Duplicate emails in inbox (AOL)

Is anyone else who uses AOL mail getting duplicate emails in their inbox on your iPhone? If you delete one of them, the message is gone from your inbox on AOL.

Myself, and there is another thread on this very same issue, "Why am I getting duplicate emails": http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1368304&tstart=0
So, it seems there is something rippling through the AOL service causing our email retrieval to hiccup.

Duplicate Emails in Inbox

I keep getting the same emails again & again in my inbox. My emails are being repopulated since yesterday even though I have been deleting them and emptying the trash. I can send & receive emails though. Please help how I can stop this from happening ? Thankyou.

I was having a similar issue, and noticed that somehow a duplicate account showed up in my accounts (with essentially all the same info, accessing the same mailbox on my computer).
I ended up having to back up my entire mail folder (in the User/Library), and deleted the offending account. I had to drag back the folder of the account that got deleted, as the "original" account needed all that message info and content, and now everything is fine.

TS3276 duplicate emails in inbox

I have 10+ copies of same email (dplicates) in all my email accounts, via appale mail app. email service provider only show one of each on their system. so apple mail must be doign something to duplicate. any ideas? thank you.

so apple mail must be doign something to duplicate.
No, Mail isn't doing anything to duplicate messages. You haven't given us any information to work with as far as what Apple products you're using, the type(s) of email accounts you have setup, or even if these messages are exact duplicates (in every way) of an email you already received, and if they all came from the same firm or person.
We need details in order to be able to provide a solution.

Getting Duplicate Emails in Inbox on POP account

OK, I've suddenly started getting duplicates every time Mail checks my mail server.
I remedied this about a week ago by changing the settings to "delete mail immediately" but that renders my Blackberry pretty much useless for this account. So, afte rI turned it back to "after one day" the problem went away.
NOw, it's back again.
Any suggestions as to the cause and how to stop it.
I'm a fairly savvy programmer and have no fear of the command line or editing

Sorry for the late reply. 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 weeks ago, with no changes on my end. Thanks for anything you can suggest!

Tell them to use "Plain Text" when sending you the email, not RTF. Or, get this:

Duplicate Email Messages Mail 4.3

Greetings,
I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.4 and using the built-in Mac Mail client 4.3. I subscribe to MobileMe and have my primary mail alias and second mail alias. I use server based rules to manage my inbox.
For the past few weeks, I've been getting duplicate email messages in my inbox.
I have googled this and most of the articles that come back are dated.
Has any one else experienced this?
It has been working fine for months.
I have tried rebuilding my mailbox and have not noticed a difference.
Thank-you,
Derrick

This problem just started-up for me, too. Same Mac mail client; Snow Leopard. I have no rules set. I have two imap accounts feeding the client; only one is misbehaving with the duplicate generation. Need a solution!

Sending Duplicate emails using Mail and mBox for mac

I have been sending duplicate emails inadvertantly recently. It seems it's when I use mBox for mac (registered copy) in Mail to use my Hotmail with IMAP.
I hadn't noticed it at first, but now I see everytime I send a mail I get 2 copies in my sent box. I can turn off the store sent messages on server option to fix it (but that's the whole point of having IMAP!!), or I can turn off mBox for mac and it also seems to work (but then I can't use IMAP!).    I've also tried on the same machine from gmail, and iCloud accounts (MobileMe), and I had no issue at all. I've also tried 2 different Hotmail accounts, and both of them send double messages every time I send.
I've searched for a loooooong time, and can't find anyone with a similar issue - but surely I'm not the only one? I think anyone still using a hotmail account will eventually install something like mBox for mac if they've gone Mac recently - as I have.
I checked the mail headers of the 2 mails, and they are quite different (masked where appropriate) -

I'm surprised I can't find anyone else with a similar issue. I've submitted a support ticket with mBox/fluent factory, but I'm still not convinced it's their issue, and possibly a Mail on Mac issue.
Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks for your help!

@ Kokola
Great staff!!! MBox Fluent Factory is very poor app.
I was having problem with duplicated sent emails and cleaning up my inbox, sent items and deleting emails. Try to contact them via email for over 3 months and never got a reply!
I just used the suggested configuration and my Entourage (email app for MAC) is working perfetcly. I can visualise all my online folders now!
Thank you so much!
mBox never addressed the issue and the duplicated emails reached new levels of annoyance but the good thing is that Hotmail and Outlook.com finally rolled out support for IMAP.
Incoming Mail Server: imap-mail.outlook.com
Outgoing Mail Server: smtp-mail.outlook.com
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/outlook/send-receive-from-app
No more duplication issues once you switch over, and no need for a third party (mBox)software to bridge the missing feature gap.

Duplicate emails in Mailboxes

Hi Macxperts,
In my MacMail I have set up 2 gmail accounts. I recieve emails in both accounts, but there is also an Inbox folder created automatically. So any new mail appears in the inbox folder as well as in the "all mails" folder of the gmail account. Also, deleting from one folder does not delete from the other. I have to delete it from both folders. Basically it seems that there are 2 copies. Also, the inbox folder is not listed in the gmail account folder. I want the inbox folder inside the gmail account and get rid of duplicate emails.
Any clues?
Thanks.

All Mail is a Gmail folder that keeps everything, even if you delete it.
You can disable that folder from showing on IMAP and also tell Google to delete the email you delete by going to the Gmail web interface settings.

Duplicate emails in Mail with gmail

Hi, I keep getting multiple duplicate emails in my inbox. Even the one's I've deleted keep coming back. They appear across my folders and it's really frustrating as I'm unable to stop it. I've checked the discussions but cannot see an obvious solution (unless I'm looking in the wrong place) other than to disable my POP account in gmail settings, which I've done. Can anyone offer any help please?

Duplicate email notifications in using extended notification

Thank you for your help.

If you're on ECC 5.0 or higher - check this blog out

If you're on something lower than ECC 5.0 -
Search SDN for notes on RSWUWFML2 - that's a SAP program that you could use to send workitem to outlook email inbox.
Hopes this help.

Program to find duplicate emails

Anyone have a suggestion to find and eliminate duplicate emails? My Mail has thousands of them, scattered in folders including my inbox, that I just discovered as I was doing some filing (no joke, I have over 60K emails--I have to retain them for work).

The trouble with maxbulkmailer is that it a lot harder to use than Mail. Talk about unintuitive!
Our server allows us to send 99 emails/hour. Once a week we send an email to about 500 on our email list. It would be easy to put them in groups of 99 in Address Book, then send out one group each hour if we were around that long. But we aren't in the office that much. An easy fix in Mail would be something that would allow you to designate the time when an email should be sent. Then we could automatically send a different group each hour. Could this be done in Applescript?

Duplicate messages to inbox on reply

Why do I receive a duplicate message in my Style inbox when replying? This only happens when I reply from my PC not the handheld. It only happens when replying - not forwarding. I have checked all the settings on Outlook and I don't see anything that would create this problem or solve it. My IT persons says it's a BB problem and my carrier says it's an Outlook problem

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
You didn't say what email service this is for...and that matters a great deal. So, here are some KBs that might apply...you will have to dig through them for those that match your situation:
KB13891BlackBerry smartphone users receive duplicate email messages after an enterprise activation process
KB13528Duplicate email messages are received on the BlackBerry smartphone
KB13587Duplicate email messages are received from a Yahoo! Mail account on the BlackBerry smartphone
KB10332Duplicate sent email message arrives on the BlackBerry smartphone when sent using an integrated Gmail account
KB11127Duplicate sent email messages are delivered to the BlackBerry smartphone when using Auto BCC
KB05477Duplicate sent items appear on the BlackBerry device
While some of those apply to BES, if you are indeed on BES, then your BES admins really should be assisting.
Good luck!

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

Is there a program that can delete duplicate emails

I was doing a sync on my MBP and got panic when all my emails in my inbox disappeared. I quickly jumped on my iMac and made a duplicate copy of my inbox only to have it copy all of them back into my inbox. Short of the long I now have 11,000 duplicate emails in my inbox. Any suggestions how to get rid of the duplicates without manually going through 11,000 emails?

"11,000 duplicate emails in my inbox."
*Good grief!*
Check over on VersionTracker, MacUpdate and/or do a Google search.
Good luck!

Hello Copernico:
I have the same problem and none of the fixes have worked for me, including preventing "Nap app" in Outlook. Let me know if you come across a solution, and I will do the same.
