Deleted emails in Apple Mail IMAP account reappear after deleted

I delete the emails in my Apple Mail for an IMAP Gmail account, but the email keep reappearing as undeleted.

Thank you so much!!!
Just switched to IMAP from POP and this was really bugging me. 
Force closing Mail worked for me too.

  • HT1277 when i delete emails from apple mail why does it not delete them from the account??

    Why doesn't it delete them from both??

    Keeping mail in sync is a function of what type of mail account you have. Sounds like you have an IMAP or Exchange account, & that's the way things are designed to work. Why don't you just create another folder on the server & move these emails to that folder. That way, they'll be out of your inbox, but still available on your laptop.

  • Two Apple Mail imap accounts, but can never include 2nd account in REPLY ALL

    Hi. I have two Apple Mail imap accounts. One for me and one for my boss. The problem is, if I receive an email in which my boss is cc'd and I then click on REPLY ALL, Mail never includes my boss's email address and I have to manually type it in. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thank you.

    Open Mail>Preferences>Accounts, scan down to the entry 'Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)', click on the dropdown and select Edit SMTP Server List and verify that each account has the correct SMTP server set.
    Then close it
    Once you have verified that the servers are set correctly check the box that says 'Use only this server' for each of the accounts.

  • How do I easily select a group of emails in Apple Mail if I want to delete them? In other words, how do I select the first and last message and delete everything in between?

    How do I easily select a group of emails in Apple Mail if I want to delete them? In other words, what do I select if I mark the first and last email to delete everything in between? Thanks.

    I have this same issue. I have over 100 email addresses that I need to add to a group. The issue is not making the group, it's getting the email addresses from Mail to Contacts.
    Dragging the email addresses does nothing. You can copy the addresses, but there's nowhere to put them. You can make a VCF for an email address, but then you have to find all of them to add them to the group. How do you automate this?!
    I'm astounded that there's so little support for such a common issue for which people have been asking for years.

  • POP Account reappears after deletion

    After I delete a POP account, it reappears shortly afterwards.
    I thought this might be a syncing issue so I reset my sync from my computer to .Mac; no joy. I thought that rebuilding the Envelope Index file might do the trick; no joy (although it is much smaller now). I thought that deleting the com.apple.mail.plist file might work; no joy... the POP account just reappears.
    Can someone point me in the right direction please?
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Do you have a plug-in or some kind of ISP “assistant” that would set up that account automatically for you, just like Mail itself does in the case of .Mac accounts?
    Try the following procedure to re-create com.apple.mail.plist:
    1. If you have a .Mac account and .Mac synchronization of Mail data is enabled either in Mail > Preferences > General or in System Preferences > .Mac, disable it before proceeding.
    2. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    3. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong while trying to solve the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is locally stored.
    4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Locate com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted if this fixes the problem).
    5. Open Mail. You’ll have to set up your non-.Mac accounts from scratch all over again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in ~/Library/Mail/ when done.
    6. You’ll have to re-configure most of your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
    7. You may also need to re-install or re-enable any Mail plug-ins you have installed for Mail to recognize them.
    8. As a side effect of re-creating com.apple.mail.plist, Mail might rename Outbox (which is where messages waiting to be sent are stored) to Delivered. The name of that mailbox is actually a misnomer, as it would contain messages (if any) that couldn’t be delivered for some reason. You can delete that mailbox if you wish.
    9. If the problem is fixed now and .Mac synchronization of Mail data was enabled at the beginning, enable it again, go to System Preferences > .Mac > Advanced, click Reset Sync Data, and choose the appropriate options to reset the Mail data stored on the .Mac server with the data locally stored on the computer, i.e. sync data must flow from the computer to the .Mac server.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

  • Delete email, close Apple Mail, reopen, email reappears in inbox....

    Anyone have any idea why this might occur?

    You are too fast, or your network is too slow. If this is an IMAP-account, the messages needs to be deleted on the server. It may happen (even if it shouldn't) on slow network connections/servers that you quit mail before the deletion occurred on the server. That way mails can reappear after restarting mail.
    This does not apply to POP3 accounts.

  • Any insight as to why multiple Apple Mail IMAP accounts with Blackberry don't get emails?  Thunderbird seems to work fine.

    I have two instances of Apple mail connected to the same IMAP server; one on my iMac and the other on my MacBook (when I travel).  I also have a Blackberry Storm connected to the same IMAP server.
    The Blackberry gets emails fine.  The Apple Mail clients mostly don't get the same emails.  I have disabled the Blackberry and still get the same behavior.  Thunderbird or any web-based email client works perfectly well, so it seems the issue is with Apple Mail.
    Anyone have any suggestions?

    If TCP port 25 isn't open, then SMTP services won't work.  That's the port that all SMTP servers use to communicate amongst themselves.    (Sure, you can change the port your SMTP server is listening on, but you'd also have to change the port processing on all of the other SMTP servers around — and if you did manage to implement that change everywhere, the local network folks would likely just block the new port for the same reasons they blocked the old port.)
    If you have a public static IP address and have correct forward and reverse translations — host domain to IP address, and IP address to host domain name — then you don't need and very likely don't want to run your own DNS server. 
    More to help you learn how these pieces fit together and not something I'd expect you would need given you have a public static IP and public DNS here is a detailed DNS server configuration article for OS X Server; enable Show All Records and it applies to Server.app on 10.7 and later.  If you have questions after reading that, I can certainly answer them and also update the article to try to reduce the confusion or answer the question.
    Your host didn't have valid reverse DNS, so you'll want to get that cleared up, and you'll want to get the port blocks cleared, or work with the local network folks to set up a relay through one of the existing mail servers.

  • Apple Mail rules keep reappearing after I deleted them!

    I created some rules in Apple Mail to play a bit around but after I deactivated and finally deleted them, they keep appearing and formatting all my mails.
    So now I have no rules defined under preferences but they are still somehow active.
    How can I remove them completely?

    I have this exact same problem. I created a rule for Mail to move e-mails, with some given keywords in them, into the junk folder. Then I removed the rule completely, deleted it. But all incoming e-mail are still moved to the folder. Although I have NO rules left.

  • Apple mail -- all accounts offline after sleep

    I am having a problem with the mail app on a late 2010 MacBook Air. Specifically, all accounts are offline after resuming from sleep.
    I am running apple mail (7.3),  and OS X 10.9.3.  Once the network reconnects, only the mail app remains a problem.
    The problem seems to have coincided with EITHER (or both) my having messed around with the DNS configuration in order to try an app called Blockless and/or having upgraded to OS X 10.9.3.  I have four mail accounts, all but one of which are Gmail IMAP accounts (the 4th runs from Bluehost mail, and is also an IMAP account).  I currently have the DNS set at the default number, but might try going back to 8.8.8.8.  Mail works fine on my several iOS devices.

    At least for the time being, I may have resolved this by using Google's public DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)

  • Emails are "stuck" in my Apple Mail Outbox. I have deleted the account and reinstalled but still have the problem. Apple's "Network Diagnostics" report that it cannot connect to the SMPT server.

    Emails are l "stuck" in my Apple Mail Outbox. I have deleted the account and reinstalled but still have the problem. Apple's "Network Diagnostics" report that it cannot connect to the SMPT server. TalkTalk (Tiscali) say there is no problem with their server because I have checked and can send emails with their webmail.

    No that is not it:
    Open Mail>Preferences>Accounts, the first page has this on it
    If you click on the server name in the box (gmail in your case I assume) it opens and reveals this:
    If you select Edit SMTP Server list you get this:
    Post it here and, select the Advanced Tab (which looks like this)
    Post this page as well.

    have a question I do not use mail in my computer I use yahoo and I have all these emails and selected all and then delete then delete trash and they always come back how do I stop these old email in apple mail? I never send anything from there but I have the same email in yahoo but delete them and they still show up in apple mail from day one how do I get rid of these once and for all.Please help
    <Edited by Host>

    I am soooooooooooo confused now.  Ok, if you are having problems with Yahoo Mail and Gmail but you do not use Apple's Mail you need to do the following:
    1 - Post in Yahoo's Mail forums and/or contact their tech support.
    2 - Post in Gmails forums and/or contact their tech support.
    Neither of the above are Apple's products.

  • I'm unable to send and receive email through Apple Mail 4.  I've checked my settings on Preferences, and my password to Gmail is up to date for syncing with IMAP, but it still won't connect.  Suggestions?

    I'm unable to send and receive email through Apple Mail 4.  I've checked my settings on Preferences, and my password to Gmail is up to date for syncing with IMAP, but it still won't connect.  Suggestions?

    I think it's trying to open it in a gMail eMail & is losing your gMail password that it needs log into gMail, but not 100% positive.
    Have you tried Right clicking or Control+click on the eMail link & choose Copy? Works on some, not others.

  • Since 2 days can't send emails via Apple Mail

    Hi,
    for 2 days now I'm unable to send emails from Apple Mail.
    I have an Hotmail account (using POP3) and a WEB.DE account (using IMAP) connected with Mail. Every time I try to send an email Mail tells me the SMTP server are offline. My mobile.me account though works properly.
    To exclude problems with certain ports on my WLAN router I tried to use Thunderbird on my Windows PC with these accounts. Sending emails this way wasn't a problem at all.
    Also deleting all accounts and setting them up again didn't make a change...
    Even changing the OS back from Lion to SL hasn't made an impact.
    Any suggestions what might cause this weird problem?

    Hello P:
    Since each one is different, I suspect the best answer to your question lies with your ISP.

  • How to retrieve deleted gmail in apple mail.

    During the process of deleting thousands of emails in apple mail, I accidentally deleted all the email.  Can this be undone or can I retrieve those deleted emails?   The trash has been emptied.

    In the mailbox list, below the word "MAILBOXES" and the standard mailboxes (Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Trash, & Junk), you should have some lines like "SMART MAILBOXES", "REMINDERS", "RSS", "ON MY MAC", and a line with the name of each of your mail accounts. Each of those lines may have subordinate lines indented below it, or they may be hidden. Before Lion, the top-level lines would have standard disclosure triangles to their left like folders, but Lion Mail removed that visual clue in favor of a word "Show" or "Hide" to the right that appears only when you mouse over it.
    The Gmail Spam folder you seek is two folders deep inside your Gmail account.
    Here's my Gmail account listing:
    It has 41 unread messages. If I hover my cursor over the oval with "41" in it, the oval shifts left and "Show" appears. If I click on "Show", I get this:
    If I click on the disclosure triangle left of the "[Gmail]" folder, voila!
    By the way, this intermediate "[Gmail]" folder is specific to Gmail, Google Apps mail sites, and other mail sites using Google's Gmail code, as is the All Mail folder. Other servers will have their own folder structure.
