Duplicate emails after backup

Hi all,
I am closing in on streamlining my Mac Pro workstation. I recently (after much consideration) decided on a backup plan. I am using SuperDuper! and backing up my data/workfile hard drive daily and my OS/apps drive twice a week as per the configuration in the diagram below. After my first scheduled OS/apps backup I noticed that I received duplicate emails in the inbox of mac 'mail' on my main OS drive of files that must be marked as 'unread' in the backup mac 'mail' app inbox. I would like to address this and correct it as soon as possible.
Anyone have any thoughts as to what's happening and what might be done to fix it?
Thanks in advance for any input.
Best,
Dennis

Ernie,
Thanks for the note.
I see the file you are referencing in the home-->library-->mail directory.
I'm pretty sure that I didn't relaunch mail after yesterdays backup. The
duplicate emails just suddenly downloaded. I'm not sure if it was directly after the backup or not. So, what you suggest is, run the backup action, then check to see if the 'MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3' is still in place, is this correct?
Thanks again.
Dennis

Duplicate emails after upgrade to OS X maverick

After upgrading to the new software, Outlook for Mac 2011 now duplicates emails everytime it opens and closes. For example, today I had emails in my inbox from over a month ago as if they had just been sent this morning for the first time. Does anyone have a fix?

Me again. I've just been reading some of the other posts that are having the same problem and found this (see below) seems to have worked for a few people. I'm going to try it and will let you know if its worked or not.

Re: Mavericks and Outlook - repeated download of same emails
Nov 3, 2013 12:22 PM (in response to Swaby9)
Hello,
I have duplicate emails in Outlook since Mavericks install. Exiting the sleep mode (or exiting the screensaver) I found many time-out errors and Outlook re-downloaded every mails stored on the server.
I found a solution:
1 - Display information of "Microsoft Outlook.app" (located into the folder Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Microsoft Outlook.app. (Select the Microsoft Outlook.app "file" into the Finder and press Command+I)
2 - Check the box Disable/Prevent App Nap (On my french version "Empêcher App Nap")
Because I am not sure that Office 2011 manages App Nap, I disabled App Nap also for Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
I hope this workaround will work for you as well as it works for me!

Maddening duplicate emails after dumping the Verizon-Yahoo! Experience

Finally fed up with a totally unreliable email service offered under the banner of the Verizon-Yahoo! Experience, I dumped this Yahoo! 'Premium Service' and delinked accounts saying, I thought, good riddance. Fat chance! Now, after my standalone Verizon mail accounts have been successfully established, I am still haunted by a sole Yahoo! Mail account which insists on forwarding a copy of each email it receives to my primary Verizon mail account. Infuriating, as I now receive two copies of every email addrsssed to my Yahoo! Mail account: one to the Yahoo! account and one copy forwarded as a blind copy (BCC) to my Verizon mail account.
Got in touch with Yahoo! and they told me it's Verizon's problem. Okay, I next contacted Verizon Support and they pointed their finger at Yahoo! Hmmm, so now what I've got is two huge communications companies telling me 'it's not my problem', 'talk to the other guy'. To me it appears I've got two clueless internet giants who don't know where the problem originates, have no seeming interest in resolving the issue or even trying to understand the problem and, when without an answer, are masters at passing the buck. What a bunch of codswallop.
Has anyone reading this experienced a similar problem or at least know of the issue and how to fix it? There are no user-accessible setings that I know of in either Yahoo! Mail or Verizon mail's online settings to tweak to resolve this headache.
As things now stand, switching to COMCAST or perhaps unplugging entirely are looking like mighty appealing options. Being connected isn't worth this amount unnecessary grief. Thanks in advance for your help.

I believe it would be impossible for Verizon mail to forward mail from another mail service.
It is possible that Verizon mail is set up to import Yahoo mail. Go to Verizon Mail > Settings > Import > Import POP3 Email. Delete anything Yahoo that might be there.
If eliminating the "Import POP3 Email" scenario doesn't solve the the problem, the cause would seem to be with Yahoo. Your best resource for Yahoo issues might be on Yahoo Answers, Yahoo Products board.

TS3276 Why am I receiving multiple duplicate emails and how do I stop this from happening

Why am I receiving multiple duplicate emails after the initial message comes in, it keeps duplicating them. How do I fix this problem?

For the mailbox where you are receiving duplicates ...
Select the mailbox on the left of the Mail window.
From the Mail menu bar top of your screen click Mailbox > Rebuild
See if that helps the duplication issue.

I keep receiving duplicate email, even after deleting them, they keep coming up as new wails.

I keep receiving duplicate email even after deleting them

After you delete them, empty the trash before they re-load.

Received duplicate emails while weekly backup was running.

Tuned computer on, Retrospect weekly backup began running. Logged on to internet. Requested Apple mail. Received 14 duplicate emails from last few days. Can someone please tell me what the problem is?

Are any of you using the Daylite contact management program with the DMI mail interface? Just fishing for possibilities since no one has really responded. Are either of you having any other weird Mail behavior? One of our computers is having major issues with the indexing (envelope) corruption where the inbox disappears. We are going to Apple store tomorrow for further investigation. Any other info or help is appreciated. To us it sounds like a virus or bug in Mail.

After update to ios 7.0.2, duplicate emails downloading to iphone 4 from Verizon server

After Update to ios7.0.2, duplicate emails downloading to iphone 4 from Verizon server.

After reading other posts about icloud, checked phone setting. Had icloud off, but phone duplicated Verizon mail account under Accounts in iphonesettings , possibly resulting in duplicate downloads from same account.

Duplicate email to single contact after installing icloud

Since installing icloud, I am getting duplicate emails in my 'sent' box and 'all mail' box for gmail - but only for one contact. I have outlook 2007 but the duplicate email also shows in my gmail account when I log in directly without going thru Outlook. The contact is only in icloud once with a single email address. The contact is only receiving the email once.

It's Apple. Apple has taken to embracing the good old Microsoft paradigm - your OS knows what you need more than you do. Apple won't fix this 'bug' because it's not a bug to them.. it's intentional. If the last name field is left empty, then the field is filled in if possible using info from other fields. I put fist and last name in first name field because I think in terms of first names and I want contacts sorted by first names for my own quick reference. Apple doesn't like my way of thinking, so it has been incessantly trying to correct it for 4 years. Thanks Steve Jobs Jobs.

Time Machine/Capsule and Duplicate emails

I recently got a Time Capsule. Even more recently, I've started getting tons of duplicate emails -- emails that I've already read show up as unread (usually one or two, this morning 4 new copies). It makes me feel very popular to see that I have 315 new emails, but it's a pain to have to go back and re-delete them. Help?

This is happening every Thursday when TimeCapsule runs.
Do you mean you only do Time Machine backups once a week?
I would say that it's when TImeCapsule does it's weekly compressed file, though that is a shot in the wind.
There is no such thing as a "weekly compressed file" in Time Machine. All TM backups are the same. The only difference is, when "thinning" expired backups, TM keeps one per week for as long as there's room; the first of each day for a month; and all others are deleted after 24 hours.
Would love it if Apple would respond to this issue as it's a serious time waster and annoyance.
Apple does not respond to posts here. This is a user-to-user forum. If you want to contact Apple, try Canada technical support at (800) 263-3394.

TS3276 Getting duplicate emails including ones that I just trashed.

After rebuilding my mac mail I start getting duplicate emails including ones that I just trashed. How do I resolve this.?

10.5.8 & even 10.4.1 can talk to iCloud Mail, (no other syncing is available though), but iCloud is IMAP only, as far I know.
To be safe,
On Mail...
First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Once we have those backed up we can try deleting again, at least the POP account, trashing IMAP may either delete it on the Server too, or redo it on the computer.

How can i find and delete duplicate emails on my mac

I use Apple Mail, Gmail and a third party email on my few Apple devices (iMac and Macbook Air both running Mavericks and iPhone 4s running current version iOS).
I would like to sort through, locate and delete duplicate emails (from several misguided approaches to Rules, Mailboxes, Smart Mailboxes, etc.)

Hi,
Presuming the Post is about the Messages app and iMessages.
If you delete them they are gone or the Mac.
An iMessages arrives and is displayed in the App.
there is a setting in the Preferences > General section about Saving on Close.
The iMessages are also stored in the chat.db items (unless deleted) and this provides the "history" when you reconnect to a contact who is not currently on display in the main window.
In Mavericks Saved Chats and the chat.db items (there are three in total) are held in different places.
The app does not work like Mail where the emails can be left on the Server and "read" by other devices.
The iMessages are pushed to the devices that then accepts them.
After that the "sync" function ends (What you do with the iMessages on one device is not seen or changed on another)

Duplicate Emails - Outlook 2007

Hi
We had configured Pop account in Outlook 2007 and set email remove from server after receiving to outlook. Also using BlackBerry Torch Device email. There was no problem with duplicate emails because no email on the mail server. Working both fine
( Office Outlook and BB Torch)
Now we brought BlackBerry Z10 Device. Configured email account on it. If send email from sender first receive it on the BB device and when sync with Outlook all emails deleted from mail server. After deleting mail server it automatically delete from BB device.
In short we are in trouble in both side. If set delete email after receiving in outlook then unable to see on BB. If want to see all emails on BB need to keep leave copy in outlook and duplicate emails receive problem. it's duplicate email issue
is occur suddenly it may come after 2 months Or 6 months.
Is there any connection with size of pst file for duplicate emails? Is there connection with location of pst file ( C:\........ OR different)?
Please guide us for that we need to do.
Thanks & Regards,
Suhas

Hi,
Based on the description, if you receive emails on Outlook first, since the emails are removed from the server, you are not able to see the emails on your BlackBerry device. If you receive emails on your BlackBerry device first, you encounter the "Duplicate
emails" issue.
Is my understanding correct?
Please kindly detail what it means by "Duplicate emails", does it mean you receive two same messages on the BlackBerry device?
Try to re-setup the account on your BlackBerry device and test if you still get duplicate emails.
If your ISP provides IMAP protocol, we suggest you setup the account via IMAP, which keeps the emails synced on all of your devices.
For further support about your BlackBerry device, please contact BlackBerry support:

Yes, we can create standby control file, after backup.
What is your database version?
If you are using 11g version, then you can RMAN DUPLICATE command FROM ACTIVE DATABASE option.
This duplication is not backup-based duplication.
