Mail 6.2 sending duplicate emails

Question: How to stop duplicate emails being sent from Mail 6.2 connected to an imap exchange server?
Thanks.

Thanks, Cleg. I checked this out and did what he suggested. The only thing is my interface seems a little different, possibly newer?
I didn't have priority inbox selected, just classic and thought I better turn priority inbox on in order to get my labels tab looking like his so I could duplicate it. However even with the priority inbox selected my labels tab looks different-I might be on a newer version of gmail not sure. Either way, I unchecked and checked everything he had, attempting to duplicate his settings. We'll see if this works!

  • Sending Duplicate emails using Mail and mBox for mac

    I have been sending duplicate emails inadvertantly recently.  It seems it's when I use mBox for mac (registered copy) in Mail to use my Hotmail with IMAP.
    I hadn't noticed it at first, but now I see everytime I send a mail I get 2 copies in my sent box.  I can turn off the store sent messages on server option to fix it (but that's the whole point of having IMAP!!), or I can turn off mBox for mac and it also seems to work (but then I can't use IMAP!).    I've also tried on the same machine from gmail, and iCloud accounts (MobileMe), and I had no issue at all.  I've also tried 2 different Hotmail accounts, and both of them send double messages every time I send. 
    I've searched for a loooooong time, and can't find anyone with a similar issue - but surely I'm not the only one?  I think anyone still using a hotmail account will eventually install something like mBox for mac if they've gone Mac recently - as I have.
    I checked the mail headers of the 2 mails, and they are quite different (masked where appropriate) -

    I'm surprised I can't find anyone else with a similar issue.  I've submitted a support ticket with mBox/fluent factory, but I'm still not convinced it's their issue, and possibly a Mail on Mac issue.
    Does anybody have any suggestions?  Thanks for your help!

    @ Kokola
    Great staff!!! MBox Fluent Factory is very poor app.
    I was having problem with duplicated sent emails and cleaning up my inbox, sent items and deleting emails. Try to contact them via email for over 3 months and never got a reply!
    I just used the suggested configuration and my Entourage (email app for MAC) is working perfetcly. I can visualise all my online folders now!
    Thank you so much!
    mBox never addressed the issue and the duplicated emails reached new levels of annoyance but the good thing is that Hotmail and Outlook.com finally rolled out support for IMAP.
    Incoming Mail Server: imap-mail.outlook.com
    Outgoing Mail Server: smtp-mail.outlook.com
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/outlook/send-receive-from-app
    No more duplication issues once you switch over, and no need for a third party (mBox)software to bridge the missing feature gap.

  • TS3276 Mail has started sending duplicates of a message, especially group messages.  It also opens 2 windows for writing a new email.  Help.

    Mail has started sending duplicates of a message, especially group messages.  It also opens 2 windows for writing a new email.  Help. How do I fix this?

    Unfortunately there isn't official commercial support for Mozilla Thunderbird from Mozilla Corp.. I believe some contributors here ([http://mozilla.magicfab.ca myself included]) do offer such support, though.
    ''Before doing anything else, please do exit Thunderbird completely and [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_backing-up-a-profile backup the profile folder] - it contains all your email, settings, filters, etc.''
    Regarding your issue, it looks like the mail folder information may be corrupt. In the left pane, in the folder list, right-click on the Sent folder and select '''Properties'''. Choose "'''Rebuild Index'''" or "'''Repair Folder'''" - do you even have that option? Once done, exit TB completely and restart it.
    Updating to a newer version will help anyone help you, if only because some of the documentation for older Thunderbird versions is a bit harder to find and testing to try & reproduce your problem will be harder. Don't do this just yet, though :)
    After this issue has been addressed I would suggest considering using IMAP if your provider allows you to, and of course archiving your email to Local Folders and doing regular backups of your profile.
    If you want to arrange commercial support, contact me via the link I provided above and we can discuss rapidly. Otherwise I am fine continuing here, however I can only reply as time permits. I am in Montreal (so, EST time zone).

  • Outlook sends duplicate emails

    Some users may have encounter the issue that Outlook sends duplicate emails to the recipients, this can be really frustrating as the
    causes can be varied so that it’s really hard to troubleshoot . In this article, some most common causes will be introduced, which helps us troubleshoot this kind of
    issue.
    Send emails on Web first
    Before we determine whether it is a server side issue or Outlook client side issue, please logon the webmail, or OWA for Exchange Accounts, send some test emails to have
    the recipients to check again whether they receive duplicate emails. If the recipients don’t receive duplicate emails, we can tell it is probably an Outlook client issue.
    Anti-Virus program
    As some Anti-Virus programs may have been integrated with Outlook to keep the users from spams and viruses, it may also bring some issues sometimes. The program may also scan the outgoing emails and bring troubles, such as making the emails sent multiple
    times.
    Contact the program provider to know how to disable the integration with Outlook, and exit the Anti-Virus program temporarily, send test emails to see the result.
    Similar to Anti-Virus program integration, it can be some add-ins, we can run Outlook in Safe Mode as well:
    Run -> Type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box -> OK.
    If the issue is gone when Outlook is running in Safe Mode, disabling the add-ins which may fix the
    problem.
    Send/Receive interval conflict
    In Outlook we can set an interval according to which Outlook performs a Send/Receive task. Imagine there is an email with a large attachment needs to send, the sending process starts in the first Send/Receive task, but doesn’t complete when the second Send/Receive
    starts. Then Outlook may try to send the email again during the second Send/Receive task, which ends up with two same emails in the recipient’s Inbox.
    In Outlook 2013, under SEND / RECEIVE tab, click Send/Receive Groups -> Define Send/Receive Groups. We can then see the window below:
    The default interval is 30 minutes, if you think it’s too long you can make it shorter. My suggestion is not to set the interval too short, it should be at least 10 minutes, especially when you have multiple accounts setup in Outlook and always need to send
    emails with attachments.
    Server Timeouts
    This is particular for IMAP and POP accounts. When we have a slow Internet or the latency is high, Outlook may not get response from the Server in time, thus Outlook considers the connection to the server is lost, by default, after 1 minute.
    However, if the message has actually been sent in the bad Internet condition, but Outlook doesn’t get a response from the server, it may still try to submit the message in the Outbox in the next Send/Receive task.
    We can increase the Server Timeouts to 2 or 3 minutes in this scenario, it will be more probably that Outlook can get the correct response from the server if the message is sent.
    For IMAP:
    For POP:
    IMAP Sent Items options
    This is only for IMAP accounts. The recipient may not receive duplicate emails but the sender gets duplicate emails in the Sent Items folder.
    In Outlook, there are options for us to decide to save the sent items or not for IMAP accounts.
    Outlook 2010:
    Outlook 2013:
    The IMAP account provider may also save a copy on the Server, if you have configured to save a copy in Outlook, this may result in duplicate. In Outlook 2010, select “Do not save copies of sent items” under Sent Items tab; In Outlook 2013, check “Do not
    save copies of sent items” under Advanced tab. Then send test emails to check the result.
    Another thing to check is under FILE tab -> Options -> Mail -> Save messages -> Save copies of messages in the Sent Items folder, we can uncheck this option to see the result. What we should note is it’s a global option that applies to all accounts.
    If your provider doesn’t save emails on the server, it’s better not to uncheck this setting.
    To know if the provider saves the sent emails on the server, contact them or check the webmail settings.
    If you have anything to add or any feedback, feel free to let me know.

  • Why does Calendar keep opening my Mail.app to send me email notifications?

    Why does Calendar keep opening my Mail.app to send me email notifications? I've disabled any settings that look like they could be used to sending me an alert. I've also read that disabling the email alerts in gmail would also help (since I use 3 gmail calendars in addition to my icloud calendar). Any ideas on how I might fix this issue?

    Maybe this will help. If you monitor the "More Like This" box, other threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads.

  • Prevent Sharepoint 2010 workflow to send duplicate emails

    I have SharePoint 2013 as environment but am using SharePoint 2010 workflow on a list. There is a field in this list called "Order Status" which has different status such as Processing, Shipped, Cancelled, Hold. There is another list which updates
    this Order Status. I have the workflow send out an email when the Order Status changes to Processing and another email when Order Status changes to Shipped.
    The issue is that there are multiple emails being sent out when any of these status changes to either Processing or Shipped. There is no other workflow attached to this list 
    How do I prevent the workflow to send duplicate emails? I have seen that a flag could be setup to track the email sent once but that method does not work correctly and it still sends out duplicate emails. Or maybe I am not doing this correctly
    Any suggestions, comments or have anyone resolved this successfully
    Thanks Snehal H.Rana SharePoint Consultant

    Hi Snehal
    If you check the workflow history, you will probably see that every time an item is added or modified, the workflow runs twice. That’s why you’re receiving two email notifications. 
    The reason for this is timing. If your workflow is very short and the SharePoint server is very slow, the first instance of the workflow may finish well before the item is fully saved and committed to SharePoint. As the item is being processed, the workflow
    event receiver can fire again, and start another instance of the workflow.
    The solution for this problem is to add a step at the end of your workflow which will pause the workflow for a few minutes .
    Another Option is to use a Flag.For Setting up flag correctly check the following link

  • Mail: Forwarding: Original Sender Gets Email as Well?

    I haven't been using Mail very long -- I used to use Eudora for decades and it was my definitely favorite email app. I hated Outlook et. al and when I bought my MacBook Pro and it was running 10.5.8, well, I just could not get Eudora to work. So I reluctantly had to switch to Mail, which I hated then, and hate even more now.
    A couple of times, I was horrified to see that when I forwarded email from someone to my wife, and perhaps added a comment with the quoted text of the email, the original sender whose email i was forwarding got the email -- with my comment -- as well!
    Since I don't know what's going on, I don't know how to explain it, but here's an example. Someone emailed me about taking some lessons (I teach Japanese). I replied and said I couldn't take her right now, which wasn't true -- she was already asking for a group discount for two people and I know the type and I just didn't want to bother with it, so I said I was too busy.
    Then, I forwarded the email she had sent me, with the request for the discount, to my wife. I specifically chose the "Forward" button, my wife's address appeared in the address box, and I included some snide comment about why the woman was asking for a discount on a discount, as I'm already way cheaper than most turors.
    Still with me?
    Then, later on I changed my mind and replied to the woman and told her I could fit her in, but she'd have to pay the full price. I BCCd my wife in on this email (Bcc means "Blind CC" -- meaning, as I understand it, that the main person recieving the email only sees their address in the header, and possibly "and other recipients," but not anyone else's email address or anything like that.
    So, we go back and forth over various things, and occasionally I forward the woman's email to my wife, again, with comments, that I OBVIOUSLY don't want this woman to see.
    Okay, no problems there -- before I click "Send" I make sure my wife's address, and ONLY her address, is in the address field, as I'm just forwarding an email.
    Yet today, when I went to check what time this person is coming, I see all the emails that we've ever exchanged including the very first one, all one after another -- her emails, my replies etc. But then, in the middle of all these, I suddenly see the email I forwarded to my wife with the snide comment in it! How the **** did it get in there, and is it possible that email was also sent to this woman as well, so she read my comment?
    Other odd things have happened when I've forwarded things to my wife -- a reply, perhaps, from someone we both know but with my previous emails, NOT MEANT to be read by my wife, somehow in the chain!
    Now I'm ultra paranoid. Has this woman received those emails I sent to my wife (I thought) and read my snide comments? Why on erth would Mail include, in this bck and forth with this woman -- maybe ten emails in all, suddenly a forwarded email to my wife? It should not be in the chain at all, since it was NOT sent to the woman, merely forwarded to my wife.
    Is Mail sending emails to people with their email addresses being visible in the address fields without my knowledge? Has this woman read my snide comments (and my wife's replies to them!) and even if not, why are those back-and-forths with my wife doing in the same chain as the emails to this woman? They technically should have no connection to the woman, since they were nit addressed to her, merely forwarded.
    And are people seeing who I'm Blind CCing? Mail certainly is an effed-up app -- it's very badly putr together and just serves to remind me that Apple has really put some horrific software into their systems over the years, and seemingly with every new iteratioon and every new OS, the apps just get worse and less intuitive, not the opposite, with NO WAY to downgrade. If I had my way, this MacBook would be running Tiger. with iMovie from 2004 (same for all the iLife apps -- they've degenerated into Microsoft-like unusable messes).
    But I'm seriously worried about this Mail issue -- the last thing I want is for people to be receiving emails that I'm not aware are being sent.
    And I REALLY wish Eudora functioned on this machine -- I don't know why it doesn't but it keeps giving me error messages. But that's a separate problem.
    Anyone else experienced anything like this?

    Thanks, guys . . .
    I kind of knew that Mail couldn't possibly be sending emails to people without my being aware of it but I just wanted to double check.
    As far as the other email programs go, for some insane reason all the ones I try (Thunderbird, for one) have problems connecting with my SMTP (outgoing) server. In one case, there's no way to change my account setting from IMAP to POP . . . the way these programs are set up, just configuring your settings requires a B.S. in network technology . . . every time these things happen, I end up on the phone with the local ISP for two hours and most of them have no idea what a Mac is  . . .
    I think in this case I wll just stick wth the Devil I Know. Every email program has its drawbacks and Mail is clunky and unintuitive but thank God, it integrates with SpamSieve, the only junk mail killer that really, really works (I just learned how WELL it works when I tried Thunderbird and it downloaded all the mail I'm REALLY getting s opposed to the mail that I end up seeing -- for every legit email that SpamSieve lets through, there are at least 75 that it doesn't. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm inundated with at LEAST 400 junk emails A DAY for my two accounts and without SpamSieve I'd be in the First Circle of ****, but I digress).
    It's been a year now with Mail and although I despise it at least now I think I'm getting used to it, and your reassurances about people getting unwanted mail definitely removed my last doubts.
    I'll stick with Mail, since the others don't look exactly like champs either, and just pray Apple doesn't "Upsdate" anything for a good long while.
    Cheers, mates

  • Mail always shows sending two emails in Mail activity

    Hi, I have noticed, that even when I send only one email, the Mail activity reports "sending 2 mails". Does anyone know why that is?
    Thanks in advance
    ralf

    It's because you're using an IMAP account, which resides on the server, not on your Mac. So whenever you send an email, it's sent to the server, which then sends it back to your Mac, so the two are always in sync.

  • Mail says its sending double emails

    When I send a single email in the apple mail program, the progress report says it's sending two emails.  When receiving emails it also exaggerates the number of emails that it is downloading from the server, e.g. it will say it's receiving four emails, but only receives two.  It's not necessarily proportional each time and can be random numbers. Can anyone explain this.  It is consistent that it always says it's downloading more emails than I receive in my inbox. Have checked junk mail and this doesn't account for it.  Am using OSX 10.9.4. Any advice appreciated.

    It is a bug in Mail. The only way to reset is to quit and reopen Mail.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Schedule Mail.app to send an Email in the future

    Hey everyone, I want to send an email in the future, for marking an anniversary of a friends daughters passing away. I Don't want to miss it and I don't want to have to compose a message last minute. I want to compose it NOW. Is there a script or something I can use to make Mail.app send the mail via my Gmail IMAP at a specified time?

    I will say that Mail Scripts does work. I have used it for a couple of years and it allows me to create an email, save as DRAFT, then run the script for it to send it out in the future.

  • Mail unable to send any emails

    Hi,
    In my office I have setup my MacBook Pro Mail. I can receive emails but can't send any out. I read that I should use Connection Doctor. I know my incoming mail server address but not the smtp. How should I trouble shoot?

    guys refuse to share the outgoing server details. Hence, I am only able to retrieve my emails but am unable to send out.
    Perhaps they are not clear on what settings you need? The settings you need are what any user with any computer (Mac, Windows, Unix, Linux, whatever) would need to configure their email program. You aren't asking for anything special here.
    Consider showing the article I mentioned (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1277) to your IT person so he/she sees what it is your are looking for (and why...you want to use your email).
    If that does not work you might want to seek someone higher up the IT chain to talk to (Or go to your superior and ask them to intercede as you are being denied what you need to use your tools.)
    Asking for one's email settings is not like asking for nuclear missile launch codes from the US government. If you are someone who has an account given to you by your organization you need the settings to use the account assigned to you. Unless of course they intend for you to only be able to receive and not send. In which case, everything is as it should be.

  • Mac Mail No Longer Sends Outgoing Email

    Has Verizon changed its email settings?  My Mac Mail program suddenly quit sending out my university email from home and says the outgoing verizon server rejected the password.  However, nothing has been changed in my email program and it won't accept any password to send the outgoing email.
    The online instructions provided by Verizon for Entourage indicate changing the outgoing port setting to 587.   But that does not work.
    Why can't the Mac Mail program send out email through Verizon any more?
    Solved!

    Thanks for helping.  While the university has web mail for off campus access, our IT said that off campus users (i.e., when at home) using a dedicated email client (e.g., Mac Mail) should send outgoing email through their internet service provider.  I agree, it doesn't seem right to me, but that's what they have us do.
    Settings that worked previously: The incoming server is a pop account, mail.cahnrs.wsu.edu with a user name and password.  The outgoing server is outgoing.verizon.net using port 587 with user name and password.
    The university email is generally [email protected]  But it could also be [email protected]
    Until about two days ago, these settings were working fine, so it seems like something changed somewhere.
    Thanks very much for any help you can offer.
    So when you're off-campus, are you still in Washington? If so, you're in an area that's been sold to Frontier, and it's entirely possible that your email access has been converted. You can contact Tech Support if you need help setting things up and/or verifying the status of your account. I was able to find this via Google, hopefully it will help you:
    http://www.frontierhelp.com/faq.cfm?qstid=1
    Basically it says your SMTP server should be smtp.frontier.com, but there's also a link-off that appears to provide walk-throughs for configuring your client.
    Hope this helps!
