Mail downloads emails over and over agin

I have used Mail for years and as always worked fine but a couple of weeks ago after some updates this append!
In my Mail app, i am having a problem with receiving "duplicate" emails. i will get an email, and after in downloads to Mail, the "spinning circle" (next to the INBOX icon) keeps on spinning...then a duplicate of the email downloads. to stop the "spinning circle". i have to "force quit" Mail.
if i delete the "duplicating email" and launch Mail again, they appear agin like if they weren't deleted at all and agin Mail app starts downloading the same emails agin. After a few times I have like 10 copys of the same emails.
The only way to delete emails is to delete al preferences for library. But then i configures my email account the the story repeats.
I have even reinstalled mac os x but it append agin!
Just wondering if anyone knows about this problem or as having the same problem!!
I really doubt I'm the only one and aging if think the problem is something to do whit apple updates
thank you....

THe mail application on your iPod is a little different to the one on your Mac. They are coded slightly differently. Can you use this mail account on another Mac? If you can, then there may be something up with your Mac, and we can try to help you. If not, I suspect that there is something incorrect/incompatible with your mail server/account.
Thanks

Can't download email over ethernet

Greetings!
I can surf the web over my ethernet connection, but Mail can't download email over the same connection.
Does anybody have any idea what is going on?
Thanks very much in advance.
Kevin

Hello Kevin.
What does “Mail can't download email” mean? What’s the problem exactly? Is it that Mail doesn’t check for mail on this account, or that it checks but downloads nothing, or what? What type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)? What error messages do you get, if any? More info, please.
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Leave checked (enabled) only the port configuration needed to connect to Internet and Built-in Ethernet (in that order if not the same), uncheck (disable) the rest of network port configurations and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
In Mail, open Window > Connection Doctor. What does it say?
Could it be that Mail or this particular account is in an “offline” state? Is the Mailbox > Go Online command enabled or disabled?
Go to Preferences > Accounts > Advanced. Is Include when automatically checking for new mail ON or OFF?
What’s the time interval chosen in Preferences > General > Check for new mail?
Open Window > Activity Viewer and tell Mail to check for mail on this account. What do you see there?
Open the Account Info window by choosing Get Info (⌘I) from the Action menu (gear icon) located below the mailbox list in the main Mail window. Does Mail display there the messages that it doesn’t download? Do they appear as already downloaded or as not downloaded yet (dot column)?

Mac Mail downloading archived, deleted and trash email from my Gmail account.

I just purchased a new MacBook Pro Retina - retiring my old MacBook. When I synced Gmail with my Mac Mail all archived/deleted Gmail is coming in like new into my Mac Mail Inbox. This was never the case before. Any idea how to stop this? It's downloading thousands of emails in the order I received them.

Turns out a hard reset did the trick

Mac Mail downloading emails in an infinite loop.

I can't sort this out:
When I opened my brand new MacBookPro today OS X 10.6.7 was frozen and I had to force a shut down.
Once the computer was back on I tried to open Mail but I had a message that said that the index was corrupted and I had to create a new one.
Once a new index was created, Mac Mail has started downloading the last 480 emails I received in an infinite loop. It has already downloaded over 10K times the same emails!!
I have tried to rebuild the mailbox and I have deleted the index file a few times but the problem persist.
Please help!! I got a lot of work right now, I need my Mac Mail.

Well I'm having the same problem after also trying to send an email with photos as attachments.
The email keeps getting put into my draft mailbox "On My Mac". I've tried removing the attachments and then deleting the email,I've tried deleting the mailbox, I've been to the server and deleting the email I found there, but as you say, everytime, it comes back from the dead. I've gone to my mail preferences and changed the port and nothing seems to work. What is strange, is that everytime I click on the OK button on the error message, it starts again and puts another copy of the message into the draft mailbox, so I end up with multiple copies of the same email, complete with attachments.
I've tried turning airport off while I do this, and then turning it back on after deleting, but it hasn't helped.
I'm baffled as to what to try next.

Downloading email attachments and changing settings..please help

Can anyone help me understand how I can change the download settings for inbound emails? In attempting to download attachments, often I either can't open them, or they appear in a box and I can see them download but can't open them after clicking on them. Also, some of the attachments open the quicktime window as if I'm making a new movie or watching one already on the hard drive. Thanks folks

Please Clarify. Do you use an online e-mail page (such as Gmail) or do you use an app on your iMac (like Mail.appl or Entourage)? Where are you saving your files?

When my wife goes to login to Yahoo mail, my email Id and password automatically appear. How do I tell Firefox not to populate these fields with my id and passwords. Basically how do we not have firefox automatically fill in these fields.

When my wife was already login to our shared computer, I went into Yahoo email and told the computer to save my login and password. Now, everytime my wife goes to login to her Yahoo email my ID and Password are filled in. How do we have firefox not remember the Yahoo ID and Password for anyone?

Since updating to ios7 i keep getting requests to enter my password for yahoo mail, my email account, and the itunes account details too. The email is connected though and i have no problem receiving new emails. Any ideas ?

...I am also concerned as I found an email in my sent items today to someone i have never heard of before....saying hello. I suspect this might mean the problem is the yahoo account maybe hacked but I have no idea....thanks, Stewart

It sounds as if your account has been compromised. I would recommend logging into those accounts from your computer and their websites and changing your password.

Thunderbird is locking up on a message and I have to delete it on Bellsouth otherwise it will download the same email over and over. How do I fix?

It started a couple of weeks ago. I noticed one email being downloaded several times. After checking a lot of things I deleted the e-mail on Bellsouth and Thunderbird then downloaded all of my e-mails. Over time it has started to do this several times in one batch of e-mails. The downloading bar will say it's down loading 1 (or whatever the number is) of say 71 messages. It may download 1 or more then it stops downloading. I go into Bellsouth and delete the last message downloaded and hit Get Mail in Thunderbird to start the process over.
If I don't delete the last e-mail downloaded when I hit Get Mail Thunderbird will download the same e-mail again and stop. Some times it will start a download and work for an extended time and then stop the download without downloading a single e-mail.

That sounds like an anti virus choking on a mail. Norton is fond of doing this, but it is not alone.

My computer has been infected with a Trojan Horse. It has completely taken over my Mac email account and was sending out malicious email to everyone in my address book. At the same time it infected my iPhone---I am no longer able to receive or send emai

My computer has been infected by a Trojan Horse. It has taken over my Mac email account and began sending out malicious emails to everyone in my address book. I cleared out my MAC address book and began using my AOL email account. It took a few days and then my AOL email account was infected and has now been send out malicious email to all my contacts for over a month. It has also infected my iPhone--I am no longer able to send or receive emails on my iPhone. Also, once the Trojan Horse began using my AOL email it completely blocked me from using my MAC account by sending never ending popups asking for my email password to access my MAC email account, but it never accepts my pass word. The TH has also slowed down everything on my computer. It's like I am working on an old PC with dial up connection instead of the high speed digital connection that I have. The little color wheel spins constantly as I wait for sometimes over a minute for a page to pull up. If it pulls up at all. I have tried to use the 2 disks that came with my computer to completely remove everything on my computer and then reinstall all the programs, but I am not allowed to sweep my computer clean. I thought maybe my disks that came with my computer were defective so I called Apple and they sent me 2 new disks. I am not able able to clear my computer with the 2 new disks either. I have done this before successfully so it's not something new to me. I do remember when I believe my computer became infected: I had googled an unusual sewing term, and I was opening what appeared to be legitimate sites, when all of a sudden a pop up appeared that said that my computer had been infected. I immediately shut my computer off, but it was too late. I downloaded a virus program for Mac, and it has never found a virus or problem at all. I think it is part of this Trojan Horse, but I am unable to delete it from my computer. It refuses to uninstall. The Mac Trojan Horse is real and it is terrible. If anyone has any suggestions for me I would be very appreciative,
Beth

Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

- Have you tried resetting your iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Can you access the mail account(s) on another device and look for a problem email that may be causing the problem
- You could try deleting account(s) and recreating them

Keep receiving same email over & over and NO new emails

I have been unable to receive new email; every time I hit get mail I get the same old email. This only applies to this one email address [[email protected]] and Mozilla Thunderbird. My second specialty email address [[email protected]] is unaffected. In addition I can see new emails when I go to google mail.

Still waiting for some additional help.
I prefer using Thunderbird, but this is frustrating having to go to two different email clients.
It appears my 1 email address is blocked and can no longer receive additional emails via Thunderbird. Every time I get mail I only receive one email & it is the same last one which I have now deleted over 75 times. 8-13-14 at 8:22pm.
I have shut down & re-started over 30 times.
No problem with Google Mail.
My other email address which comes via Thunderbird has no problems.

TS3899 Our CEO has an iPhone and an iPad. Everytime he is at a specific airport (BWI) he is unable to send or recieve email over 4G or wifi. Everything else seems to work just fine over wifi or 4G LTE. Has anyone ever seen anything similar? is this malwar

Our CEO has an iPhone and an iPad. Everytime he is at the Baltimore Washington Airport (BWI) he is unable to send or recieve email over 4G or wifi. Everything else seems to work just fine over wifi or 4G LTE. Has anyone ever seen anything similar? is this malware?
Both devices are on Verizons 4G LTE network. Both devices do have some of the same APPS installed. Can this be a case of him connecting to a rogue wifi network of a hacker that may have installed malicious code on his devices when he connected? That would explain why only his devices have the same exact issue only at BWI airport.

Something similar I've experienced. I was once having to use a AT&T hotspot and the iPad simply refused to access my mail via the mail app. But if I used safari I could get it. So the internet was working, but my supposition is that something with the hotspot's firewall messes with mail exchange.
next time your boss is at BWI, do you guys have a web interface? (for example if I wanted to access my work mail I could get them to set it up via the mail app and exchange, or I could go to a certain web address and access my mail that way via safari)
He could try using safari and the web interface if you have it.
If it's something in the hotspot's firewall I doubt it's anything that can be changed.

Old mail downloads icons all over desktop on startup

All my previous mail download files appear all over my desktop on startup. I have emptied them in the trash and they still show up.
I'll really appreciate some help on this.

This could be caused by any number of problems, but first, I'd launch Mail, open the Preferences (from the "Mail" menu), and check the 5th Pop-up Menu in the General Pane ("Downloads Folder") to make certain you didn't (accidentally?) change it to "Desktop."
The default path for your Mail Downloads folder is:
~(User Home)/Library/Mail Downloads
If your Mail Prefs aren't the culprit, I'd get a copy of DiskWarrior and run it - soon.
