Duplicate E-mails and Vanished E-mails

Earlier this week I added a new POP e-mail address to my account - and a couple of things have happened. First I lost all the downloaded e-mails in one existing mailbox - they came up in the list but when I clicked on them - a note came up saying I needed to take the account online - it was online. All new e-mails come in - but the old ones vanished. I then pressed the "refresh" button thinking it might bring them back - but after that even the headings vanished.
Secondly - now a new event has occured as of this morning - I am receiving two copies of every e-mail addressed to one of my three mailboxes. I have checked my preferences and do not have the same incoming address for any of them.
My provider is Earthlink. Any suggestioins?

What does “I added a new POP e-mail address to my account” mean? Is that the only thing you did? Could it be that you created a new mail account, then deleted it, for example?
I then pressed the "refresh" button
What do you mean? There is no such thing as a “refresh” button in Mail...
I have checked my preferences and do not have the same incoming
address for any of them.
Not sure what you mean here either. What identifies a mail account are the User Name and the Incoming Mail Server, not the Email Address. If the username and the incoming mail server are the same, then both accounts are the same, no matter what the email address is...

  • 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!

  • Stop Duplicate E-mail Sending, How ???

    Hello.
    Versions:
    CF8, MySQL 5.5.27
    Database record fields:
    , FirstAttemptByCertNumber <-- same certification number
    , SecondAttemptByCertNumber
    , ThirdAttemptByCertNumber <-- same certification number
    , FourthAttemptByCertNumber
    Scenario:
    Web based airway management report. Four attempts are allowed per patient. An individual attempts an airway insertion and is not successful. This would be recorded in the first attempt section of the report. A different person does a second and attempt and is not successful. The first person attempts a third time and this time around is successful. So the FirstAttemptByCertNumber and ThirdAttemptByCertNumber DB fields would contain the same certification number. After the information is inserted into the DB and e-mail is generated and sent out. Client would like to have all information in a single DB record
    The goal (if possible) is to only send out one e-mail for each Certification Number in the DB record. I am able to get the last record id inserted, but cannot seem to get my head around how to stop duplicate e-mail sending.
    Is this even possible and if so, any suggestions on how to accomplish such a task? If more clarification is required please ask.
    TIA - Leonard B

    My machine sends them immediately with a prefix in the Subject line saying <RE: hi > then the original email title.
    And you have verified that they are indeed being sent by your computer based on an analysis of tcpdump logs or Wireshark logs running on another "believed clean"computer on the same LAN? I would strongly encourage you to submit excerpts of these logs to the likes of Intego, MacScan, etc., if so. You haven't downloaded any freeware from sites of unverifiable integrity, right? Is your DNS settings directing you to the DNS servers that you think they are (perhaps rerouting your sent mail to a rogue smtp server)? In Terminal, type scutil⏎ then type show State:/Network/Global/DNS⏎ and make sure you recognize the IP addresses of the reported DNS servers. (type exit⏎ to exit scutil)
    Spammers in Africa can't send their results immediately. Looking at the long headers of a spam returned to me, it's got the same routing info as me and was sent at the same time.
    Why not? I doubt that there is some guy sitting there manually doing this with email messages, it is automated, and would probably take milliseconds to duplicate your email, append the canned spam message, and shotgun it back out onto the internet. I live in Colorado and I picked a random server in New Zealand and pinged it (don't trust even pinging anything in some locales). The results?

  • Duplicate e-Mail Since Upgraded to 3.0

    I am receiving duplicate e-mails on my iPhone since the upgrade to 3.0 when retrieving over the air or from wi-fi. I have an original iPhone (2G) with 16g. I have 3 e-mail accounts, 2 are from gmail (both giving me duplicates) and 1 from ATT (no duplicates). The e-mail service with gmail on my MacBook are using IMAP, whereas the ATT mail is POP. e-Mail on my MacBook is just fine, as it is if I retrieve via the net from gmail. Only duplicates appear on my iPhone.
    If I delete just one of the e-mails, it actually deletes both. So I have to choose to keep both, or both get deleted.
    Any solutions out there to this, or is Apple addressing??
    Thanks

    I'm having the same issue with a POP account on my iPhone 3G S with OS 3.0 (I didn't have this before with the same account config on a 2.x 3G, which I upgraded.) My GMail and Yahoo! mail accounts seem to be OK (although I don't get as much mail at either of those).
    The duplicate issue comes and goes; not every message is duplicated on my iPhone. None of the messages are actually duplicated on the POP server.

  • 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.

  • Why am I getting duplicate e-mails?

    When opening e-mails on my iPhone, I find that I frequently see duplicate e-mails. This is not the case when I check mail on my iMac. It primarily happens when I receive e-mails from companies, not the individuals in my address book. I know it is not due to sender error, since I just sent myself an e-mail from work, and it shows up twice. Anyone know a fix for this?

    This very same problem began for me today.
    I had not seen this happen, but today, every new mail item from the AOL account appears in duplicate.
    None of my other mail accounts do that -- just AOL. I had Entourage check the same AOL acount and it only grabbed one copy of each message, so this seems to be an iPhone-AOL thing.
    Beyond that, I haven't figured out the fix, but I wanted to let you know that there's at least two of us with duplicate messages.

  • Mail receive duplicates e-mails, I switch to Thunderbird

    Sorry Apple, Mail is really not a gift. I use it for years because I wanted to forget Outlook or Entourage years. I found it was a good idea to use email soft integrated in OS. Now I'm fed up :
    - From several month, in spite of several upgrades, I always receive duplicates e-mails (even following the steps on your support site).
    - Junk mail doesn't works (Mail leaves marked Unwanted messages in Inbox).
    - Font and color palettes are really a pain. (I have discovered recently that actually the font palette is inspired by its sister in Windows WordPad !)
    - Sometimes, text pasted in the compose message window from different sources become impossible to format (lines breaks anywhere, crazy line spacing, etc.
    - No way to control if a file in particular is shown in the body or as attachment.
    etc.
    So I switch to Mozilla ThunderBird (1.5.0.4) not so smart either anyway.
    - Difficult to import messages from mail (but i succeded finally)
    - Idem for addresses.
    - There is aslo a big bug for the moment : you cannot paste an image in the message body !
    Sigh

    Dear mister Allan Sampson
    I'm happy you finally got into the light. It seems I owe it you that my previous posts were censured. By advance, may you excuse my poor english ?
    What I notice first, is that I'm said that my post dislikes when you answer to it but not when you simply trash-it. You could have told me what was wrong with my message. So I'm obliged to guess what is wrong by myself.
    1 = it contains "beep" words ? However "fed up" or bored appears hundreds times in the forum.
    2 = I name competitors ? Yes, but I name their lacks too. The word "thunderbird" appears hundreds time on the forum.
    3 = my post was not actually a question to members ? No indeed, I only post questions when I dare to disturb people when I'm lost with an issue.
    4 = I sould have write to http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/ ? Well I didn't know this adress but be sure know I note it.
    And did you know I'm an Apple suporter since 1987, have bought a dozen of Macs and selled the twice ? You wanna imagine how much bugs I had to deal with in that carreer ?

  • Duplicate e-mails - I'm going nuts

    I am setup via Exchange on BIS. We have Exchange 2007. It seems that when I reply to an e-mail from desktop Outlook, the original is sent to my phone. I don't get it. For example:
    I received an e-mail Wednesday, November 11, 2009 1:43 PM and just replied. My Berry just went off and the original e-mail that I received hit the phone at 8:36pm under the Saturday 11/14 filter but when I open the e-mail, the time stamp shows Wednesday, November 11, 2009 1:43 PM. The only times this is happening is when I reply to an e-mail. What am I missing?

    Here are a couple of similar threads on this subject.  It seems that this may be a problem with the Exchange IMAP and BIS (covered in the second link).  Unfortunately I haven't found an actual proper resolution, but hopefully the resolution in the second link will work in the meantime.

  • Duplicate POP Mail

    I am receiving duplicate copies of my POP mail...I set leave mail on POP server for a month, because I don't want mails deleted too soon, I am not always at my copy and would like to view my POP mail via the web. It seems the only way to not get the duplicate mails is to set delete from server when mail is downloaded. If this is the case this is really bad...With Microsoft Office Outlook, I can set Outlook to receive my POP mail without receiving duplicates when the mail is left on the server
      Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    You should be able to leave mail on the server for one month without getting duplicates, but Mail appears to have this kind of problems with some POP servers. Whether the culprit is Mail or the server, I don’t know. I’ve seen cases reported here (some Yahoo accounts a few months ago) where the culprit was clearly the server. You may try clearing things up and start over by clicking the Remove now button in Preferences > Accounts > Advanced. I would also try changing the setting to After one week and see whether that makes a difference.
    Another thing to try would be deleting the file that Mail uses to keep track of which messages have already been downloaded, in case there is something wrong with it. Problem is, deleting that file will cause Mail to treat all the messages still on the server as if new and download them again. Hence, you may want to remove messages from the server before trying the following procedure:
    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.
    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.

    How to delete duplicate E-MAIL addresses in the "TO" box on the top of the new mewssage file

    Hi Steven,
    Highlight one & hit Delete key.

  • Images I move from one folder into another are disappearing, at first it was occurring immediately if I did not copy and paste the images. Today however I found out that images I had been using for days just up and vanished from their new location.

    Images I move from one folder into another are disappearing, at first it was occurring immediately and only if I did not copy and paste the images. Today however I found out that images I had been using for days just up and vanished from their new location. A few of these images had copies in another folder that remained and the ones I couldn't find may or may not have ever had copies. I had backed up my system with time machine recently as well, so I went into the backup to retreive the lost images. When I searched and found the backup copies I got the error "the file alias cannot be opened because the original cannot be located". The crazy thing is that the images that remained on my computer did not give me the same error and opened like they should.
    In short images that I am creating, saving, and using are disapearing so epically that even time machine versions are affected when retrieval is attempted. Any suggestions as to what I could be doing wrong without realizing it? Or perhaps other people have had similar bugs that are software related and have a solution?

    Hi Kevin,
    I understand what you tried to do but it doesn't work that way. Swapping drive names will just mess things up.
    You should be able to reconnect the files though: in the Locate Referenced Files dialog make sure you click the Show Reconnect Options button — this will give you access to all the connected drives. Locate one of the files and hit Reconnect All. Should do the trick.
    Best

  • I am using FCPX 10.1.3. and want to duplicate my project, and its complete resources, to a different hard drive.  When I click "duplicate", it automatically duplicates the project in its current hard drive.  How do duplicate to a different hard drive

    I am using FCPX 10.1.3. with Yosemite, and want to duplicate my project and its complete resources to a different hard drive.  When I click "duplicate", it automatically duplicates the project in its current hard drive, unlike the previous FCPX that gave you options. How do duplicate to a different hard drive?

    Since projects are now stored in events and events are stored in libraries, you need to create a new l;bray on that different drive or open an existing library on that drive. Then duplicate your project and move it to the new library. It will copy the media. Then use the Consolidate Project File command to round up any external assets; there may or may not be any.

    You can restore your iPad with your iPhone backup but items that are iPhone only will not transfer.  It should recreate all your folders.  It can't hurt anything to try.

  • Fixing duplicate/triplicate folders and songs in itunes music folder

    The file structure of my music has gotten out of control.
    I keep all of my music on a lacie external drive.
    I think i used to import music into itunes incorrectly and
    there ended up being duplicates of files and folders.
    for some artists, i have seven folders that have between
    them (typically in an illogical order) all of the music i
    have for that artist.
    is there a simple fix for reorganizing everything without
    painstakingly going through every artist and every folder?
    please help!

    My music files were created long befor I had itunes, but I have been usinfitunes for about 10 months. I recently noticed that my music file has gone from about 3,500 tracks to almost 9,000 tracks the change being duplicates. itunes will identify the duplicates but does not have the capability to clean up the database.
    getting rid of about 5,000 duplicates is going to be a giant task and before I do it I would like to know how it happened and be comfortable it won't happen again. I just checked my preferences and I have selected "keep ... music folder organized".
    My music data base is on an external hard drive and part of a home network. Sometimes I have added music from various computers on the network. when I want to update the library on one of the other computers I have erased all music in the library and then added the music data base to the itunes on the computer attached to the external hard drive. Is that where the duplication takes place?
