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?

  • How to remove duplicate emails in Mail

    Does anyone know if a good app that works in Lion that will help me remove duplicate emails in Mail?  There are some options on the web that I've found but they don't seem to work with Lion.

    I have found a very satisfactory solution to eliminating my duplicates in Apple Mail, which is to stop using it and switch to Thunderbird.
    There's lots that I like better in Apple Mail, but Thunderbird is light-years more flexible in managing your email than is Apple Mail, because Thunderbird is an open platform with excellent Add-ons available, which include the nifty Remove Duplicate Messages: http://bit.ly/tbird-dups. It is stupid that Apple Mail hides duplicate messages in the background & won't allow users to search and destroy them. Frustrating!
    As a prologue to that, you need the TB import export Add-on: http://bit.ly/tbirdimportexport
    Managing my mail locally on my Mac was a huge project for me, involving integrating tens of thousands of emails. Mail was  from gmail, yahoo, and many years of Outlook PST files.
    Now that the project is complete, I'm very happy with Thunderbird to manage my email archives. Though I actually would prefer the Lion Apple Mail interface for day to day use, it just isn't flexible enough.

  • HT5361 Is there a way to find and erase duplicate emails in mail.app?

    Is there a way to find and erase duplicate emails in mail.app?

    Mail.app does not have this possiblility acc. to Apple. There are Scripts but not provided by Apple.
    A solution can be to use third party software but I prefer Apples own software so have to wait until there is an update.

  • 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.

  • Mail with Gmail issue

    I could not seem to find any relatable info on the problem I am experiencing... See below
    I am using Leopard Mail with my Gmail account via IMAP. Sometimes, when receiving a message, it will only show up in the gmail "All Mail" folder, and never make it to the gmail "inbox". It seems to be very intermittent. However, if I send an email to a mailing list, with the recipients in the BCC field, ANY reply made to my message will only show up in the "All Mail" folder. That part I can re-create.
    Any ideas?

    I have, even searched them in mail.. it is just going to the "All Mail" folder, no where else... I have disabled all rules as well..

  • 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!

  • Stop duplicate emails in Mail

    How do I stop getting duplicate emails in my sent and draft folders of Mail?  When I send or save an email to drafts it replicates the email mutiple times (sometimes as many as 20 times) in the respective folder.  This only happens on my Mac Book Pro and not my Mac Pro.
    Thanks for the help!!

    Hmm. No one answered this. But if anyone else has problems with Mobile Me and Mail then go to:

  • Email sync issue with Gmail

    I have my gmail account set up on my blackberry and it seems to sync fine when I go from my curve to the gmail account. In other words, id I delete a message on my BB, it is removed from Gmail also. However, it I delete the message in reverse, from gmail, my BB does not seem to sync with that change. The message remains on the BB. I did have to put an email filter on for Gmail because I was getting duplicates of every email I sent. Dont know if this might be preventing it from syncing? 

    That is the way all integrated accounts work - only one-way, from the BlackBerry to the email account. So you device is working as expected.

  • IPad2, email app sync with Gmail - spells my name wrong?

    I set up default mail app on iPad2 to sync with Gmail, and the app auto-spells my name wrong.
    So every time I send an email via that app, it indicates the email came from "Scram"...but it's supposed to be "Schram".  I can only assume this is some kind of auto correct funtion.
    I've looked all through my Gmail account, nothing is incorrect there.  I don't see anywhere that I can change this.
    Any thoughts?

    My co-worker fixed this issue for me this morning in under a minute.  Go to Settings> Mail, Contacts, Calendars> Gmail (should be at the top under Accounts heading)> Click on your email address in the Account bar> This takes you to Gmail Account Information> Check that your name is spelled correctly in the Name bar.
    I hope this works for you!  Let me know!

  • Transferring old emails in Mail to gmail

    Hi,
    I have just started using gmail and would like to transfer all the messages I have in my Mail app from a different email account into my gmail account. Does anyone know a way of doing this? Or does anyone know if this is not possible?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    867Mhz Powerbook Mac OS X (10.3.7)

    Hi Steve,
    The best most complete method would be to use Migration Assistant to Migrate everything, but if they're networked with File Sharing enabled on the older one, then connect using the G5's username & Password, then on the new Mac use Mail>File>Import Mailboxes>Apple Mail...

  • Can't sync Apple Mail with Gmail and Yahoo

    Hi all, I really hope you can help. I have e-mail accounts with Gmail and Yahoo, and I'd really like to set either or both of these up in Apple Mail, primarily so that it will be really quick and easy to send people photos from my iPhoto library.
    I've put in the correct info and I've enabled POP and IMAP in my Gmail settings, but when I try and set up it just says "checking connection to server [email protected]" for ages and doesn't acheive anything. When I did somehow manage to set it up briefly, I tried sending a message and it just dissapeared when I pressed send, didn't appear in my sent mail either in Gmail or in Apple Mail, and was not delivered.
    Any ideas would be appreciated. I'm really frustrated that something that should be so simple could be such a pain - setting up e-mail on my iPhone took seconds and works perfectly! Thanks,
    Malinna

  • Iphone Mail with Gmail

    Hello,
    I just received my Iphone and managed to set up my gmail Imap account quickly and efficiently, it works beautifully.
    The problem is I have another alias on the same account and I would like to add it in.
    I was told that in the settings page I could go to email address and put a comma in plus the alias and it would all work... it doesnt.
    There is no comma option in the email address box for the account.
    Can someone help with this? Am I adding it to the wrong box?
    In an idea world I would like to be able to choose whether I send with the alias or the main address within mail without having to add a new account
    Thanks in advance
    Alex

    On iOS, there is no local configuration for the Sent Mail. for Gmail, it automatically goes to the Sent Mail folder. But Sent Mail only shows up when you tap Gmail under the Account setings, not in Inboxes. For OSX, however, you may be able to configure a designated folder (that can be either on the local machine or on the account server). To be honest, I can't recall where that configuration is, and do not have the MBP in front of me. This article may help (or provide links to instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5361

  • Mac Mail stops recieveing mail with Gmail Accounts and Google Apps

    Hi,
    We're having some chronic issues with our corporate Google Apps / Gmail service when used with Mac Mail. Regardless of the OSX version... when it's not one thing it's another. It's nice to see that 10.9.4 finally correctly inserts the proper, full username in the SMTP field for Google Apps users.
    We still have some problems where users stop receiving mail silently in the middle of their workday. It wouldn't be such an issue, except that Mac Mail pretends nothing is wrong and suddenly the person realizes they are 3 hours behind on their emails. Magically, quitting and re-opening mail resolves the issue. Even more disturbing, is this article on apple support which lists this stupidity as the official workaround
    OS X: New email messages not received until Mail is quit and reopened
    I suppose one could argue that Outlook 2011's integration with gmail accounts is even worse. There's something to be said about "AirMail" being the #2 app in all the appstore currently. Clearly Apple and Google aren't putting their best foot forward to make this work.
    I guess what I'm looking for is something concrete other than "Restart Mail to get mail coming in again". Is there some workaround to see the connection status to see if something is stalled?

    Googles version of an IMAP system works poorly with most clients. If you are going to use it then choosing a client that works the way Google wants them too is a wise course.
    Of that breed MailPlane is easily the best, AirMail is a solid second.

  • How do I keep duplicate messages in Mail and Gmail?

    For the past few years messages would appear in both my Mail and Gmail inboxes.  If I deleted a message in Gmail, the duplicate would REMAIN in Mail. Therefore, I could keep some messages in my gmail account that pertained to work and delete their duplicates in Mail (since I wouldn't need them at home). Likewise, I could keep some messages organized in my Mail folders and delete their counterparts in the Gmail account.
    At some point I must've downloaded an update or something because the accounts are now totally synced.  If I delete a message in my Gmail inbox (or even move it to a Gmail folder), it vanishes from my Mail inbox.
    I know this is how most people like these programs to work together, but is there a way to revert it back to the way it was?  I tried toggling off POP, then testing it (didn't work).  Then I toggled off IMAP (still didn't work).  Then I toggled both of them off (still didn't work).  My Mail account is listed as IMAP for what it's worth.
