Mac Mail downloading archived, deleted and trash email from my Gmail account.

I just purchased a new MacBook Pro Retina - retiring my old MacBook. When I synced Gmail with my Mac Mail all archived/deleted Gmail is coming in like new into my Mac Mail Inbox. This was never the case before. Any idea how to stop this? It's downloading thousands of emails in the order I received them.

Turns out a hard reset did the trick

  • My mail app has deleted the trash folder from my hotmail account.

    This afternoon my mail app started saying unable to send to trash. I'm baffled, as I haven't touched any settings and up until today I have had no issues with the mail app. I keep my trash empty so that negates the only fix I could find while researching the problem. I tried to go to the specific hotmail account and there appears to be only inbox and drafts listed. Any suggestions?

  • TS3899 On a 5C, how do I delete and trash emails to where they remain deleted? Every time I check emails it gives me the prior day's too even though they've already been dumped. Highly annoying!

    On a 5C, how do I delete and trash emails to where they remain deleted? Every time I check emails it gives me the prior day's too even though they've already been dumped. Highly annoying!

    Settings/Mail,contacts,calendars. Tap on the name of the account. Tap Advanced. Tap Remove after one day.
    Also, do not try to read or delete messages while they are downloading. Wait until they finish and the phone beeps to confirm. If you delete messages before the mail retrieval session finishes they will not be removed from the server.

  • How can I delete all my email from my outlook account without deleting the account?

    I am trying to delete the many emails from my outlook account which I can bring up on my ipad mini.  I want to keep the outlook email on the ipad.  So far all I have been able to do is bring up the email list, touch edit, then touch each email then move to trash.  I have a lot of email and would like to delete them all at once.  Thanks for any assistance!

    The Apple instructions state:
    Edit a mailbox.
    While viewing a list of messages, tap Edit. Select certain messages or tap Mark All, then:
    Tap Mark to Flag, Mark as Read or Move to Junk
    Tap Move to move selected messages into a mailbox
    Tap Trash to move them to the trash
    If you make a mistake, shake iPhone immediately to undo.
    Unfortunately, the MOVE and the Trash buttons never activate ... is there a fix for this or is this an oversight?

  • TS3899 In my iPad 2 with IO6 today I can not send emails from my gmail account, they go to the outbox directly...why? How can i solve this problem? ..I restarted the IPad but the problem was not solved. Please help.

    In my iPad 2 with IO6 today I can not send emails from my gmail account, they go to the outbox directly...why? How can i solve this problem? ..I restarted the IPad but the problem was not solved. Please help.

    Greetings,
    Questions:
    1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
    2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
    3. Do you use MobileMe/ iCloud or another server based sync solution like Google or Yahoo?
    4. Do other changes to synced information like Address Book content sync successfully back and forth?
    Based on your description it sounds like you have a 1 way sync issue.  Events sync fine between the iOS devices and fine from the computer to the iOS devices but not from the iOS devices to the computer.
    Try:
    Backup your computer and iOS devices before doing anything else:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Ensure all the devices in use are fully up to date: Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update
    Make separate backups of critical data:
    Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
    Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966
    Reset syncing on your Mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    Reply back if that does not resolve your issue.
    Hope that helps.

  • Sending emails from my Gmail account set up in Outlook 2007

    Ever since I have signed up for Fios, I have been unable to send emails from my  Gmail account I have set up  in Outlooks.  I have tried changing the outbound port from 25 to others to no avail.  Can anyone please help?
    thanks

    -My incoming mail works fine, and my account type is set to IMAP & incoming server is IMAP as well - will that screw things up?
    -I changed the settings on the outgoing servers to match exactly the directions at the google website instructions you linked me to, and I get the following error:
    "Send test e-mail message: Outlook cannot connect to your outgoing (SMTP) server.  If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP)."
    IMAP or POP on the incoming shouldn't make any difference for outging. If it's working, don't mess with it.
    I looked at the page for IMAP settings as well, and they still say smtp.gmail.com on port 587 with TLS enabled and authenticate with same settings as incoming.
    Do you have any security software installed? Some of those programs run a scan on outgoing messages that can cause a timeout. Try temporarily disabling your security software to see if that resolves the issue. Either way, enable it again when done testing. If that fixed the issue, you can try increasing the timeout limit in the Outlook settings, or try adjusting the settings on your security software based on their instructions.

  • Unable to delete an email from a Gmail account in Mail

    I am unable to delete an email from my Gmail (IMAP) account within Mail on my MacBook. I get an error message that says there are no matches with the email. It does not show in Mail on my iMac or on my Gmail account online. I have rebuilt the mailbox, but don't know any other steps to try to fix this problem.
    Does anyone know how to delete this email?
    Thanks -

    Thanks for the suggestions. I did not find the message on my Gmail Internet account. I went into Mail Preferences, and used the Advanced tab under my Gmail account to uncheck "Enable this account". The account folders disappeared. When I restarted Mail and enabled Gmail again, the email was initially gone, but a few minutes later, reappeared. I don't know anything else left to do except delete the account and recreate it If you think of anything else, please let me know.
    Thanks -

  • Not Receiving Emails from my Gmail Account in Mail

    I am not receiving my e-mails from my Gmail account. I have not received any since 31 Dec 2010. I have gone thru the Gmail web site to look at my mail & I have received several since 31 Dec. I've used the Connectivity Doctor & all three go green, but I'm still not getting my Gmail. I heard today about some issue with the iPhone & alarms - could this be connected with that? What's the problem?

    If you unable to do it from your phone then do it using the web portal
    navigate to https://bis.na.blackberry.com/html?brand=sprint
    Create new account using your device pin and imei number.
    login to the account and move your mails to the new device.
    Thast all
    But remember that if you unable to browse from phone using wirless network not wifi then it wll not work
    I think it will solve your problem
    Take care
