How do I delete Read mail; it keeps coming back

how do you eliminate mail that has been read? Delete does not get rid of it; edit/move to trash doesn't get rid of it.  It  is re-counted  as Mail when it is old stuff.

In the settings for that email account, go to "Advanced" and be sure that "Delete from server" has "When Removed From Inbox" checked.  It sounds like your emails are not getting deleted from the email server.

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

  • HT4899 I keep getting the same email sent to my I cloud account, even though i delete them they just keep coming back

    I keep getting the same email sent to my I cloud account, even though I delete them they just keep coming back. I now have 7 email that I that I can delete several times a day and they just keep coming back.  Very frustrating  !!  

    Go and log out of your MobileMe account and then try logging back in again with a dummy username and password.  This can help clear it and then just log back in again with your normal username and password.
    Note though that iWeb does not require a password or username to use it - this is MobileMe.
    Also, start thinking about MobileMe alternatives before you are forced to in June.

  • How to delete a junk mail that keeps coming back after deleting it from the junk box?

    I have a junk mail from February that I really want to delete but it keeps coming back after deleting it several times. It comes back in the junk mail as 'read'.
    How should I remove it?
    Thanks for your help in advance!

    If the email provider is Google, try going to the gmail web portal, (log on from a computer or your iPad using safari), and manually delete the contents of your junk and trash.
    I did this today, and the reappearing junk has not (as of yet) reappeared.  Knocking on wood.

  • Cannot delete read mail. Keep getting the following message "926540.emlx" couldn't be copied to "Messages" because an item with the same name already exists.

    I am trying to free up room on my hard drive but keep getting the following message. “926540.emlx” couldn’t be copied to “Messages” because an item with the same name already exists. 926540.emix is the number given to the email I want to delete. This message appears (with a different .emix number) when I try to delete any mail. I have junk mail from 2014 to 2009 that I want to delete

    Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox. Try again to delete the message.

  • How to delete unwanted databases that keep coming back?

    Hi,
    Besides the usual Google mail database I have somehow acquired 2 other databases that I want to get rid off because I don't trust them.
    The first is the one a lot of other people seem to have as well RLDGUID and the other one is from a blog I visited. It's called sql-evercookie.
    I know how to delete the databases but when i do that they just pop back up. I have tried a lot of things, there isn't much you can do, I delete all my cookies, cache and history, rebooted the iPad. Nothing works. There must be a way to get rid of them right?
    I especially upset about the sql one. It's from a friend's blog who hired a company to design her a ' professional' blog. Why that has to include putiing databases on people's devices I don't know but I sure will ask. In the mean time I want it gone.
    Anyone has any ideas?

    So you never received a response to this?  Did you ever get an answer. I just found some on my original...not ipad2.
    Thanks!

  • Old mail signatures keep coming back

    Using OS X 10.8.2 and Apple Mail.  I have 3 POP accounts that I use with different signatures.  I have one signature that I need to edit. Everythings seems fine until I quite/restart mail and the old signature is back.  There are actually several old signatures (6 total) and I only need to keep 2 so I delete 4 and edit one.  Eveytime the other 4 old signatures are back and the edit is lost.
    I do use iCloud but have mail turned off - only sync Contacts and Calendars from the basic Mac OS system.
    I have looked all through Mail and System Preferences and can't find anything.
    Can someone tell me what to look for?
    thanks
    bill

    Another interesting point about these returning emails.  If I do a  targeted search by sender, e.g., nytimes.com, the old emails don't turn up in the search results.  And those old emails I had designated as spam (e.g., Dr Oz crap) have also returned.  I'll follow advice about Facebook page.

  • Someone is sending out viruses in my name.  theklamccartneuy38625 is the email that keeps trying to send me messages.  I delete it, but it keeps coming back?  Any suggestions?

    Someone is sending out viruses in my name.  I keep getting a message that "theklamccartney38625" is sending me a message.  I think this is the person that has accessed my system.  What can I do?
    Thanks,

    When this happens, it may not be your system that is sending out the bad emails. They may have picked up your email address from someone else's Address Book and are sending out emails and spam using forged email headers.
    If you or someone you know can get hold of one of the bad emails, view the full headers, and you can sometimes see where it came from. You can try complaining to the ISP that runs that block of addresses.
    You may need to "cut-and-paste" the full headers into a new email and send it to the webmaster of the ISP hosting that block of addresses.

  • How do I delete old email so it does not keep coming back into my inbox?

    I am having so much trouble with my email on the iPad.  I cannot delete it.  It comes right back and floods my inbox.  I have now gone to webmail and removed it from the serve and it STILL comes back.  All the companies that I identified as SPAM with my server and do not come into my iMac inbox all come into my iPad inbox.  It is horrible.  I've tried everything...changing settings, etc. and the problem continues.  The way it is now, the email function is almost useless on my iPad and it really should not be.  I should be able to delete mail and have it stay deleted.

    I've talked to Cox (my ISP) and they say this is the only way it can be set up.  Two different people at the Apple store in this area have said that Cox has an old server and that is causing the problem.  Cox says none of this is their problem,  and they do not deal with the iPad email, only the iMac email.
    I just noticed that the trash on my iPad was filled with the mail that keeps coming back.  I deleted it...which I had never done because I didn't even know it was there. Nothing more has come back into the inbox (this could be purely accident, but it is the first time I've had an inbox with fewer than 24 old emails).  Should I be deleting the mail from the iPad trash every day?  Is there a setting for it to empty automatically..or does this not have anything to do with the problem?
    I also did change the settings to add the 'west' but that probably doesn't matter.
    Thanks for your help. The email is such a problem that I hardly bother using the iPad.  I'd really like to get it fixed.
    Also should it be on 'push' or 'fetch?'
