Duplicate e-mail accounts

I have duplicate e-mail accounts and need to delete off of my phone. Please help! It all started after I upgraded the software.

I'm having the same problem, and can't find any way to delete the extra account. The iPhone settings shows a single iCloud email account. Within the Mailboxes window in Mail, though, the Accounts box shows two iCloud accounts. One has the shiny iCloud icon while the other shows the old MobileMe icon with the clouds and blue sky. That's the one I'd like to get rid of, but I can't find any way to do so.

Is it safe to delete duplicate e-mail accounts on iPhone?

Downloaded new iTunes update 4.3.5 to my iMac OS 10.6.8. Then did a sync to my iPhone 4. Now the Mailbox on my iPhone 4 reflects the Yahoo account it has always reflected but now two duplicate sbcglobal accounts have also appeared. Is it safe to delete the two duplicate sbcglobal accounts? Many previously deleted e-mails have also reappeared.

I am new to this community so I may be doing something wrong...since it has been almost 3 hours and I've not received any replies regarding my question about duplicate e-mail accounts. Or is it just that no one has an answer for me?
I've read lots of replies regarding the error to the download 4.3.5 but none of them were my issue. Thanks for anyone's help!

Duplicate cloud mail accounts

My ipad shows a duplicate of one mail account only.
One has the email address I use on my icloud account.
The other one Just says iCloud.
But they are the same account.
When I look on my icloud accounts online, there is only one.
On my mac, on my iphone, only one.
I would like to remove the one which is the named account and retain the "icloud" account.
But there is no way on the ipad to remove an account (unlike on the iphone)
When I hook up to itunes and ask it to replace accounts on my ipad with accounts on my mac (one time only), it says it is doing it, but it doesn't.
How can I get rid of the duplicate account? Thanks.

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?

Duplicate e-mails from different accounts

I have two e-mail accounts that feed into the Mail program. Suddenly last night I had a problem where e-mail from one of the accounts would not have the blue "unread" indicator. I tried various things (mostly retying account info and double-checking settings) but nothing really seemed to work. So I decided I would run a software update before going any further.
Immediately after he software update I see my inbox is filled with duplicate messages--the entire inbox, not just recent messages. An e-mail sent to account #1 is there along with an e-mail listed as being from account #2--even though that e-mail was only sent to account #1.
Thoughts?

You cannot. Once you delete the account you delete all the files and data associated with it. Under the best of circumstances you may be able to use file recovery software to recover the data if it has not already been overwritten:
Basics of File Recovery
If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
If you empty the Trash the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down.
When you delete files you erase only the directory entries, not the files themselves. However, the space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten with recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

Why there are duplicate mail accounts in Mailbox?

Somehow the mail accounts in Mailbox of my iPhone 5 have been duplicated, so whenever there is a new E-mail, the unread E-mail number is doubled. This is what shows in the Mailbox.
As shown above, the Yahoo! mail and Gmail are duplicated, and I could not remove them with Edit. Anyone knows why this happens, and how I should remove the dplicate mail accounts here?

I have the same problem with my iPhone 4. The duplicate also appears on my MacBookPro. Have not found the solution yet.

Pop mail account and duplicates on mail.ap

Hi,
Mail is duplicating messages, I have a pop mail account and the preference setting is to erase messages on the server.
Some duplicates are from Nov 2006; after I erased all messages using the terminal and ssh connection.
I was told to rebuild mail index and did it, no improvement.
.......... any help appreciated, I have invested many hours into erasing duplicates ... thanks, Garrett
Why don't you try rebuilding your Mail index:
1. Quit Mail if it's running.
2. Go to ~/Library/Mail and delete the Envelope Index file.
3. Restart Mail and wait for it to import your existing messages. When that's done, any duplicates or ghost messages should be gone..

Sorry, both at once is confusing in retrospect.
Just meant backup the whole works and drag the current cache & envelope out of their locations to the desktop.
What about the plist?
You can make a Copy of that to move to the Desktop. Sometimes that needs to be made anew also, but requires putting in account info and such, so we generally wait on that one.
What about the files on the desk top?
If everything works right, we can trash them, if nit we can mive them back.
I'm not sure from these ideas what might be the result or why there is a problem in the first place.
Same here, but those files can become corrupt.

Merge Mail Account for duplicate account Mailman

Hi,
The situation I have is that a user listed only once in Workgroup Manager is listed twice in Mailman. I'm not really sure how this happened, but one account is linked to a newly created mail account. However most of the mail is in the other mail account. Is it possible to merge the disconnected mailbox into the active one? If not can I create a new user account and link the disconnected mailbox to the new user? How would I set the necessary permissions? From here I could use Mail (client) to get at the emails.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Mark

Many thanks to Apple Enterprise Tech Support.
The access control list for mail was not set to all users and groups.
To fix:
(1) In Server Admin, select the server.
(2) Select the 'Access' panel.
(3) Select the 'Mail' service'
(4) Set the radio button to 'Allow all users and groups'.
Previously I'd had mail restricted to 'only users and groups below'.

Duplicate mail accounts after converting to icloud from mobile me

Anyone else having problems with their iPhone 4s after converting from mobile me to iCloud?
I did the conversion and everythign works, except I cannot get my old mobile me mail account to go away on my iPhone.
I've deleted it from the accounts section of settings, but I still have an old mobile me mailbox that is showing the exact same thing as my iCloud mailbox.
It's like a mirror mail account that won't go away!
I just did a complete factory reset and updated to iOS 5, but it's still showing up.

Many thanks for the suggestion, I copied the messages in the iCloud mailboxes to new boxes "On My Mac".
As suggested here I then unchecked the "Mail and Notes" item in the iCloud pane in System Prefs on the iMac, iCloud then disappeared from my mailboxes. I then unchecked the "Enable this Account' box in Mail Prefs for the Mobiel Me a/c.
After checking the "Mail and Notes" item in the iCloud pane in System Prefs the iCloud boxes reappeared in Mail. I then deleted the Mobile Me a/c in Mail.
Seems a bit of a rigmarole! but it worked!

How do I remove a duplicated e-mail account from m...

Hello.
I have just updated my N97 and expected to lose all my data in the process, so after the update when the phone asked for my e-mail account details, I entered them.
Now I have two folders for my GMail account.
How can I remove the duplicate, as I can find nothing in the options screens to delete, or remove
Thanks,

Guess what ? I found a similar questio (and answer) on another thread, regarding an E65.
It was just about the same method for the N97 - so Sorted !
These phones are getting too darn complicated !

What is the advantage of an iCloud mail account?

I recently updated to iOS 5 on my 64GB iPad 2 +3G. I signed up for iCloud using the same Apple ID I have been using all along.
I was also able to create a new iCloud mail account using @me.com. What is the advantage of having this new email account?
I kind of understand the function of iCloud. It enables me to access the same content via all my iOS devices. If I have a photo in my iPad 2, for example, iCloud could push that same photo to my iPhone if I had one. (It is not much use to me now as I have no other devices besides my iPad 2. I guess I could use the computer at the library and access stuff at iCloud.com.)
The two email accounts I already have are already accessible using other devices.
I can access the same Yahoo account using my iPad 2, an iPhone, or a computer at the local library. So, why do I really need this iCloud account?
I have seen postings from others who have had prior Apple IDs, @me.com accounts, and something called MobileMe. My head spins when reading those posts.
I am new to the Apple world, so luckily I don't have those problems concerning the use of previously established stuff.
I used the same Apple ID I already had to set up my iCloud, but I used a slightly different variation of that email address to set up the iCloud mail account.
Was that a mistake? I am now wondering if I should have kept it all the same. It tells you you cannot change the @me.com address once it is established anyway.
Also, the iPad is considered superior to other tablets because of the wealth of apps available (140,000). Isn't that a little hyped?
There seem to be a lot of duplicative apps that are not too useful. For example, there are tons of calculator, alarm clock, and reminder apps in the app store.
Thanks for any insights you can provide.

"What is the advantage of having this new email account?"
It is simply an extra email if you wish to use it. You don't have to.
"Also, the iPad is considered superior to other tablets because of the wealth of apps available (140,000). Isn't that a little hyped?"
No. It is actually +600,000 apps.
The 140,000 is iPad specific apps. You can also run iPhone apps and universal apps just fine.
Sure there are lots of duplicates and a bunch of apps are lame but there are definitely plenty of very good quality apps.

Has anyone solved the problem of receiving duplicate e-mails?

I've posted this previously, but not gotten any satisfactory responses. A mail account I've been using for years is suddenly receiving duplicates. I have about ten mail accounts on my Mail app, and only this one is having this problem. I haven't changed any rules, I don't have a duplicate account. It's a huge pain, because there's so much I have to delete outright whenever I check my mail, plus, I have to do twice as much maintenance to keep down the amount of trash in the application. Anyone have any idea if this is a bug from a recent update? Or what's going on?
I've got the latest version of the OS X and mail (10.5.7 and 3.6). The account has been many places -- it was on my old G4 that had Tiger, then I got an aluminum Intel Core 2 Extreme iMac with Leopard and migrated everything over from the old system; then Apple had to replace my iMac three times because of power issues. Actually, it originated long before my G4 with Tiger. I've used this account forever. The problem, however, just cropped up spontaneously a few months ago, with no changes on my end. Thanks in advance for any help!

Have you looked on the web site for that one account to see if there are duplicate messages there? If not check that first. If therre aren't any duplicates there, the problem could be as simple as a corrupted Mail Index, which would be an easy fix. Post back with results.

I have two identical Mail accounts. How can I delete one without losing all the mail in both accounts?

I have two identical Mail accounts. Don't know how that happened -- the second one just showed up one day. If I try to delete one account, I get a warning that all mail in the accounts will be permanently lost. How can I delete one of the duplicate accounts without losing messages in both accounts?

Download the yahoo email app, if you already deleted and reinstalled the email account and still have issue.
This is a known issue with Yahoo email account.
