How do I get rid of a ton of old reimported email from the Mail App?

I was having an sync issue with a particular email address, it wasn't getting the emails forwarded from GMail into my Apple Mail account, so I followed the directions I got from apple.com
"Go to your home Library folder, then to the Mail folder and remove the “DefaultCounts”, “Envelope Index” and the “LSMMap” files."
"The next time you start up Apple Mail it should ask you to reimport all messages and it will rebuilt the index."
So, before I could use the Apple Mail, I had to let it reimport all messages and rebuild the index, which I did. Now, I did notice it was reimporting well over hundreds of thousands of files. Not sure if they were emails or what, but it took a long time to rebuild.
Now after, the email address was able to forward or "push" the email to my Mail program. Problem fixed. But hours later I looked at my available harddrive space and noticed I only 80GB's availble when before I have 224GB's of Harddrive space available on my 500GB home drive.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm not 100% sure if this is the problem, but there's no other explanation I can come up with because I didn't import anything or install anything else on my computer that day, especially that big.

3rd party email addresses have to be deleted on every synmced mac product, although I have 1and1.co.uk and my imac updatetes the mails in that account from mac mail.
Yahoo etc is a 2 step deleting process but good to get your emails pushed when on the go.

  • I deleted my old Email account because I wanted to create a new one, and I did. However, when ever I send an Email from the Mail app on my laptop it says the Email was sent from my old Email and I just can not get rid of it.

    I deleted my old Email and only used my new Email to set up the Mail app on my laptop. And the old Email is completely dead, hotmail.com says the Email no longer excists when I try to sign back in to it however my Emails remain saying 'Sent from Jordan [*old Email*].
    I can't find a solution!!

    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • My iPhone 5c won't send iMessages, snapchats, email from the Mail app, and it won't load YouTube. Other internet apps like Pandora and Instagram work fine though. Any suggestions on how I can fix this?

    A couple days ago I first noticed the problem when snapchats would appear on my lock screen but when I opened the app I kept getting the error message that the app was not able to refresh my story. Then the next day I was no longer able to send iMessages, they wouldn't go through and would only reach the second party when I sent them as text messages. Also, YouTube won't load and Mail won't send or receive email. I've already tried restarting my phone but there was no change. At first I thought my network connection was the problem but Instagram, Safari, Vine and Pandora all work perfectly. Any suggestions?

    Try this procedure to be sure of a proper restart.
    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
    I would also try: Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings

  • How to enlarge when composing an email within the Mail app?

    How to zoom-in (enlarge, make look bigger) when composing an email in the Mail app?
    I am not interested in changing the resolution (which I am happy with).  For the most part I can just use Command and the "+" key when I cannot see something to enlarge the font, especially that of web pages.  This is also valid for reading incoming emails in the Mail app, too.  However, when I compose emails this functionality does not work.  I know I can actually increase the font but then I have to remember to decrease it before sending it (ridiculous step which one can easily forget about).  I know I can also transfer into Notes or Word but this is just extra unnecessary work.
    Is there a solution to this, so that I can only rely on the Mail application?
    Many thanks in advance!

    Howdy Lavi,
    It sounds as if what you want to do can be accomplished by using the Zoom control, one of the Mac operating system's Accessibility features. Using it you can quickly and easily make content either on the entire screen or just a small window larger and easier to see without affecting how the screen resolution or how the email will look when it is sent. See this article for Accessibility features -
    OS X Mavericks: Use accessibility features
    This article explains how to set up Zoom in System Preferences -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • I want to switch stores from Japan to USA. I used to have an iTunes card, and there's 15 YEN left in my account, how can I get rid of that so I can start purchasing in the US store using my new credit card?

    I can't seem to find an app that costs my available balance. iTunes said I need to spend it ALL before I can change stores. This means I cannot totally change stores.... Hopeless.

  • How can I get rid of promotional ads that are preventing me from expanding my email folders?

    Today for the first time, I am getting two promotion ads that regularly change, on the left side of my screen when I am in email, right where my expanded folders normally appear. I tried "expand" and just get a tiny line at the top of these ads with one or two expanded folders named. How can I get rid of these promotion ads?

    You can install the AdblockPlus add-on, and subscribe to a filter list.

  • How do I get rid of "unreadable files" when I am importing from my camera?

    How do I get rid of "unreadable files" when I am importing from my camera?

    Are all images unreadable? What is the exact error message you are getting?
    If only a few images are unreadable, try to import not all photos at once, but in smaller batches, until you know, which photo it is that cannot be read. Import all photos that can be read and reformat your card in the camera to remove the unreadable files.
    But if all photos are unreadable, try, if Image Capture can read your card.
    Is it a new camera? Have you been able to import from that camera before?

    you mean at system preferences?
    No. Finder has its own preferences.
    I cannot find the finders advanced preferences
    Click the Finder icon in the dock, click "Finder" in the menu bar, then "Preferences", then the "Advanced" tab.

    how do i get rid of my first apple id when i bought the phone

    I don't think this is the easiest way. Have you concidered creating a new account and just... ignoring the last one? If this idea is not to your liking, just simply ring up apple. From what I know, you cannot cancel and account, but, I think that apple might be able to.

    If restoring to the previous state from backup isn't an option (hopefully it is), it may be easier to try to resolve what is causing problems. It's possible that some incompatible software you have installed is messing with the smooth running of your Mac.
    Can you describe more fully what problems you are experiencing? You could also run EtreCheck and post the contents of its report here - it may reveal the cause as there is some software 'out there' that is known to create problems: http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck

    Someone is probably sending spam with your address forged on the To: line.  Could be one of your old contacts with a Windows machine has a virus that's doing it.  It's also possible your e-mail account has been hacked, though I'd think such a hacker would be a bit more purposeful.
