Mail app regurgitates deleted email back into Inbox

Earlier today Mail's dock icon indicated 3 new msges. Having Mail in Full screen mode I swipe to it and to my surprise old msges. from 2009!! were brought out of nowhere back into the Inbox. Having 4 accounts (2 POP, 2 IMAP (both Gmail)), the Inbox now had a total of 130 msges.
How is this possible for old emails which were trashed and deleted (permanent deletion set when Quitting Mail) long ago are revived? Where would this old email be stored?

I am having this issue as well. Here are the steps I have taken and it is still going on:
Deleted my ME account from all of my devices
Deleted undesired emails from icloud
Emptied iCloud junk and trash folders
Checked all my iCloud email settings to make sure trash gets emptied etc.
About 5-15 minutes later there are about 11 emails that keep coming back. This is getting old and if not fixed in a few days will be closing all of my iCloud accounts for good.

  • Mac Mail keeps moving deleted emails back into inbox

    How to stop Mail from moving deleted messages back to inbox?

    I've had the same problem for several months. I can't archive emails to the archive folder. They keep moving back into the inbox. I have to keep moving them several times before they stay put.

  • How can I get my emails back into my hotmail account from the Mail app

    Dear Apple support team
    I started using the Mail app some weeks ago because I apparently needed it, to be able to open an invitation for an iCloud shared photo folder. As soon as I registered my email into the Mail app all my emails from my hotmail account where deleted from the hotmail server. I really hope that this is possible to revert because if not, it'd be a catastrophe for me. I use that account from several devices for work, and I need those old emails in the server to be able to work again!
    I'd really appreciate any advice on this!
    Many thanks,
    Pier

    You can use the iPhoto Export feature to do that. Furthermore, it's the best way if you want to keep the quality of the pictures.
    To put the photos in the Pictures folder, first open iPhoto and then, select Edit menu (on the menu bar) > Select All. Finally, go to File menu > Export, and export your photos to the Pictures folder, so they will appear on all Time Machine backups you create since then

  • My old hotmail emails only appears in Mail.app, but dispears from my hotmail inbox. what can I do to get them back to my hotmail inbox?

    Hi All
    I am trying to using mails.app as my email manage software. once I setup my hotmail account on it. I noticed that all my hotmail old emails are missing from my web hotmail inbox, but in mails.app software. does anyone know how do I get my old emails back to my web hotmial inbox pleaes?

    Hi Shang_Li,
    Unless you pay for the Hotmail premium account, the default mail access for Hotmail is POP3. By default when you "pop" a message off the mail server it removes that message from the server. That's why the messages are missing from the web interface. When you configure POP you have the option to leave a copy on the server for a specific period of time.
    Here's a good URL that explains the process - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3228
    If you don't want mail to be removed off the server you can just uncheck the box that's mentioned in the above article. Or if you do want to have messages removed you can specify how long they're kept on the server (viewable on the web) after you access them in Mail.

  • I have iphone 5c.  Having email problem.  Does not delete emails showing in inbox from date 8/27 thru 9/23.   When deleted, these same emails repopulate in inbox.  What is going wrong?  How do I fix the problem?

    Ihave iphone5c.  Does not permanently delete emails showing in inbox.  When they are move to Trash then inbox at first shows empty.  However if you leave Mailbox and return then all the emails that were previously deleted and now repopulated in Inbox.  I have tried various things like marking them "read" before deleting, then moving them to Trash, and they still return.  What is going wrong and how do I fix the problem?

    What your describing sounds lot like Nortons anti virus, but other do it to.
    Multiple copies of the same email over and over are almost always anti virus incoming mail scanning. Turn off scanning and the problem goes away turn it back on and it resumes.
    My guess is that your filter issues, and search problems are also related to this uniquitous and most ignored security tool that messes up far more than it should..
    Deleting the index
    I assume you mean the global-messages-db.sqlite. if you don't close Thunderbird and delete it now. Searches will be incomplete until it rebuilds and the time to do that will have a lot to do with how much mail there is and how busy the computer is.
    Now create an exclusion in your anti virus program for the Thunderbird profile folders. My guess is it is trying to scan the files in your profile every time Thunderbird tries to open them and generally turning things into a tug of war, which Thunderbird looses as it just does not wait around if files are locked. It expects exclusive access to it's files immediately, not in 10 minutes when the anti virus has done it's thing. So things get added to the index but not removed. Mails don't move as the destination or source file is "in use" etc.

  • After adding a new account, I can't delete emails from the inbox of this account.

    I just added a sixth account to my Thunderbird installation. There was no problem adding the account and I can send and receive emails without problem. However, I cannot delete emails from the inbox. What should I do to correct this?

    It is a POP account.
    I just backed up the profile.
    I don't know the size of the inbox nor how to see what it is nor change it. However, the inbox for this account is currently empty. (Yes, I know this post is about not being able to delete emails from the inbox, so how can it be empty? In my research I found a post of someone with the same problem who discovered he could move emails from the inbox to another folder and then delete that folder (not the individual mails in the folder, but only the entire folder). That is how I emptied the inbox, but it is a very cumbersome work around that I shouldn't have to do.

  • Folders appearing in IMAP/Mail.app - cannot delete

    I've had several odd mailboxes/folders appear in one of my IMAP accounts over the last 6 months or so. They appear only in Mail.app. If I log into the browser-based email client for that account, these mailboxes/folders are not visible. The name of each begins with "nfs" and is followed by various sorts of junk, e.g.:
    nfs00000000d809d85c000021bd
    nfs00000000d8602f56000010a1
    nfsd8bd59e5000075b7
    None of the mailboxes have any messages in them. I wouldn't care too much except that they take up a line each on the left-hand pane of Mail.app, pushing mailboxes I want to see down and off-screen.
    If I right-click/control-click on one and choose "Delete Folder," I get the following error message:
    "The IMAP command 'DELETE' failed with server error: Mailbox does not exist or must be subscribed to.."
    I've done a lot of searching online and have found no solutions to this problem. Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    EH

    Problem may have been on the server. The folders did show up there, where they caused some problems with the browser-based email client, making it impossible for me to manage my folders there. Tech support for my server managed to locate and delete them. Still not sure how/why they appeared in the first place.
    I'm going to mark this question as answered, though I still don't know for sure where the problem arose (Mail.app vs. server weirdness).

  • HT6030 deleted emails reappearing in InBox?

    In Mail, messages I've deleted or moved to a folder keep reappearing in the In Box.  Have been using Mail for 10 years and this hasn't happened before. For instance, I'll read an update from a newsgroup then delete when done, which will temporarily move the message to the trash can.  However, say I go have lunch and then return to the screen, frequenly (nor always) the messages I've deleted are back as though I'd done nothing.  It's a bit like induced alzheimers.  Anyone have any ideas why it might be doing this?  Thanks in advance.

    Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Reg iPhone Mail App (downloading of emails)

    Hi,
    Does iPhone download the entire email when we check for emails?
    Scenario:
    - Open iPhone mail app
    - receive 10 emails
    - open the email to read the contents
    - get ‘loading’ icon..seems as if that’s when it’s trying to get the email
    - the contents received in few seconds depending on the email
    - move on to next email…and see the same loading icon
    Is it that mail app downloads just the headers and the content is downloaded when you actually open that particular email? Ideally, I would like the email to be downloaded completely to my phone…this way I can quickly check my emails and move across the messages.
    I believe Blackberry works differently where the entire email is downloaded and only attachment is downloaded when you try to access it.
    Thanks,

    I have just received the new iphone 4th generation. I have a data plane for 200mb per month.
    My question is wether iphone downloads the whole email message or if it downloads only the headers? If it downloads the whole message, can I opt for only the headers?
    It seems from the first day of use it downloads all messages including the attachments and thus my data usage is huge. In my old Nokia phone only when I required to read the email it will go ahead to download the whole message-is this possible with iphone?
    Marios.

  • Email and junk mail/deleting mail...re-downloads junk into inbox!

    When I mark an email as junk, it re-downloads it and puts it back into the inbox. Also, Mail is VERY slow when doing this (3  minutes to delete an email??)  on a mid-2010 iMac 27"...I cannot clear my inbox of trash and junk when it re-downloads everything, and then marks it as unread a SECOND time (even though it seems to know the messages were previously marked as junk) Mail has gone from being efficient under 10.7 to clunky and unresponsive in 10.8. Please help!!

    I can't tell from what you wrote, but I wonder if you have the email setup as POP and not IMAP.  Re-downloading is typically associated with a POP setup.

  • Deleted Emails Come back into Inbox

    I have a iPhone 3GS with POP3 email account. When i delete emails from the iPhone inbox, occassionally I'll receive the same emails as "new" emails into my inbox again...after they've been deleted. Sometimes i delete by sliding the message to show the delete button, sometimes i use the edit to delete multiple emails and sometimes i delete from within the message. i have the settings set to delete from server when deleted from inbox. any thoughts?

    I have the same problem on MacBook Pro using os 10.5.8 with Mail 3.6.
    I discovered that if I look at emails that have been sent to trash select them and press delete they all come back. When I do the proper erase deleted messages then they don't.
    This might be useful on your iphone.
    I now have emails coming back to me weeks, or months after I have deleted them, particularly ones with photos attached that I have sent through Kodak EasyShare, and copied to myself!! does anyone know what I can do about this? apart from being a waste of time, I might receive 100 photos in one day which slows everything down and effects my data usage.

  • Grouped mail keeps spilling back into inbox

    hihi all,
    i have been using me.com to push all my other domain emails. i am a windows user so to make new groups for organizing my mail i have to login to me.com on safari browser.
    anyway, everything was working fine, but a little while ago i noticed my inbox would get corrupt. when i go into my iphone mail program and it says "Loading new messages" it would load a few messages that i have already read and moved into other group folders. so my inbox would have a mix of new messages and some old ones. then when i clear my inbox again, it would again keep loading back other old messages into my inbox.
    basically, all my organizing of emails for a few months is useless as everything is being moved back into my inbox.
    why is this happening?
    (why is this email thing on iphone so full of problems, it's been one thing after the other... it's supposed to be simple, but it's so buggy and flaky... works sometimes and does weird things at other times... c'mon apple -- fix all the iphone email issues once and for all -- i got the iphone because of email and if you can't get it right i will go to blackberry)
