Mail goes to wrong box

My incoming mail automtically goes to a deleted messages folder without going to my inbox. I obviously have clicked the wrong button, but I can't seem to figure it out. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Have you confirmed that both the Addressbook and the Previous Recipients info is present and complete? For example, if the Previous Recipients were somehow corrupted, then all messages would go there regardless of whether in the AB. For the Rule as written with the OR, both address listing would have to be identical. I would think you meant a test that would use AND.
But having noted this, I would not expect every message to trigger the move, unless something has gone wrong with one of the source listings. In the Finder, open Home/Library/Applications Support/AddressBook. Check the date of last modification of the file named MailRecents.v4 is it recent or stale?

  • Mail going to wrong account 2

    I amm also having mail going to th wrong accounts, luckily it is only happening to few out of 170+ accounts.
    Pterobyte- I seen your suggestions on the other similiar post and cannot seem to find anything wrong in those areas.
    I am enclosing current postconf & smtplog for your info.
    Let me know if there is anything else you need.

    Jeff:
    I have gotten hostname as you suggested, and thus far seen one Helo failure prior to that, so thanks for the tip.
    The queue is running like 150k to 170k, I've got content filter off right in order to isolate problems.
    This wrong account issue is causing some severe creditability issues with this server as you can imagine.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Mail going to wrong account

    Two of my mail servers that I manage are delivering mail to the wrong account
    for example some emails sent to say [email protected] are ending up in [email protected]
    If you look at the header sam is not a recipient nor is she a forward in aliases
    any help would be greatfully recieved

    These are possible causes for an e-mail to end up in the wrong place:
    -additional shortnames in WGM
    -forward set in WGM
    -a .forward file in the user's mail directory
    -an alias in /etc/postfix/aliases
    -an alias in /etc/postfix/virtual
    -a sieve script
    -a bcc
    -a catchall account
    -an autoforward by the original recipient
    Hope I didn't miss any.
    You should check all these possibilities. If you still need help, post relevant log entries and the unmodified output of postconf -n

  • Incoming mail goes to wrong mailbox

    I recently created a rule in Mail to send all messages from a certain address to a specific mailbox. Trouble is, now about 50% of ALL my mail goes to that mailbox (instead of the Inbox), even if it doesn't come from the address specified in the rule.
    What do I need to do to make sure that incoming messages not otherwise directed by one of my rules all end up in my Inbox?

    It sounds like an error in the mail rule.  Pay particular attention to the Any or All criteria.

  • Why are sent emails from mac mail going to out box and message saying cannot connect to ATT server?

    I receive emails via ATT to my mac mailbox. But when I send an email it goes to the out box and I get a message that it cannot connect to the server?
    The genius bar said that APPLE and ATT were working on this, but very frustrating. Any suggestions?

    Same is happening with me.  Was having intermittent DSL service - called AT&T to rectify.
    After the internet was back up and running, I could no longer send outgoing mail from my Mac Mail 5.3 application.  I didn't change any settings or update any software, yet the IT person i was talking to (the same who corrected my internet issue) was saying it was a Mail problem.
    I disagree considering it was working 1/2 hour before we started our conversation!
    Any insight would be helpful.
    Definitely set up the way AT&T suggested!

  • Multiple copies of e-mails in the wrong family account.

    I have a family account for MobileMe set up with only two accounts, one for my wife and one for me.
    MobileMe syncs 3 computers (iBook, new MacBook and a 24" iMac all running OS X 10.5.6) and an iPhone 2.5G and an iPod touch.
    When an e-mail is sent to my wife, it appears 3 times in my InBox and not at all in her InBox. Messgaes sent to me only appear once, correctly, in my InBox.
    Has anyone any ideas about what could be causing this? For instance, does having 3 computers have some bearing on it?
    John

    A further thought is that multiple e-mails in the wrong InBox only occurs when the sender has a mac.com or me.com account. I have noticed that "outside" e-mails addressed to my wife go into her InBox correctly.
    But this may not be true of all e-mails.
    Also, after making some changes to my Mail prefs, I am now only getting 2 e-mails in the wrong box!
    Note: I was reducing the choices for incoming mail servers. No smpt.mac.com. Only smpt.me.com.

  • Incoming mail going into Drafts folder

    I don't have any mail rules set. I get hundreds of emails a day all going to my Inbox (or Junk). Mail from one particular sender goes into my Drafts folder so I usually miss it. How can I stop this?

  • Mail going into junk folder that's not junk

    I have tons of emails suddenly going into my junk folder, but they are not even being marked as junk email. These are emails that used to always come in fine. It's happening to all my accounts, so I don't think it's to do with the provider, especially since one is my Mac account. Any idea what's going on?

  • Mail delivered to wrong recipient

    The backend is GW 8.0.2, clients are GW7.0.4, although I don't think the problem is client related. We recently made two changes:
    1. Changed the preferred SMTP domain name from xyz.com to abc.com (examples, obviously)
    2. Changed the preferred address format from User ID@Internet domain name to First Name.Last Name@Internet domain name
    The second change introduced two issues that had to be manually addressed - removal of spaces and ambiguity due to users with the same first and last name. I addressed both of these by going to GroupWise|Internet Addressing, clicking Override next to Preferred Address Format and manually entering a Preferred EMail ID so Johann von Scott became [email protected] instead of Johann.von [email protected], and adding a middle initial for duplicates so that the second John Smith became [email protected].
    We've got two users who are now receiving mail from Internet senders that is intended for a different user. It's not 100%, either - sometimes the mail goes to the correct mailbox, sometimes not. And it's not that they're swapped - user 1 may get some mail intended for user 2, but user 2 doesn't get any mail intended for user 1. The user's names are not similar (one is "Mary Jones" while the other is "John Smith", for example). They are in the same post office, and both users needed to have their Preferred Mail ID entered manually. They have unique FIDs.
    Everything looks right with the mail - it just gets delivered to the wrong mailbox. The users do not have proxy rights to each other's mailboxes. There are no rules that would forward messages to the user getting them by mistake, and the message never arrives in the correct recipient's mailbox. The inbound GWIA log shows it is addressed to the correct user, and once it's in the system, I don't know how to do trace it any further. Is there a message tracing tool I can use?
    My suggestion - for testing purposes only - is to move one of the users to a different post office, in a different domain, but that shouldn't be necessary.
    I cannot find any references to this happening before. Anyone else experiencing this?

    I know this is a long-dormant thread, but the problem reared its ugly head again, this time in a different domain. The symptoms are exactly the same - mail delivered to the wrong account (in this case, mail intended for a resource is delivered to a user), both have their preferred e-mail address overriden (one has a space in their last name, the other doesn't want to be [email protected] so is manually set to userID@domain name as their preferred format). Various repairs did not make a difference. The workaround before was to move one of the accounts to a different domain (we have one post office per domain), and we are going to do the same this time.

  • Good mail going to Junk folder -- even Apple mail

    I know there are other threads on this, but no one seems to have a resolve for it.
    Mac OS X 10.6.8
    Just got my computer repaired at Apple, new harddrive, new video card.  So it's starting anew.
    However, even my MacBookAir is putting my GOOD MAIL in my JUNK FOLDER.  So it's universal on all my devices.
    Why is my mail going to my junk folder.  It's annoying to have to check every single piece of mail with "this is not junk" and then drag it to the IN box.  And then even that doesn't work.  I'll still receive the email from the same sender back into my Junk Folder.
    I see a LOT, hundreds, of VIEWS for this issue, but no one is yet to resolve it.
    Hope someone can solve it.  Thanks

    Well, let's put it this way, it was never a problem before.  A new harddrive was installed on my computer so I'm starting from scratch.  I have no "rules" set yet.  My mail supplier is MAC --.mac, .icloud -- mail.  So my provider is MAC or APPLE I guess.  It's mac mail.
    Everything is set to "default" right now. I followed someone else's instructions to RESET the Junk Mail.  Did that.
    But I don't know any other proceedures to take to stop ALL MY MAIL from going into the JUNK EMAIL BOX.
    Never did that before, so there must be some setting, or not, that is causing it to do that.
    I have "enable junk mail filtering" checked.  The following types of messages are EXEMPT, my address book, previous recipients, messages using my full name, all checked.
    Certainly "previous recipients" should not be sent to the junk folder if that option is checked to be exempt.
    What's left?

  • Mail going slow and churning

    I have six mail accounts. i have mail going back at least five years on the mac so I appreciate I have a lot there. Mail is now very difficult to use when switching from one mailbox to another for example, it is very slow with lots of time spent gazing at the spinning beach ball. I have switched checking mail to every 5 mins instead of every 1 minute and that helped a little. But once it starts to perform all the rule actions and rebuilding of virtual folders the app is unavailable. Any suggestions on how to speed life up?
    cheers.

    OK. Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, and making sure that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
    1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is stored.
    3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
    4. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

  • I checked the wrong box on for a website I use frequently and now recieve the message "Access to xpcom is denied. Set "signed.applets.codebase_principal_support=true" in about:config"; how can I change this?

    I am tech challenged. I know this is probably a setting that just needs to be changed but I have idea on how or where to go to change it. It appears to be a security setting - I checked the wrong box on a firefox popup regarding access. The site is grammarly.com and when I attempt to paste my copy to be grammar checked it won't allow me to do so, and I get the above quoted message. Please help!

  • Incoming mail going to Archive, not Inbox

    On Dec, 2 I submitted this question:
    Dec 2, 2013 6:12 AM 
    My incoming mail now goes to the archive file instead of the inbox file. I have changed nothing and it still shows up in the inbox but allnew notifications go to the archive file. I am using OSX 10.9  Any ideas hoiw to fix this?
    iMac, OS X Mountain Lion 
    It was suggested to delete the account and then add it anew. That seemed to work fine, but two weeks later it all began again. All the incoming mail goes to an Archive folder and no new notifications are shown in the new mail accopunt? I hate to have to delete and reopen the accoiunt every few weeks.
    Any ideas? I see the same issue on other discussions but no explanations?

    What email program are you using?
