Emails keep downloading, even after deleting

Help please.
I install new IO7 on my Iphone 5 and it has downloaded around 15k of my work emails taking up massive 6GB space. Is anyway possible I can change setting to keep latest 50/100 emails only.
I can not delete my work emails from server. The server is provided by GoDaddy.
I have tried twice to delete older emails but it immediately download again. It is frustrating and seems I have to change phone if it is not resolved soon.
I wonder what apple was thinking about business people when designing this new IO7 ?

My machine has just developed this problem too.
The answer that's usually given is to remove the "MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3" files in /User/Library/Mail/V2/MailData but this only seemed to work temporarily - the problem recurred and every few hours, hundreds of emails (deleted from the web server, deleted from my machine) re-appear in the in-box.
It's a webmail POP account (eircom.net) and the behaviour started right after Mail asked for the password again - was this some kind of hacking going on? Why would Mail suddenly require the password after years of not asking?

Email Keeps Re-downloading Even After Deletion

Hi,
iPhone Mail is re-downloading hundreds of previously viewed and deleted emails all of a sudden.
I've read in other posts about deleting the account and adding it again. Anyway to avoid this?
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi
I have the same problem, which has only happened about a month ago. I can delete about 40 emails from my inbox on the iphone 3G ( through the edit option ) and then 1 minute later they all come back in ?? I`ve tried deleting from the web page but they still come back. It`s very annoying ! I have spoken to my ISP ( Talk Talk UK ) and they say all is fine as my emails delete on my mac and it is a problem with the software on the iphone. I asked if they have the option to change to an IMAP account and they said no.
It seems that no one wants to take responsibility for this ; Apple say they want £140 to look at it as the phone is out of warranty, Talk Talk say all is fine from their point and O2 ( UK ) have tried the account re-set and say there is nothing more they can do !!! except upgrade me to the 3Gs .... but what if the same problem happens with that phone .. and i`m stuck with it for 18 months !
There must be a common thread with this problem as i`ve read the forum and there seems to be alot of similar issues out there ?

Emails keep downloading again after being deleted

Hi,
I have just bought an iphone 3GS 8gb and set up my email account which is the same as the one on my pc (POP3 btinternet) when I delete an email or all of them all of the ones that I have already opened and deleted download again? (set to 25 latest) not just any new ones...how do I set it stop this and just get the new ones?
I have my email account set to leave a copy on the server (Outlook)and this doesnt keep reloading deleted emails??
Help please as I am new to apple and iphones

When creating a POP account with a new email client, all new messages that remain at the incoming mail server for the account will be downloaded as new and unread messages regardless if the messages have already been downloaded as new and unread messages with another email client - in the case with Outlook on your PC. This has nothing to do with Apple and the iPhone. The same would occur after creating a POP account with any new email client. This is the nature of a POP account. Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only. All messages that remain at the incoming mail server with a POP account will be downloaded as new and unread messages - the same would occur if you deleted and recreated the account with Outlook on your PC.

Messenger Invite keeps returning even after delete

Hi,
Problem regarding BBM.
A friend of mine added me as a contact and we chatted with no problem. He added me using my email address.
A few hours later I got an "invite request" from him again, even through he was already my contact so I accepted it again not thinking anything of it. It stayed as pending. All this time I was able to chat to him no problem.
Then a few hours after that it came through again. And again. He confirmed that he was not "re-inviting" me each time. We both deleted eachother as contacts. But still I get this invite request.
It is highly annoying. Ignoring (and checking the ignore all future invites does not help as the BBM notifier remains visible with 1 new notification which won't go away).
We are not contacts anymore so why is the invite request periodcally returning???
It's as if the invite message is caught in a queue somewhere and my accepting it does not work....perhaps due to an ecryption issue?
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Info:
I am using a Bold 9700 with BBM v5.0.0.57. I have 1 email address set up using BIS on O2 (UK) service provider.
I do not know what phone my mate uses but he most probably goes through his company's BES.

I upgraded to 8.3 and that's when all of my troubles began...my phone is now constantly stating the memory is full...I've deleted ALL apps other than the standard apps that apple forces you to have...I've deleted ALL pics and videos...I can't use my camera...I can't send or receive text msgs or emails...every time I even attempt to open my email it crashes...I've hard re-booted at least 50 times and it still says i have no storage and I basically can't do anything with this $600 pos!!!! I'm so heated right now i want to throw this phone as far as I can across the room! And oh yeah...the wait at the Apple store is 2 hours...guess i don't have the only POS in town!
Does anyone have any suggestions please!!!!!!!!

IPhoto Keeps Quitting Even after Deleting Plist Files Repairing perm Files

When I try to launch iPhoto The page seems to begin to load then I get a box saying " The application iPhoto has unexpectedly quit". I tried to troubleshoot by deleting the iPhoto plist files and then I repaired the permission files.There is still no change.
What else can I do? Thanks very much for your help!

Glad to help, but I think you worked the magic Sally. Deleting photos from the Desktop is harmless to iPhoto, and doing the same again should not be a problem. Maybe it was the overfull disk that initially caused iPhoto to think, 'I don't have enough space here to open, so I'll crash.'
It works like this. If you connected a camera and imported them into iPhoto, then that is the only place those photos reside and to delete any of them afterwards would have to be done in iPhoto where you would select a photo, then Move to Trash. This would keep the index straight.
But if you had some photos on your desktop and imported them into iPhoto, it makes a copy of them inside the iPhoto Library. If you were to delete one of those photos from the Desktop, it would still show in iPhoto because its copy still exists in the iPhoto Library.
So when you reported the problem arose after your deleted some photos, it made me think along the lines I did. But as you didn't muck about with the iPhoto Library folder's contents, you could not have damaged it. So you haven't done anything to wreck things. Maybe iPhoto was just choking from a lack of space.
It's great your photos are still all there. Now, with that copy of your iPhoto Library - put it on a CD for safe keeping. Games, software, info from websites, even songs can mostly be replaced if need be, but one's photos are unique and deserved to be backed up, to either another hard drive or burnt to an optical disk.
A tip: I suggest you create a new folder in your Pictures folder called say, ExtraShots (name it what you like) and put your photos there instead of the desktop. Doing so is not crucial, just tidy, and there is a slight advantage that your computer will run quicker if the Desktop is uncluttered.
Not a tip: Do keep your hard drive down to less than about 90% full / at least 10% "available free space" as Macs like room.
All the best, and I hope you take some great photos.

Videos keep downloading even after closing Firefox.

Hello, I just signed in because I have a weird issue, so this is my first post here:
Recently I noticed my internet connection suddenly was getting very slow, I thought it was some problem with my internet provider but the problem was getting very frequent. I use a program (Win7 gadget) that helps me monitor my internet traffic, access and usage, and I noticed all my bandwidth was being used even if I had all programs closed. A couple of days later I discovered that each time I opened a streaming video from any site (not just YouTube), the problem was there, so everytime I watch a video I have to wait for it to load completely, even if I close the tab or the browser.
I don't have the slightest idea how this problem started, I'm very careful about the software I install in my PC. I've searched all over the web trying to find a solution but to no avail, it seems a lot of other users have the same issue but with some variants: some people blame it on BitDefender, other people blame it to using other browsers, etc. but I haven't found a solution yet.
Now, watching videos is a big part of my internet experience, even YouTube is my homepage, and I sometimes like to watch very long videos (20+ min.), so you can tell this problem ruins a big part of my web usage. Let's say I open a video with a 3:00 minutes length, I watch like 20 seconds of it and then I decideo to close it, now I must wait the whole three minutes for the video to stop buffering to be able to watch another one (or to do anything web related for that matter) or surf the web at the pace of a snail until the video stops loading.
The solutions I've tried so far are:
Disabling all antivirus options in BitDefender 2012.
Disabling and enabling again the network adapter.
Uninstalling my monitoring programs (Windows 7 gadgets).
Updating Flash Player to the latest version.
Trying to tweak the various Flash Player options found in Control Panel (a.k.a. Global Settings).
Trying to tweak the Flash Player Settings found by right clicking on a video.
Another thing I noted is that if I try to find which program is accessing the internet with the Resource Monitor that comes with Windows 7, there's none. Let's say that I open a video, I check the Resource Monitor and there I can find Firefox is accessing internet as expected, then I close Firefox, the program dissappears from the Resource Monitor (again, as expected) but the bandwidth is still being accessed at full. I have a very slow connection (2 Mb), so you can tell how this becomes a problem for me.
I'm not sure how or when the problem started, and I'm reluctant to do a System Resore because there seems none of the programs affected have nothing to do with my issue, and I'd lose some other stuff I've configured on my PC and want to keep.
Well, that's all I have to say, thank you for reading and I really hope you can come with a solution, cya!
Here are my specs:
Windows 7, 64-bit
Firefox, ver. 17.0.1
Adobe Flash Player, ver. 11.5.502.135
(PS: While writing my specs, I was just wondering if it was a problem with Firefox, which updates quite frequently... go figure.)

What? No replies? Anyone?
Well, I just wanted to add that the problem seems to be with Firefox. I tried opening videos with Internet Explorer 9 and they stopped buffering the moment I closed their tabs or closed the browser, so I downgraded Firefox from ver. 17.0.1 to ver. 16.0.2 and I thought the problem was solved, the videos stopped downloading as soon as I closed them, but the next time I opened Firefox the problem was there again...
BTW, I've already ran a full system antivirus scan, but my PC is clean. I've also tried disabling Greasemonkey and all its scripts.
Please, help me if you can!

Emails keep re-appearing after deleting in icloud

I just updated my mobileme to icloud. When I delete my e-mails in my iphone or on my mac they keep re-appearing in my inboxes. Any idea how to make it stop?

Try restarting your Mac and your iPhone.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

USERS tablespace keeps expanding even after deletions.

I am using version 9.0.4.0.0 of CMSDK with a 10.1.0.3.0 database.
Whenever I store files on the tablespace and remove them afterwards the tablespace does not seem to be cleaned.
I have checked the logs for activiations of the agents (which I set at 10 minute intervals atm), and they seem to be running like they should, but the tablespace remains just as large is it was before.
(I can see returning entries for the ContentGarbageCollectionAgent, FolderIndexAgent, DanglingObjectAVCleanupAgent and ContentAgent)
How do I reclaim the free space? For space considerations I would need to know the exact numbers when I look at the "Used MB´s"; and it will be kind of hard to figure this out if the tablespace keeps expanding.
Reorganising does not work on the Advanced Queue parts using our current software versions.
If I am asking for a bridge too far, is there any other product I could use to create a database which functions as a fileserver, operating with SMB/HTTP/WEBDAV and FTP support?
Thanks a LOT in advance for any info!

That is an internet explorer issue (see the MSIE 6.0 part). Microsoft labels their User Agent Mozilla/ x for website compatibility, for it isn't related to Firefox at all. You can see a list of all the Internet Explorer user Agent strings [http://www.useragentstring.com/pages/Internet%20Explorer/ http://www.useragentstring.com/pages/Internet%20Explorer/]. Unfortunately, there isn't much I can do to help you, but you can try to reset Internet Explorer, [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737].

Why i keep seeing email on iphone, even after i deleted it directly from the server?

Why i keep seeing email on iphone, even after i deleted it directly from the server?
This means it doesnt sync the server inbox, only keeps pushing new emails!
How to force it to realy sync every time the server inbox, and just show me in the iphone inbox exactly what i see in the server inbox???

I'm just fresh in iOS, but dont think its a POP/IMAP matter.
Always used mobile push email apps on symbian and android with POP and never had this issue.
My usual former scheme is:
a) My main email client is Outlook at my laptop (POP). This one is the master email client and after download new emails deletes them at the server.
b) My secondary is a mobile email client (also POP) - just to see whats going on and maybe reply here and there.
Meaning, laptop does cut/paste and mobile does copy/paste
So:
a) If i download a new email first using my laptop, it will never be pushed latter from iphone (its not there anymore).
b) If i download a new email first using my mobile app, and only then download it with laptop, it is still there available, and then gets deleted at the server.
c) If i download a new email first using my mobile app and if i manualy delete it and then perform another sync, then this email is deleted at server, and will be no more available for download to laptop.
Resuming:
1- The laptop ask to server what's in the inbox, downloads it all and then order the server to kill them all.
2- The iphone only ask whats new and downloads it all.
3- The iphone SHOULD ask server what's new, AND ask server what was removed from server inbox since last sync, AND tell server wich emails were removed at iphone since last sync.
As far i remember, at least one symbian app called Profimail does all this quite perfectly...
Any ideas?

I keep receiving duplicate email, even after deleting them, they keep coming up as new wails.

I keep receiving duplicate email even after deleting them

After you delete them, empty the trash before they re-load.

My email keeps loading the same emails even after deleting them. They keep coming back everytime I start up the mail app. What can I do?

It sounds like you may be "synced" to an IMAP email server with your ISP. You would need to go into Mail>Preferences and set the messages to be removed from the IMAP server after some period of time so they don't redownload to your computer. That's one possiblility. Another is if you are synced with iCloud, then the mail is stored on your iCloud server backup and will redownload until you remove it.
Hope this helps

My mac mail on just keeps sending the same messages even after deleted and shows thousands of emails supposed to be coming in

If you have a backup, you can restore the e-mails. Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Library/Mail/V2.

How to keep your email on the server after deleting from the phone?

how to keep your email on the server after deleting from the phone?

If this is a POP mail account:
Settings > Mail.... > Your account > Advanced > Delete from server > Never.
However, this will risk re-downloading as new mail
IMAC accounts mirror what's on the phone in the server, so deleting from the inbox on the phone will either send it to the trans folder on the server or leave it in the inbox but marked as deleted (depending on the server)
Settings > Mail.... > your account > Advanced > Deleted Mailbox > On My iPhone Trash

Old comcast emails keep downloading in to my mailbox

After I updated my software to iOS 5.1 I had to do a full restore. Since then old comcast emails keep downloading to my mailbox 50 at a time. I have two other email accounts on my phone and neither one of them have updated old deleted emails. I am tired of having to delete these old emails. Help!!

When you restored, the accounts were recreated. This is normal with a POP account - when an existing POP account with received messages that remain at the incoming mail server. All received messages that remain at the incoming mail server will be downloaded as new and unread messages when creating the account with a new email client or when the account is recreated.
The same doesn't occur with an Exchange or IMAP account. A POP account is an antiquated account type.
