Mac Mail now 1000 inBox emails and counting

This is weird. Mail will not QUIT so I have to force quit. When I delete duplicates they come back, and dupliate again. I have moved the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2 to my desk top and tried (nothing), I have rebuilt mailbox (nothing). It started last night. I watch the activity viewer and it tries to alway download 111 new emails, makes it to the last one and hangs. If I try to shut down the computer will not and I get MAIL WON'T QUIT window so I have to force quit again. I have 2 mail accounts that originate from a Yahoo hosted website and only the Admin is affected. It's been working great for 2 years. (I have advised Yahoo and waiting for an answer)

Yeah, I tried and that didn't do anything. What I just tried seems to work (for now). I went into Library/Mail?pop-Admin/Deleted Messages folder and dragged the Messages Folder to the trash. Then logged onto Yahoo and went to my deleted mail (surprise there were 117 mails there) and selected ALL and deleted.
Reopened Mail and seems to work now. I can quit normally.
Fingers X-ssed!!! Thanks for your reply!

    Hi k:
    That file is in your home folder ~(symbol for home)>library>preferences.
    A preference file may (rare, but it happens) become corrupted. OS X rebuilds them as needed. You will need to enter any personal preferences that differ from the default settings.

  • Can i delete .mac account in mac mail now i have icloud set up?

    I've just upgraded to icloud. now my mac mail has my .mac email and my icloud email. both are exactly the same.
    Is it safe for me to delete the .mac account from my list of accounts (in preferences) in mac mail now, as icloud is listed as an account?
    I would think i'm just getting everything twice, but nervous to delete the .mac one, incase that is what icloud is mimicking?
    thanks

    My only conclusion is that .mac is mapped to the email server for iCloud.  I would say that you can remove the .mac account from your email app, since the iCloud account has all the old email.  Since this is an IMAP account, even deleting the iCloud account from the ipad won't hurt, since you can redefine it and all your email will still be available.  My only reason for suggesting the test, above, was to see how the old .mac account was handled (totally removed or just referencing the iCloud server).  I suspect the .mac account will eventually be totally removed.

  • My itouch mail keeps loading old emails and displaying them as unread.  If I delete them it just loads 50 more older ones

    My itouch mail keeps loading old emails and displaying them as unread.  If I delete them, 50 more load....old ones that I have long since read and discarded.  Any suggestions.  It appears to be only 1 of my email accounts that does this.  I have deleted the account and resynced to get it back in use, but 50 old emails come up as if they are new unread ones.  Thanks for any help.

    I am having the same issue and it started the same day.  My other mac does it as well but has been an issue for two years.  I just gave up on it and stopped using email from that mac.  I just spend 4 days trouble shooting ti myself when i had time and now spent 2 hours with apple on a chat and screen share and they couldnt solve it either.

  • TS3276 Mac Mail won't send emails with signatures

    My Mac Mail won't send emails with signatures. I get the "whoosh" sound and they show in sent mail, but the recipient doesn't receive them until I take off the signature and resend the email. Without a signature, it is received. It never used to be a problem, but started this past month. Please advise!

    Did Earthlink have you try using their authenticated SMTP server?
    If not, try changing Earthlink's SMTP server settings to the following:
    SMTP Server: smtpauth.earthlink.net
    Server Port: 25 or 587. Assuming Earthlink is your ISP, 25 should work.
    Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): Off or not selected.
    Authentication Type: MD5 Challenge-Response. Not sure if this authentication type is available with 10.2 and if not, select Password.
    User Name: Your entire Earthlink email address.
    Password: The password for your Earthlink email account - the same password used to check the incoming mail server for new messages.

    iBook running OS 10.4.11. Mac Mail. Can send email, but not receive. Slow to send, goes to Outbox first. Can send and receive email via WebMail. Any ideas please.

  • I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?

    I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?

    This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
    The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
    Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
    I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)

    Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

    i can't get icloud to sync my ipad notepad to my mac. it works fine for email and calendar?I have clicked the notepad setting on my iPad to ON.

    On the iPad tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Calendars off then back on then reset the iPad.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    On the iMac, open System Preferences > iCloud. Deselect the box next to Calendars then reselect that box then restart your iMac.

  • Why are Apple completely incapable of releasing an update which works! I now have 14000 emails and no way to resolve!! Thanks Apple

    I now have 14000 emails and no way to resolve!
    I have turned off threads, I have marked all as read, and then unread! Superb thanks so much Apple. Why oh why do you always test your new releases on customers first! Every software update is a fiasco!

    What exactly needs to be resolved, could you please be specific?

  • How can I import 1000s of Emails from Mac Mail (Exchange Account) into Gmail and Retain Labels?

    I have an old exchange account in Mac Mail, disconnected, but still with 1000s of emails in a folder structre. I'd like to import all of those into my Gmail account, and retain the folder structre as Gmail labels). What's th easiest way to do this?

    That is a question for Google, as far as I know Exchange does not use labels, the folders are (unlike Gmail) real.
    But Google support may know a way.

  • Mac Mail - Can I make emails in smart mailboxes not show in my inbox?

    Hi,
    I am running several mail accounts on mac mail. I just set up a bunch of smart mailboxes which are working but the emails in those smart mailboxes are still showing up in my inbox? I thought the purpose if mailboxes (smart or not) was to reduce your inbox volume?
    Does Lion or any other 3rd party mail apps do this? Thanks.
    OK sorry forum and Apple bandwidth and Storage..ha I didn't look hard enough at the forum...found my answer which is to create regular mailbox and set up a rule.
    Message was edited by: davidgisme

    Smart Mailboxes do not remove mail from where they are stored. They only serve to help you to organize and find spefific criteria quickly. They don't perform actions.
    If you want to move messages, you could try creating mail rules to perform actions, such as moving messages. You will have to look to see if rules support the criteria you're looking for. Mail/ Account Preferences/ Rules

  • Just got a new macbook air I added 2 google email accounts to the mail program.  The mail downloaded thousands of emails and now on the top right hand corner I get bombarded by notification of these emails from 3-4 years ago and it is non stop.

    When I added 2 gmail accounts to my new macbook air.  The email program download thousands of emails and now I am getting notifications non stop on the top right hand corner from years ago it is non stop notification for the emails from like 2007 really old emails.  I am not sure why it is notifying me of old emails I know it is new just downloaded in the program but it should only notify me of recent emails shouldn't it?

    If your email client (Mail) it set to never delete emails from the server,  they stay there waiting. The server doesn't track what you've already downloaded, so a new setup of Mail just grabs whatever it finds on the server. You can change this in Settings, but for now, you have all your old emails to sort.

  • I am unable to "open link behind mail" using Mac Mail now. It used to work fine, and just clicking works but not right clicking to open behind mail. Please help

    This used to work on my Mac using Firefox and Mac Mail but now it doesn't. Opening regular links are unaffected. I can still click and open easily. This only happens when I try to use the feature, to open links behind mail. When I right click nothing happens. Nothing is opened.

    Hi GetPaulHoward,
    Thank you for posting your question to the SUMO support forum, however I am not sure this pretains to Mozilla. There is a help forum you can contact at Apple.
