Duplicate listing of same email in Inbox

I have an intermittent issue of having email info duplicated in my inbox (one email with two identical listings). When this occurs, clicking on one listing, then the second, sets up a red highlight on the listing not chosen. The duplicate listing problem will appear, then disappear over time, only to return. Not all items on the inbox list are involved.
I have re-installed the OS (10.6.3) and applied the 10.6.6 Combo
The computer is an MBP 15" Intel Core 2 Duo about 4 years old.
If I delete one, both disappear.
I have searched the forums and found issues involving MobileMe, but I haven't found the specific issue I face.

Jim, I have the identical problem and you will see my 'Question' just above yours under the name of 'Kananaskis'. There is another user who also had the identical problem and she references it as 'looping'. Hers was major.
I have consulted with a professional Mac person and he says its the ISP. They have spent hours trying to resolve the problem and now claim it is MacMailer version 4.4. However, I have gone through all my settings and will do a major logging of the e-mails that come in duplicate. Lately, it has been intermittent whereas for 2 weeks it was consistent. Mostly the same person's e-mailing me. However, the ISP's support e-mails have come in duplicate as well.
It looks like between the two of us we have to find out if it is the MacMailer program or our servers. I'm on satellite in Ontario, Canada.
I shall check the Forum to see if others respond to our postings. Mine's be up since February 9th.
Let's hope this inconvenience can be resolved.

Duplicate copies of read email in Inbox

Saw some similar issues in the discussion archives, but nothing quite like this, so I'm looking for help.
Whenever I start Mail -- or when clicking from another Mail folder to my Inbox -- four identical duplicate copies of an email appear. (Don't think it's important, but the message is a cannot-deliver-message email from a postmaster account).
I can delete these emails (and they stay in the Mail trash), but the next time I click on my Inbox, they're back. They're not coming from my POP server -- I don't leave messages there, and this happens even if Mail is offline.
I don't see how any of my Mail rules could be causing this.
Any other suggestions? Please??!?

Make sure first that the messages have indeed been removed from the server. Choose Get Info (⌘I) from the Action menu (gear icon) located below the mailboxes list in the main Mail window. Does Mail display there the messages that keep reappearing?
If the messages have been removed from the server, you may be able to get rid of them in Mail doing Edit > Cut (⌘X).

How do I stop mail from looping the same emails into inbox?

How do I stop mail from looping the same emails into the inbox over and over again? It does the same thing with deleted messages that keep showing up again and again in multiples even after deleting them. I have made sure my server settings in all email accounts are set to delete immediately once I delete them on my MacBook Pro/IPhone. This issue has severely compromised the efficiency of Mail on my MacBook. Thanks for any help you're able to give me.

I have tried that but it does not fix the problem.
The "card" group is not a previous recipient.
Although not available for editing in Contacts, it is a valid group showing up in the "To" field of Messages, Mail, or any app using the AddressBook.
Its associated file is automatically created in:
~/Library/ApplicationSupport/AddressBook/Sources/<hexaFolder>/MetaData/<hexa>ABG roup.abcdg
This is why it also shows up in the Spotlight results...
If I manually remove this file, it gets recreated...
If I turn off the syncing through iCloud, the entry gets deleted. If I turn it up, it comes back!

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.

I took my iMac to be fixed and when i got it back, mail was not set up. I called Apple Support and they helped me set up mail. Then the emails went to trash on the iMac and on the MacBook Pro (same emails). There are no numbers by the 'inbox' to tell how

I took my iMac to be fixed and when I got it back, mail was not set, so I called Apple and they helped me set up mail. Now the new mail goes to trash and there is no number by the 'inbox' to tell me how many new messages I have. I cannot save a draft to 'drafts.' There is a large number by 'trash' (I think all mail went to trash - including drafts). When I send myself an emai, it goes to trash also. This is on both my iMac (the one taken in) and my MacBook Pro (same emails) which was not taken in.
I went to 'rules' but have no idea what to do there. There are no rules in the rule box. When I click 'add rule' it puts 'rule 1' in the rule box, but since that was not there when I took it in, I delete it to have an empty rule box.
Can someone pleasehelp me. I am completely stupid with all this. Do not under stand what is suppose to be set up in 'rules.'
Thank you so much,
Arudi

Now new mail is coming to both computer's inboxes but there is no number on the stamp icon on dock to show number of emails on the iMac. Nor is there a number by either email address under MAILBOXES/inbox (sidebar) on the iMac. This number is showing on MacBook Pro.
I also can save drafts now on both computers.
Seems the Pro is fixed and the iMac is only missing the numbers on dock icon and by addresses in inbox.
Now that the problem is less, I feel i am wasting your time but will continue so maybe I can get those numbers back.
Two emails > AT&T email and gmail.
Apple's Mail program for email - yes, and gmail.
IMAP for both accounts.
Did not change mail configuration on MacBook.
The iMac and MacBook Pro have the same mail configuration except in Accounts/mailbox behaviours/store draft messages on the server was not marked on MacBook > it is now.
'Store junk messages on the server' was marked on one computer for gmail, but is unmarked on both now.
On the iMac, Accounts/Accounts info/Outgoing mail for gmail is smtpgmail.
On the MacBook Pro for gmail it is smpt.gmail.com (plus) my email address.
Rules/Add rule window, on the MacBook third line is 'Any Recipient', on the iMac third line is 'From."
The last box on that line has my email address on the MacBook.
The last box on that line has the last address I sent an emil to (last night), on the iMac.
On the last line on iMac, no box was selicted for 'to mailbox' > I choose 'inbox' because it is on the MacBook Pro.
Now I have a Rule #1 and am not sure I should have because there was no rules marked when I took the computer in.
Thank you. I relized I had done the labeling wrong when so much of my question appeared twice and no one else's did. I know how to do it now.
Thank you so much,
Arudi

Why does the content of my emails not show on the main Mail page but does in the Inbox list of all emails?

Why does the content of my emails not show on the main Mail page but does in the Inbox list of all emails?

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

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.

Inbox filling up with the same emails

My Inbox fills up many times a day with the same emails that It's already imported. I've trashed these new imports but it doesn't matter. Should I trash the plist? But will that lose my saved mail? The only thing that stops this temporarily is if I go to the server and trash the emails there. But then as I get new emails it starts doing the multiple imports again.

Hi Dennis,
Sorry I don't have much to offer in the line of troubleshooting your problem but wanted to let you know that the gold coloring of the email subject lines just indicates that is being marked as "junk" mail.
It might help those helping you to post a screen shot or two of your Preferences Settings for Junk Mail tab for Mail.app including your advanced settings for the Junk Mail tab. If not if you could let those of us helping to know exactly what you have ticked etc. under those settings. Be careful not to include personal info in the shots or posting of settings.
Also, do you have many GB's of emails stored in your mailboxes? Overstuffed mailboxes can cause many problems with mail but I have never heard of it affecting multiple copies of emails being downloaded to your account. I might also suspect that fact that you have 16 different accounts setup might be the cause of some corruption somewhere causing this anomaly with your mail downloading in that fashion.

I have iphone 5c. Having email problem. Does not delete emails showing in inbox from date 8/27 thru 9/23. When deleted, these same emails repopulate in inbox. What is going wrong? How do I fix the problem?

Ihave iphone5c. Does not permanently delete emails showing in inbox. When they are move to Trash then inbox at first shows empty. However if you leave Mailbox and return then all the emails that were previously deleted and now repopulated in Inbox. I have tried various things like marking them "read" before deleting, then moving them to Trash, and they still return. What is going wrong and how do I fix the problem?

What your describing sounds lot like Nortons anti virus, but other do it to.
Multiple copies of the same email over and over are almost always anti virus incoming mail scanning. Turn off scanning and the problem goes away turn it back on and it resumes.
My guess is that your filter issues, and search problems are also related to this uniquitous and most ignored security tool that messes up far more than it should..
Deleting the index
I assume you mean the global-messages-db.sqlite. if you don't close Thunderbird and delete it now. Searches will be incomplete until it rebuilds and the time to do that will have a lot to do with how much mail there is and how busy the computer is.
Now create an exclusion in your anti virus program for the Thunderbird profile folders. My guess is it is trying to scan the files in your profile every time Thunderbird tries to open them and generally turning things into a tug of war, which Thunderbird looses as it just does not wait around if files are locked. It expects exclusive access to it's files immediately, not in 10 minutes when the anti virus has done it's thing. So things get added to the index but not removed. Mails don't move as the destination or source file is "in use" etc.

On new MacPro with Microsoft Office, two email accounts (same server) yet one is fine the other dumps 35,000 emails into inbox. Apple consultants no help. How do I get the 35000 email account fixed?

On new MacPro with Microsoft Office. Two email accounts, same service provider and server, yet one email account is fine and the other dumped the entire server of 35,000 emails into inbox. Need to keep server load for business, but how can emulating server on one account be fixed?

You should clean up your inbox on the server. Log into the account's web interface and move the 35,000 emails out of the inbox into another folder. Why do you need to keep 35,000 emails in the inbox? An email client like OutLook etc. using POP protocol downloads all the inbox emails to your computer.

I have duplicate email accounts icons, NOT recieving duplicate emails just two of the same email icons

I had a blackberry curve 8310 with ATT. I transferred carriers and got a new bold 9650 with sprint. I transferred data from old curve to new bold. But the old email didn't work on new bold. So I went to set up BIS with sprint, it added email account that works. But now I have two icons with the same email address. One works and one doesn't so it is confusing when I am selecting address to compose email. How do I delete email icon/account. I hid the icons but when composing email, it still shows two of the same email in the From:

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!!
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
2) Delete and Resend Service Books
KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you!

When I send an email, it duplicates the content in same email?

I am having a problem that is brand new. When I send an email, the recipient is receiving the same content twice in the same email. How can I fix this?

Send yourself a test e-mail and see if it does that. It could be the recipients e-mail program.

Blackberry 8520 keeps repeatedly downloading the same email messages and facebook notifications

My Blackberry 8520 has all of a sudden started downloading the same email addresses and facebook notifications, that I have already read, I tried deleting them totally and also deleted from my computer inbox, but it just downloaded the next lot in my inbox repeatedly instead. Sometimes it says I have 50 unread messages, which is the same 7 or 8 messages over and over again, showing as unread.
I have rebooted device several times and don't know what else to do now, can anyone help please?
Thanks very much

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Have you changed the settings for messages on your account on the providers website?
(Gmail, Yahoo, etc.)
If that's not it try the following:
Go to options advanced options, Host Routing Tables, click to enter. DO NOT click on any listing.
Press menu key, and select register now.
You will get a verification message. Then go to email settings and send service books.
I would suggest logging into the carriers BIS site via PC if you can.
You will get an email per account. Repeat the battery pull and see if the problem is
resolved.
Let us know how it goes!
Thanks,
