How to stop duplicate mail

how to stop duplicating mail

Hi rianmu, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • How to stop Apple Mail reverting to new msgs at bottom?

    Have been having this problem ever since installing Mavericks. AppleCare keeps telling me they will tell me how to stop this and have my new messages at the top again, but still haven't told me. Every day I have to re-set this because it reverts back.  Makes no difference WHERE I re-sent this.
    Having many other AppleMail problems: For one thing, am not receiving some important emails which do show up in Web Mail.

    I have done that countless times. I have also done it countless times at the small place at the top of the emails where it says "Sort By Date."  Neither works at all.  However, yesterday I did the major rebuild of Apple Mail and this morning for the first time when I went there it said "Newest Msg at the Top" so hopefully that was it.

    You can't you either set it up as a new phone and then set up all the settings again and then sync your contacts, calendars and photos. Then manually select the applications you want to include
    OR
    Restore your device using a previous backup

  • How to stop incoming mail?

    Hi!
    I would like to stop *incoming mail* on the iBook G4. All I want is send. Is it possible? I read something about +Server Admin+. I don't know what it is and where to find it. I thought of creating rules for all accounts but I don't know if it's the right way to do it. It is becoming increasingly difficult to manage the mail system through 4 computers.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hmmm, interesting question, only thing I can think of at the moment is in Mail Prefs to wipe out the incoming Mail server and log in, then in Advanced deselect Check this account for incoming mail automatically for this account.
    Perhaps just in advanced, unchecking Remove Mail from Server on all but the Main one, they'll all get it still, until the main Mac does.
    IMAP if available could solve this also.
    EDIT: Took me too long t post, glad you found it though!

  • 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 to stop voice mail password pop up on iphone 5

    How do you stop the voice mail password pop up on the i phone 5?

    Call your carrier & have them reset your voicemail. Then set such up with a password. Voicemail is a carrier feature, not a phone feature & most carriers require a password for such.

  • TS1627 How to Stop Mac Mail from Commandeering My Preferred Email Account

    For email, I prefer my Yahoo and Gmail accounts, but when I click an email address online, my Mac's Mail program automatically comes up, as if I want to use it to send my email. It also starts downloading my latest email. I frantically shut it down while trying to memorize the email address I want to send a message to using another of my accounts. I do this because when Mail downloads my email, the same new messages in my other accounts get changed from "unread" to "read." How do I stop Mail from being my default for outgoing mail when clicking on email addresses found on webpages and commandeering my incoming email?

    Try, after a back up, deleting the account and re-creating it. You can also try contacting Yahoo, I have Yahoo and have had "weird problems with them". Deleting and re-creating has solved my issue in the past, try it and contact them.
    The problem is on their end, in my experience.

  • How to stop junk mail entering my email

    How do I stop junk email from entering my email?

    Apple mail has poor junk mail capabilities.  No matter how many time you flag mail as junk it appears in your inbox as junk.  I have switched to Thunderbird by mozilla and it has great junk mail filters.  It actually remembers what you flag as junk and with the proper rule it removes the mail from your inbox and places it in the junk folder.  It works great for me,

  • How to stop ios mail deleting icloud email from mac mail?

    This is driving me insane.
    I have an icloud email address set up on my iphone and mac mail.
    I want to leave emails on my phone 'on the server'. Read them when i'm out, delete them... come home and have them all come through on mail where i'll deal with them.
    Right now if I delete them on my phone, they're deleted on mac mail also.
    I have all my regular email addresses set up to do this. Except the one icloud address I want to move everything to!!!
    Help!!!

    Hello there David DW,
    It sounds like your iPhone does whatever your iPad does with regard to joining or forgetting a Wi-Fi network. From what you are describing it seems to me that iCloud Keychain is enabled, as this is a function of that feature. The only way to stop what you are seeing from happening is to disable iCloud keychain on one of the devices:
    Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain
    iCloud Keychain keeps your Safari website usernames and passwords, credit card information, and Wi-Fi network information up to date across all of your approved devices that are using iOS 7.0.3 or later or OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later.
    You can do this in your iCloud Settings:
    iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
    On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then tap to turn on or off iCloud features.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • How to stop iOS7 Mail from deleting messages from server?

    Recently I started using an iPhone 5S after over four years with an iPod Touch. The Mail app on the iPhone deletes messages from my server. I do not want it to do this, I cannot find the option to turn off in Settings, and the iOS Mail help page at Apple Support is for an older OS version. Insight and advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I think I figured out a workaround at least.  It appears that the "Power Nap" feature is doing the mail checking.  Although the concise descriptions of Power Nap say it "allows your Mac to do things like periodically check for new mail, calendar, and other iCloud updates" (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5394?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US), it apparently doesn't just allow these actions, it does them -- regardless of your mail settings.  I suspect this is a bug.
    Turning off Power Nap (in the Energy Saver panel in System Preferences) stopped the unwanted mail fetching, but unfortunately that also means that I don't get the benefit of the other activities it does, like Spotlight indexing. There are two places to turn it off, one for the "Battery" tab and one for the "Power Adapter" tab.
    Since Power Nap was introduced with Mountain Lion, but I never had the problem until Mavericks, I assume that either (1) Power Nap was off by default in Mountain Lion but is on by default in Mavericks, or (2) this is another of several Mail problems introduced by Mavericks.
