  • Can't get rid of old email address

    Since purchasing my iPad, I changed internet carriers and changed my email address. If I go to iTunes & App Store in Settings on my iPad, it still says my Apple ID is the now invalid email address. Can't get pass that point. Wants me to put in a Password for that ID that no longer exists.
    Created a new Apple account to no avail.

    The last thing that you want to do is to create a new Apple ID since purchases are always tied to the Apple ID that was used to make the purchases. You want to change the old Apple ID email address to the new one.
    Did you follow these instructions to change your Apple ID?
    Change your Apple ID - Apple Support
    If you followed those instructions and all went as it should, you can sign out of your old ID in settings>iTunes and App Store>Apple ID. Then sign in with the new ID. You should also take a look at this.

  • I can't get my contacts from email, I keep getting Personas Plus popup. What do I do?

    Shortly after I last updated firefox, I noticed several things that were different. One, my tabs are now above the URL line. I want them under all the rows on top. I also get alerts that I can't see because when I run over it with the mouse it come down and as soon as I try to click on it it recedes. Lastly, the thing that bothers me most is when I go to forward an email, I get the contact list for a split second and then an add for Personas Plus pops up; sometimes with one or two other adds of things I checked out recently. And I can't reach my contacts. I tried to install Personan Plus but I don't think I did. and now it pops up that I need to register every time I am trying to get a different thing to pop up. Worse, the URL says that I'm where I should be; in contacts or whatever, but that's not whats on the screen. And when I close out the window, it tells me I have several tabs open. I can't work with it this way. I tried to delete cookies and history and everything else I could think of to get rid of it. It won't go away. My work depends on my laptop working as it should. Diane

    Same exact thing and I'm glad its not just me (but sorry for all who are experiencing it).  Maybe their mail system is down.  It'd be great if they would give us some sort of heads up.

  • Can't get rid of duplicate email accounts itunes imports from outlook

    Hey everybody,
    iTunes imports my email account information from Outlook and for some reason it finds duplicate email accounts. I only have one .pst file which only has one of each email account attached to it but iTunes finds duplicates.
    So in iTunes, when I tick one of a duplicate account and click apply the other duplicate will tick itself.
    I have no idea what is going on and I'm tempted to reinstall outlook, itunes, delete my pst file, restore my iPhone and just start all over again!
    But I really don't want to do that.

    Have the same problem. Sometimes end up with in excess of 10 duplicated calendars (they show as "all mobileme calendars" but do not have the individual calendars listed) on my iphone although the correct calendars only appear once on both mobileme and Mac. Have never had sync turned on in itunes.
    A tiresome workaround to delete these from the phone is to go into settings/mail,contacts,calendar/your mobileme account and turn calendars off. Say yes to delete calendar on iphone. When this is finished turn calendars back on, then exit and open the calendar. One duplicate should have been removed. Repeat ad infinitum.
    Problem is the duplicates keep coming back (even without connecting to the Mac). Anyone with ideas for a permanent solution?

  • How can I get rid of that popup that keeps asking me if I'm sure I want to navigate away from the page I'm on?

    I think my question is very clear. If I didn't want to go somewhere else, I would not have clicked on anything. I hate having to answer that question every single time I want to go to a different page.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
