How can I always display duplicate email messages in Apple Mail?

I would like to have Apple Mail ALWAYS display "duplicate" messages without having to click on the duplicates link in the upper right of the message. 
Apple Mail identified a series of messages as "duplicates" when in fact they were not duplicates.  I would have otherwise missed out on very important information and the only reason I even knew to look for this was because I saw them on my iPhone.  I want to avoid this issue in the future.

Comfortable with terminal...know how to edit using TextEdit:
Open up a Terminal and use the following commands to change your Mail.app preferences file to an XML format – the default format is binary, and you can't edit this.
cd ~/Library/Preferences
plutil -convert xml1 com.apple.mail.plist
Then, open this file com.apple.mail.plist with a text editor of your choice, preferably one that highlights XML syntax, but you can also use TextEdit:
open -a "TextEdit" com.apple.mail.plist
Now, look for the key called MailAccounts. It's value is an array, with dict children. Here, you'll find all your mail accounts in the order they were created in.
You can now manually move these dict children around. Save the XML file and reopen Mail. Now, your Mail account order will be changed.

    You won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.

  • How can I separate phone and email messages?

    I am new to the blackberry and do not see a way to separate my phone messages from email messages.  There is an icon for my email inbox (labeled my email address) but these messages also show up under the "messages" icon mixed in between my phone activity.  What I desire is to have only phone messages/activity (missed calls, etc) under one icon, and my email under another icon. 
    Is there a way to stop email from showing under the "messages" icon?  Can anyone explain how to do this please?
    Regards,  Tim

  • How can I remove mirrored/duplicate email accounts

    I deleted an old account and then added a new account and now I have a mirrored/duplicate set of accounts showing in the left column - each active (with a 40 emails count difference!)
    How can I remove the new additions? Thank You.

    The account settings do not show the mirrored/duplicate accounts, they only appear in the vertical column on the left.
    Using the accounts settings I tried to delete an account and it deleted both my original account and the mirrored one.
    When I re-installed this account - I acquired a duplicate again!
    Thanks for the reply

  • HT201269 How can I backup all my email messages from my ipad2 to my mac. iTunes does not transfer all the sent / received mail.

    Hi,
    I damaged my ipad and saved a backup using iTunes while it was away for repair.
    I used another ipad while it was away, but none of my email messages sent or received had been saved.
    How do I backup my email ?

    hi, not totally, as when the N8 died, the shop here in France couldn't really do much to help and more like didn't want to do much to help, and transferred what data was available from the sim to the mini sim on the apple. Now looking in depth, Windows Contact is an 'orrible application that is not very easy to handle (Windows Address Book is no longer available for anything above Vista and is all tied into Windows Live and things to do with Hotmail and Messenger..... Gatesy is trying to dominate things again..... WOZ HELP!!)
    Sony have worked alongside Apple for a long time, so with a new 12/2012 Experia smartphone, the transfer details are a doddle, but now that Nokia has succombed to being part of the Dark Side (MS) and offering windows phones only, I can understand the retiscence of our late leader and his "heavenly crew" of having to deal with the Dark Side

  • 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 stop getting duplicate emails, macmail 4.6?

    I am getting what seem to be random duplicates of emails in my Inbox. I have changed nothing in my email preferences nor have I set any rules that ask for duplicates. I am not having any mail forwarded to me from any other email account. All of my email comes to me through a local email server where I recently set a filter to automatically delete a particular recurring spam. It seems that shortly after this I began having some, but not all, duplicate emails in my inbox. I am running MacMail 4.6 on a Macbook Pro, OS 10.6.8. Please help if you can. Thanks.

    Bigpond have been outsourcing their mail through Micrisift outlook.com. This service appears to have some issues, as I to have duplicated mails at time from Outlook.com.
    Basically I think the service has issues. Normaly I would disable email scanning in the anti virus product, and it might help in your case, but as I have issues with a single account out of 22mail account around the world I just blame the outlook.com POP service for being less than stable.
    As IMAP is the mail protocol supported by Windows 8 and therefore important to Microsoft from a marketing perspective, I have not heard of any issues with it. and my test IMAP account on OUTLOOK.com does not suffer from the issue.
    I do not have an outsourced Bigpond account to comment on, I only have the old Bigpond mail and that is stable with no duplicates.

  • Archiving Older Email Messages in Apple Mail

    Hi,
    I have searched here and the Internet, but I can't find an answer.
    I am using OS X 10.8.2 and Mail 6.2. I have emails dating back to 2008. I want to clear out my Inbox so, I was hoping that I could archive my old emails, but still have them available (or easily restore-able) should I need them.
    I created smart mailboxes by year, 2008, 2009, etc. I was hoping that I could archive each smart mailbox and then delete the emails from my Inbox. However, it doesn't look like Mail will allow me to do that. I tried right-clicking the smart mailbox, but there is no archive option. If I highlight the smart mailbox the 'Archive' option under the Message Menu is grayed out.
    There must be a way that I can accomplish archiving in Apple Mail.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!
    Paul

    If you're not using IMAP, Mail is still communicating with the mail server, so even if you see those types of messages, nothing abnormal is going on. There's no such thing as invisible email, so if there were really anything being sent or downloaded, you'd see it.

    Into one of the domain accounts, or a specific mailbox in a domain account, that's your choice but:
    Remember that you are moving mail over the internet, and you are uploading (slower). If the quantities are large you must use caution.
    1. Copy, don't move, in the event of a failure the original will still exist, delete it later.
    2. Limit copies to <500 emails
    3. Single copy operations are more reliable than multiple.
    Take your time.
    Thanks, but impractical. Many of the folders have more than 500 emails. Total is about 2 GB (which I have free on iCloud btw)
    I tried creating a folder "Archive" in my iCloud, then tried dragging one iMac folder into the new "iCloud > Archive" folder on my iMac. I got the error message:
         Some items could not be created:

    sorry, I'm sure my vocabulary in English is not helping you, let me try to show you in images...
    Go to Preferences,
    As my image is in Portuguese-BR, let my try to explain... You need to click on the icon next to iCloud icon. can you see that? that blue ball between iCloud and Rede (network, in English)
      I guess opening there you'll can disable hotmail and Gmail, watch the next image, these are the preferences on of Mail, Contacts...:
    Now, in this window you need to search for your Gmail and Hotmail accounts, just select them (as in my case I have th Gmail one selected) and click on the minus, that is next to the plus signal,  down in the same window.
    I can assure you Apple support is the best you'll find, I don't know what it happened to you, but they're the best.
    Don't be worried about it, you bought the best device in the world, it just take a time till we now exactly how to use it
