Deleted email is being sent back to me

This is so strange.
I have ATT Yahoo mail that I have sent to my mac and read with mac mail.
This morning I thought I'd clear out some old email so I started deleting things by sender and then I noticed they were returning to my in box. Things that I moved into family and student boxes seemed to also come back to my inbox.
Another weird thing is that when I select a group of unopened emails and delete them,in the trash they no longer have the blue (unopened) dot .
I haven't really been paying attention to the number on the icon in the dock that tells you how many unopened mails you have but right now it's at nearly 5000 and I know I never let it get that high.

Thank You David for your time and detailed instructions.
I think it's stopped the reimporting so I don't know if I should go ahead and delete the Envelope Index.
I've been deleting a lot of the emails that were reimported but my problem now is many (not all) emails are now duplicated.
Do you know if there is a way to delete duplicates?
I found this in mail help;
Solution<<<<</div>
1. In Mail, choose Mail > Preferences.
2. Click Rules.
3. Edit each rule other than the rules "News From Apple" and "Junk." Look in each rule for action under "Perform the following actions" that includes "Transfer Message, to mailbox: In" (or a custom mailbox within In).
If you find this action, change that part of the rule so that the message is directed to a different mailbox--one that is not the In mailbox or within the In mailbox. >>THIS MAKES NO SENSE TO ME<<
Note: If the rules "News From Apple" or "Junk" were previously customized, you should check them for these actions as well.
If the issue persists, you try these steps:
1. Quit Mail.
1. Click the Finder icon in the Dock.
2. Choose File > Find
3. Type: MessageSorting.plist
4. Click Search. The Search Results window appears.
5. Click the file named "MessageSorting.plist". The filename should be selected, allowing you to change it.
6. Type: MessageSorting.plist.old
7. Press Return.
8. Close the Search Results window.
9. Open Mail.
10. Delete the unwanted duplicate messages.>>>>This is not encouraging<<

  • My deleted messages are being sent back to my inbox. I do not have virus software.

    Every day after I have deleted certain emails they are sent back to my inbox. I do not have virus software so that is not the problem.
    Tried to fix this but cannot find any solution.

    How often do you compact your folders? You should do that at least once a week (though, I do that every day).

  • Why does my macbook show  emails as being sent twice

    why does my MacBook Pro  show  emails as being sent twice

    You don't need to delete them form iTunes on your computer. Notice the dotted circles next to the songs. That indicates that the songs are essentially in limbo. They may not be on your iPad or they might appear in the Music app but will not play.
    Sometimes unsyncing those songs will totally remove those ghost traces of the music nd sometimes, you have to restore the iPad to get rid of those traces of the songs.
    If you Google "grey dotted circles next to songs in iTunes" you will find a plethora of articles that talk about this.

  • How to stop an email from being sent after I hit send?

    How can I immediately stop an email from being sent after clicking "send"?
    I can't seem to find any info on this. I am assuming that it is impossible. Correct?

    When sending the emails with larger attachments that take a little time to actually upload and get out, you can open the activity viewer by pressing command-0 (or is it command-o?--)--it may also be under the window menu at the top--I'm not at my Mac right now to check. The activity viewer has a stop button on it. After you stop it, you should be able to either delete the email from the outgoing mail folder or drag that email to another folder, such as the drafts folder. I've done this a few times without a problem.

  • Can I stop email from being sent?

    I have a number of email accounts configured in outlook 2010.
    I want to prevent email from being sent via one of the accounts.
    CAN I do this?
    If so How?
    I have tried to change the SMTP address to be invalid.
    It does not send, and does not give me an error.
    When I close outlook it tells me emails have not been sent. I have no idea where these emails r.
    When I restart it, it resets the smtp address and sends the email.

    thx for the reply
    The problem I am trying to work around is ppl using outlook try to send/reply/fwd emails using those old addresses. Outlook must be configured to rcv mail from clients using those addresses. So if the old email address is set as FROM I want to stop it from
    being sent.
    if i set the smtp address to an invalid the test never completes and I can never get to the end of that wizard.
    If I go back and look at it it is still the invalid address after I cancel the wizard.
    If i try to send mail it appears to do it after a long pause and i can't find the email anyplace -but it is not sent.
    If i shut down and restart outlook it is back to the valid address and the mail gets sent.
    I have it set only rcv, not send, that address in the group but that doesn't work.

    SOLUTION FOR UNREAD COMCAST MAIL...so far, so good
    I went to Comcast.net and created a folder titled "Archive 10-2-13" and then went back into my inbox on the site and clicked the 'select all' box at the top of the email page. I could only see what would fit on my screen, but figured out that if I scrolled ALL the way to the very end (which was a l-o-n-g time for 30,000 emails) and then clicked "move to' at the top of the page and chose "Archive 10-2-13"..all my mail went there and no longer comes up as unread on my iPhone.
    I don't know if this will work for other POP accounts (Hotmail, etc.) but HALLELUJAH! I have ZERO unread email messages showing!

  • How do I prevent my emails from being sent without my hitting the send key. Many of my emails are just "taking off" and sending while I am in the middle of typing. If this is a keyboard shortcut, I must disable it, so how do I do that

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

  • Hotmail emails not being sent

    I went through my junk email folder (msn.com) last week and mistakenly clicked on a link which looked like it was sent from best buy.  I noticed after it was too late that it was not from best buy.  This scared me so I cleaned out some of my contacts- now I am noticing that emails I am sending out are not being sent. 
    My questions: 
    1) can someone hack into my msn email account even though I use an ipad/safari?
    2) when I cleaned out my contacts, did this prevent my emails from being sent?
    3) is it possible for a hacker to divert my sent emails?
    Thank you!

    I can't understand why emails sent by recipients with Yahoo, Gmail, or Hotmail (etc) accounts are not being received by my iPhone. Everything else comes seems to come through... Just to confirm, these are not accounts that I've created but rather email servers for family, friends, and clients that need to copy to my iPhone.
    Any suggestions where I can adjust settings to allow these emails to come through? Muchly appreciated.
    Who is your email provider? Is it one of the free services or a work account?
    Do the emails show up in your inbox when you check from a computer?
    Do you have any filtering rules set up on your email account that would automatically direct the emails to a folder other than your inbox?

  • TS4002 emails are being sent out without my knowledge

    emails are being sent out without my knowledge, do I have a virus?

    Are you getting bounced spam messages? This simply means that someone is forging your address as the 'From' address, which is very easy to do. It's very annoying but it doesn't mean you've been hacked; unfortunately you can't really do anything about it but it usually stops after a bit as they move on to some other victim. As long as you don't have messages you didn't send in your 'sent' folder this is the most likely explanation, though changing your password might be a good idea on general principles (and make it a stong one).

  • Inbound MDN's are being sent back to Internal delivery channel

    AS2 over HTTPS (sync MDN's) are being sent back to inbound IDC rather than b2b consuming them , can any one point the root cause
    Thanks,
    Kalyan

    Hi Kalyan,
    Make sure that you are enabling "Is Acknowledgment Handled By Integration B2B?" in HOST trading partner.
    Oracle B2B never defaults an IDC from any other business action. Moreover agreement configuration elements are independent of business protocol being used.
    Each and every agreement will have a field "Responding Internal Delivery Channel " but this field appears if you selected "Yes" from the "Is Acknowledgment Handled By Integration B2B?" list when creating a remote trading partner on the Operational Capabilities page.
    This field of agreement is used to select the internal delivery channel to use for responding to (acknowledging) messages.
    Cross-check your business action configuration and corresponding agreement configuration again.
    Please let me know the result.
    Regards,
    Anuj

  • Is it possible to email quiz results without the notification that an email is being sent?

    I have created a captivate for use as a tutorial.  There are quiz slides spread throughout the captivate.  we are going to receive the results via email.  is it possible to set it so once they hit the button to send email that it automatically sends without the notification that an email is being sent?  currently the warning message pops up giving the option to allow or deny the content from being sent.  is there something in the settings that can be changed to just send it...possilbly like the HTML version?  any info would be helpful,.

  • SOST error 802 - emails not being sent as recipient unknown

    Hello Experts,
    Similar issue has been posted earlier but suggested solutions are not solving my problem.
    When user sends mail (having .xls attachment) to XXX@YYY .com (an external email id), the email is being sent.
    When the user tries sending a similar mail again, the mail ends with error 802 (recipient unknown error) for SAME recipient.
    The mails are being sent sometimes but sometimes they end with above error.
    When I try re-sending failed email, it sends out successfully.
    Can you please throw some light on this as to why emails are failing only sometimes?
    Thanks.

    Hi Anisha,
    I'm facing the same issue. Please help on this and kindly suggest necessary steps to be taken.
