Deleted Messages keep reappearing as new Mail

Everytime I erase messages and close down when I open they all come back for the whole year as new mail and I have to wait till they are all loaded before I can get my new mail

For the whole year? What do you mean?
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?
More info, please.

Apple Mail 2.1.3 (OS X 10.4.11) deleted message keeps reappearing

I sent a mail that exceeded the maximum size of the recipients mailbox. When the mail-delivery message came back, my system HD was full and the incoming mail could not be stored. After I got my Mac back running, the mail-delivery-error-message keeps reappearing – even after deletion.
When I delete the message in the inbox and in the trash, it reappears as soon as I click on "Inbox". If I open the message and click the "Delete Message" icon, it stays and appears in my trash as often as I clicked it. How can I get rid of that message?
Thanx.

If you know what you are doing it may be simplest to backup all emails and Mail settings and progressively remove Mail settings and files until you find the problem.
Make sure you do not delete more than you have to from the server.
Perhaps start by checking the server via web access to see that it looks OK at that end and does not have your large file stuck somewhere.

Mail account doesn't work properly, deleted messages keep re-appearing, others seem to disappear and reappear at random.

deleted messages keep re-appearing, others seem to disappear and reappear at random

I have the same problem. Thankfully one which was missing came back. I printed it out and made a PDF of it since it was an important one I'd been looking for.
I have three icloud email accounts which folders for each one. Now they mostly come up in my inbox instead of the correct folder and they won't move to the correct one.
Come on Apple, fix this.

I have duplicate mail accounts and deleted messages keep redownloading in gmail

I am using Mountain Lion and I have a me.com email account, gmail account, and sbcglobal.net account. I set up my accounts in iMail and I use iCloud, but now I have duplicate mail accounts and every time I delete messages from my gmail account, the next time I go into Mail, all the deleted messages are back in my gmail account. How do I stop this from happening and how do I make it so that I don't have duplicates of everything!

All 3 email accounts show up under Inbox, but all three also show up as iCloud, sbcglobal.net, and gmail. The iCloud account will occasionally get duplicates, the sbcglobal.net account only gets mail that sbcglobal.net has put into a "bulk" folder and seems to be all junk mail and does not show up in the sbcglobal.net inbox account and the gmail shows up in both places, but I can delete messages in the gmail inbox account and they do not download again, but the second gmail account is the one that keeps redownloading the already deleted messages into the gmail "all mail" folder. I have tried deleting the gmail account and have gone to gmail's help page, but they are behind with set up for Mac Mail. The set up is for Mail 3.0 and not 6.2. It keeps downloading over a thousand emails into this gmail "all mail" folder. Is there any way to stop this?

Deleted emails keep reappearing-GoDaddy delay the cause.. How to relocate to gmail?

For 4 months my deleted emails keep reappearing 3-5 times. After 4 consultations with my web and mail host, GODaddy and 4 with Apple Geniuses and both blaming the other, An Apple trainer opined, and a GoDaddy supervisor Reluctlantly confirmed that there is a long delay in GoDaddy when I delete email in MAIL. Go Daddy sup admitted that they have had this problem for the same period I have been going crazy with it. He suggested that since they did not know when it would be fixed that I move my email accounts (not my web sites) from GoDaddy to Gmail, but not to do itmyself, or I might lose much! Apple genius does not wan to do it, nor does GoDaddy! Any suggestions?

Thank you, Ernie.
These are all IMAP. I see trash on the server and on MAIL. deletine Trash used to work from MAIL, but in last 4 months, if I want something to take effect, I work from the web mail of go daddy and MAIL gets the message.
So you suggest I go to Gmail and set up accounts ( I assume they will walk me through ) (starting from my current gmail acct that my android uses-- or start from scratch?) to receive email addressed to my current email addresses? Then by not transfering out of goDaddy, I won't lose lots of email and mail files, folders in the transition?
There is a discussion on this topic of GoDaddy delays, from 2010 and 2011. So I may not be alone with the problem now.
Best,
Gayle

Is it possible to delete message in the server using Mail configured using IMAP?

Is it possible to delete message in the server using Mail configured using IMAP?
Currently when I delete the message in Mail, the server still keep a copy of it, which means it is not deleted on the server. I know that POP can do this but I still want the option of being able to access it from other computers.
My server has only a small size, so I hope that I can just delete it from my Mail instead of having to log in to the server and delete it again.
Thank you.

Yes, but doing so will remove it from everything else.

After searching, found a few answers and tried one last thing-- allowing Safari to accept Cookies. I never use Safari so never changed any settings in it ever. However, I guess an update along the way turned off cookies in it and that was the blockage. Once I allowed Safari to use cookies I was able to redeem the gift card. SO, glad this board is here for these types of questions!!!!

Song appears in itunes, delete but keeps reappearing

song appears in itunes, delete but keeps reappearing. the song is youth from foxes downloaded from the itunes store for free , even though i delete it from either the ipod 5th generation itself or if i connect it to itunes and delete it from their every time i delete it , it will reappear in itunes if a resync. and theirs two copies of it idk why. i want to delete the song from itunes, i know the song will keep appearing on the ipod because of apples stupid idea trying to make me redownload it. the songs are both shaded in grey. solution plss

Best route here is to focus initially solely on the iTunes Library. Once it has all the Songs that you want, turn off iTunes Match, sign out of iTunes Store and restart the computer from cold.
Moving to the iPhone would suggest a restore and fresh link to the library post the following steps.
1. Sign in to iTunes Store;
2. Turn on iTunes Match - allow 3-step process to run to completion;
3. Make secure backup of library;
4. Force iPhone in to restore mode - hold down 'power on/off' with 'home key' for 10 seconds
5. Attach iPhone via USB to computer and follow 'restore' instructions in iTunes
6. Once complete synchronise with library as required
At this stage all required Songs should be on the iPhone - post iPhone back-up a good point to fully enable iTunes Match on the iPhone if required.

Deleted mail keeps reappearing in new box

i try to delete my mail, but when i toggle between folders, by the time i get back to my IN box, they're all still there. i can't get them to the trash. on top of that, my trash won't delete either. it's stuck on "opening mailbox"

I was just searching the forums for this very problem, and was disappointed that the originator of this thread didn't seem to have the same symptoms!
If I copy a message, or designate it as junk, or delete it, it grays out but doesn't delete. I can delete it by erasing deleted messages (Apple + K) just as you describe. I would like to fix it so my messages would delete automatically when they're copied, like they used to.
Should I try the same things you recommend for this thread's originator, or is this a different problem?
Thanks.

Mail deleted massages keep reappearing

I am a Mavericks operating & macbook user. I have noticed that every time I use Mail and delete unwanted messages, they keep reappearing again.
Is there a way to make Mac Mail is the Master and Yahoo/Gmail/Outlook is the slave, so that every action taken in Mail will be reflected in its relative mail box?
Regards,

Hello Joe.
What type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)?
Certain messages keep re-appearing in my inBox, even when I delete them.
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.
Mail is only receiving some of the email messages sent to me.
Do you have any custom rules? It looks like Mail is downloading all the messages, but your rules are processing them in an unexpected way...
Open the Account Info window by choosing Get Info (⌘I) from the Action menu (gear icon) located below the mailbox list in the main Mail window. Does Mail display there the messages that it doesn’t download? Do they appear as already downloaded or as not downloaded yet (dot column)?

Why does pages 09 keep opening a new mail message

I'm using pages 09 now (was using 08; tried the new 5.0 but it is useless based on backward compatability)
When I click on a name in a document it immediately opens a new email message with To as the contact I clicked on. I've tried turning off all the auto complete, etc I can find but it still happens.
Specifically,
if I go to the footer, the next time I land on a name in the body of the document it opens up a new email.
Once I close the mail message I can continue typing, editing etc.; but the moment I go to the footer and then return to the text box it jumps to a new mail message when I click on a name.
How do I turn this off?
George O.

More on this and a correction-
there is a part of this document outined in blue- whenever I go into this part from the footer it initiates an email to me; it doesn't matter where I click. My earlier question said when I click on a name this happens; but actually anywhere in the outlined area.
some of the document does not have thin blue outlines; when I go there I'm ok- no new email.
so, what are the blue lines about?
and why does it send me an email when I move into the outlined area?
thanks for any help !
george

TS2755 Deleted SMS messages keep reappearing - please help

Thank OldGnome... I didn't even know that setting existed. Fixed my problem. Blonde moment.

Hang on quit, message keep reappearing

Latest OS version with all updates. Large mail file (1+ GB, thousands of messages).
New problem (just appeared today):
1. When I do a "get new mail" on one of my POP accounts, the operation never terminates -- I get the spinning progress circle next to the account folder forever.
2. I have to Force Quit mail to make it stop.
3. Apparently it doesn't get around to marking the new messages as read, because I get a new copy each time I do the "get mail" operation.
4. If I delete a batch of these new messages, and then rebuild the mailbox, they all reappear, even though they are also in the trash folder.
Obviously some sort of corruption -- any suggestions what to do about it?
Thanks,
Neil Faiman

Hello Neil (or is it Robert?)
Verify/repair your disk first (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, try this:
1. Quit Mail if it's running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong -- e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down.
3. Locate the Envelope Index file and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
4. Open Mail and proceed to re-create the index -- Mail says it's "importing", but it just re-creates Envelope Index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
What you've said makes me believe that there could also be a problem with the file that Mail uses to keep track of which messages have already been downloaded, so you may want to try the following as well:
1. Quit Mail.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/.
3. Locate one or two files named MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded and move them to the Trash. Mail 1.x used MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded to keep track of which messages had already been downloaded. Mail 2.x uses MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2 for the same purpose.
Deleting that file will cause Mail to download everything still on the server as if new. You can use the Account Info window first to remove from the server any messages you don't want to be downloaded again. In order to do that, choose Get Info (⌘I) from the Action menu located below the mailboxes list in the main Mail window -- type "Account Info" in the search field of Mail Help for more information on this feature.
2. I have to Force Quit mail to make it stop.
Open Window > Activity Viewer, and try canceling the operation there instead.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder.

My deleted emails keep reappearing! cannot delete them!

I have a weird problem. In Mail, I keep getting a ton of deleted old emails. They just reappear in the inbox. I rebuilt the envelope index file. I rebuilt the mailbox. Still same problem.
It is a comcast POP email account.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help with this!

I have the same problem
I discovered that if I look at emails that have been sent to trash, select them and press delete they all come back into the trash. When I do the proper erase deleted messages then they don't.
I noticed some people were having this problem on iphone as well.
I now have emails coming back into the Trash 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.
And sometimes their are multiple maybe 5, copies of the same emails
apart from that
I often receive two copies of the same emails, one will go into my inbox and one to trash or wherever I have a rule set for it to go.
I have loads of emails, I sort them all into folders with rules, and keep them for easy reference, especially if they are about work, would this have anything to do with it? Is there a limit on how many emails you can keep?
