Deleted mail keeps coming back

I go thru the process of deleting an email message then I go to the trash and delete it from there as well, often when I start up my touch another time I still see the deleted email appear as if I never deleted it before. Any help out there?

Hi,
What account are you using for Mail? My GMail works fine, so maybe it is just your account. Are you sure when you check your emails you are in "Inbox" and not "Trash"?
Hope this helps!

Deleted mail keeps coming back in to mail

Using mail on Imac, Laptop, ipad and iphone.
When I move a message to a folder on the imac it keeps coming back in to the mail account. It appears to work OK on the laptop when I move a message. All the settings appear to be the same. Any idea what is going on?
Thanks

An update to my previous questions. This problem I think started after Maverick was installed. Also if I just try to delete a message it will pop back in. Appreciate someone telling me what is going on?
Thanks

Deleted emails in Mail keep coming back since 10.10.3 update

Mac Mail won't let me delete email or move email to other mailboxes since updating to 10.10.3. I delete messages or move them to other folders/mailboxes, and they keep coming back to my Inbox. Some messages come back almost instantly. Some come back after a few minutes. Other messages have come back that I deleted earlier in the day. There don't appear to be duplicates, since the messages I deleted aren't in the trash or in the folder/mailbox to which I moved them. Some messages have stayed in the trash, but when I try to permanently delete them, they reappear. The only way I've been able to permanently delete messages is by going online and deleting them in Gmail. I have used Gmail in combination with Mail for years without problems, and I had been using an earlier version of Yosemite without problems. My mail account is a Gmail account set up as IMAP. I have folders/mailboxes that are in Gmail and I have folders/mailboxes that are on my computer, but the messages I move won't stay in either type of mailbox. I tried rebuilding the mail envelop with Onyx which has helped with Mail quirks in the past, but this time it did nothing to solve the problem.
Macbook Pro, Mid 2010, 2.66 GHz, Intel Core i7

I have an android phone. If I read a message on my phone, it still shows up on my desktop.
One of the problems with deleting messages is that I when I delete messages from the main Inbox (the Inbox that includes all incoming messages from all accounts), some of those messages stay in the Inbox for the individual account as unread. A typical scenario is that after reading all of my new email and deleting messages, I notice that Mail shows that I still have unread mail. So I go to the Inbox for an individual email account, and there are a bunch messages that I deleted (sometimes half, sometimes all of what I deleted) that are in the Inbox of the individual account and show as unread. Then when I go back to the main Inbox, and all of the messages that I deleted are suddenly back in the that Inbox. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to which messages get stuck. Sometimes the messages go away on their own. Sometimes they won't ever go away. I delete them from the main Inbox; they come back. I delete them from the individual account Inbox; they come back. I go to the Trash, delete them before they've gone back the the Inboxes, and they come back. The only way I can get rid of these zombie messages is to access the account through a browser and delete those messages online.
Another problem I have, is that Mail is constantly asking me to re-enter the password for one of my email accounts. Fortunately, it's an account I use less frequently, but it's a real problem when I Mail asks me to re-setup up an account every time I open Mail.
The problem has doubled or tripled the time it takes for me to keep track of my email. I'm going through reviews and looking for a replacement for Mail. I will be the first time I've used something besides Mail since I used Eudora (during the time when it was the best program available and you had to buy it).

Macbook Pro - mail account. Deleted messages keep coming back!

Hey,
I've deleted several messages (they were also in my drafts) and they keep popping back up in my sent mail and inbox, sometimes multiple copies of the same message. I want those messages gone. They keep coming back!!!! How do I fix this?

In Mail you have to move the message to gmail trash. Just deleting the message assigns it the delete label but doesn't delete it. You can truly delete the messages in web gmail, however.
I hope this helps.

Mail keeps coming back

My mail account is going crazy! When I delete a message it keeps coming back, and back, and back. Today I had 650 new messages - all old ones that I have already read. I have no clue what's going on. I have a yahoo account that is set up through Mail...can anyone help me?
Thanks!

Ok, so I put my preferences to what you said - still doesn't work (I did not have Remove copy from saver checked). By old I mean 9 messages from Sept 17th-yesterday....they just keep repeating themselves over and over and over....so it ends up 30 of the same message - x 9 messages. I haven't received anything new on my yahoo account since yesterday. I do know I received a mail posting from a Gay Morgan RE: Response needed regarding Statement $47312. I had no clue who that was - but opened it in case it was something for my hubby. It had a Word document attached to it that I did NOT open. A while later I got a message from Yahoo mail about my virus protection not being available for the Gay Morgan message.....but I thought I couldn't get a virus on a mac?? I talked with a mac dude over the phone and he said it didn't sound like a virus...but I was too cheap to pay the $50 to have him help me!
thanks for helping!

Mal/Phish-A threat from mail keeps coming back

I have been dealing with this Mal/Phish-A threat for a couple of months now. I keep getting a Sophos Alert to clean this Mal/Phish-A threat and when I clean it up, it pops up again. At first after a couple of days, now sometimes multiple times an hour. Needless to say this makes work very difficult, and I am also scared that the safety of my (professional) Mac is compromised. The threat appears to be an email attachment always called FullDetails.html. I read my mails using the Mac's Mail programme, and this particular account is a gmail account. I use the imap.gmail.com server to pull in email. The path of the threat is something like /Users/MYCOMPUTER/Library/Mail/[email protected]/[Gmail]/Alle berichten.imapmbox/Attachments/110344/2/FullDetails.html. I have tried the following: Clean up the threat using SophosScanning the computer (finding nothing every time) using Sophos after cleanupRemoving the attachments in FinderFinding emails containing FullDetails.thml and removing the mailsEmptying out my trash immediately after Threat keeps coming back. I don't know what to do. Please help!

Hi all,I would love to receive some more feedback on this issue. I am able to remove the threat from my computer, but I get new mails sent with this same virus every day, and I want to find a solution that does not involve me removing the mail after it's already downloaded to my computer. My Mac mail client downloads all mails and attachments to my computer, even if I don't open them. This means that the attachment I get sent everyday is downloaded automatically. I use gmail als mail client, but read all mails from the Mac mail client. Solution that's been suggested is 'catch' the email from gmail webmail, delete from there and after that open my mail client on the computer. However, this is not a real solution: I use the mail client on the Mac for reasons of efficiency and speed during my work and opening up and deleting mails from gmail everyday before the working day starts is not a real solution. I would like to hear if there is a way to prevent mails from arriving in my mail, or to permenantly delete mails upon arrival, without them being stored in inbox, trash or spam folder. Hope someone here has the solution!

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 app keeps coming back

I've deleted this app twice but keep getting updates for it. Out of habit, I click "update all" and get the stupid thing again because there's no way to stop the download at that point. I've tried getting the icons to jiggle, but the one in process has no delete option until it's loaded again.
Any way to keep it out of my updates to begin with? How do I permanently delete an app? Thanks.

I am having the same problem. I have deleted the app in iTunes and on the iPod but every time I download updates, it keeps coming back. How can I get this app (Utah State Parks Field Guide) to leave me alone.

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

Mail keeps coming back after deleted

I keep getting deleted mail back.

If you're on pop, deleting mail off the iPad will only get rid of it off the device, to stop this from happening you need either IMAP or delete the messages yourself fom the server

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.

Read e-mail keep coming back as unread

Around two times a week, or more, Mail keeps telling me that e-mails I have read is unread. Around 4-12 e-mails pops up as unread, still with the same date as when I received them the first time.
Anyone have the same problem?

Well, I don't know if Mail is downloading them, because they are still in my inbox. But they pop up as unread rather often.

Deleted undeliverable mail keeps coming back to the inbox!

Today I sent out an email to about 100 people. When I try to delete the 30 messages that came back as undeliverable messages they simply return to the inbox, instead of being permanently deleted from the trash. Any ideas?

You may be able to get rid of those messages in Mail doing Edit > Cut (⌘X) (for best results do it with one message or just a few at a time), but you should remove them from the server first if they’re still there.
What type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)? Does it allow web access? If not, you may find the Account Info window useful to solve this problem — choose Get Info (⌘I) from the Action menu (gear icon) located below the mailboxes list in the main Mail window.
