Duplicate mail messages

can anyone tell me what setting I need to change so that I don't get duplicate duplicate messages - ever since 'mobile me' went live I have been getting every message twice - its not a problem so much as extremely irritating - mind you - a lot better than not getting messages!

I was having this trouble as well. Yesterday I disabled the MobileMe account in Mail preferences (mac.com is my only email) and duplicate messages have stopped. The sidebar changes back to what I was used to in the last version of OS X (all the mobileme gunk is gone). So far so good.

Duplicate mail messages and incoming "bounces"

Many of my incoming email messages are duplicate copies, and sometimes people sending me email tell me it bounced, yet I received it. What setting are wrong for this to happen?

Yes, setting the monitor to the default resolution, it does look fine. But for applications like Word, Pages, Preview and many other when you set the display zoom magnification to 100.00 regardless of the screen resolution the text seems normal, but in Mail, there is no screen zoom magnification, and so the higher the screen resolution, the smaller the text in composed and received messages is.

Update to server info duplicate mail messages

I changed the outgoing and the incoming server info. Did not change the port numbers. Do I need to do this? I was able to send and receive but now I have duplicate messages in my in box! How do I change this? Am I doing this correct?
thanks

E61i/E71 MfE duplicates mail message, unable to de...

Got the following problem, have tried E61i and E71, both with MfE:
When receiving an e-mail from one specific person (professional account), this mail is downloaded to my phone on every synch, duplicating itself, until the original message is removed from the server. But then I'm still unable to remove/delete all duplicated mails from my phone. Duplicates show the red 'deleted' crossbar, but are not removed from the list anymore. Only solution sofar is a complete reset of the phone... No problems with other mail from other person within same organisation. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Taxipete,
try using RoadSync instead and see if the sync will work -- if not then you've got another error in the solution.
You might want to check for calendar events and mails from Exchange users who have been recently deleted, this can throw both packages off.

TS3899 I send an e-mail message from my iPhone 5c and it shows up in Sent folder as a duplicate, 2 of the same e-mail messages sent at the same time.

I send an e-mail message from my iPhone 5c and it shows up in Sent folder as a duplicate message. 2 identical messages sent at the same time. What's up with this? Tried Apple Support by phone, and did a couple of troubleshoots, then my connection with Apple Support was cut off. Issue not resolved yet.

Did the mail get sent? Is the only issue the fact that it appears twice in the Sent folder?

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?

Duplicate new messages in Mail???

Mail seems to have moods swings in which it chooses to keep 2 copies of the same message in the inbox. Often the duplicate disappears but when is a variable it seems. Can someone help with this? I don;t know if its related, but Mail also does not quit unless I quite and then use force quit for good measure.

Same problem but I notice the duplicate email is not assigned to any mailbox (just blank) and I only see them when I am doing a search in Mail.
I'm having exactly this problem. It has happened since switching from pop to imap, with the MobileMe transition.
I have tried rebuilding all mailboxes twice, which appears to address the problem for a while, then they come back in searches again.
I also wondered if it might have something to do with running the delete duplicates Mail script, which I did after moving all my mail online for imap. I accidentally uploaded a folder twice, so I ran the script to delete the duplicates.

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 incoming mail messages

I keep getting duplicates and sometimes even triplicates of most incoming mail messages. I have used the "rebuild" option, but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

Thank you,

First, is her Mail configured to remove messages from the server right away, or leave them on for some duration? (Preferences/Accounts/(choose account)/Advanced/Remove copy from server after retrieving message)
Did the 3 copies come in at the same time, or over the course of some time when Mail automatically checked for new mail? Can you use webmail to view what the server shows (could it have 3 copies?)

How to set iPhone so Mail messages in inbox disappear after being downloaded to Mail on my MacBook Pro

Hi -
Previously, the Mail settings on my iPhone and MacBook Pro were set exactly as I wanted them to be: If I opened a Mail message on my phone, it stayed in the inbox only until I opened the Mail App on my MacBook Pro, at which time it downloaded onto the notebook and disappeared from the iPhone. This is how I want it, as I have no need for duplicate emails in multiple locations.
I recently had to reformat the hard drive on the MascBook Pro and reinstall all the software and data. Unfortunately, I was not able to save the Mail preferences, and now my Mail App works differently: Mail messages remain on both the iPhone and the Mac, and if I delete a message on one device it also disappears from the other.
Can anyone help me to figure out how to get the settings and preferences back to the way they were originally? Thanks for any information anyone can provide.
Shelly

Are you using Mac Mail - the icon that looks like a stamp?
If yes, you can create Mailboxes. (click on Mailbox in the menu bar and select New Mailbox...) These are folders and are visible in Mail.
You store the mail you wish to archive in appropriate folders.

Another user's calendar appears when a date is selected in Mail message

Just upgraded to Lion on our family Mac. My wife and I each have an account on the Mac and share an Apple ID for purchases.
We each have an iPhone and have separate iCloud accounts. The shared Apple ID is used only for the App Store on the phones.
iCloud is working great, and syncing correctly with our individual accounts on the Mac.
But if I select a date that appears in a Mail message in my account on my Mac, the preview window for making an iCal event appears with my wife's calendar events, not mine!
If I go ahead and create the event anyway, it correctly appears in my calendar, not in my wife's.
Any way to prevent the display of another user's calendar when making an event from a date in a Mail message from your own account on a Mac running Lion?

Duplicate thread!

How does one create a GROUP mailing list from an e-mail message ? ?

I am having no end of frustration trying to figure out - using the latest versions of Apple Mail and Apple Address book in side-by-side windows, t he following:
How to select; then 'drag & drop' a list of email addresses from an incoming email message I am reading, so that I can create in my own address book a duplicate "Group" list bearing all the addresses that got the message.
I am sure I have been able in the past to use simple drag-n-drop technique between the mail window and the newly created "Group" window in Address Book, but it won't work this time .
Is there a script or a third party app somewhere that will lift addresses out of the "TO" and "c.c." fields in an Apple Mail message and import them into a designated (new) 'Group' list in Address Book.
Or is there a way to create a CSV file from an email message - if that will do the trick ?

Mailscript's Add Addresses script should open a window with all the addresses in the email listed. You can select the ones you want to import, you can choose the group or create a new one, and you can pick the label for the email address. It will stay open so that you can add different emails to different groups.
Your description doesn't sound anything like Mail Scripts.

How do I record a voice mail message from our iphone onto my MacBook Pro?

My wife has a few voice mail messages on her iphone from her brother(who passed away). She would like to save these in a safe place where she can listen in the future. Recording these messages on an MP3 player as other have suggested, doesn't give us that permanence, security, easy accessability we are looking for.

I had exported an address book backup: abbu
so since i wrote, i have found my way into the cloud: selected all entries - deleted them all from the cloud.
This wiped out contacts on my iphone and i pad, and MBP, as well as on the cloud. I then imported the abbu back into my now empty address book.
To repopulate the crowd, i selected all in my address book and created a single card vCard for export to my desktop. I then dragged that vcard into my empty cloud. Now my cloud has the same clean contacts as my MBP addressbook. The cloud then pushed the clean contacts into my empty ipad and iphone contacts.
I had to go back to Address Book>preferences>Accounts and Add an I cloud account - but if you accidentally create a second i cloud account - all of a sudden your address book will duplicate itself. I quickly reversed it by deleting one of the icloud accounts in my Address Book>preferences>Accounts.
I created a new entry on my MBP and it is now on all devices and in cloud
I also created a new entry on my iPhone and it is now in the address book on my MBP.
I feel empowered!!
Have i missed anything??

Entourage (2004) creates duplicate inbox messages after upgrade to Tiger

I recently upgraded to Tiger in order to sync my iphone.
All works well except incoming mail messages duplicate themselves in my Entourage Inbox.
Some of the duplicate messages cannot be opened completely and cannot be deleted.
I unsuccessfully searched Mactopia for a patch.
I sync with an Exchange server at my office and had no problems with Panther.
Also I do not get the duplicate emails on my iphone or my MS Outlook Web Mail.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I had the same issue. I found that I had two entries under my account settings, which pointed to the same mail server. Once I deleted one of the accouint entries, the problem has been resolved.

Duplicate Inbox after trying to solve Gmail duplicate sent messages...

.. was trying to solve the problem of duplicate sent messages with Gmail email on the BB Curve 8350. In following instructions from this message board, I instead ended up with duplicate INBOXES. Now, when I unregister and re-register my gmail account on my phone, it creates a new icon. This has resulted in my original problem being multiplied by four. What I mean is, now I have duplicate sent messages in TWO DIFFERENT INBOXES. Originally, my gmail account went to the main Inbox on the phone. I cannot delete the main message system.. HELP!

It seems I found a bug!
I now understand what happens, although don't know the reason. The symptoms are caused by the "Auto-Expunge" feature on Gmail. I disabled it and fooled around the options and this is what I discovered:
When I set "the message will be archived when disappear from the last visible folder", the message is archived whenever I try to move the sent messages to any other folder than the "Sent" one;
When I set "move the message to trash when disappear from the last visible folder", the message is deleted and moved to trash whenever I try to move it from the "Sent" folder to any other.
In other words, for some awkward reason, Lion's Apple Mail is not handling folder-to-folder operations and Gmail thinks that the messages has been removed from the last visible folder and does with it whatever it was instructed to, which is either to archive or move to trash.
Since by disabling Auto-Expunge Gmail waits for the client to take the action, it seems that Apple Mail is sending the wrong command or sending it on the wrong timing.
I wonder is Apple is aware of this.
Any suggestions?
