Deleted Emails Come back into Inbox

I have a iPhone 3GS with POP3 email account. When i delete emails from the iPhone inbox, occassionally I'll receive the same emails as "new" emails into my inbox again...after they've been deleted. Sometimes i delete by sliding the message to show the delete button, sometimes i use the edit to delete multiple emails and sometimes i delete from within the message. i have the settings set to delete from server when deleted from inbox. any thoughts?

I have the same problem on MacBook Pro using os 10.5.8 with Mail 3.6.
I discovered that if I look at emails that have been sent to trash select them and press delete they all come back. When I do the proper erase deleted messages then they don't.
This might be useful on your iphone.
I now have emails coming back to me weeks, or months after I have deleted them, particularly ones with photos attached that I have sent through Kodak EasyShare, and copied to myself!! does anyone know what I can do about this? apart from being a waste of time, I might receive 100 photos in one day which slows everything down and effects my data usage.

  • Mail app glitch? - deleted emails come back!?

    Hi all,
    I upgraded to Mavericks today, and it hasnt been smooth at all for me - no wonder it's FREE. One major problem that I'm having is with the Mail application.
    I have the application connceted to my gmail account. - When I delete emails from my inbox (on my mail application), those deleted mails reppear in my inbox! No matter how many times i try deleting them, they always come back. But, when i go on gmail.com and delete it from there, then it deletes from the mail application inbox as well.
    I hope i made some sense in explaining the problem.
    Solutions? ideas?
    Thanks!

    Some people are having problems with Gmail. I haven't had a problem with it at all. Gmail isn't IMAP, which Mail expects it to be, since that is what Gmail says it is, but it's not. It is Gmail.
    Gmail doesn't have folders or mailboxes. It tags messages with "labels." When a new message comes in, it is tagged with "inbox" and "All Mail." When you remove it from the Inbox, it gets tagged with the new mailbox it was moved into, and the "inbox" tag is removed. That process isn't quite working for some.
    It is likely that something on one end is not doing what it used to do. If Google would just implement a normal IMAP server, there wouldn't be all off this tagging and untagging bs to deal with. My guess is the problem is on Google's end of this as it's server is announcing to the world that it is IMAP and it needs to translate the IMAP requests that it gets from the email clients.

  • MY deleted emails come back too! Please help

    OK.. This is driving me nuts now. Not happened for a while but today - I have tried to delete the same 27 emails NINE times now and they KEEP FRIGGIN COMING BACK!!!! Grrr
    Always been a huge huge fan of apple - til I got the iPhone! Only had it 3 months and would switch back to my blackberry in a heartbeat!
    WHat to do ?
    I delete some - or all - or one - then the others - and they keep coming back. Restarted... not restarted... Driving me mad.
    I get up to 100 emails each day - so to KEEP ON having them come back is driving me a bit nuts!

    This happens to me constantly and I can't believe none of the Apple experts, either with Apple or not, have addressed this problem. I have spent so much wasted time just trying to clear out messages from the In Box. In one account it shows 46 messages even when the In Box is blank. I even tried deleting the account and bringing it back, but it did not help. Also, like the rest of you, I get constant shutdowns when deleting, then when I go back, there are those deleted messages again. This is driving me crazy! Help!!

  • Deleted emails come back!

    I use Comcast as my email provider. Within the phone settings I have it set to "delete from server when removed from inbox". Not only does it NOT delete emails (i.e. spam) from the server, but sometimes when I go to check for new mail on the phone, it re-downloads those emails I previously deleted. Has this happened to anyone else?
    Thanks!
    Eddie

    I have searched for this EXACT problem everywhere. Hubby and I
    have Comcast as well we use different computers diff itunes accounts
    but have, obviously, same "comcast" account, diff email address

    iPhone does this, mine does not!!! Please help! I called comcast

  • HT2954 Need help on deleting emails from my email account i'm able to select all and remove them but when i recheck  all deleted emails come back now have 3000 plus

    how do i remove emails completly from my account

    In mail, highlight the mailbox you deleted the messages from, then on the menu bar click mailbox then rebuild. That will usually get rid of deleted messages that won't delete.

  • After i have installed the new iOS, my deleted emails reappear in my inbox! help!

    After i have installed OS X Yosemite, my deleted emails just reappear in my inbox. I am using Gmail. I have tried changing the settings etc.
    After I deleted the emails, it will disappear from my inbox for a while, then reappear. Even when i tried going to trash and delete immediately, it doesn't work. In fact, it became worse because all my previous deleted emails all returned into inbox! Please help!

    Bonjour Pierre,

    What type of account did you set-up on the iPad, POP, IMAP, the items on your iPad could have downloaded off the server or you will need wait awhile for the message to update to the iPad. 

  • My emails come back after deleting

    I am using my Gmail account for all my emails, I also have an iphone.  It does not seem to matter where I delete some of my emails come back as if they had not been deleted.  Please Help!!

    Hmmm, in Mail Preferences, for that account, what settings do you have under Mailbox Behaviors?

  • Old emails come back marked as "new"

    I have had 2 comcast email accounts on my phone for years, all of a sudden one of them started reloading old emails that had already been read and marking them as new. I deleted the account like 3 times and re-added but every time, the old emails come back. I'm at a loss as to why this is happening on one comcast account but not the other.
    I read one one of the past discussions that you can change a setting for archives or something but I can't find that option on my phone or in my email account.
    Any help would really be appreciated - thanks!

    After some initial issues (which I believe were really part of the "learning curve" for a new device), I'm really loving my LG Ally.  However, I have one issue that I just can't seem to figure out how to fix:  My home email, which is a POP3 email, keeps sending me "new" emails, that are actually old emails that I have deleted from both my phone and my home email.  In some cases, it is even email that I have completely dumped from my "deleted items" on my home email.  Why does it do that?  I have the settings on my home email account set to NOT save email on the server, so why doesn't it seem to be working?  I don't have any problems with my work email which is on an exchange server.  Any ideas? 
    Hi.  I am sorry you are having issues with your email and I can certainly look into it for you.   When did this start happening?  Dif you download any applications before this started happening?  Try to delete that particular email account and set it up again to see if that works.
    Waiting on your reply!
    Thanks!

  • Deleted emails greyed out in Inbox

    Hi,
    I have absolutely no idea how it happened but i have suddenly got upwards of 1000 deleted emails showing in my Inbox, greyed-out. I cant move them or do anything else with them, much less remove them.
    I tried Cmd-Z when it happened, nothing happened, then I listed them by sender (Facebook) and tried to move them to Trash  with no luck either.
    Anyone got a suggestion?
    Helen.

    One more thing to try, but make sure you have your Mail folder backed up. You already did, so no need to do it again. But also make a backup copy of the Mail Downloads folder as well. It's nearby.
    Navigate to your Home Folder Library, this time to Preferences, and move the file com.apple.mail.plist to the Trash. Important, don't empty the Trash. If this doesn't work you can use File>Put Back to restore everything the way it was.
    Doing this will bring you to the initial Mail setup and you will have to redo all your accounts, rules, mailboxes, whatever. Before doing this, it's probably a good idea to make screenshots of everything you will need again (Cmd-Shift-4) It's a PITA, but it may fix the problem. All your mail messages should be intact, but if there's a problem along the way, you just use Put Back for that .plist file. And, you have the Mail and Mail Downloads folders backed up, which you would move/drag back to their original locations.

  • In email (gmail) when I delete a message in my Inbox the next time I open mail all of the items I deleted come back into my Inbox. How do I delete them permanently?

    In email (gmail) when I delete a message in one of my email accounts inbox and then close email, the next time I open email for that account all of the deleted messages reappear in my inbox. My email settings are to move all deleted messages to Trash upon closing email but but that doesn't work in one of my email accounts. It works fine in another gmail account I have. How do I get rid of the emails I wish to delet permanantly?

    I am wondering if anyone is seeing my question? This is my first time and I am not sure if I am communicating correctly. If you are seeing the question above regading deleted messages reappearing please reply so I will at least know I am getting the message out.
    Thank you.

  • Mail app regurgitates deleted email back into Inbox

    Earlier today Mail's dock icon indicated 3 new msges. Having Mail in Full screen mode I swipe to it and to my surprise old msges. from 2009!! were brought out of nowhere back into the Inbox. Having 4 accounts (2 POP, 2 IMAP (both Gmail)), the Inbox now had a total of 130 msges.
    How is this possible for old emails which were trashed and deleted (permanent deletion set when Quitting Mail) long ago are revived? Where would this old email be stored?

    I am having this issue as well. Here are the steps I have taken and it is still going on:
    Deleted my ME account from all of my devices
    Deleted undesired emails from icloud
    Emptied iCloud junk and trash folders
    Checked all my iCloud email settings to make sure trash gets emptied etc.
    About 5-15 minutes later there are about 11 emails that keep coming back. This is getting old and if not fixed in a few days will be closing all of my iCloud accounts for good.
