How to delete gmail IMAP duplicates???

I'm using Apple Mail 3.4 with my gmail account using IMAP. For some reason, Mail is downloading at least two copies of all the emails I receive...1 copy in the inbox and 1 in [gmail]~all mail. It gets even worse if I send an email cause then it puts another one in [gmail]~sent mail.
First, how can I make Mail only download my inbox folder from gmail; and second, how can I safely delete all the duplicates sitting in that [gmail] folder without erasing my entire inbox on gmail.com. (I assume that it would delete everything on gmail.com since I'm using IMAP)
Any ideas?

you can't do anything about allmail folder. that's how gmail IMAP keeps things.
for the sent folder select sent mail folder in gmail section at the bottom, go to mailbox menu->"use this mailbox for" and set it to be used for sent mailbox for gmail.

  • How to delete gmail messages in Mail for Mac

    I am using Mail 7.3 on my Macbook Pro with Mavericks 10.9.5.
    I use Gmail for my email.
    When I DELETE a message in Gmail it goes into the Gmail Archive (and stays in the All Mail folder)- it does NOT get Deleted.
    Gmail help says I need to drag each message to the Trash when using Mail as Delete will not work.
    Really?
    This is a drag to do, besides there is no Trash folder.
    I have a 'Bin' folder and a 'Deleted Messages' folder so I'm trying to use them.
    Still for Mail and Gmail not to be compatible for Delete seems crazy.
    I have tried changing the Mailbox Behaviours in Preferences but it seems to make no difference.

    I Wonder if your sitting there laughing at us as if there is some big conspiracy about selecti all and deleting all from our iPhones and iPads.
    The conspiracy.
    Why can we not just not select all in the mail inbox and then delete all, if we do not want to delete every single one of them then deselect the few that we do not want to delete instead of having to select the thousands we do want delete individually. 
    And if you do make a mistake and delete the wrong emails by selecting all, then go to your trash and reinstate the ones you did not want to delete 
    I think 99% of us know how to DELETE emails individually, as you put it.
    That's just sarcasm and if not then then your not fully understanding the question asked.
    I would also say that probably 99% of us want to be able to select all and delete all if that's what we desire.
    I would just like a honest answer of why we cannot select all delete all rather than giving me a load of rubbish about encase we delete something we didn't want to delete.

  • Mail and Gmail IMAP: duplicates in sent folder

    Hi there,
    I recently set up my Gmail account for IMAP and configured Mail.app accordingly. I have several mail accounts which all get directed over my Gmail account. It all works fine, but whenever I send a mail from Mail.app from one of my mail accounts, it appears twice in my sent folder in Mail.app (it's not sent twice, I checked that, and it appears normally in the sent folder of the web interface).
    It's seriously clucttering my sent folder, does anybody have an idea how to fix this? Maybe a problem with labels?
    Help greatly appreciated,
    J

    Anyone? No idea?

  • How to delete unwanted or duplicate pictures from photos

    Trying to organize photos into albums. In doing so want to delete duplicate photos or unwanted photos. Also since I've re-organized pictures into different albums I would like to eliminate older albums.  Is this possible and if so how. I've purchased several softwares but they don't help with old pictures downloaded over a yr ago. I think this can be done through ITunes but don't know how to access for this purpose. Can you recommend best way to edit pictures and albums?

    If you are reorganizing pictures that have been synced from the computer to the phone, any adjustments to those pictures has to be done on the computer and then synced back to the phone. The only photos that you can delete on the phone itself are ones that are in the Camera Roll.
    Unless you have synced duplicate pictures, I think you may be referring to the fact there are pictures in an album and also in a folder that was called Pictures Library. The library folder no longer exists under iOS 7. All photo management for photos that have been synced should be handled on the computer, and then changes synced to the phone. This syncing is done in the Photos tab of iTunes.

  • Gmail IMAP - Duplicate Accounts in Mail

    Hello all-
    I found a similar discussion about this a couple weeks ago but was unable to find a solution. I enabled the IMAP function on my Gmail account, and it works fine. However, I now have two Gmail folders that seem to act independently of each other. One Gmail folder is found in the big Inbox folder and another is found in a folder marked with an @ globe. If I delete an e-mail in the big folder, it's still in the globe folder. I have the same issue with sent e-mails, which means I'm having to delete all my e-mails twice. Is there a way to have my inbox, sent, etc. e-mails in one place?

    check out this page and see if it works:

  • How to delete an IMAP email account before I give computer to relative?

    I plan to give my G4 to a relative and am unable to delete my .Mac IMAP email account from this machine. I have gone to the Mail preferences panel under Accounts. Pressing the minus key apparently deletes this account, but when I restart the computer the account is back listing all messages in my inbox.
    I have found a folder with a name beginning with IMAP followed by some version of my name (I don't recall exactly where this folder was). I deleted this folder, but my account is back after a restart.
    I still use this email account on another computer that I plan to keep. Can someone tell me what else I have to do to get this active email account off of the machine I plan to give away?

    Not sure I understand what your problem is. Why don't you just wipe out the entire ~/Library/Mail folder and the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist preferences file?
    Actually, I don't understand why don't you do an Erase and Install of Mac OS X. Why are you concerned about your mail account only, and not about the rest of your data?

  • How to delete Gmail contacts from SIM import

    Hi,
    I just picked up an iPhone 6 today. I had a Nexus 4 prior, and they rep at the store asked me if I wanted to transfer my contacts over to the iPhone. I said yes, please transfer. Well, I now have over 700 contacts. The way the clerk imported the contacts ended up carrying over every email address I had on the phone, not just my 'contacts' with phone numbers etc. Is there any quick way to undo this without spending hours deleting them one by one? This happened prior to me ever syncing anything with gmail. I had not even set up my Google/gmail account on the new iPhone when I walked out of the store...I already had the 700+ 'contacts' when I walked out.

    Ok so managed to fix the contacts double up by tackling that in Outlook, where it had stored phone contacts separately, but still no luck on the calendar sync. Any suggestions?

  • Multiple gmail accounts in mail.app via IMAP - how to delete messages

    multiple gmail accounts in mail.app via IMAP - how to delete messages so that they are not stored on gmail and not in All Mail therefore either.
    i know that dragging messages to the GMail.Trash folder deletes it in Gmail, but doing that for multiple accounts is a hassle!
    anybody else struggle with this, solved it?

    i have still not figured out a solution to this. very painful - the fact that messages iwill not be using ever again and with large attachments, just sit there in all mails and slow down mail.app for me, fill up search results with stuff i don't want to see and fill up space on the HDD. the attachments as a result often are stored 3-4 times on the HDD!
    some geek here must have solved it - come on!

  • I have accidentally deleted my IMAP password from my key chain, therefore i can no longer access my emails using mail.  I can access my email through my Gmail account no problem, so how do i fix this as i cannot remember my IMAP password.

    I have accidentally deleted my IMAP password from my key chain, as a result i cannot access my google email using the Mac Mail.  I cannot remember what the password was for IMAP, so can anyone help to resolve this.  i can access my mail by going directly to Google Mail.
    Regards JKG1135

    The password for use in the Mail application would be the same password you use when accessing Gmail by using an internet browser. The exception to that would be if you have 2-step verification enabled for Gmail. If that is the case then you would need to use an "application-specific password." If you are using 2-step, you can revoke the previous application-specific password and get a new one as described in https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1173270?hl=en

  • How to delete mail saved in profiles from imap accounts no longer in use.

    I have been trying to transfer old e-mail from a closed G-mail account to a new one. The messages from the closed account are downloaded on my computer (MacBook Pro w/ Mavericks 10.9.4). I need to move them to an on-line account; i.e., a new G-mail account. This has been a trial and error process, during which I have had to use a couple of different G-mail accounts, because the methods I used to copy messages failed. I've now found a method that works, using the Thunderbird "copy to" function (the "copy folder" add-on never worked for me). So I am transferring the messages 500 to 1000 at a time. The problem is that during my prior attempts to copy or transfer, Thunderbird downloaded the messages. So now I have multiple partial copies of the original e-mails saved on the computer. My Thunderbird profile shows saved mail from 4 e-mail accounts. I want to get rid of 3 of these, including the original downloaded account, leaving only the download associated with the G-mail account to which I am successfully copying the messages. How do I do this? Can I edit the profile to delete the imap.googlemail-x.com and the associated msf file? I have already de-linked two of the temporary accounts from Thunderbird, but the downloaded mail is still there. Thanks for any insights.

  • How can I stop my iPad deleting gmails from their servers?

    I have an iMac and Mail with which I have happily been downloading mail from some gmail accounts.  I have the setting "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message" unchecekd so, as I want, downloaded messages remain available on the gmail servers.
    However, now I have an iPad, I find that when that downloads an email from gmail, it deletes the server copy - which I do not want.
    But I can't find any setting on the iPad where I can stop this happening!
    The only work-round I can think of is to stop downloading gmails to my iPad, which rather defeats the purpose of having a mobile device!
    How can I ensure that copies remain on gmails servers unles and until I deliberately delete them?
    Thanks.

    Thanks, Diavonex, but that is already On and my iPad panel looks just like yours.  Is it possible that what I think is deletion is in fact merely the gmails moving somewhere else that I have yet to discover?
    I have been thinking about this, and I may be able to add more information which might help with a diagnosis.
    The accounts affected are IMAP accounts.  Now I confess here that I have no real idea what IMAP/POP accounts are, but it may be relevant.
    Also, on the iMac most if not all gmail emails get passed directly into user defined folders using Mail's Rules, so virtually none remain in my inbox.  Nor, for that matter, do I ever delete gmail emails off the iMac unless they are clearly junk.
    On the iPad, however, things are different.
    I do not use the iPad as my main device, and I use the emails received thereon for general review only, any real responses or work arising is done later back on the iMac.
    So, when I have read emails on the iPad, unless they require action before I get back home to the iMac, I tend to read - and then delete them.  They move to the iPad's Trash where they remain until I decide to have a purge of old deleted emails and then delete them from Trash.
    Could that be what is happening?  Is the act of deleting them off the iPad, either into Trash or later from Trash itself, be the cause of them being deleted from the gmail servers?
    Would setting Rules on the iPad (if indeed that is possible) so that gmails go direct into a folder other than my In-Box be a possible solution?
    A solution would also be, I suppose, not to download gmails to the iPad, but that would defeat the object of having a tablet, even though I use it more for information rather then action!

  • Deleted e-mails come back using a GMail IMAP account

    I have Mail 4.1 on SnowLeopard, just configured it with a Gmail IMAP account and received all my 7000+ (yeah, you've read that right, sever THOUSAND plus) emails. Now I would like to delete them, I do so, I close the app and when I launch it back the emails are downloaded again.
    I did a little research and double-check the settings as Google recommends for their IMAP config with Mail app (although their configs are for Mail 3.0):
    Trash:
    Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox > do NOT check
    Store deleted messages on the server > do NOT check
    I still get them back, those buggers. it is very annoying.
    After more research I found some recommendation to delete the com.apple.mail.plist which I did, i rebuild email box and still get the same results (deleting mails, quitting the app and when I launch again I get the deleted massages back).
    Is this a problem with Mail 4? It don't recall having it with Mail 3 on Leopard. And I don't recall seeing it as a known bug. What is going on?

    I don't know how to edit a previous post, therefore I am posting a reply to myself (grin). I went back to my MacBookPro (with Leopard) and created a brand new user account and configured Mail (different version then the one on Snow Leopard, right?) and I get the same crap: I delete the email and is coming back a few seconds later or upon the re-launch of the Application. Again, the settings are:
    Gmail IMAP account
    Do not save the deleted messages on the server
    Delete upon quitting mail
    It is very frustrating. On the MBP I am using Entourage and I didn't want to use any Microsoft products on the new iMac (turns out to be obsolete since yesterday). I seems like I am stuck in the Microsoft World though; how sad!

  • How to delete the duplicate email address in BP master data

    Hi,
    When  you get an email ids from the third party vendor and you are loading into CRM BP master data.  how to delete the duplicate email address already exits in the system.  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 to delete duplicate records in cube

    Hi,
    can u help me how to delete the duplicate records in my cube
    and tell me some predifined cubes and data sourcess for MM and SD modules

    Hi Anne,
    about "duplicate records" could you be more precise?.
    The must be at least one different Characteristic to distinguish one record from the other (at least Request ID). In order to delete Data from InfoCubes (selectively) use ABAP Report RSDRD_DELETE_FACTS (be carefull it does not request any confirmation as in RSA1 ...).
    About MM and SD Cubes see RSA1 -> Business Content -> InfoProvider by InfoAreas. See also for MetadataRepository about the same InfoProviders.
    About DataSources just execute TCode LBWE in you source sys: there you see all LO-Cockipt Extrators.
    Hope it helps (and if so remember reward points)
