Duplicate emails being received

Years back I signed up for mac.com emal address and seldom used it. I recall vaguely being able to forward a copy to my cablevision email account, a 'optonline.net' account. I can't remember what I did but now I'm using my mac.com email regularly, with variations under me.com and icloud.com. And I like to stop getting copies of the same email being sent to my optonline.net.
But I can't figure out how to stop this....any ideas?
Thanks.

Howdy dmao,
With Mail you can forward email with rules so check your Mail > Preferences > Rules and see if you have one setup.
Mail (Yosemite): Use rules to manage your inbox
If not, iCloud can also automatically forward emails.
iCloud: Forward all messages automatically
See if either of those are forwarding your email.
Best regards,
Nubz

My sent emails being received unsecure

Never new this was happening until most recently. When people are receiving my emails that have attachments, which are mostly being received using MS Outlook, the email is not showing up in typical format. There is this grey bar saying, "Click here to turn on links. .... Links are turned off in this message".
Such as, the words of the attachment is now showing up as part of the body of the email, instead there is an internet explorer icon that if you click on it, it take you to a web page that open up and show the words of the attachement; also, my signature is cutup and my company logo is not displayed, it is an attachment. Totally confused????

Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

Why are my emails being received in triplicate?

For some reason a couple of days ago I suddenly started receiving all my emails in triplicate? Help!!!
Also on the left under all my folders it says Popstat1 Popstat 2 and so forth. Any suggestions will be gratefully received. Thank you Heath

Your 'popstate.dat' file keeps a record of what it has downloaded, so that when it connects with the server and looks in the server Inbox, it should not download anything that was previously downloaded.
In your case, you have kept old previously downloaded mail in the server Inbox and the confused popstate.dat is seeing them as needing to be downloaded.
This means that the 'popstate,dat' file must be corrupted - gone awol - because it keeps downloading previously downloaded emails.
You need to access your Profile Folders and delete the 'popstate.dat' file.
Profile Folders are hidden folders.
make hidden files and folders visible:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
access Profile Folder:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Thunderbird
In thunderbird:
* Help > Troubleshooting Information
* click on 'Show Folder'
* a new window opens showing your Profile Folder.
* Close Thunderbird now - this is important
* Click on 'Mail' folder
* click on 'mail account name'
* look for 'popstate.dat' file and delete it.
if you have other files - Popstat1 Popstat 2 - delete them as well.
* close the window.
* Open Thunderbird.
What will this do?
When Thunderbird restarts, it will create a new 'popstate.dat' file. The downside is this. As it has no knowledge of what has been downloaded, it will download everything that is on the server Inbox, but only once.
The good thing is this. This should fix the popstate.dat file and prevent further downloads of previously downloaded mail.
You will then need to delete any duplicates that were previously downloaded. There is an addon that you could use to help with duplicates.

Email being received but not sent

all of a sudden, my email stops sending (yet still receives). i get the following error message
"This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
Verify that you have addressed this message correctly. Check your SMTP server settings in Mail Preferences and verify any advanced settings with your system administrator."
my email provider claims this is an Apple issue - having deleted and recreated email accounts
the provider is blueyonder.co.uk
ive tried different ports but they dont work either.

How do you send them, presumably if you are complaining that they send OK with webmail you are using an email client, if so which one?
What operating system does your computer use?
Which email system are you on. Is it BTYahoo or BTMail? If you are not sure use this link.

Repeated emails being received

When I am logged in MS Outlook on my laptop and my Blackberry Q10 is nearby if I receive an e-mail in Outlook the same email arrives on my BB repeating itself until I disconnect from MS Outlook in my laptop. Does anyone know how to correct this repeated delivery of email messages?

Hi,
First, I would like to confirm the following questions:
1. Does the issue occur on certain user or several users in your Exchange environment?
2. Are the problematic messages from certain sender or each sender?
At this stage, please run Message Tracking tool and check whether the missing email can be detected. Also, please run ExBPA and scan the whole system.
Thanks.

What's going on and how can i fix it?

There's not a lot you can do about it.

Duplicate emails being sent, how to stop?

Hello -
I am running Mac OS X Server 10.3.9. We have been using mail and the mailman mailing lists for some time. All of a sudden, a user posted a message to one of the mailman groups (with about 140 members) and many of them have received 10-20 copies of the message. (not every user has recieved multiple copies)
How can I track down what is stuck and get rid of it. I'm not sure where to find the message queues, or what steps to take.
Thanks for any help,
Eric

Cool -
Thanks for the help. I did the mailq option, looks like there are 7 things, I've pasted the output. Maybe you could tell me what it means, or If I have any messages pending. At this point, I'd just like to clear the slate and have nothing pending.
Thanks again for your help.
Eric

Issue with certain email being received with wrong name

Hi- From time to time I've seen this happen where an email will come in and the 'from' name is different from the email address. Usually I find the problem with this is in the address book as the record with that email had a wrong name, but that's not the case.
Is it possible there's something odd with the cache in that a wrong name became associated with an email address? I checked with the email host and the sending email's account is setup correctly, so the issue is somewhere with the recipient.
Any idea what's going on?

User is reporting duplicate emails being resent out.

I am not totally sure this is related to his iPhone, but it appears this might be the case. The user has Entourage on his Mac and an iPhone 3GS with OS 4.02 connected to an exchange 2007 sp1 server. He noticed this has happened several times where his mail account would re-send out randoms emails. What could be the cause of this??

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.

Flood of duplicate ems being received

Hi,
I recently went through a complete system reinstall to hopefully improve my Internet connectivity. I'm OS 10.4.11 on a dual 2.7 GHz PowerPc G5. My MAIL program is Version 2.1.3 (753.1) and SAFARI is Version 3.1.2 (4525.22).
The reason I went to this extreme (the rebuild) was that my browser speed was VERY slow (POP account using RoadRunner). After the rebuild, it was indeed much faster in loading for a few daze, then it slowed down again. NOW, I've suddenly begun to get many multiple em; not of every em but a total of 5 separate ones to date with each one producing now in the hundreds of duplicates? I've even gone to my RoadRunner Webmail and deleted everything there -- which suggests it's a problem in my MAIL program.
I wish I could reinstall only my MAIL and SAFARI programs and am wondering if this is possible? Any other insight re the problem would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks! Scott Foster, Honolulu

Hi dagooche, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I wish I could reinstall only my MAIL and SAFARI programs and am wondering if this is possible?
Yes. Custom installs in Mac OS X 10.4...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301229
"Here's a list of all the custom installation options available with Optional Installs.mpkg:
* Applications
o Address Book 4.0
o iCal 2.0
o iChat 3.0
o iTunes 4.7.1
o Mail 2.0
o Oxford Dictionaries
o Safari 2.0
o X11"
Other suggestions...
First I'd backup your whole Mail folder, by right clicking on it in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
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... only the plist is separate.
Try dragging this file to the desktop in case we need to put it back later, then logout/in...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
(May or may not require you to setup your account(s) again.)
Quit Mail, then In your home folder, try moving this +folder & file+ to the Desktop then reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail
Move to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
You can always move them back if it doesn't help.
Then... Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply.
Very first thing though.... I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files!
Disconnect the USB cable from any UPS so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

Emails being received up to seven times

I've been using personal pop3 email on my Blackberry 8520 without any problems then suddenly I'm seeing the same email arrive more than once in my Blackberry inbox. This started just a few days ago.   Sometimes an email will arrive just twice but sometimes up to SEVEN times each separated by three to six minutes. Picking up emails with my outlook client there is only ever one email.
I deleted my email from the Blackberry and recreated it - but with no success. It does not affect all emails either. Two emails arrived overnight - one is duplicated, one is not.
Has anyone any ideas where the problem lies?   It is driving me nuts!

Yes, strange. There's not much which you can do on your end, it sounds as if the email server is, for some reason, marking that/those emails as "new" again and therefore the RIM servers are "pushing" those emails over again to your device. It's probably just a glitch and hopefully will just resolve itself.
Is this a personal BIS account or corporate BES account provided by your employer?
If it continues for many more days, I would call your carrier tech support and discuss this issue and have then escalate the issue to RIM level tech support.

Duplicate emails SENT

I see other posts about duplicate emails being received on their phones, I have the opposite problem - my recipients get 2 copies of every email I send from my phone.
I use the native app, it's a Hotmail account. The email is identical - time-stamped the same. There is only one copy in the Sent folder on the phone. This is the default account on the phone.
I have an S3 and this seems to have started with the recent push system push from Verizon that I installed in early May. Device is on Android 4.3.
Any ideas how I can stop this as it's very irritating to my recipients and costly against my data plan (please read that Verizon).

I reinstalled the account and recipients are still getting duplicate emails. If I use a PC (Outlook or webmail) only one email is sent. I see form a number of other Android forums that this may be due to the 4.3 push. Which was around the time this started to happen.
I've installed the Outlook app to see if that makes a difference over the native app, and only one email is sent. So, although I've found a resolution, I'd be interested in knowing if Verizon will be pushing out Kitkat to the S3 and when? I only recently switched to the S3 about 6 months ago so cannot upgrade to the S5 anytime soon. There are other issues reported with Jellybean I'd rather not suffer from.

Mail 6.2 sending duplicate emails

Question: How to stop duplicate emails being sent from Mail 6.2 connected to an imap exchange server?
Thanks.

Thanks, Cleg. I checked this out and did what he suggested. The only thing is my interface seems a little different, possibly newer?
I didn't have priority inbox selected, just classic and thought I better turn priority inbox on in order to get my labels tab looking like his so I could duplicate it. However even with the priority inbox selected my labels tab looks different-I might be on a newer version of gmail not sure. Either way, I unchecked and checked everything he had, attempting to duplicate his settings. We'll see if this works!

Mail suddenly not being received from server. The ISP tells me there's nothing wrong at his end. I can see emails on the server if I look up WebMail; they don't come into Mail. I haven't changed anything lately.

Mail suddenly not being received from server. The ISP tells me there's nothing wrong at his end. I can see emails on the server if I look up WebMail; they don't come into Mail. I haven't changed anything lately. The incoming server details haven't changed; the Connection Doctor shows the accounts are connected; I've turned everything off including the modern. Have exhausted my limited knowledge. Anyone with something similar?

I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

Email notifications not being received

Email notifications are not being received every time a customers submits data. We stopped receiving notifications after the email came about shutting down the service. We have a half dozen forms live on the web and none of them are sending out notifications. One example is located at Online Complaint | ORCAA. Nothing has changed from the backend and both email addresses that should receive notifications are verified.
I submitted data to the form and received a notification, but not the 2 email addresses that are listed on the FormsCentral backend. The Adobe domain is whitelisted with GApps.
Thoughts?

I've tested your form a bit and it seems that email receipts are working. For me to test email notifications I would need to be a co-author. If you can add me to one of the problem forms I will investigate further and let you know what I find.
