Can't get rid of users mail account

Server OS 10.3.3
I have a user whos mail account became corrupt. As there wasn't really that much there to worry about, I deleted his user account. I made sure that his folder under /var/spool/imap/usrs/ was gone as well as deleting his actual user folder off of the volume. I then shut down, and restarted the server.
I then recreated his user using the same short name and password he had before. The result is the exact same problem showing up. All of my other users work fine, and I tried creating a new user with a different short name and that works fine also.
Where am I missing something to delete that will let me recreate the user as he was before?
Thank you
Chris

Can't get rid of outgoing mail

This message actually was sent, so why it is still "loading" is
beyond me. I've tried rebuilding the mailbox, I've control clicked on
the message to delete it and I still can't get rid of it. Any thoughts would
be greatly appreciated.

This is not email. This is Apple Support Communities and you do not have authority to delete your post. For a limited amount of time you can edit it though.

How to get rid of a mail account?

I had two .mac accounts and wanted to get rid of one and just use the other one. So I deleted everything in my Mail/Preferences so the only e-mail address is the one that I currentely would like to use.
Now, when I look in:
User/Library/Mail
Folder I find that the deleted account still has a folder. Better yet my iphone is still trying to sync with my current .mac and the old one. I even deleted all the contents of that mail folder and every time I restart Mail the unwanted account recreates its folder.
How do I get rid of this account permanately?
Thanks.

Under:
System Preferences/.Mac
My account (the one that I want to keep) is the only one listed, there is no info whatsoever about the account I attempted to delete (which I assume should be a good thing). There is no remenence of the one that I deleted other than in that one Mail folder.

I can't get rid of Inactive Internet Accounts

Under System Preferences -> Internet Accounts I have two Inactive accounts that will not go away. I can highlight them and click the ( - ) button at the bottom, and they will go away for about 10 seconds, but then they reappear.
A screen shot is here: http://imgur.com/MaToSzr
Some additional details:
Through the Internet Accounts panel, I can log in to one of them at a time, and that's actually what I would like in the long run, but there's always at least one inactive ghost sitting there.
If I change my Apple ID to use the inactive one, then I can log into that one, but now the other one becomes the ghost.
Even if I make one them an alternate Apple ID, I can't log into it through the Internet Accounts panel; it says I'm using the wrong password.
My thinking is that if I could find where these reside on the hard drive, I could wipe them and start over fresh. Anyone have any ideas on what's causing this and how I can fix it?
Thanks in advance.

After screwing around with it for a while, I finally set the outlook.com e-mail address as the primary e-mail address for the problem Apple ID and went ahead and signed in to that. For whatever reason, the yahoo.com e-mail address didn't re-appear as a ghost so I was as content as I could be considering my need for order. I let it run like that for a day, syncing everything, getting comfortable, and then I went to my Contacts app and found there was an iCloud group that I could not remove. When I went to menu -> Contacts / Preferences and selectedAccounts, there were probably a hundred Inactive accounts associated with the problem Apple ID.
So now I went back into System Preferences / Internet Accounts and tried to uncheck the Contacts sync for the problem Apple ID, but it just kept re-checking itself. So I re-removed the problem Apple ID again. It wasn't reappearing after 10 seconds like it usually did, but I figured that was just a matter of time. Now that I knew there were a 100 ghost address books, I set out to remove them all.
I navigated to /Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Sources where I found all of the ghost address books. Each one has it's one folder and in each unique folder is aConfiguration.plist file that has the associated e-mail account in the text somewhere. I went through each Configuration.plist file and for every one that had the problem Apple ID associated with it, I deleted it's parent folder. I closed and re-started theContacts app and all of the 100 ghost accounts were gone. Also, during the 30+ minutes it took me to delete all those, the ghost account never re-appeared in System Preferences / Internet Accounts.
My theory is that those 100 or so inactive Address books kept re-populating the Internet Accounts in System Preferences.

Can't get rid of MASSIVE mail notification number!

Hi all,
So recently - maybe this is an iOS 6 thing - everytime I search for an older email through Mail, it continues to look on the server (naturally), and when it finds mail that is relevant, it ups my mail notification number. Even when I get out of the search, the unread mail messages - well their notifications anyway - remain on my phone. There are pictures below to help explain:
So as you can see - even though my inbox says I have 83 messages, I actually only have 3. Any ideas how to get rid of that number?
Best,
Chris

I can't see your first photo above, but I can see the second.
You hypothesize that you show three messages there. I see at least nine, because there are at least four from Daryl, at least four from Kimberly, and at least one from Chris.
So to start, I suggest clicking on those right arrows to see what lies below the surface you've shown here.
Another thing to try is to reset your iPhone. Hold the home and on/off buttons together for 7 or 8 seconds till the Apple logo appears. See if that helps.

How can I get rid of my icloud account

appointments in my calendar only show up when I am connected with my Icloud account, If I am logged out I am not able to add new appointments in my calender.
A lot of stupid questions when I am logging off
As far as I am concerned ICloud is a a pain in the *** and I want to get rid of it asap.

Your computer will automatically connect and disconnect from iCloud as it needs to, while it remains logged in to the account.
You should not log-out of iCloud in System Preferences on your Mac when shutting your computer down, or at any other time, as this will prompt you to remove the iCloud data from your computer (which you don't want).
Just leave iCloud signed in in System Preferences and forget about it.
If you need to change any of your preferences you'd need to be logged in anyway.
The only reasons to ever log out of iCloud are for troubleshooting purposes, or if you ever decide you never want to use iCloud again.

I have just d/loaded FF4 and now I can't get into my e mail account.

I am with Sky broadband and since d/loading Fire fox 4 I have not been able to get into my e mail. When I go to log in, it tells me that i have entered the wrong details. This is a real pain as I am in business and I need my e mail.

All email accounts have a password. If you do not know yours I suggest you contact your mail provider and ask them for assistance.

Can't get rid of unread mail icon--shows 2 unread messages but can't find any

I've got a smart mailbox that shows unread messages so I can easily see what new and unread mail I have. The problem is it gives me the notification icon that indicates I have two unread messages, yet the mailbox does not show any messages as unread... This isn't a huge problem, but the Mail icon in my dock always shows that I have new mail, and the notification icon is small enough that I can't always clearly see if it's the "usual 2" or a higher number. What could be causing this and how do I either find the unread messages or get this icon reduced to where it only shows me REAL unread messages?

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
Envelope Index
ExternalUpdates.storedata
Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

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?
