How do I stop duplicate emails in Mail?

Big problem in that every email comes in twice or three times in Mail.
On the left, I have both an Imap mailbox listed and MobileMe mailbox, which seem almost identical except Mobile Me has two drafts folders and a sent folder.
Should I get rid of one of these?
Thanks
Sarah

Hmm. No one answered this. But if anyone else has problems with Mobile Me and Mail then go to:

Click on any of the Get Help categories bottom left and a Chat option will appear so you can get live online help from a rep through the Chat box.

Stop duplicate emails in Mail

How do I stop getting duplicate emails in my sent and draft folders of Mail? When I send or save an email to drafts it replicates the email mutiple times (sometimes as many as 20 times) in the respective folder. This only happens on my Mac Book Pro and not my Mac Pro.
Thanks for the help!!

How do I delete duplicate emails in Mail 6.2?

I imported emails from thunderbird, realising I have hundreds of duplicates. Have you any idea how to remove duplicates in Mail 6.2? I tried Mail Scripts but they are not working with Mac OS 10.8.
Thanks!

Are the duplicates in the same directory? One way to do this would be to use a UNIX shell script, which could compare each of the email files, identify duplicates and delete them.
If you are feeling adventurous, there is a thread in a forum (http://forums.devshed.com/unix-help-35/bash-script-to-find-and-get-rid-of-duplic ate-files-184849.html) that has a pretty interesting looking script at the end. It does and md5 sum on each file (which should always be the same for identical emails), and then deletes the second file. (Actually the deleteing bit is commented out, it just prints what it would do if you remove the '#' before the "rm".
The principle looks good - but I cannot vouch for it at all!
Cheers,
Rodney
p.s. PLEASE back up before trying anything.

How to remove duplicate emails in Mail

Does anyone know if a good app that works in Lion that will help me remove duplicate emails in Mail? There are some options on the web that I've found but they don't seem to work with Lion.

I have found a very satisfactory solution to eliminating my duplicates in Apple Mail, which is to stop using it and switch to Thunderbird.
There's lots that I like better in Apple Mail, but Thunderbird is light-years more flexible in managing your email than is Apple Mail, because Thunderbird is an open platform with excellent Add-ons available, which include the nifty Remove Duplicate Messages: http://bit.ly/tbird-dups. It is stupid that Apple Mail hides duplicate messages in the background & won't allow users to search and destroy them. Frustrating!
As a prologue to that, you need the TB import export Add-on: http://bit.ly/tbirdimportexport
Managing my mail locally on my Mac was a huge project for me, involving integrating tens of thousands of emails. Mail was from gmail, yahoo, and many years of Outlook PST files.
Now that the project is complete, I'm very happy with Thunderbird to manage my email archives. Though I actually would prefer the Lion Apple Mail interface for day to day use, it just isn't flexible enough.

How to delete the duplicate email address in BP master data

In CRM you can create the same BP with different id. I would like to know how to delete the email address during importing email addresses from the third party tool.
During the campaign you are sending email to all your customers, when the customer want to unsubscibe the email address from your list, how to unsubcribe the email address and how to updat the BP master data.
If you are sending the email to customer, you are using html or simple text, if the customer wants only html or simple text, how you to specify in the system?
thanks,
arul

Hello Arul,
welcome to the SDN CRM Development forum.
1. I think you should clear the data with duplicate E-Mail adresses in the external tool.
2. Unsubscription could be done by a Marketing Attribute which could be set by using a Target Group which is created by Campaign Automation. Have a look at this Toppic. There is also a Best Practice avaliable at http://help.sap.com/bp_crmv340/CRM_DE/index.htm.
3. Also HTML or Simple text can be mained in a Marketing Attribute. You have to use different Mail Forms to which are sent to different Target groups.
Regards
Gregor

How do I stop the EMAIL sync between my desktop and my laptop?

How do I stop the email sync between my desktop computer and my laptop? Right now, the laptop is set to automatically load my email when I click on mail. I use my desktop daily; laptop only when traveling. The laptop is somehow set to receive ALL messages, so I get messages that are several weeks/months old. I want to be able to manually sync and NOT have all of the hundreds of old, already viewed messages sent to my laptop. However, I DO want my desktop to receive all of my old messages so that I can have them when I return from traveling. Thanks.

Actually, your mail isn't 'synchronizing' in the conventional sense at all. And, you are effectively trying to make it do so manually at the present time. As you have discovered, this simply does not work.
The only way that you can effectively address your requirements is to use IMAP—rather than POP3—technology. Using IMAP will allow you to readily control what is stored on the server, and will provide a view into that data store when you use your portable computer.
While is is possible to use POP3 and set one computer to delete mail from the server and the other not to, this is potentially fraught with problems, and will not fully address your concerns.
An IMAP option is available from such providers as Apple with .Mac, AOL with AOL Mail and AIM Mail, and Google with GMail. You can convert an existing POP3 account with such a provider to IMAP with little difficulty, or initiate a new IMAP account with such a provider and forward mail to it from providers who do not offer such an option.

How do i stop getting emails sent from apple community, any help please

Hi,
how do i stop the emails from Apple support community
any help please!!!

AAAARGGHH - I posted to grumble about the "new" iTunes, [which is still a load of garbage], but cos 100s of people feel the same too, my mailbox is FULL of threads to the post.
I have reset my e-mail preferences to NO for ALL notifications, with a conspicuos lack of success. So i use a junk filter to stop them, but I ain't pleased. Can anyone explain how I can get the system to work right [I know, I can guess what you are thinking, expaecting anything from Apple to be user friendly is a long shot.... but at least on can try!]
Thanks very much!

SOLUTION FOR UNREAD COMCAST MAIL...so far, so good
I went to Comcast.net and created a folder titled "Archive 10-2-13" and then went back into my inbox on the site and clicked the 'select all' box at the top of the email page. I could only see what would fit on my screen, but figured out that if I scrolled ALL the way to the very end (which was a l-o-n-g time for 30,000 emails) and then clicked "move to' at the top of the page and chose "Archive 10-2-13"..all my mail went there and no longer comes up as unread on my iPhone.
I don't know if this will work for other POP accounts (Hotmail, etc.) but HALLELUJAH! I have ZERO unread email messages showing!

The Mail app on the iPad doesn't have any filters/rules that you can set on it - if you log into the account on your provider's website does that allow your to set any ?

Notifications ... how do I stop getting email notifications?

Notifications ... how do I stop getting email notifications? I like this site but now I get 20-50 or more notifications a day in my email. I would rather shut that off and check back on my own now....

Once you've turned off notifications, you won't get new ones. But you still have to cancel the notifications you've been receiving. This thread explains how at the top: https://discussions.apple.com/static/apple/tutorial/email.html

I had thought that I was subscribing to just a single thread but it appears that I'm now being notified about every message in every thread. The last time I logged on I received over 200 messages.
If it doesn't stop I will have to resort to changing my email address.
