Mail is duplicating all emails-Can't delete or open

When I open Mail, the little wheel keeps spinning and spinning and every time I open it, I get a duplicate copy of every email I've received since Sept. 4. It won't let me delete or open mail. I've already called my service provider and it's set up right. Help!

Have a look at Mail menu, Prefs, Accounts, Advanced.
Is there a tick by > Remove copy from server after retrieving a message: (Is it set to One Month?)
After backing up your Mail folder, it may be worth trying Mailbox menu, Rebuild.

  • I have deleted all emails from my ICloud email account but my manage storage still shows that the mail is using 9.7GB.  Why isn't the number decreasing if all emails have been deleted?

    I have deleted all emails from my ICloud email account but my manage storage still shows that the mail is using 9.7GB.  Why isn't the number decreasing if all emails have been deleted?

    It might be caused by storage "buffering".  If so, the space will adjust automatically when another iCloud feature uses the space previously allocated to your deleted email.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4873.

  • Mail messages disappear - just a blank mail message for all emails

    Mail messages disappear - just a blank mail message for all emails.
    This happens sporadically since I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2.
    It happens on all of my machines (Macbook Air, + iMacs) so it must be a software bug.
    Is there an update coming through for Mail?

    Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox.

  • IOS Mail Retaining All Email, Can't Selectively Delete Old Messages

    Thought I missed something in setup for my POP3 accounts, but apparently not. Got almost a years worth of email on the device with thousands of messages, many with large attached files, and no apparent way to trim it down. Unlike every other mobile PDA device I’ve ever owned, there is no way to set a limit to how many days/months/years of email messages that an iPhone will retain. There is also no way to selectively choose email messages for deletion based on how many days/months/years old they are. Am I missing something fairly obvious here?

    Webmail on a server has no effect on POP3 clients, like the iPhone's IOS mail. Once they're picked up by the email client, only the client, itself, can access them.
    Email clients for more than 30 years have had this basic function. Absolutely amazing that Apple deliberately left it out of this one.

  • IPad is frozen on email, can't delete, move, or go to mail box

    On mail iPad is frozen on an email, I cannot delete, move, or look at other emails or go to mailbox, how do I unfreeze?

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : 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.
    If that doesn't work 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.

  • The e mail address in my I tunes setting is different but when I update my apps a different e mail address come . How can I delete the e mail address which shows for updating apps

    The e mail address which is in the setting of my I tune store does not show up when I install apps or update them it shows a different email address how can I delete the e mail which shows up while updating apps & switch to the one already in my settings

    All apps include DRM protection that is tied to the Apple ID that was used to download the apps.
    This means the apps that need an update were downloaded with the Apple ID you are being prompted for.

  • HT4859 my email account was hacked and ive lost all emails can i restore them from icloud

    My email account was hacked and i've lost all my emails can I restore from icloud?

    Not if they've been deleted.  You could check your trash folder to see if they're still there.  If not, they're gone.

  • All emails & texts disappear / deleter

    For the second time in a month my Classic deleted all emails & texts pre-dating 6pm today. All that has survived are a couple of random What'sApp messages.
    A month ago the same happened for 5 weeks' worth of emails & texts.
    All relevant emails are on my laptop, so not a server problem.
    Any idea what is going on here?

    On the chance that it is some glitch in the Hub and the data is really still there, you should try resetting the Hub. You don't mention trying, so here is how to do it.
    Swipe diagonally down from top right to the left, and repeat four or five times. It takes practice to not drag down the quick settings or swipe away from the Hub. When you get it the Hub will go blank and then show a message that it is resetting.
    Hopefully that is the fix. I don't have any further ideas.

  • Email froze, cannot delete or open!

    email froze. cannot delete or open

    Quit mail and restart.
    In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that doesn't work, reset the iPad.
    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.

  • Changed permissions for a folder and items - now can't delete or open

    Hello
    I was recently playing around with the Get Info button when right clicking on a folder or icon. I was trying to lock the folder so it could not be accessed (except with a password). I ended up locking it with the check box, then changing the privileges to No Access at the bottom under Ownership and Permissions and Details (all drop down menus were set to No Access). Also, now the checkbox is greyed out, so I can't uncheck it...
    I was working on an external drive and then transferred the folder to my G5. However, while I can access the folder, I can not open the items I locked down. I also can not delete the folder and I keep getting "You Do not have sufficient privileges". I tried switching the Owner back to my own name (since it got set somehow to System), but after clicking the little lock and entering my password, it says "The operation could not be completed...An unexpected error occured (error code 120)".
    Basically, how can I delete this folder or move it to the trash? And also, is there any good way to lock down folders so you need a password to get in?
    Thank you
    Chris

    Deleting sandvox does not delete the customizations like udfs, forms. The actions that you perform in sandbox results in creation of the same in OIM db and also in metadata db.
    As a solution of the problem you can try creating a new sandbox and then create new versions of the application instance forms. Once done navigate the application instance and assign the newly created application instance form. This might work and you can ignore the earlier forms.

  • Please help! My Itunes says corrupt file and will not open (IMac 2010). I couldn't fix it by reinstalling so I moved it to trash. It will not delete from my trash as it is saying "Japanese.lproj" is in use. I can't delete or open to close it, what do I do

    Please help!
    My Itunes says there is a corrupt file and will not open (IMac 2010). I couldn't fix it by reinstalling ITunes so I moved ITunes to trash. It will not delete from my trash as it is saying "Japanese.lproj" is in use. I have never opened or used "Japanese.lproj". I can't delete ITunes or open ITunes to close the Japanese.lproj, what do I do? Thank you for any help you can provide..

    It will not delete from my trash as it is saying "Japanese.lproj" is in use. I have never opened or used "Japanese.lproj".
    Interesting. This sort of thing is more common on Windows systems. Taken at face value, one of the iTunes program files (one of the Japanese language resources) is damaged.
    I'd try running your Disk Utility over your startup disk. Does it find/repair any damage? If so can you empty your trash and reinstall your iTunes successfully now?

  • Lost all email when I deleted email accounts and created new accounts in Thunderbird, this is due to complications changing password. How do I get mail back?

    First, I did not do a backup, did not think I needed one, my bad. I recently had to change my passwords in the ISP Server and of course in Thunderbird. There were complications, none of my email clients, both Outlook and Thunderbird on multiple computers, would authenticate the new passwords, in working around them I changed to imap from pop3, then later tried to change back to pop3, did not want to work, so, I deleted all of the accounts and recreated them back under pop3, in that process I seem to have lost all of my mail folders. Is there a way to get them back? I have deleted and recreated accounts before and not had this problem. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Your messages might still be there in your Thunderbird profile folder.
    You could create a new account and then point to the folder that already exists.
    See [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb Profiles TB] for more information.

  • My entire iTunes library has been duplicated.  How can I delete all duplicates at once rather than each one individually?

    My entire iTunes library has been duplicated.  Is there any command that will let me delete all duplicates at once, rather than each individual song?

    In particular:
    Once you have used the Show Exact Duplicates feature* you can set about deleting all but one copy of each duplicate file. If all the duplicates have recently been added into your library then you could sort the list on the date added column, select a range of tracks with SHIFT-click and delete all the recent entries.
    * On a Mac hold down Option, then click File > Show Exact Duplicates.
    You could also check out Doug's Scripts for useful tools.
