Mail.app and IMAP does not change message in server

Hello all...
I'm having a strange problem with Mail.app.. I have a IMAP server that uses pine-imapd. I can login and read messages, but anything I do with the messages to not change the message status on the server... If I read a new message, it remains NEW on server, if I delete, it DO NOT delete form server, and so on.. There are cases that I keep receiving the same message over and over again, but actually there's only one message on the server... I used to use Linux with Evolution and everything works just fine, but with Mail.app on Leopard, I have this issue.. Anyone experienced the same thing and have solved it?
THanks

Hello Neithan.
Assuming Preferences > Mailbox Behaviors > Move deleted messages to the Trash is ON, does having Store deleted messages on the server ON or OFF make a difference?
Does the problem persist if you take the account offline, then back online (e.g. by means of Mailbox > Go Offline/Online)?
Do you have any Mail plug-ins? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/Mail/Bundles/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
To make accurately reporting that information easier, open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You can then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
ls -1 /Library/InputManagers /Library/Mail/Bundles ~/Library/InputManagers ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

  • Multiple gmail accounts in mail.app via IMAP - how to delete messages

    multiple gmail accounts in mail.app via IMAP - how to delete messages so that they are not stored on gmail and not in All Mail therefore either.
    i know that dragging messages to the GMail.Trash folder deletes it in Gmail, but doing that for multiple accounts is a hassle!
    anybody else struggle with this, solved it?

    i have still not figured out a solution to this. very painful - the fact that messages iwill not be using ever again and with large attachments, just sit there in all mails and slow down mail.app for me, fill up search results with stuff i don't want to see and fill up space on the HDD. the attachments as a result often are stored 3-4 times on the HDD!
    some geek here must have solved it - come on!

  • Backup Gmail using Mail.app and IMAP

    I would like to backup my Gmail emails using Apple Mail. I have IMAP turned on in Gmail. I know I need to add the account in Mail but I'm not sure what to do after that. I'm thinking I need to create a local mail folder in order to store the emails.
    Also, how could I automate this? Is Mail the best option for this scenario? Again, I'm only wanting this as a backup for Gmail.

    How about avoiding redundancy (http://superuser.com/questions/114253/backup-gmail-using-mail-app-and-imap-witho ut-redundancy)?
    I got this all working, there's even this literally great guide on my superuser post (http://db.tidbits.com/article/10253) but IMAP generates a lot of repeated files due to gmail labels nature.
    Anyone knows a way to circle around this and still be able to use IMAP and labels with mail.app and gmail?

    I purchased an app for my son, for his ipad and it does not work. Halo Waypoint for $5.99. When you log in, it just starts loading then an message saying "Sign in Trouble, we couldn't sign you in to Xbox live. Your windows Live ID information is correct, but Xbox Live is unavailable.

  • Mail.app 4.1 does not work with 10.6.1 after restore from time machine

    After I restored my complete system from time machine backup using the original snow leopard install disc. My Mail.app won't start up anymore. It shows me the message:
    "You can't use this version of Mail with this version of Mac OS X"
    "You have Mail version 4.1 (1076/1075.2). It can't be used Mac OS X Version 10.6.1 (Build 10B504). For more information, click the Help button"
    I don't understand the error message as mail 4.1 was installed as part of Mac OS X 10.6.1?
    Detailed event log:

    I've seen two possible solutions to this:
    1. Easier, but less likely to work - try to start mail from the Finder, rather than the Dock. If it works, replace the Dock Mail with the Finder one.
    2. More probably the solution: download and reinstall the 10.6.1 combo update. I know you shouldn't need to after a TM restore but ...

  • I have downloaded an app and it does not work

    I downloaded two apps. They are both are the same application, on;y difference is that one is the 2.0 version and the other 3.0 version.
    When I downloaded the 2.0 version I thought this was the latest version, but turns out there was another newer version. But I tried the 2.0 version first and this does not work on my mac. The application is Wondershare Data Recovery. It is not able to see any devices on my mac.
    So tried the 3.0 version and again same problem, does not work, funny because after careful researching on what product to buy I decided to download the trial version and it works fine. Only thing is that I need to but the full version to successfully retrive my disappeared images from memeory card, from my camera phone.
    anyway the point is, I have just wasted £95, and I would like this back, or at least the problem resolved. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I only find the v3.0 in the UK Mac App Store (MAS). But on the developer's website I find two separate apps; Wondershare Data Recovery for Mac, which is v3.0 and Wondershare Data Recovery for iTunes, which is v2. Where did you buy Data Recovery for iTunes? I don't find it sold in either the MAS or the iTunes App Store.
    Have you used the support link to the developer on the apps pane in the MAS? That is who Apple will direct you to contact.
    Did you remove the trial version before downloading and installing the paid MAS version(s)?

  • Tables are deleted but database size does not change in sql server 2008r2

    Hi All,
    20GB Tables are deleted in my database but database size does not change and disk size showing same size.

    Hi ,
    I have ran the Disk usage by Top Tables report and Identified couple of tables with unwanted data for last 5 years. I have deleted the data for the first 3 years and then ran the Disk usage by Top Tables report again. When I compared the report before
    and after the data deletion, I have noticed certain facts which is not matching with what I know or learned from experts like you. The following are the points where I am looking for clarification:
    1.Reserved (KB) has been reduced. I was expecting the data Reserved (KB) will remain the same after the data deletion. 
    2. The Data(KB) and Indexes(KB) fields have been reduced as expected. The Unused(KB) field have been increased as expected.
    I was expecting the total of Data(KB) and Indexes(KB) field space gained will be equal to the Unused(KB) field gained after deleting the data. But that is not the case. When I deducted(subtracted) the difference in  the Reserved(KB)(Difference before
    and after data deletion) field from the Total of space gained from the data deletion is equal to the Unused(KB) gained field value.
    I am not a SQL expert and not questioning but trying to understand whether we really gain space by deleting data from the tables. Also keen to get the concepts right, but my testing by deleting some records confused me.
    Looking ahead to all your expert advice.
    Thanks,
    Vennayat

  • Mail.app: 'Remove Address' does NOT Remove Address

    Hello,
    I am using OS X (10.9.5) running Mail.app (7.3 (1878.6)).
    When I reply-all to an email with multiple recipients in the CC line, if I right-click and 'Remove Address', it removes the address from the CC: line, and appears that the message will not go to this recipient.
    When I check my 'Sent' folder for this outbound message, I can see that all recipients that I removed by right-click > 'Remove Address' actually received the message that was not addressed to them.
    I can readily duplicate this failure with test email addresses.
    This is a critical defect.  Mail should not be delivered to unexpected recipients.  Mail should SPECIFICALLY not be delivered to recipients that have been explicitly removed from any of the address fields.  If the Remove Address feature does not work, perhaps remove it from the right-click options.
    Please fix this.
    I am aware of a workaround to use the 'Delete' key to remove addresses.  I will use that in the future.
    This violates the principle of least surprise in one of the worst possible ways.

  • Mail App and IMAP sync issues

    I am facing IMAP sync issues with Mail App ver 4.4. I have specified the automatic fetch interval as 1 minute. The problem is the App does not seem to send requests to the server to sync the Inbox folder alone, but it send requests to get STATUS and sync the other folders.
    Has anyone else faced similar issues.
    Radha

    Not many of us would set the interval to be only 1 minute -- too often for the speed of many connections. Have you tried 5 minutes to see if the behavior continues?

  • Mail.app + Google IMAP. Locally stored messages being dropped.

    I have an IMAP account setup under mail.app to sync with a gmail account, its was all working fine for a few months until a few weeks ago when I noticed that messages were missing from mail.app. I checked time machine and noticed that at some point my local storage of emails had dropped from ~5Gb to 300mb. All messages remained present under gmail.
    This is very annoying because Mail.app obviously figures out the discrepancy at some point and begins trying to cache the Gb's of messages that are missing, and this blows my tiny, expensive, Australian download quota.
    I've now just noticed that the same thing has happened again - I have been able to use Time Machine to retrieve the 5Gb worth of messages, however I'm not sure if I can just dump this back into the library>mail folder and hope that everything syncs back up without having to download the lot again.
    Anyone know how I might figure out what is causing the local messages to be deleted? And how I might safely move the 5Gb of local messages back allowing me to save some quote for the month?

    Same problem here today! Not good at all, i checked the settings of the account and even if i told mail to keep a local copy, all the messages disappeared.
    The thing doesn't affect the iphone mail luckily so i think that is a mail bug somewhere...

    From the Home screen, click the Home button twice.
