Deleted Emails Keep Coming Back -- WHY has this not been fixed?

Settings on iPhone:
Mail Type: POP
Deleted Messages = After One Day
Delete from Server = Whn removed from inbox
iOS: 5.1.1
Okay.....this is ridiculous, if you search the web you find hundreds of people complaining about this problem and not one offers any type of solution. This never happened on my Blackberry. This ONLY started happening again a few weeks ago on the iPhone.
I have NOT changed any settings anywhere as it relates to email. This is just annoying when you are trying to work and you get buzzed to only find the same ones deleted are back again.
Is there a FINAL solution to this problem Apple.
Thanks to all who respond.

If it used to work properly you could try deleting and recreating the account on your phone to see if that would help. Otherwise you might have to contact godaddy support to see if they know if their server will honor the settings on your phone.

I just put up a new iWeb website and firefox is putting BIG BLACK BOXES around all my photos. Why has this not been fixed yet? I have to tell everybody who views my site NOT to use Firefox. This is unacceptable. Please fix ASAP. This is my site below.

with 3.6.19 it works well, no black boxes
with 5.0.1 there are black boxes

You will have to wait for Firefox 6 to get this fixed. It is a bug only in Firefox 5. That bug existed when the Firefox 5 code was split off and Firefox 5 didn't get the fix that later version got.

Why do my deleted emails keep coming back into my inbox?

I upgraded to Maverick last week and now I can't delete any of my emails. They keep coming back into my inbox after I try to delete them. Help!

Make sure you have option set to delete from server when read. Otherwise they will keep coming back.

Deleted emails keep coming back since the last big update on my macbook pro

Ever since the update that removed the ability to work with spaces on my mac, I have had issues with deleted emails coming back, even after deleting more than once. Very frustrating.
Side note: I preferred using the spaces function when moving from email to internet to other programs. Not a huge fan of the updated function.

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore is not, in itself, a solution.
First, empty the Trash, if possible.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C:
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 $ 2>&- | wc -l | pbcopy
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
The output of the command will be a number. It's automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste it into a reply.
The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

Deleted emails keep coming back

This seems like a common problem, but I've yet to see a solution. I'm on an iPhone 4, and whenever I delete emails, they constantly return 2 to 3 times before finally staying deleted.
My emails come through my personal site account on godaddy, (secureserver.net), and all my settings seem to be correct to delete emails from the server when deleted from my phone. I've reset settings, restarted phone, updated, etc etc etc. Nothing seems to stop this from happening. I know it's not THAT big of a deal, since I can delete them AGAIN, but it is really frustrating.

Having the Same issue. @#$%ing annoying. My pop account worked fine for like 3 weeks, and then the mail program started doing this. POS.

Moved or deleted emails keep coming back to Mail inbox

Since Maverick installation, I have been trying to keep my folders from various email accounts organized like in the good old days of Lion but Mail keeps moving my emails back to the original inbox each time I try to either delete or move one of the emails (it usually happens after 3-5 minutes). So much time wasted every day... How to fix please? Thanks.

Just wondering if you have the latest Mail update. This may fix the issue.
Hope this helps

Deleted emails keep coming back (3.0.1)

Hi
Since installing 3.0.1 any emails I delete return after reboot.
I delete any new emails from my inbox. I then empty my trash for that account.
If I then swith off the phone completely (say, overnight) and then switch it back on, all the emails are back and my trash is full again.
These emails definitely no longer exist on the mail server, so aren't being downloaded again.
Does anyone else have this problem?
More importantly, anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks
Mr M

Apple please come up with a fix for this!
I am in the same boat as misterm2009. Since last night I have been unable to delete the emails in one of my iPhone email accounts. They show up as new emails but when I try to delete them, either by 'edit' or going to the message and 'trashcanning' it they go but then just reappear as new messages. During the deletion I might be lucky and delete all 6, now 7, of them but more often than not the screen blanks during the process and returns me to the main iPhone home page. Any emails that looked like they had been deleted just reappear as new emails on the icon at the bottom.
I am running os 3.1 and due to a running issue with my previous 3G iPhone am loathe to update to 3.1.2. It kept crashing during update and then was unable to restore....became a useful paperweight! Apple finally thought the phone had a glitch but could not guarantee it.
I have carried out a phone reset by holding the 2 buttons down, deleted offending email account and re-entering the details and I think the phone was restored at one point today but still they come back!!!!! I have checked and they are not on the server and are not continuously appearing in MS Outlook.
Any ideas all you very knowledgeable, helpful people? Especially Apple support!
Cheers

Old emails keep coming back

I am using Mail on a macbook pro with retina display, running OS X 10.9.5. Recently, duplicates of old emails keep coming back into my inbox - unread, as if they were brand new emails. They always come a handful at a time. They show the original dates of receipt, so they appear way down in my inbox and I have to sort by 'unread' to bring them to the top and delete them. There seems to be no rhyme or reason - e.g. some are from contacts, some aren't, some I deleted when I originally received them, some I kept, some I replied to, some I didn't. Any ideas on how to stop this happening?

Cool.
First, when it finds the OLD messages can you actually open them up? If so, you can/should rebuild your Trash Mailbox. I suspect you cannot open the old message though, which points to your Envelope INDEX being messed up.
Quit Mail. Then, under ~/Library/Mail is a file called Envelope Index. Move it to the Trash. Or if that makes you nervous, drag it to the desktop. Open Mail. It will give you a message that will scare you -- a Welcome to Mail or a Mail Message Import window will pop up. This is fine. It will tell you it is importing your mail. Really it sees all your mailboxes but no index so it is creating that index.
See if that doesn't fix your problem.

HT6601 Why has this update been installed without my knowledge?

Why has this update been installed without my knowledge? Why wasn't I given the opportunity to refuse the update? Isn't this update meant to stop this unauthorised access to my computer? Has this given back door access for ASIO, NSC, MI6 to my computer?

So what are your preferences set as regarding updates?
And, are you running ML as shown in your profile?
And, I downloaded and installed this update because there was a possible security issue; however, I have all automatic software update checks and downloads turned off, so i downloaded it manually as it was critical to install it as long as you are using the internet.
Has this given back door access for ASIO, NSC, MI6 to my computer?
Why would you suspect that?

Has this bug been fixed in 1.3 and beyond?

There is a problem with adding a Mnemonic to a JLabel and linking it to a JTextField (I haven't tried other JTextComponents). Copy the following code, and try to run it:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class SwingProblem
   public static void main( String [] args )
         Create labels and text fields.
         You can use the keyboard mnemonics to switch
         between the fields: ALT-S and ALT-J.
      // For the top of the frame
      JLabel jlTop = new JLabel( "Swing" );
      jlTop.setDisplayedMnemonic( KeyEvent.VK_S );
      JTextField jtfTop = new JTextField( 20 );
      jlTop.setLabelFor( jtfTop );
      JPanel jpTop = new JPanel();
      jpTop.add( jlTop );
      jpTop.add( jtfTop );
      // Now, for the bottom of the frame
      JLabel jlBottom = new JLabel( "Jazz" );
      jlBottom.setDisplayedMnemonic( KeyEvent.VK_J );
      JTextField jtfBottom = new JTextField( 20 );
      jlBottom.setLabelFor( jtfBottom );
      JPanel jpBottom = new JPanel();
      jpBottom.add( jlBottom );
      jpBottom.add( jtfBottom );
      // Make the frame
      JFrame frame = new JFrame( "What's up with this?" );
      frame.setSize( 300, 150 );
      frame.addWindowListener( // stop the program already!!
         new WindowAdapter()
            public void windowClosing( WindowEvent evt )
               System.out.println( "See ya later, alligator!" );
               System.exit( 0 );
      // Now add the content
      Container cp = frame.getContentPane();
      cp.add( jpTop, BorderLayout.NORTH );
      cp.add( jpBottom, BorderLayout.SOUTH );
      frame.setVisible( true );
   } // main( args )
} // SwingProblemThe problem: when you use the keyboard mnemonics to switch between the two text fields, the the character is entered into the first field before the focus is transferred to the other one.
I am currently using JDK 1.2.2 on Micro**** Win****, and am waiting for the arrival of a disc with JDK 1.3 (I don't have the patience to wait for the download of the newer JDK over the telephone line...)
For those who have JDK 1.3 or 1.4(Beta), has this problem been fixed? I wanted to know for sure before I added this to the Bug Report.
Thanks

It has been fixed in 1.3.
Sorry for the post

I am trying to set up iCloud and it keeps coming back and saying "This apple ID's email address cannot be Verified. It is my main iTunes address and password. What is wrong?

Hi,
I am trying to set up iCloud on my various devices. When I log in with my iTunes (Apple id) it keeps coming back and stating
"Verify your account. This Apple ID's email address cannot be verified. Change your apple ids email address at appleid.apple.com to sig into i cloud"
My apple id has been alive and in use for years on iTunes etc. I have tried a different address and password and still get the same result
Help???
Regards
Brian

If your email address is valid, just go to https://appleid.apple.com/, click "Manage your account" to the right,sign in, click Name, ID, and Email Addresses to the left, then click "Verify now" next to your email address. Apple will send you an email to this address with a verification link. Otherwise add an alternate email address that can be verified.
