Getting Duplicate Emails in Inbox on POP account

OK, I've suddenly started getting duplicates every time Mail checks my mail server.
I remedied this about a week ago by changing the settings to "delete mail immediately" but that renders my Blackberry pretty much useless for this account. So, afte rI turned it back to "after one day" the problem went away.
NOw, it's back again.
Any suggestions as to the cause and how to stop it.
I'm a fairly savvy programmer and have no fear of the command line or editing

Sorry for the late reply. I've got the latest version of the OS X and mail (10.5.7 and 3.6). The account has been many places -- it was on my old G4 that had Tiger, then I got an aluminum Intel Core 2 Extreme iMac with Leopard and migrated everything over from the old system; then Apple had to replace my iMac three times because of power issues. Actually, it originated long before my G4 with Tiger. I've used this account forever. The problem, however, just cropped up spontaneously a few weeks ago, with no changes on my end. Thanks for anything you can suggest!

Tell them to use "Plain Text" when sending you the email, not RTF. Or, get this:

Cannot get emails after changing to pop account

Telstra, my internet provider, required me to change my email settings to a pop account. I had no choice in this matter.
I am told that this will gradually happen to all users over the next 12 months....!
BUT..... now my ipad will not receive or send emails!
I copied over new settings from laptop to ipad as advised. This did not work.
I then re--synced ipad to laptop....this did not work. I have since found 'online' that there is a problem with ipads
and 'pop' accounts
Further contact with Telstra informed me that they are not responsible for other devices and
I will have to pay to get this problem fixed. This is a $99 set rate!
Can anyone help me to reconfigure my ipad to receive and send emails?

Did you already try the Mail assistant for iPad?
On thing to keep in mind:
iOS: 'Mailbox Locked', account is in use on another device, or prompt to re-enter POP3 password
What to ask if you're having issues sending, receiving, or configuring Mail
iOS: Unable to send or receive Mail
I have no problems using my POP Mail account on my iPad.
If you have copied the settings from your computer, make sure that all passwords have been added again by you, they might have been removed for security reasons during copy process.
I started from the scratch by adding a new account, to be sure all settings were correct.
Some accounts don't work using SSL, in that case set it up without using SSL

TS3276 Getting duplicate emails including ones that I just trashed.

After rebuilding my mac mail I start getting duplicate emails including ones that I just trashed. How do I resolve this.?

10.5.8 & even 10.4.1 can talk to iCloud Mail, (no other syncing is available though), but iCloud is IMAP only, as far I know.
To be safe,
On Mail...
First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Once we have those backed up we can try deleting again, at least the POP account, trashing IMAP may either delete it on the Server too, or redo it on the computer.

How can I stop getting duplicate emails?

I've been getting duplicate emails for as long as I can remember. I've tried the suggestions I've found on these forums, including getting rid of MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2 from the three mail accounts I use. I have two domains of my own, and my .mac email account, and the duplicates occur with all three accounts - and it's driving me crazy!
I don't get duplicates of all my emails, and it seems quite random, but it does happen a lot.
This happens on my G4 laptop at home, and also on my G5 iMac at work.
I am anxious for a solution that actually works, because nothing I've seen suggested or tried has helped.
Thanks,

David, the problem appears to be that random messages are downloaded more than once from a server (it could be any of my three servers, two of which are my own domains, and the third of which is my .mac account, which is set up as a .mac account rather than a POP account).
I did notice this, and wouldn't be surprised if it's the cause of the problems: on my home machine, in the ~/library/mail folder, there are three POP account folders.
Two of them match my current email addresses ([email protected] and [email protected]), while the third is labelled "[email protected]@mail.hrksf.com,"
even though I currently use [email protected] rather than [email protected] With me so far?
On my work machine, in the ~/library/mail folder, there are two POP account folders. One is actually for a domain that no longer exists, the other is the same as #3 above - [email protected]@mail.hrksf.com. Somehow, mail.app is using these two folders to download my mail. I have tried deleting the folders but mail.app recreates them. I'm not at work to check at the moment, but I don't think either of those folders contains a MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2 file.
I don't know if it matters that these folders don't match my accounts, but I imagine that it does. Any ideas?
Thanks,

How can i get my emails in the hotmail POP folder, to reload into Mac Mail?

On the hotmail page, it has the 'inbox/ but it also has a folder named POP. In this folder it saves months worth of emails, older than the ones in the regular inbox. I keep whats important and often refer back to the old ones in this POP folder. The hard drive failed on my macbook pro, so i lost all of the emails that i normally hold onto. Now that i have a new hard drive, i'm rebuilding my data, and would like to get the emails out of that POP folder to reload into my mac. I cannot find anyway to do this! All that loads into my mac mail, is new emails. Any idea how i can get these to load? There are 2000 of them, so resending each one isn't really an option!!!

What software version are you using?
All moving and copying should be done from inside the application.
Try using the relink function to point to the moved files.

Duplicate emails in inbox (AOL)

Is anyone else who uses AOL mail getting duplicate emails in their inbox on your iPhone? If you delete one of them, the message is gone from your inbox on AOL.

Myself, and there is another thread on this very same issue, "Why am I getting duplicate emails": http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1368304&tstart=0
So, it seems there is something rippling through the AOL service causing our email retrieval to hiccup.

Getting DUPLICATE email attachments of videos taken

I took video using the phone's own camera app and forwarded it to my email ONCE. Now, I am getting duplicate emails of this same video attachment every time I open my email. Has anyone experienced this? How can I fix it?
Also, every time I open my email, it says "Cannot Send Mail - An error occurred while delivering this message." Then at the bottom it keeps saying "Sending 2 of 6" or "Sending 1 of 6", etc. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Both issues are ones normally experienced when there is an issue with the mail account not the iPhone...
If you've already tried a hard reset...then I'd remove the mail account from iPhone...then add it back....this usually fixes synchro and dup item issues...

I get duplicate emails for iCloud since converting to iOS 5.0

Since upgrading to iOS 5.0 and converting from MobileMe to ICloud I get duplicate emails for same acount. It's like a MobileMe account and a Icloud account...
Plus I don't have any "On My Iphone" calanders, reminders, contacts, etc.. Not sure but maybe related...
Help please and thanks you!

My recommendation would be to go to iTunes on the computer, under LIBRARY find the APPS tab and at the bottom it should say 9 Available Updates. Click on this, then you can update them from iTunes. To get them on your phone, go to Settings > General > iTunes Wi-Fi Sync (if you have iCloud set up).

How can I get another email to verify my icloud account

How do I get another email to verify my icloud account the last one timed out so I could not use it ??

You can ask your email service provider for another email address. They often allow several per account. Or you can sign up for a free gmail, yahoo or other email address. Or you might use your spouse's email address.

I am getting duplicate emails with roadrunner.

I am getting duplicate emails from roadrunner. we've checked preferences and not having any success.

my .me email address which I don't plan on giving up
That's fine.
On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud. Switch Mail off then back on.
Same with your iPhone. Tap Settings > iCloud. Swtich Mail off then back on.
Restart the Mac.
Restart your iPhone. Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Hopefully that will prevent duplications.

Getting duplicate emails from SharePoint Report Library subscription.

Getting duplicate emails from SharePoint Report Library subscription.
Users are subscribed for each item in Report Library and it is scheduled to send email at 3 PM every day.
But, intermittently users are getting duplicate emails.
Please let me know on how to troubleshoot...

If you have Exchange, you can track the email from there to see if that yields any value. You can also turn up the diagnostic logging in Central Admin -> Monitoring -> Configure diagnostic logging -> SQL Server Reporting Services, and selecting:
Report Server Email Extension
Report Server Schedule
Report Server Subscription
Turn them up to Verbose in the Trace log, then monitor the ULS log when you identify a user who has received duplicate emails.

I want to dump all of my saved emails from a specifc POP account

I have too many email in a yahoo pop account that I access thru Mail. I tried to delete all of them from the back end. but when I started Mail again all of them showed us (over 400,000, don't ask). Now I am thinking I should just reinstall Mail and dump everything that is currently in that invox. I have done a back up in TM incase anything goes horribly wrong.
Someone please help!

I believe you have a thread on this already. why are you starting a new one? are all those POP messages present on the server or are they just on your computer? if they are only on your computer, just delete the yahoo account in Mail preferences->accounts. this will delete all mailboxes associated with the account.

Some external Users are getting Duplicate Emails from our domain

Some external Users are getting Duplicate Emails from our domain. I have Exchange 2013 and is properly configured. A user reported me that, I sent one email to the other domain's user, and it was delivered twice after 1 or 2 hours. I checked the Message
track log on exchange servers and email was resubmitted and sent from the edge server after 2 hours.
I have no idea why this is happening? can you please help me on this issue.

Hi Aleem,
Maybe some hidden rules cause this, I suggest use MFCMapi tool to double check whether there is any hidden rules exist.
