This is a little screen shot of it.
I am new to mail. And I have it set up with Gmail and IMAP. And every so often it keeps sending me back my deleted messages. At first it was 2000 message lots. And as the screen shot in the link shows. One time it wanted to send me 8000 messages. I just want my deleted messages to stay deleted. From Mail, from Gmail, from everything. But they don't seem to want to stay deleted. I don't know if I have det up anything wrong. But it's pretty frustrating.
If anyone can help me I'll be really appreciative.

They are being sent to the All Mail folder. The inbox is pretty much unaffected.
I don't want to hide the All Mail folder and forget about it. I am after the messages gone forever. Especially from the All Mail folder.
I'm the kind of person who uses email like sms. I use it to contact people annd delete 95% of the messages after reading. I don't want them archived. I don't want them stored in the All Mail folder. I want them totally gone.
And yes it seems Mail is downloading all my messages over and over. So my question is how to stop the messages being stored/archived and to instead be totally deleted.
In the gmail settings I found:
Auto-Expunge off - Wait for the client to update the server.
When a message is marked as deleted and expunged from the last visible IMAP folder: Immediately delete the message forever. Instead of archiving it like I had set before. I'm not 100% sure if that'll fix the issue I am having. I'm sure you'll be able to tell me if I am on the right track.
And thanks for the quick reply.

Sounds like your phone has the jitters.
This is sometimes caused when a DLL fle is missing when you restore, so the ipsw pacakge wasn't installed corectly.
You could back up and restore, but if it doesn't help go to http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ and then download the same firmware your on.
Open up iTunes and hold Shift+Restore and select that firmware, you can't use anoy ther firmwares though.
Hope this helped

Over and over again: port scan TCP issuing from my mac. How can I stop this

I have set our router to send me an alarm whenever it is attacked.
I have noticed before that when I use Google Maps, Google Earth, Google's Picasa my mac attacks other IP's with a port scan TCP.
As of this morning my mac has startet to attack our router about every minute, and none of the above applications ist running.
How can I get this to stop?

I'm experiencing a similar issue with some of the systems I support at a University. One was issuing tons of outbound ICMP requests to address 0.0.0.0 and another was port scanning a (seemingly) random name server. The systems themselves are behind a pretty aggressive firewall, as far as inbound traffic goes. Any thoughts?

Probably your Mac cannot understand the Windows html format, please try the following to see if it helps:
In your PC, export the bookmarks in html as you did in your post. After you have saved it, change the name of the file to “bookmarks.html” and save it again.
In your Mac, import the saved file as you posted.

E-mailing keeps sending same e-mail over and over again

I keep getting the same two e-mails over and over again. Even though I delte them they keep coming back with the orginal time and date. They ahve compe back over 150 times now. I've shut my computer down, waited over night but it doesn't make a difference. The two e-mails keep coming over and over.
Any suggestions? Thank you

You’re welcome.
You may tell Mail to remove from the server all the messages that have already been downloaded doing Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove now. Alternatively, you may use the Account Info window to remove specific messages from the server; to use that feature, choose Get Info (⌘I) from the Action menu (gear icon) located below the mailboxes list in the main Mail window.

When I send e-mail messages with file by using a POP3 in Exchange 2010 I received delivered message with file. How I can disable this functions that file do not include to delivery message. I use Exchange 2010 only local users.

I think there is not native rule for this, but you could try a transport rule which removes all attachments over a very small file size like 1KB.

How can i prevent mail from downloading the same messages over and over again?

is there any way to prevent Mail from downloading the same messages over and over again? Mail has a minimum of "50 recent messages" to download, but i hate having to delete them every time i check for new mail! why doesn't the program remember if you have already downloaded a message, and suppress any subsequent downloads???

Same issue since Mavericks.

Mail shuts down and opens again... over and over and over...

My mail program shuts down and then automatically re-opens itself.
Even if I force quit, the mail program just starts up again.
This happens over and over again. The only solution is to reboot.
However, after a number of hours of usage, this problem repeats itself.
Does this sound like a virus? Or, an error in the program?
Has anyone else ever experienced this?
If so, any way to repair it?
Thanks!

You probably have a piece of software (e.g. a Dashboard widget or a system utility) that requires Mail to be running for whatever it does.

How to stop mail from recovering the same message over and over again to the extent that it has wiped out all start up disk memory?

How to stop mail from recovering the same message over and over again to the extent that it has wiped out all start up disk memory?

You need to find and delete (move to the Trash) the offline mail cache (.offline cache.) It's a hidden folder (files and folders with a preceding dot are hidden) inside the Mail folder (inside IMAP) in your user library. Since it's hidden, in order to see it run the following command in Terminal in Applications>Utilities. Hit return/enter once you have pasted in the command.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true ; killall Finder
To reverse this and hide all those hidden files and folders again
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false ; killall Finder
Leave hidden files/folders enabled until you finish emptying the Trash so you know it's gone.

I have 2 hotmail accounts on my mail, when I send from one account I receive the reply in my other account, how can I stop this from happening?

I have 2 hotmail accounts in my Mac Mail, when I send from one account the reply comes back to the other hotmail account, how can I stop this?

You should be able to open both accounts.
I believe Hotmail T&C may expect you to have only one account, but possibly multiple alliases.
You may have problems opening two separate hotmail accounts at once in Firefox. Try using a new private browsing window for the second one. With any look that will separate them enough for you to use both at once.
(With other account holders permission.) I sometimes open my own and another persons hotmail account by that method.
