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.

Remove duplicate emails and mailboxes

I am moving emails from an old Mac to our new MacBook Pro. My wife has a LOT of mailboxes. It seems to me that when she imported her emails onto our old Mac, from an even older Mac, that mailboxes got duplicated. I think there are mailboxes and folders (with different names) that actually contain the same emails (or mostly the same) as other mailboxes and folders.
I've read some of the threads on the Apple Support Communities. I understand there is a script for finding duplicate emails. But will this only find duplicates within the same mailbox? I don't have this problem. I need to find duplicate mailboxes and duplicate emails within different mailboxes.
I am using Lion and Mail.
Thanks for any help
Mark

Same problem, only one of four accounts (POP) acts this way, and is reloading, and re-reloading, and re-re-re (you get the picture) mail from this account going back to June 07. All marked unread,up to almost 2k of these so far. Running OSX.4.10, dual 2ghz Powermac, 4gb ram, no recently added software.
Thanks!

Receiving Duplicate emails on shared Mailbox

We are using Exchange Server 2007 and outlook client is Outlook 2010.
We are not using PST concepts(that is mails downloaded to local copy and remove from the Server).
one of the shared mailbox is accessed by many people and they are receiving duplicate emails frequently on the shared mailbox.
Is there any solution to stop receiving duplicate email.

Hi,
Agree with Willard. Please check if these duplicate messages have the same Message ID.
If they are sent separately, we can't stop this. If they have the same Message ID, please check whether there is corrupted rules in Outlook.
Besides, please check if there is any third party add-ins from Outlook user side. If the shared mailbox is accessed by 5 users, then we need to disable add-ins on these 5 users' Outlook client.
Best regards,

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 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!

Duplicate emails in WebAccess

Hey All,
Got a weird thing happening here.
System:
OESNW running GW 703 hp3
Problem:
I have one user who, when he logs in to webaccess, sees duplicate emails from some, not all senders. It doesn't happen consistently to the same senders either.
We tried deleting the duplicates, but it deletes the other as well.
The duplicates don't show up using the client and a GWCheck fixed up some issues with his mailbox, but now shows no problems found.
Has anyone seen this before/got a clue why this could be occurring in WebAccess?
Thanks
Dave

The only thing I can think of is that there is some bizarre corruption in the user's database. Have you ever dropped a user from the guard? If so, I would do that and see if you can duplicate the issue with the new database. If it cannot be duplicated then you switch back to the original database and archive everything over to the new one. If it does not work, just rename back to the original and we can go from there.
Just let me know if you are unfamiliar with how to do what I just described and I can send you more detail.

Blank duplicate emails in search

When I do a search in iMail I get duplicate emails under the original, which have the same from, subject, date received details, but which have no mailbox and are entirely empty. I can't understand where these are coming from. They do not appear in my inbox, or any other mailboxes, only when I do a search. Does anyone know how I can get rid of these?
Thanks, Dan

If anyone stumbles across this and has the same issue, delete the Envelope Index, then restart mail. Works like a treat.

Outlook sends duplicate emails

Some users may have encounter the issue that Outlook sends duplicate emails to the recipients, this can be really frustrating as the
causes can be varied so that it’s really hard to troubleshoot . In this article, some most common causes will be introduced, which helps us troubleshoot this kind of
issue.
Send emails on Web first
Before we determine whether it is a server side issue or Outlook client side issue, please logon the webmail, or OWA for Exchange Accounts, send some test emails to have
the recipients to check again whether they receive duplicate emails. If the recipients don’t receive duplicate emails, we can tell it is probably an Outlook client issue.
Anti-Virus program
As some Anti-Virus programs may have been integrated with Outlook to keep the users from spams and viruses, it may also bring some issues sometimes. The program may also scan the outgoing emails and bring troubles, such as making the emails sent multiple
times.
Contact the program provider to know how to disable the integration with Outlook, and exit the Anti-Virus program temporarily, send test emails to see the result.
Similar to Anti-Virus program integration, it can be some add-ins, we can run Outlook in Safe Mode as well:
Run -> Type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box -> OK.
If the issue is gone when Outlook is running in Safe Mode, disabling the add-ins which may fix the
problem.
Send/Receive interval conflict
In Outlook we can set an interval according to which Outlook performs a Send/Receive task. Imagine there is an email with a large attachment needs to send, the sending process starts in the first Send/Receive task, but doesn’t complete when the second Send/Receive
starts. Then Outlook may try to send the email again during the second Send/Receive task, which ends up with two same emails in the recipient’s Inbox.
In Outlook 2013, under SEND / RECEIVE tab, click Send/Receive Groups -> Define Send/Receive Groups. We can then see the window below:
The default interval is 30 minutes, if you think it’s too long you can make it shorter. My suggestion is not to set the interval too short, it should be at least 10 minutes, especially when you have multiple accounts setup in Outlook and always need to send
emails with attachments.
Server Timeouts
This is particular for IMAP and POP accounts. When we have a slow Internet or the latency is high, Outlook may not get response from the Server in time, thus Outlook considers the connection to the server is lost, by default, after 1 minute.
However, if the message has actually been sent in the bad Internet condition, but Outlook doesn’t get a response from the server, it may still try to submit the message in the Outbox in the next Send/Receive task.
We can increase the Server Timeouts to 2 or 3 minutes in this scenario, it will be more probably that Outlook can get the correct response from the server if the message is sent.
For IMAP:
For POP:
IMAP Sent Items options
This is only for IMAP accounts. The recipient may not receive duplicate emails but the sender gets duplicate emails in the Sent Items folder.
In Outlook, there are options for us to decide to save the sent items or not for IMAP accounts.
Outlook 2010:
Outlook 2013:
The IMAP account provider may also save a copy on the Server, if you have configured to save a copy in Outlook, this may result in duplicate. In Outlook 2010, select “Do not save copies of sent items” under Sent Items tab; In Outlook 2013, check “Do not
save copies of sent items” under Advanced tab. Then send test emails to check the result.
Another thing to check is under FILE tab -> Options -> Mail -> Save messages -> Save copies of messages in the Sent Items folder, we can uncheck this option to see the result. What we should note is it’s a global option that applies to all accounts.
If your provider doesn’t save emails on the server, it’s better not to uncheck this setting.
To know if the provider saves the sent emails on the server, contact them or check the webmail settings.
If you have anything to add or any feedback, feel free to let me know.

Lots of duplicate emails found - best, fastest & safest way locate & delete

Hi all
I have recently had cause to go back into some mailboxes ( old emails have been reappearing !! ) and found that a lot of my mail has several duplicates which are bloating the mailbox on me and local.
Does anyone know of a safe and quick way to locate duplicate emails and then delete them?
Any help appreciated.
Rgds
Kev
Mail is version 4.5

Please keep discussion of this problem in the other topic. There would be insufficient info here for anyone to properly comment with the info in the other topic.
With an IMAP account, as MobileMe is, the Inbox and other folders reside on the server. Anything local is merely meant to be some temporary copy, but they could be the source of the behavior your are experiencing. You need to check the server to see if the Inbox there has in fact been bloated by duplicate messages.

How to delete the duplicate email address in BP master data

Hi,
When you get an email ids from the third party vendor and you are loading into CRM BP master data. how to delete the duplicate email address already exits in the system. In CRM you can create the same BP with different id. I would like to know how to delete the email address during importing email addresses from the third party tool.
During the campaign you are sending email to all your customers, when the customer want to unsubscibe the email address from your list, how to unsubcribe the email address and how to updat the BP master data.
If you are sending the email to customer, you are using html or simple text, if the customer wants only html or simple text, how you to specify in the system?
thanks,
arul

Hello Arul,
welcome to the SDN CRM Development forum.
1. I think you should clear the data with duplicate E-Mail adresses in the external tool.
2. Unsubscription could be done by a Marketing Attribute which could be set by using a Target Group which is created by Campaign Automation. Have a look at this Toppic. There is also a Best Practice avaliable at http://help.sap.com/bp_crmv340/CRM_DE/index.htm.
3. Also HTML or Simple text can be mained in a Marketing Attribute. You have to use different Mail Forms to which are sent to different Target groups.

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:
