Can't stop forward emails

I was trying to do some transfers between Apple Mail and Entourage in order to isolate a particular project. I tried to copy all mails meeting a certain criteria to another mailbox. I believe I set it as a rule to "copy". Now I can't stop it. Several times a day my Apple Mail inbox will receive several hundred (probably the correct amount I was trying to manipulate) emails. I don't know what is commanding them to be there. There are no rules I can find that instruct mail to "copy". Any thoughts on how to stop the madness??

You could Trash the Mail program and reinstall it, but I doubt that would solve your problem, since it's with emails you "copied" from another system. It would probably be easier if you simply found those specific emails you copied over and delete them, assuming you know exactly which ones they are.
If you want to transfer mail from one Mac to another that use the same file format for Mail, you need to export them in mbox format, then use Mail to import them (the Other) selection when the Import Mail window is presented to you), selecting just the mbox folder. Those emails will then show up as Imported and you can then transfer them to a different mailbox (Inbox, Sent, etc.) on your Mac.

  • How can I stop forwarded emails displaying all that header rubbish, please ?

    When I forward an email, there's a huge header that I can't remove.
    It annoys most of my recipients, many don't see what I've written and don't reply, some think I've got a virus and delete the email.
    I'm talking about all the lines as below:
    X-Account-Key:
    X-UIDL:
    X-Mozilla-Status:
    X-Mozilla-Status2:
    X-Mozilla-Keys:
    Delivered-To:
    Received:
    X-Received:
    Return-Path:
    Received:
    Received-SPF:
    Authentication-Results:
    DKIM-Signature:
    X-Thread-Info:
    Received:
    Received:
    Content-Type:
    MIME-Version:
    Message-ID:
    I'd also like Thunderbird to stop displaying these fields on emails I receive.

    I still have the problem of all the header rubbish appearing on emails that I forward to people, even though only the 'normal headers' box is checked. Can anyone help? Thanks

    Your iCoud account remains in iCloud even if your device is restored.  (In fact, you can't delete an iCloud account from iCloud, you can only choose to stop using it.)  If the device is restored, or it may no longer be signed into your iCloud account but your account will still exist in iCloud.

  • Can I stop the emails

    I keep getting "Welcome to the new OTN Community!" updates in my email. I would like to stop receiving those messages.
    When I open the communications tab, I see the "Welcome to the new OTN Community" thread in the list field. When I click it and select "Stop tracking" nothing happens. I'm still getting emails about updates of this thread. How can I disable it? I also tried the red "Stop Tracking" action object in the thread browsing view. How do I stop these emails please? Actually I don't remember what enabled them in the first place.

    I wanted to add, that the page when opening the thread shows a "Receive email notification" option in the Actions list. After selecting it it shows "You will now receive email notifications about this item. So is this an error or what is triggering those emails? Is it because I have a reply in that thread?

  • Can't stop the email spam

    Anyone know how to stop junk email from coming into Apple mail?  On my Windows computer, spam doesn't come through on Outlook. Verizon email settings show spam detector is on and emails are deleted. But that doesn't solve the problem on my iPad and iPhone, I can't stop the constant stream of spam email. Any ideas?

    The Yahoo mail app remembers spam when it comes up again if you mark it with the Yahoo Mail app.
    If you use Gmail or Yahoo mail app, they each have an icon to label emails as spam.   Yahoo uses a shield icon.
    if you use the stock app, tap the file folder and send to junk.   In settings app, under mail, make sure it is set to "send spam to JUNK"

  • Can't stop an email sending - Help?

    I recently sent a large email accidentally and now it will not stop sending.  I have tried moving it to drafts and deleting it but that has not worked.  It appears now to have a huge number of duplicates as well.  Without an outbox I can not see how to delete it so that I can start to receive email normally again.  Has anyone got the answer to how to stop it sending?
