Macbook Pro - mail account. Deleted messages keep coming back!

Hey,
I've deleted several messages (they were also in my drafts) and they keep popping back up in my sent mail and inbox, sometimes multiple copies of the same message. I want those messages gone. They keep coming back!!!! How do I fix this?

In Mail you have to move the message to gmail trash. Just deleting the message assigns it the delete label but doesn't delete it. You can truly delete the messages in web gmail, however.
I hope this helps.

  • Im deleting my mail account but it keeps coming back. I want to reset

    It keeps coming up with a problem when i try to send mail. Not sure exactly why, so i deleted hubbys account but then it started coming up with mine as the issue(it was his before, kept trying to send with his server name)
    Anyway, im actually on a mobile me trial so its a @me.com but obviously still shows as @mac.com.
    I thought maybe i should see if i could update mail server but thats not the issue.
    I delete my account then sign out of mail but its there when i click it again.
    Since this is the first real time im gonna be making use of a mac address and use this application, i need advice!

    Quit Mail then try dragging these 2 files and this folder to the Desktop first, then reboot...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    /Users/YourUserName//Library/Caches/Mail
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/
    Whole folder here.

    Apple's Mail application can use either IMAP or POP. In fact Gmail can be set either way.

  • I try to 4 message keeps coming back recipient was rejected by server because it does not allow relaying what can i do to rectify this

    i try to send e.mail off iphone 4 and message keeps coming back" recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying"

    This means that you did not enter a valid user ID and/or password for the Outgoing (SMTP) mail server when setting up the account. You must enter information for both the incoming and outgoing mail servers; they are separate settings.

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Zombie deleted draft messages keep coming back in Mail

    I have several messages in my drafts mailbox that just keep coming back. I've deleted them several times over and even rebuilt my mailboxes (ALL of them!) to try and fix this issues. Anyone else seeing this?

    That seems to have solved it. I turned off storing drafts on the server a couple days ago and they haven't come back. Thanks!

  • Why do my deleted emails keep coming back into my inbox?

    I upgraded to Maverick last week and now I can't delete any of my emails.  They keep coming back into my inbox after I try to delete them.  Help!

    Make sure you have option set to delete from server when read. Otherwise they will keep coming back.

  • Deleted app keeps coming back

    I've deleted this app twice but keep getting updates for it. Out of habit, I click "update all" and get the stupid thing again because there's no way to stop the download at that point. I've tried getting the icons to jiggle, but the one in process has no delete option until it's loaded again.
    Any way to keep it out of my updates to begin with? How do I permanently delete an app? Thanks.

    I am having the same problem. I have deleted the app in iTunes and on the iPod but every time I download updates, it keeps coming back. How can I get this app (Utah State Parks Field Guide) to leave me alone.

  • HT1277 When I delete email from my actual hotmail, yahoo and gmail accounts online, it does not delete from my MacBook Pro Mail accounts that I created for hotmail, yahoo, gmail. I thought sync'ing these accounts would do this. Please help :-)

    MacBook Pro 13.3/2.3/2X2GB/320/SD-USA with Mac OS X v10.5
    I've set up my Mac - Mail with my yahoo, gmail and hotmail accounts and can successfully send and receive mail. However, when I go online to my actual yahoo, gmail and hotmail accounts to delete unwanted emails or to move those emails into subfolders, my Mac - Mail is not updated. How do I do this?
    Also, if you can help show me how to view my hotmail folders in Mac - Mail, I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks!!
    Tessy

    Is it POP or IMAP? - see Mail/Preferences/Accounts - highlight an account and see what the Type is.
    Try Mail/'menu bar'/Mailbox/'Take All Accounts Online'

  • Deleted emails keep coming back since the last big update on my macbook pro

    Ever since the update that removed the ability to work with spaces on my mac, I have had issues with deleted emails coming back, even after deleting more than once.  Very frustrating.
    Side note:  I preferred using the spaces function when moving from email to internet to other programs.  Not a huge fan of the updated function.

    Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore is not, in itself, a solution.
    First, empty the Trash, if possible.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C:
    find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 \) 2>&- | wc -l | pbcopy
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run.
    Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
    The output of the command will be a number. It's automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste it into a reply.
    The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

  • How can I delete already deleted mail...it keeps coming back?

    I keep deleting mail from both my inbox & all mail folders but it keeps reappearing? Any suggestions how to really delete?

    What folders do they reappear in?  Is this a gmail account?

  • Deleted Emails Keep Coming Back -- WHY has this not been fixed?

    Settings on iPhone:
    Mail Type:  POP
    Deleted Messages = After One Day
    Delete from Server = Whn removed from inbox
    iOS:  5.1.1
    Okay.....this is ridiculous, if you search the web you find hundreds of people complaining about this problem and not one offers any type of solution.  This never happened on my Blackberry.  This ONLY started happening again a few weeks ago on the iPhone.
    I have NOT changed any settings anywhere as it relates to email.  This is just annoying when you are trying to work and you get buzzed to only find the same ones deleted are back again.
    Is there a FINAL solution to this problem Apple.
    Thanks to all who respond.

    If it used to work properly you could try deleting and recreating the account on your phone to see if that would help.  Otherwise you might have to contact godaddy support to see if they know if their server will honor the settings on your phone.

  • Moved or deleted emails keep coming back to Mail inbox

    Since Maverick installation, I have been trying to keep my folders from various email accounts organized like in the good old days of Lion but Mail keeps moving my emails back to the original inbox each time I try to either delete or move one of the emails (it usually happens after 3-5 minutes). So much time wasted every day... How to fix please? Thanks.

    Just wondering if you have the latest Mail update. This may fix the issue.
    Hope this helps
