Mail is freezing up on 1 email (that I've already deleted from my gmail)

The Situation:
I have mac mail set up to send/recieve from my gmail account. Usually it's all been working fine.
Problem:
Someone sent me 40 emails with a 20MB attachment in each email. Mac Mail now tries to download the messages but freezes up. I went into gmail and deleted the messages with the attachments. but Mac Mail still freezes whenever I try to get new mail from my gmail.
I've already used the "get account info" to delete messages from the server. Mail is just **** bent on pull these "unpullable" messages from my gmail account.
What do I do?

Yes I've restarted everything a few things..!
It's like Mac Mail has the large messages (or whatever it is that is clogging up the pipeline) cached somewhere and can't remove it from the stream. I'd delete the gmail mailbox from Mac Mail if that would fix it, but I am afraid I'll loose all my mail.
Thanks 2point5 !

I have emails that I can not delete from my Junk mail folder. How do I permanently delete them?

I have emails that I can not delete from my Junk mail folder. How do I permanently delete them?

Weird.
Someone might stop by who has experienced/fixed/read about this before. In the meantime...
By "re-indexed my email" do you mean you rebuilt the mailbox via the "Rebuild" command in the Mailbox menu? Did you try that for all the affected mailboxes?
Also, you might try experimenting with the settings in Mail, Preferences, Accounts having to do with whether junk mail messages are stored on the server and whether they are to be deleted.
Does this behavior persist when you are not connected to the internet?

How do I get rid of repeating emails that I have already deleted?

How do I get rid of repeating email messages that have previously been deleted? My 3G phone crashes, then 10,000 previously deleted email messages come up and when I delete these, they come up yet again. ATT wants me to buy a service plan to tell me. I suspect they cause this so they can charge me for this.
Why does this happen?

This is the second time this has happened where I suddenly received the same emails over 9,000 or more and they reload over and over once I had deleted them. Now that I know ATT will ask me to pay them and they maybe can fix a prob, I won't call them first. And I have never found anywhere that I can delete these emails that come back and repeatedly reload — except today by me discovering that I can go to where my emails originate and load onto my other various devices — and delete those emails. Which is what someone did when I called before and they admitted that it was a problem on their end that must have happened in their system.
Today I solved my problem. And I didn't have to pay Apple to do a temporary fix, which will come back in a few months, never tell me what they did and never tell me how to fix it myself. It was so that they can charge me to do a temporary fix and I would not use that paid service for anything else until this happened again. There is no such thing as an IMAP on anything that I use.
I found the origination of the problem and I fixed it.
This problem needs to be fixed on iphones in updates or it will happen to others.
By the way, it only happens on my iphone, not my mac tower, G5, Mac laptop or other mac devices that I own. Just on my iphone, several times. But now I know.
It seems to me if you want to have good customer services at apple, they would admit to their defects and offer to fix them, not come up with we will charge you and then determine if we can fix them.

Why my iphone receives old emails that I've already deleted?

I have just updated my iphone 4 to the IOS 5.
and then it started receiving e-mails from a long time, all over again.
I've already deleted them earlier.
why am I receiving it again?
thanks.

Did you delete the old emails on the iPhone or on the email server? If on the iPhone and not the server, when it reattaches your email server may think it is a new device and resync all of the old content.
If you are using a POP email account you can set the device to delete from server on opening...then the email will only exist on the iPhone. Deleting from the iPhone will then eliminate the email entirely.
If you want to access the email from multiple devices, it would be best to manually login to the email server and delete those you no longer want.

ICloud photosteam on PC is only backing up photos that I have already deleted from my phone.

I had my phone stolen and went into the icloud photos stream on my PC to check that all my photos are there. To my horror I the only photos appearing on the photostream of my PC are ones that I have deleted from my iPhone. Only about ten of the photos in the photostream folder are actually photos that exist on my phone and the rest are the deleted ones. This seems really bizarre to me, surely if they don't even exist on the phone, they shouldn't be backed up? I'm really hoping there will be some way of recovering the rest of my photos, or at least that when I get a new iPhone, iCloud will automatically give me the photos back and not the deleted ones I'm seeing on my PC. Does anyone have any idea why it might be doing this??

Go to "Apps"under "Library", click on it, hit the delete key.

How do I get emails that I've already flagged (from my hotmail account) onto my mail app on my mac?

Hopefully you can help me, I have flagged some important emails on my Hotmail email account before I just recently switched to a mac. I have been using the email app for mac instead of going onto Safari and logging in that way since it's more convient BUT I've noticed that my flagged emails from my Hotmail account is not showing up on my 'Flagged' tab on the app, only the ones I've recently flagged.
Help?

That's how it works. The messages reside on the server and are read from there by your Mac and iOS device, so deleting a message means deleting it from the server, and obviously it will then disappear on your other devices. Think of it like webmail and it makes sense.
You can move the messages to a local mailbox on your Mac - just create a new mailbox, making sure that it's listed under 'On My Mac' not 'iCloud', and then you can simply drag any messages you want to archive to it. This will copy them down to your Mac and remove them from the server.

How can I recover ten emails that I just inadvertently deleted from my inbox?

No more details to offer.

Maybe Edit_Undo will undo the delete action is that is the last thing you did.
Have you looked in the Trash folder. That is where deleted messages go until you empty the trash and compact the folder.

In a hurry, I opened an email that said "order was shipped from "ammazon". I downloaded the order document and it ended up being a zip file. I then realized what it was, and did not actually open the file. This was on my Iphone 5. What should I do now!?

Delete the email. The zip file will have no effect on your iPhone.

When can an email address be reactivated after deleted from another acount?

May I know when can an email address be reactivated after deleted from another acount?
I am eagar to register an email address, let's say "[email protected]"
I created this address as an alias email in my original Apple ID + iCloud account. But that is not what I want.
So I deleted the alias email.
Register an new Apple ID.
And then re-register the icloud email address "[email protected]" via the new Apple ID
But was being rejected. And the reason was that, the address has already be picked up.
So I would like to know when can an email address be reactivated after deleted from another account.
Please Help !!

You can't do what you want.
Email aliases are forever tied to the account that created them, cannot be moved to another account, and cannot be made into a standalone account.

How to keep your email on the server after deleting from the phone?

how to keep your email on the server after deleting from the phone?

If this is a POP mail account:
Settings > Mail.... > Your account > Advanced > Delete from server > Never.
However, this will risk re-downloading as new mail
IMAC accounts mirror what's on the phone in the server, so deleting from the inbox on the phone will either send it to the trans folder on the server or leave it in the inbox but marked as deleted (depending on the server)
Settings > Mail.... > your account > Advanced > Deleted Mailbox > On My iPhone Trash
