How to eliminate Duplicate Email Messages in my Hotmail account

I've noticed that sometimes when I'm checking my Hotmail inbox on my phone I will have duplicate emails of some messages (but not all). Sometimes it will be 2, 3, 4, or even 5 copies of the exact same message (the number seems to vary depending on the day). Sometimes the duplicates are on a string of messages all from the same time frame while other times I only get a single copy of my emails. I can't seem to figure out the pattern of when I get the duplicates. The only thing I am starting to suspect is that perhaps it has something to do with going from one WiFi to another or from WiFi to the 4G network (that maybe it is downloading the messages each time my phone gets on a different network??) Does anyone know how to fix this so I don't get duplicates on my phone? I don't see the duplicates in the Hotmail account Inbox when I log in from my computer, just on my phone.
Also I can't seem to get to the settings like I could on my Droid X where I could indicate that I want to delete the messages from the Inbox if I delete them on my phone. Is it hidden somewhere or is there a trick to making that work? I don't like having to manage my Inbox in TWO places. I'd like to be able to delete it either on my phone or on my computer and have that message deleted in both places.

Are you using the stock e-mail app? If so, try going to your e-mail, then clicking the gear (for Settings). In your Hotmail account, scroll until you find the Incoming Settings, then change Delete E-mail From Server to your preference.

How to stop duplicate email messages

I continue to get TWO of every single incoming email. How do I stop these duplicate email messages?

good morning beryl
What email 'provider'? If Hotmail (or other provider), see Csound's 'Helpful' reply in Sent items show twice on MAIL (IMAP) and read on in that thread.

How can I stop emails deleting on my hotmail account

Hi
My iphone 4 is set up to deliver my hotmail emails to my phone. The actions I take on my phone (e.g., deleting an email) are being replicated in my hotmail account on the server. I appreciate this is no bad thing except that both myself and my wife use the email account, hence there can be emails that I don't see because it has been deleted by my wife. This has only been hapening over the last 2-3 months. Prior to this, the actions taken on the phone did not affect the hotmail account on the server.
Can anybody advise if / how I can continue to receive emails to my phone, but the fact that I read or delete them not affect the main server?
Thanks in advance.
Lee

Thank you for your response. How do I set up as a POP mail account, as opposed to some other type of account? Thanks in advance.

How can eliminate duplicate emails with mail forwarders?

On 10.6 server.
We have multiple users complaining about getting two copies of some emails when the emails are sent to both their individual accounts and the group forwarder account that is also on the server. Is there any way to eliminate this or am I stuck? Is there some kind of group email in WGM or postfix? Are there options somewhere for "remove to and cc from distribution" like options for forwarders?
Thanks.

Duplicate Email Messages Mail 4.3

Greetings,
I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.4 and using the built-in Mac Mail client 4.3. I subscribe to MobileMe and have my primary mail alias and second mail alias. I use server based rules to manage my inbox.
For the past few weeks, I've been getting duplicate email messages in my inbox.
I have googled this and most of the articles that come back are dated.
Has any one else experienced this?
It has been working fine for months.
I have tried rebuilding my mailbox and have not noticed a difference.
Thank-you,
Derrick

This problem just started-up for me, too. Same Mac mail client; Snow Leopard. I have no rules set. I have two imap accounts feeding the client; only one is misbehaving with the duplicate generation. Need a solution!

Email messages from my icloud account update on all my devices showing if they have been read and if a reply has been sent. This does not happen with my tinyworld (TalkTalk) email account. Can I (how can I) get this to work with TinyWorld?

You have to look at the email protocol being used. the Apple email system uses IMAP, does Tinyworld use IMAP or POP?
Does the email system permit delivery receipts to be requested?
Just some of the things one needs to determine from the information provided by the email service provider.

If it's going into Mail you'll need to do a work around, it's not a "straight" transfer unless you buy a 3rd party application called Outlook2Mac.

How do I delete email messages so that they stop "bouncing" back and forth between my devices?

How do I delete email messages so that they stop "bouncing" back and forth between my Macbook, ipad, and iphone?

Hi ST,
The first screen shot is the left (main) screen after I moved CS6 to the right screen (second screen shot). As you can see the CS6 panels are in front of MS Word. If I click in the Word document they go behind Word. If I switch over to on the right screen the panels reappear but in front of Word again. So I either have to switch back and forth between the two screens if I want to work in CS6 or manually movee the panels over to the Right Screen. It is rather awkward to have to do that. Make sense?

How can I send email from my yahoo alias account in iPhone5 mail?

How can I send email from my yahoo alias account in iPhone5 mail?
I have 2 email accounts: [email protected] is an alias of [email protected]
In my old iPhone3 I had these accounts set up so that I could send and receive email from both accounts. I did this using the following settings:
‘Other’ POP account info:
Name: xyz
Address: [email protected]
Description: alias
Incoming mail server:
Host name: pop.mail.yahoo.com
User name: [email protected]
Password: password for yahoo account
Server port: 995
Outgoing mail server:
SMTP: smtp.o2.co.uk (o2 is the name of my phone network)
Server port: 25
‘Yahoo!’ account info:
Name: xyz
Address: [email protected]
Password: password for yahoo account
Description: Yahoo!
Outgoing mail server:
Primary server: Yahoo! SMTP server
Server port: 465
I’ve tried using the same settings in my new iPhone5, but it doesn’t work. I can receive mail to both accounts, and can send from the Yahoo account, but I cannot send mail from the alias account. When I try, it displays the message: “Cannot send mail. A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The recipient ‘[email protected]’ was rejected by the server”.
I’ve tried to configure the POP alias account using combinations of ‘pop.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ and ‘apple.pop.mail.yahoo.com’, for the incoming host, and ‘smtp.o2.co.uk’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com’ and ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the outgoing mail server. None of these have worked.
I’ve also tried setting it up using IMAP instead of POP without success. I tried configuring it using combinations of ‘imap.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘imap.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ and ‘apple.imap.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the incoming mail server and ‘smtp.o2.co.uk’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com’ and ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the outgoing mail server.
Yahoo say that if I can't send Yahoo! Mail from my mail program, I may be accessing the Internet through an ISP that is blocking the SMTP port, and that if this is the case, I should try setting the SMTP port number to 587 when sending email via Yahoo!'s SMTP server. I don't think that this is the problem, but I tried it just to make sure - without success.
I’ve also heard that the problem might have something to do with the SPF settings of my alias domain provider. I’m not too sure exactly what SPF settings are, or how to change them, but from what I can gather it seems unlikely that this is the problem given that I was able to send mail from my alias account on my old iPhone3.
Any help much appreciated: how can I get my alias account to send emails in iPhone5 mail?
Many thanks,
Patrick

A new development: I've tried sending emails from the alias several times over the past 24 hours, but in general I've deleted them if they haven't sent within about half an hour.
However, one of the messages I left sitting in the outbox did send successfully in the end, but this took about an hour.
So: perhaps my problem is not in fact that I am completely unable to send mail from my alias, but that I can only do so intermittently and extremely slowly, and by ignoring the "cannot send" message.
Any help appreciated.

I upgraded the software on my iphone 4 and now it's downloading every email message from all my accounts (all previously read). 200 at a time. Manual delete is a problem since there are 3500. Suggestions?

Wow, just posting and it seems that there is a solution that is working for me...
What I've did is I turned off iTunes Match on my iPhone, then turned in on again. Now in my iTunes library on my mac I can get the duplicates to be matched or uploaded to iCloud with a right-click, add to iCloud. iTunes Match starts to check the songs and everything is done correctly. Pretty nice!
