Mail.app recieves mail twice

I just recently bought my wife a 15" Macbook Pro Unibody.
It has been upgraded to SL.
What is happening is that every now and then it reloads the emails in mail.app for a second time.
ie last night it just all of a sudden downloaded 140 emails for a second time, dating back a week or so.
I do have it setup to leave the email on the server for 7 days that way if we are away from the house I can log in to the webmail and we can review them or forward one we might need to use.
I have the same setup on my macbook pro 17" and same preferences and it doesnt seem to do this at all. it has been running fine for 2 years in this configuration.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

I'm having the same issues with my MacBook since upgrading to SL. I even get emails re-appearing and duplicated as unread when I've already read them or deleted them.
Can anyone help?

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Mail app adds contact twice

When I start typing in a particular contact's name in Mail.app in Mavericks, Mail correctly auto-suggests the intended contact. In this case I started typing Anthony (see first screen shot). I confirm the suggestion by hitting the return key. On other contacts that simply fills in the contact's email address. On this particular contact, it fills in his name twice, sending him two copies of the email if I don't delete one of them (see second screen shot).
There aren't duplicate copies of this contact in the Contacts.app. He is being pulled in via Exchange server, so I can't delete the contact and attempt to enter him again. I don't have any groups set up.
Any thoughts on what could cause this?
Thanks,
bB

I seem to have the same issue as well c1natra
I have verified that I haven't entered in some "Text Shortcut" in the Keyboard system preferences that would be doing this as well.
Very curious.
Again, anyone have any suggestions?

Mac Mail stops recieveing mail with Gmail Accounts and Google Apps

Hi,
We're having some chronic issues with our corporate Google Apps / Gmail service when used with Mac Mail. Regardless of the OSX version... when it's not one thing it's another. It's nice to see that 10.9.4 finally correctly inserts the proper, full username in the SMTP field for Google Apps users.
We still have some problems where users stop receiving mail silently in the middle of their workday. It wouldn't be such an issue, except that Mac Mail pretends nothing is wrong and suddenly the person realizes they are 3 hours behind on their emails. Magically, quitting and re-opening mail resolves the issue. Even more disturbing, is this article on apple support which lists this stupidity as the official workaround
OS X: New email messages not received until Mail is quit and reopened
I suppose one could argue that Outlook 2011's integration with gmail accounts is even worse. There's something to be said about "AirMail" being the #2 app in all the appstore currently. Clearly Apple and Google aren't putting their best foot forward to make this work.
I guess what I'm looking for is something concrete other than "Restart Mail to get mail coming in again". Is there some workaround to see the connection status to see if something is stalled?

Googles version of an IMAP system works poorly with most clients. If you are going to use it then choosing a client that works the way Google wants them too is a wise course.
Of that breed MailPlane is easily the best, AirMail is a solid second.

Why is the Mail app deleting mail from my account?

Hi. I have used the mail app before and when i used it (i have hotmail) i connected it and all, but it started to delete mail from my hotmail account from the mail app. I have the newset software and i heard that a new mail app came. Is this fixed? I do not want to lose any emails from my hotmail account.
Thanks in advance!

My primary email account is with my ISP. Through their webpage access to my account, I have it set to forward all mail (without deleting it) to my MobileMe account. I have Mail set to acess my MobileMe account only. This allows me to get all my mail without any of it actually leaving the ISP's mailbox.

Problem with exchange 2007 SP3 and mac mail app loading mails

Hi,
since a few days i am having a problem with mac's (using either the included mail app or outlooc 2011 for mac) syncing mails with my exchange server. both, mail and outlook) connect successfully to my excahnge 2007 sp3 rollup 14 server, but when
they start syncing mail they dont load any mails or only load the headers and keep saying loading (of body)
when i open the https://server/EWS/Exchange.asmx on the browser it asks for the user/pwd and lets me open the xml once, the next time it crashes.
in the eventlog i am getting the error that: a process for app-pool MSExchangeServicesAppPool couldnt respond to a ping. the event id is 5010.
all my microsoft outlook accounts, outlook web acces and the mail on mobile devices (iphone and android) work fine.
does anyone have an idea what could be the issue for this strange behavior?
thanks,
chris

Hi,
According to the error message, "a process for app-pool MSExchangeServicesAppPool couldnt respond to a ping. the event id is 5010", I find a related article for your reference:
Event ID 5010 — IIS Application Pool Availability
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc734991(v=WS.10).aspx
Please follow the article to check whether application pool has been started.
Additionally, I notice that you said "all my microsoft outlook accounts, outlook web acces and the mail on mobile devices (iphone and android) work fine.", please run following command to check whether parameter "EwsAllowMacOutlook"
value is True:
Get-CasMailbox | FL
If the parameter "EwsAllowMacOutlook" value is False, please set it to True via following command:
Set-CasMailbox -Identity FQDN -EwsAllowMacOutlook $True
If still not work, please contact MAC Support for help. For your convenience:

Why can't I get MobileMe mail to show on iPad mail app, google mail only?

Within mail app on my ipad only google mail will show as an active account, no in box etc for my MobileMe mail? I've set the account for MobileMe up the same on my iPhone and both google & MobileMe mail accounts sit happily next to each other on that device. Any ideas, clever people. Incidentally all other aspects of MobileMe work great on iPad.

Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Select your MobileMe account.
Is Mail turned on in addition to Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, etc.?

HT1694 Frozen Mail App Allows Mail Download But Does Not Open Mail

Ok, i have the ipad 3 and i am not sue which ios 5 version i have but i nknow I am current on my updates. Regardless, the mail app locks up after updating for mail. It shows new mail, but when I click on the mail or any other buttons within the app nothing will occur.
Basically the app just downloads new mail and freezes up.

Try:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset : Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Delete the account from the iPad and recreate the account
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPad.
BTW, you posted in the iPod touch forum.

Migrating Panther Mail.app junk mail db and rules to Tiger?

My main server system is still running 10.3.9. I also run Mail.app there and I would like to copy my rules and my junk db over to Tiger's Mail.app. Is there a way to do it while leaving the rest alone?

All the Mail data files are in the /Home/Library/Mail/ folder. Just copy the folder to the new system's /Home/Library/ folder. This will transfer all your Mail data.

Mail App sending mail super slow.. ??

I am trying to send mail using my @me account and it sending super slow even for small text. as a test i just wrote test and sent and it was a couple minutes to send. Anyone else experiencing this problem?
I have restarted mail several times and restarted my macbook..
went to gmail to test and sent to my mac address and was instant. but all outgoings from mail app are like syrup
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Having a bit of a meltdown at the moment and would love my mac not to fail me at the worst time as well.....aarrggghh

An issue with DNS can arise when sending via the SMTP, and it will likely be different for different ISPs. To confirm this is the problem, please prepare two new messages for sending, before sending either of them. Then click to send the first one, and as soon as you hear the swoosh that it has gone out, click to send the second one. If the second goes out almost instantaneously, then it is correctable with a change in DNS.
Two citations, different approaches, but really both addressing DNS:

and
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8974547&#8974547
This happened for many people with the beginning of Mail 3 in Leopard, but some may only experience in Snow Leopard and Mail 4.x.
Two recent experiences people had can be found at:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11962726&#11962726
and
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12099641#12099641
I am not sure how to advise you in New Zealand, but your ISP should be able to provide you with explicit DNS addresses to enter. This not impact webmail sending, btw.
Keep us posted.

Mail.app Sent mail attachments disappear (blue ? block icon instead)

Hi,
I have been having this problem for some while now. When I look at my sent mail (stored on my mac) attachments randomly are not present and messages only show a blue block icon instead.
This happens with two accounts I have setup, me.com and gmail. Both are setup as imap. It happens with different kinds of files, pdfs, .doc, excel, etc.
I have rebuilt the mailboxes, repaired permissions, etc. but the problem persists.
Anyone experiencing anything like this?

Sounds to me like a problem on the receiving end, or that the mail server is damaging the e-mail somehow to cause a problem on the receiving end.
When you send rich-text e-mail, it is normal that there will be two copies of the message in the e-mail... one in HTML form and one in plain text. The e-mail client is supposed to show the appropriate one, and allow the user to view a different one if desired. (See the various "... Alternative" choices under Mail's View -> Message submenu.)
One solution would be to send plain text e-mails only. Mail's rich text e-mails are HTML, and Outlook can't handle HTML e-mail worth a darn.

Mail App and Mail, Contacts and Calendar Settings Crashing

After upgrading to 2.1 on 3G...
I posted a response to a post for Mail settings problem here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1708101&tstart=0 but noticed that after restarting my phone now the Mail application crashes and in some cases the Contacts app if open more than 10 seconds.
I've noticed a few posts and possible fixes on the forums like updating the Region but none of those solutions worked for me. I'm hoping an Apple "Genius" would read this and offer a fix!

I'm having a similar issue;
I go into Settings -> Email, contacts, etc.
Then i scroll to almost the very bottom. I see the first two items of "Calendar settings", but if I scroll further settings crash and I'm shoved back to the homescreen. EXTREMELY frustrating since I'm in sweden and the time zone is london I think - all my meetings are pushed 1 hour ahead.
I have an iPhone 3G with the latest 2.1 firmware.

Why does iPad crash when I open Mail app?

My iPad crashes (returns to home screen) each time I open the Mail app. Mail opens for just two seconds, then crashes.
All updates are current on Mac and iPad. I have synced the iPad with my Mac and power-cycled the iPad but nothing helps.
Can I delete and reload just the Mail app? If so, how is that done?
Or do I need connect the iPad to my Mac and do a full Restore of my iPad?
Any suggestions?
Thanks

1. Delete the mail account from your iPad
2. Clean out your mail server. This is typically the webmail from your mail service provider.
3. Readd the account.
Even if you clear out the server, if the account isn't deleted and readded only when the server is clean then the iPad will still try to download the email.
As I wrote earlier:
I have reinstalled my email account twice I got my iPad three weeks ago then and today the problem has risen again.
It may be a solution here and now but I don't find it reasonable that we have to delete and reenter our account info every time we need to use our mail app.
Already from the start there were problems; the mail app froze and I had to restart my iPad...2-3 times during the first couple of days. Normally I am a type who takes this rather casual but I do not think Apple wants us to reinstall our mail account every couple of days, huh? ;o)

Having trouble removing a student email account from the Windows Mail App because the school has started using office 365 for thier email which i dont have access to

I was wondering if anybody has any ideas on how to remove a gmail account that was set up by a community college for use on their mail servers and then find out that after awhile they have locked you out because they have started using office 365 for their
emails and you are left with a student email account that you have no idea how to delete because you have missied out on deleting it before they changed to a different email provider?
Anybody with ideas please help because I don't know what to do

Hi,
Regarding to Windows Mail App, do you mean the Modern UI App in Windows 8.1? Do you mean that you want to remove the email account from Mial App? Generally, we can simply remove the account by the "Account" option in Mail App (Open Mail App, move
the mouse the right chram bar, click Account, then click the mail account\Remove account), but if the email acocunt is tied with the Microsoft Account which is used on the pc, in that case, it is unavailable to remove the email account, you need to contact
your college to disconnect the Microsoft Account.
If I'm misunderstanding something, please free correct me.
