Maddening duplicate emails after dumping the Verizon-Ya​hoo! Experience

Finally fed up with a totally unreliable email service offered under the banner of the Verizon-Yahoo! Experience, I dumped this Yahoo! 'Premium Service' and delinked accounts saying, I thought, good riddance.  Fat chance!  Now, after my standalone Verizon mail accounts have been successfully established, I am still haunted by a sole Yahoo! Mail account which insists on forwarding a copy of each email it receives to my primary Verizon mail account.  Infuriating, as I now receive two copies of  every email addrsssed to my Yahoo! Mail account: one to the Yahoo! account and one copy forwarded as a blind copy (BCC) to my Verizon mail account.
Got in touch with Yahoo! and they told me it's Verizon's problem.  Okay, I next contacted Verizon Support and they pointed their finger at Yahoo!  Hmmm, so now what I've got is two huge communications companies telling me 'it's not my problem', 'talk to the other guy'.  To me it appears I've got two clueless internet giants who don't know where the problem originates, have no seeming interest in resolving the issue or even trying to understand the problem and, when without an answer, are masters at passing the buck.   What a bunch of codswallop.
Has anyone reading this experienced a similar problem or at least know of the issue and how to fix it?  There are no user-accessible setings that I know of in either Yahoo! Mail or Verizon mail's online settings to tweak to resolve this headache.
As things now stand, switching to COMCAST or perhaps unplugging entirely are looking like mighty appealing options.  Being connected isn't worth this amount unnecessary grief.  Thanks in advance for your help.

I believe it would be impossible for Verizon mail to forward mail from another mail service.
It is possible that Verizon mail is set up to import Yahoo mail.  Go to Verizon Mail > Settings > Import > Import POP3 Email.   Delete anything Yahoo that might be there.  
If eliminating the "Import POP3 Email"  scenario doesn't solve the the problem, the cause would seem to be with Yahoo.   Your best resource for Yahoo issues might be on Yahoo Answers, Yahoo Products board.

  • Duplicate emails after backup

    Hi all,
    I am closing in on streamlining my Mac Pro workstation. I recently (after much consideration) decided on a backup plan. I am using SuperDuper! and backing up my data/workfile hard drive daily and my OS/apps drive twice a week as per the configuration in the diagram below. After my first scheduled OS/apps backup I noticed that I received duplicate emails in the inbox of mac 'mail' on my main OS drive of files that must be marked as 'unread' in the backup mac 'mail' app inbox. I would like to address this and correct it as soon as possible.
    Anyone have any thoughts as to what's happening and what might be done to fix it?
    Thanks in advance for any input.
    Best,
    Dennis

    Ernie,
    Thanks for the note.
    I see the file you are referencing in the home-->library-->mail directory.
    I'm pretty sure that I didn't relaunch mail after yesterdays backup. The
    duplicate emails just suddenly downloaded. I'm not sure if it was directly after the backup or not. So, what you suggest is, run the backup action, then check to see if the 'MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3' is still in place, is this correct?
    Thanks again.

  • Duplicate emails after upgrade to OS X maverick

    After upgrading to the new software, Outlook for Mac 2011 now duplicates emails everytime it opens and closes. For example, today I had emails in my inbox from over a month ago as if they had just been sent this morning for the first time. Does anyone have a fix?

    Me again. I've just been reading some of the other posts that are having the same problem and found this (see below) seems to have worked for a few people. I'm going to try it and will let you know if its worked or not.

    Re: Mavericks and Outlook - repeated download of same emails 
    Nov 3, 2013 12:22 PM (in response to Swaby9)
    Hello,
    I have duplicate emails in Outlook since Mavericks install. Exiting the sleep mode (or exiting the screensaver) I found many time-out errors and Outlook re-downloaded every mails stored on the server.
    I found a solution:
    1 - Display information of "Microsoft Outlook.app" (located into the folder Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Microsoft Outlook.app. (Select the Microsoft Outlook.app "file" into the Finder and press Command+I)
    2 - Check the box Disable/Prevent App Nap (On my french version "Empêcher App Nap")
    Because I am not sure that Office 2011 manages App Nap, I disabled App Nap also for Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
    I hope this workaround will work for you as well as it works for me!

  • Email deletion by the Verizon email server

    I have noticed a disturbing trend in my email Inbox.    Since about the first of the year, I have noticed that most of my older email messages have been deleted by the Verizon email server, which is allowable under the terms of agreement as per below:
    Email Retention
    All read Verizon Online email messages remain on the Verizon server until you decide to delete them.  All unread Verizon Online email messages are deleted from the Verizon server after 90 days
    The problem?   The messages being deleted had been read previously.   And, this morning, two more messages were deleted automatically.   And, yes, they had been read - in March of 2008.
    It is not like I am using any storage space.   I am at less than 1% of my allowed storage allocation.
    This appears to be a violation of Verizon's terms of agreement.   What gives?

    Any time mail disappears from the server, there's a pretty good chance there's some device pulling it off. This can happen even without you intending it to. For example, the default Verizon setup for a long time (and possibly still) configured Outlook automatically unless you were paying attention and unchecked the box during the install.
    The easiest way to fix it is to change your password. Once the device(s) can no longer authenticate, the disappearances should stop.

    I have the same problem. I use Thunderbird and I removed some e-mails from it knowing I could retrieve it from the web. Wrong!!! My TB account is set to not remove from web when I get it. The most that remains on the web are 10. I'll be going on vacation hoping to get my emails off the web, but I sure can't count on it. Don't want to dump Verizon and go through the hassle of notifying my contacts of a change in e-mail accounts and hoping they remember to change it.

  • Is the Verizon/Ya​hoo email server down?

    I've been having problems for the last couple of weeks trying to change my verizon/yahoo email without any success after my account was hacked. Now I can't log into the verizon/yahoo mail system.
    I can log into verizon.com without any issues even after chaning my verizon password several time. Now as soon as I go into the verizon web mail system from verizon.com I get this error:
    "The server is currently unavailable. Please try again later."
    I've been getting this error for the last couple of days. It appears that the connection between verizon and yahoo is broken. Does anyone on from Verizon know what's going on? I contacted verizon via a chat today and someone from India was not aware of the problem and couldn't help me.
    Is it possible to setup my [email protected] email acount without going through yahoo. I use outlook at home and on my smart phone I use a verizon/yahoo email app. Please help me....

  • Sending email after deleting the records in a table

    Hi
    I am deleting the records in a table. After deleting the records,
    i want to send an email to another person. I am planning to follow this steps.
    1. Create a trigger on the table(AFTER DELETE ON table FOR EACH ROW)
    to copy the deleted records to temporary table.
    2. Read the temporary table and send an email.
    Is there any other way we can do with out creating temporary table ?.
    Govind

    I don't know what you plan to use to send the mail but here's a solution that would work.
    -- Create a send mail procedure
    create or replace procedure send_mail (
    sender      IN VARCHAR2,
    recipient   IN VARCHAR2,
    message     IN VARCHAR2)
    IS
      mailhost VARCHAR2(30) := 'localhost';
      mail_conn utl_smtp.connection;
    BEGIN
    mail_conn :=  utl_smtp.open_connection(mailhost, 25);
      utl_smtp.helo(mail_conn, mailhost);
      utl_smtp.mail(mail_conn, sender);
      utl_smtp.rcpt(mail_conn, recipient);
      utl_smtp.data(mail_conn, message);
      utl_smtp.quit(mail_conn);
    END;
    /-- Create the trigger to email deleted rows
    create or replace trigger email_del_rows
    after delete on <table>
    for each row
    declare
    msg varchar2(2000);
    begin
    msg := 'COL1  COL2  COMPANY NAME  DATE'||chr(10);
    msg := msg||:old.col1||'    '||:old.col2||'    '||:old.company_name||'       '||:old_date|| chr(10);
    msg := msg||'END OF FILE';
    send_mail('SENDER','[email protected]',msg);
    end;
    /You can make it look pretty but you get the basic idea.

  • Can't get access to yahoo email after updating the iphone4 iOS 4.3.4

    The password on the account list disappeared (yahoo mail). And when entering it, it will say "Server Unavailable" after few minutes of verification process. Other email accounts like gmail, comcast, etc works fine only the yahoo mail is not working.

    You're welcome.
    That little tidbit of info should have been included with your original post along with everything else that has been tried without success so I don't waste my time and your time giving you a suggestion that you've already tried.
    All other email accounts work so doubtful Apple will have an answer since this probably has nothing to do with Apple. Since all other accounts work, have you contacted Yahoo customer or technical support?

  • How does it usually take to get the activation email after receiving the invoice receipt?

    Hi all. I'm doing the develop enrollment. I received the invoice receipt 3 days ago, which says apple has received my 99 dollars. But I'm still waiting for the activation email. It should take no more than 24 hours to get the activation email, right? if I click "Program enrollment" in this page(https://developer.apple.com/contact/), safari will tell me there are too many redirects and can't open the link. What should I do, please?

    I got my activation e-mail rather quickly; however, something is wrong with my Developer enrollment (I registered as an individual and it says they are trying to verify my identity to see if I can act on my company's behalf--which does not make sense because I registered as an individual).
    Apple has my $99 too and I also am unable to contact them due to the same redirect problem you are facing.
    I am wondering if there is a recent bug on their site that needs to be addressed (seems like it is getting caught in a loop while trying to verify the device and/or browser).  I have posted a question as well so let's hope this gets resolved soon.
    Not a smooth way to start :-/
