Deleted mail keeps reloading in my Drafts folder.

Since upgrading to Mavericks, my email keeps putting old deleted messages (usually the same 5 messages) in my Drafts folder. I delete them there, but they just keep coming back. Anyone know how to fix this?
I am running Mavericks on my MacBook Pro with Mail 7.3.

Deleted mail can reappear if the folder has not been compacted frequently.

Suggest you move all good emails out of Inbox to other suitable folders for organising.
Then delete all emails you do not want.
then right click on Inbox and select 'compact'.
Then empty the Deleted folder.
Also Empty and compact the Junk folder.

Sent mail keeps showing up in Drafts folder

Recently, the mail I send out shows up in my Drafts folder even once I've sent it. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Mail keeps reloading being deleted and a sync is done

Mail on iPad that has been read and deleted will reappear when a sync is done. (The mail has also been read on Mac Mail.) If I would happen to sync multiple times in that day, the previously deleted mail will show back up again on the iPad. Mail on the server is only deleted with Mac Mail and that is after one day, not immediate. iPad does not initiate a server delete by choice as mail archives are kept on the Mac Mail.
This is really annoying and time consuming when there might be 50 or more legitimate emails to deal with. To delete is either a tap/slide/tap to delete or trash can/confirm delete. That is a lot of tapping!!!
Thank goodness the spam filter on the server out the junk or this would be a nightmare.

HI,
One your Mac, open the Mac Mail app. From the menu bar click: Mailbox / Rebuild
And reset your iPad. Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the
Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Try Mail on your iPad.

2 messages keep appearing in my Drafts folder

Over the past few weeks, Mail keeps adding 2 draft messages to my Drafts folder. They are both messages that I had one time saved as drafts but have long since finished and sent. If I delete them, they come back within a day. If I rebuild the mailbox, it makes no difference.
Any ideas?

While you are composing a messages Mail saves a version of the message in Drafts. It's supposed to remove from Drafts after sending but often it does not. You can set Drafts to be stored in the "On My Mac" Drafts folder to get rid of the problem, but you loose the ability to store the message in Drafts for access on another computer.
You might want to consider running the combo updater over your install to refresh your files. This can often fix odd issues like this.

You need to report it to Apple Feedback so it can be logged and put in the queue to be fixed.

IPhone Deletes eMail message when moving to Draft Folder

Hi, here's a nice bug.
I repled to a message, but it failed to send it so it wnet into the Outbox automatically. I came back later and decided to move it to the draft folder. "Poof", the message is instead deleted. Nice feature, Apple.
Anyone know where to submit bugs - is that the same place you submit suggestions 4 improvement?

I called apple about this bug a few weeks ago. It is an error with any POP email accounts. You cannot move emails between folders, they dissapear. They are working on the problem they told me.

Sent Messages in Mail are being Stored in Drafts Folder

Hi,
This does not happen to every message only some, but it happens to really important messages - I'm a freelance writer and it happens when I'm sending a resume or talking to a client.
When I hit send, the message shows up in my sent mail as being sent, but it also remains stored in my drafts folder. Sometimes I send a message and it shows sent and then a day later, that same message is in my drafts folder. A couple of times, even though they ended up in my sent folder, the recipient did not receive the message. Sometimes they receive them sometimes they don't, but I never know.
Can someone explain this and help me resolve this issue? Has this happened to anyone else?
Thanks.
IMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi Staci.
If Mail put the message in Sent, that means
the outgoing (SMTP) server told Mail that the message
would be delivered. If the message never reached its
destination, it could be because the SMTP server
didn’t fulfill its promise or because the message was
filtered out by either the recipient’s incoming mail
server or the recipient’s mail client for some
(probably spam-related) reason.
The fact that Mail sometimes fails to remove the copy
of the message from Drafts after sending it is
a glitch that has nothing to do with whether the
message was received or not, and appears to happen
only with IMAP-type accounts configured to store
drafts on the server.
So what type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP,
.Mac)? If IMAP or .Mac, what are your Preferences
Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors > Drafts settings?
Hi,
I use .mac for email and I prior to writing, I checked my preferences and made sure to uncheck "store drafts on the server." I'll see how that goes. Thank you though for answering my question.

Deleted emails keep reloading on iPhone 4S

After deleting read emails and emptying the trash folder, they reload as new emails on my iPhone 4S and iPad. Help!

I too am losing my mind. Tried initial reboot, etc. Then last night restored and reloaded/synced. On my POP account (earthlink) I continue to get it repopulating every time I delete an email. My resetting everything effectively wiped out my accrued emails which was fine since I pick them up on my laptop or via web if need be. But the 4 new emails CANNOT STAY DELETED!
So restoring wasn't an effective option.

Deleted mail keeps reappearing in my in box, apparentlt randomly

I am frequently receiving advice I have new mail only to find the new mail is in fact mail dating back some days or weeks. This may be 1 mail or multiple mails, perhaps up to 30 and is a real nuisance, Any advice most welcome, thanks. This only affecting Thunderbird, not Bell / Sympatico.

My deleted mail keeps returning to my in box, even if I delete my trash.

I have my inbox at the minimum amount of mail in settings. also to remove my trash after one day. Mail keeps coming back to my inbox even though I delete it manually from trash. drives me crazy.

I didn't mention this is on an ipad2.

BT Yahoo mail keeps reloading

Afternoon all - this just started happening.
My BT Yahoo email account (on my iphone 4) keep reloading the last 20-30 messages - I don't lose anything and it does show new messages but it means my phone is constantly vibrating or buzzing as if I have new email!
Just started this afternoon.
All software up to date and have deleted the account, re-entered - still the same and have reset the phone.
Any ideas?

Apparently nothing since November 2009...

A lot of my normal mail keeps being filtered to rubbish folder.

I move the mail to my normal inbox and the same recipients mail keeps filtering to rubbish all the time. How do I fix this?

Are you referring to mail being marked as spam and moved to the Junk mailbox? If so, your spam filter is, for whatever reason, considering legit e-mail to be spam. Go to the Junk mailbox, select the mis-marked messages and click the Not Junk button. If you keep doing this, Mail's spam filter should adjust eventually. You could also go to Mail -> Preferences -> Junk Mail and make sure that it is set to exempt messages from people in your Address Book, and make sure that those senders are in there. Alternately, you could just reset the spam filter and start re-training it from scratch.

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 Mail keeps returning to INBOX - please advise!

Please help me. I am trying to clean out my inbox because it has gotten out of control, I have over 4000 messages and I am trying to delete them in bulk.
This is what I have been doing: I highlight messages then select delete. Then, I go to the mailbox menu and select permanently delete messages - i have been doing this periodically throughout the entire process.
Then, at some point Mail quits unexpectedly. When I reopen the application ALL of the messages that I thought I had deleted are back!!
Any advice would be most appreciated.

Assuming this is a POP account and you can somehow manage to do the following without Mail crashing (you may take Mail offline to avoid new mail being downloaded while you try to fix the problem), try this:
1. Create a custom “On My Mac” mailbox (Mailbox > New Mailbox).
2. Instead of deleting the messages you don’t want to keep, move the messages you do want from Inbox to this newly created mailbox. Make sure that they are transferred correctly and you don’t miss anything.
3. Quit Mail.
4. In the Finder, go to the ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/ account folder.
5. Locate INBOX.mbox and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted after fixing the problem).
6. Open Mail. A new (empty) INBOX.mbox will automatically be created within the account folder.
7. Move the messages in the “On My Mac” mailbox back to Inbox if that’s where you want them to be.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

Deleted mail keeps downloading -

I keep getting 5000+ emails that have already being deleted back in my incoming, new mail folder...HELP

Does your email provider offer a Webmail interface (ie, Gmail or Apple's iCloud)? If so then try accessing that and deleting the messages there. In addition, go to the Accounts section of the Mail preferences and in the "Mailbox Behaviors" tab for the account with this problem (which may be all of them) uncheck the option to "Store deleted messages on the server" and also set the time frame for when to permanently erase deleted messages to a shorter one (e.g., a day instead of the default "month" setting).

Deleted emails keep reloading

Every time I delete my emails they just reload. There are hundreds. I have tried most solutions. Any ideas?

Kersh
Thanks for those details! I just want to make sure I have this straight. You delete emails on the computer and/or the phone, but they keep re-appearing your phone phone's inbox? If you use the Comcast email client instead of the pre-installed Mail app, does this continue?
