Duplicate Mail in 2 mailboxes.

Setting up my new Macbook Pro. I have a Gmail account and set up an IMAP mailbox to accept mail. But I get the same mail in my Inbox in Mail. So I get the same mail in 2 mailboxes. I tried to delete the Gmail mailbox but it would not let me. Is the problem IMAP? I thought on my old MacBook, Gmail was a POP account. Any ideas?

Maybe you have both POP and IMAP enabled at once. Log into your Google Mail account, Settings, then cast a cold eye on the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.

Why there are duplicate mail accounts in Mailbox?

Somehow the mail accounts in Mailbox of my iPhone 5 have been duplicated, so whenever there is a new E-mail, the unread E-mail number is doubled. This is what shows in the Mailbox.
As shown above, the Yahoo! mail and Gmail are duplicated, and I could not remove them with Edit. Anyone knows why this happens, and how I should remove the dplicate mail accounts here?

I have the same problem with my iPhone 4. The duplicate also appears on my MacBookPro. Have not found the solution yet.

Duplicate mail in mailbox

Hello,
Some users have complained of receiving old mail in their mailboxes. These old mails had been received some while ago, and just "arrive" in users' mailboxes.
The way out is to delete the mails and reconstruct -rf the mailbox.
This has happened about 5 times in approximately 4 months. Each time, it only concerns one user.
The machine(s) this happens on runs:
iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 HotFix 1.25 (built Mar 3 2004)
libimta.so 5.2 HotFix 1.25 (built 17:45:10, Mar 3 2004)
SunOS cro-su-07.croissy.domain.com 5.8 Generic_108528-21 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R
Is there a fix/patch? Has this problem been seen before?
Note: The way mails "arrive" in the mailbox is kind of mystical, as I have no trace in the mail logs. I was suspecting the pop daemon to be the cause.
Cheers,
Hyde

We wouild need more data in order to find a cause. As far as I know, there's no known bug that causes messages that have been deleted to come back.
Some admin tasks can cause messages to become "unread", or to come back, such as removing a store.exp file and the reconstructing the user.
Moving a user from one partition to another partition can cause messages to come back, IF the user is a POP user, and has "leave a copy on server" set.
Yes, there are fixes post hotfix 1.25. Patch 2 is publically available, and has fixes in it. None that I know of will address this particular issue.

Any apps for deleting duplicate mail?

I was thinking this was built in to Mail, but looking for a script or app that will help me find and eliminate duplicate emails in my mailboxes.

Here is a script to remove duplicate messages from Mail.app

I open Mail, and a new message screen comes up. I cannot get rid of it, and I cannot get to the mail in my mailbox???

When I try to open my mail (not IMail) a new message screen comes up on my iPad (version 8.1.3 (12B466), and I cannot cancel it; it prevents me from getting to the mail in that mailbox.

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Mail.app - Multiple mailboxes on same AD-account

Trying to set up my work-mailboxes in the Mail-app. I have my personal email ([email protected]) but also several other mails (for example: [email protected] och [email protected]) that is used by more people than me. Permissions to these are controlled via the AD-account (AD\myname).
I manage to set up my personal mail ([email protected]) without any problems, but when it comes to adding the other mailboxes, mail just won't do it.
I get an error message "An error accoured trying to set up the Mail-account. An unknown error occurred"
Does anyone have any idéas on how to set up Mail with several mailboxes controlled by the same AD-accound?

Hello FRA_ALLEN.
I tried to add a new POP account c@mydomain and got a failed message

Please, post the exact error message you get when trying to do that. To get the error message in English, go to System Preferences > International, move English to the top of the list and restart Mail.

Use Mail Scripts. Its Add Addresses function will collect all the addresses from all selected messages and allow you to select the ones you want to add and allow you to create groups as you go.

I converted my mail boxes from POP to imap for the purpose of syncing all my devices. I backed up my mail boxes and further more perfomed a timemachine backup.
Upon restoring ther mailboxes, either by manually copying them to the mailboxes folder, and restoring a timemachine backup, both pocesses result in the above problem.
Please recomend a solution.

Mail present in Mailbox, not showing in Smart Mailbox

OK, this is a bit complicated to explain, but let's try.
To archive old emails, I use to create a Smart Mailbox with criteria, for example, all emails (received or sent) from 01/01/2001 to 31/12/2001.
Then I drag them in a separate mailbox, which I can archive.
As a check, I show on the mail browser the "mailbox" column.
And many mails are reported as "blank" in the Mailbox column.
Worse, when I try to open them, they appear blank, too. No headers, no contents.
But if I do a Spotlight search on the title shown in the browser, I can find the .emlx file, and open it with Text Wrangler. Text Wrangler then give me the path of the file ... which is in the adequate mailbox !! And if I open the file through the result window of Spotlight, Mail decently opens the message ...
Rebuilding the mailboxes doesn't help.
It happens with "small" years (+/- 2000 messages) as well as with "big" years (10,000 messages and above).
Is there a way to rebuild a complete index of Mail ?
Thanks in advance

Claude,
It would appear that you do need to force reindexing. Since forcing reindexing involves more than those On My Mac mailboxes, the issue of what type of accounts you use remains relevant?
To force Mail to reindex, you quit Mail, and in the Finder open Home/Library/Mail and locate the Envelope Index file (hopefully you only find one file with similar name). Drag out, or delete the Envelope Index file from the Mail folder, and then relaunch Mail, which will announce that it is ready to import mailboxes, but really will only set about to index all mailboxes.
Again, if you have anything other than POP accounts, please report that, and if you understand what you are supposed to do with the account folder for non-POP accounts?

I have duplicate mail accounts and deleted messages keep redownloading in gmail

I am using Mountain Lion and I have a me.com email account, gmail account, and sbcglobal.net account. I set up my accounts in iMail and I use iCloud, but now I have duplicate mail accounts and every time I delete messages from my gmail account, the next time I go into Mail, all the deleted messages are back in my gmail account. How do I stop this from happening and how do I make it so that I don't have duplicates of everything!

All 3 email accounts show up under Inbox, but all three also show up as iCloud, sbcglobal.net, and gmail. The iCloud account will occasionally get duplicates, the sbcglobal.net account only gets mail that sbcglobal.net has put into a "bulk" folder and seems to be all junk mail and does not show up in the sbcglobal.net inbox account and the gmail shows up in both places, but I can delete messages in the gmail inbox account and they do not download again, but the second gmail account is the one that keeps redownloading the already deleted messages into the gmail "all mail" folder. I have tried deleting the gmail account and have gone to gmail's help page, but they are behind with set up for Mac Mail. The set up is for Mail 3.0 and not 6.2. It keeps downloading over a thousand emails into this gmail "all mail" folder. Is there any way to stop this?

Using addresses, can you print duplicate mailing labels for the same address

using my address book, can I print duplicate mailing labels for the same name and address.

I checked the Address Book Print Dialog and I did not see the option to duplicate a single label.
The only thing you could try is to select the name in your list. Then do Command-P to print which should get you to this dialog box:
Try changing the # of copies and see if that does what you want. Otherwise I'm not sure and your answer may best be found in the Address Book forum on here.
You may not want to incue the expense but Microsoft Word will do what you want.

How do I force smart mailbox to only show me mail from one mailbox while also showing multiple senders?

How do I force smart mailbox to only show me mail from one mailbox while also showing multiple senders?

It would help to post what you've tried. It does, indeed, appear that -h is the switch, and the man includes several examples, so if you've followed the examples and it's not working then that hints that you should pass it back to Apple.
You also don't say how you're implementing your change. Are you invoking slapd manually, or are you editing /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.openldap.slapd.plist ?
You should be doing the latter, and I'd expect to see something like this:
<array>
<string>/usr/libexec/slapd</string>
<string>-d</string>
<string>0</string>
<string>-h</string>
<string>ldap://x.x.x.20/ ldap://127.0.0.1/ ldapi://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fldapi</string>
</array>
(note the inclusion of ldap://127.0.0.1/ as an entry - you'll need to run on localhost as well the .20 address since all the local services will look to localhost)
You might also need an ldaps URL if you're using SSL but let's walk before we try to run

All e-mails in my mailboxes have been deleted. All the mailboxes are still there but the content in them...GONE. I tried the time machine

All e-mails in my mailboxes have disappeared. The mailboxes are still there, but no content. I think my behaviors were set to delete them after a month (i since tuned it off). I tried to go to time machine and it has never been "on". Can someone please help me retrieve ALL my e-mails that were in my mailboxes? Thank yoU!

It depends on your Mail Preferences Accounts Mailbox Behaviour settings. If your settings for the Comcast mail account are somethikng like this you would find them in your Mail Trash folder and then you would simply move them back to the correct folders. If you had not activated the Trash option for deleted messages and they are also no longer on the Comcast server, then they are probably erased from your system. Using the Trash option gives you some breathing room in case you accidentally or mistakenly delete messages.
Look in your Mail folder in a Finder window. Click on Home, open the Library folder and then open the Mail folder. Would be nice if there’s something there to recover but I don’t think so.

My iPhone 4S shows I have over 6 GB of memory used for mail yet the mailboxes are more or less empty. Where is the memory going and how can I reduce it?

I found a post with this solution that worked for me - .Do a backup, then download ibackupbot. It lets you look into the contents of that backup. Look in system files>mediadomain>library>sms>attachments. I found a ton of huge files related to long deleted texts. ibackupbot let me delete all that old crap. I then restored the phone with that now modifec backup and Bingo! freed up 9 GB. No problems.
But note, if you are not technically inclined you probaly don't want to be digging around and deleting back up files. You delete the wrong thing and you could jack up your phone badly. Be careful.
