Mail will download email again even if deleted

I deleted an email by mistake and wanted to sync with my yahoo email it would not download the email.
Any thoughts?

If you have the old device to backup then restoring that backup to the new one should sort it all out.
By same device I meant restoring an iPod touch from an iPod touch backup...
I don't know textnow, but any app that needs you to sign in to a service can be using data stored there rather than on your device or in Apple's iCloud. Think Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Dropbox etc.

I photo will not email photos even when my email address is correct and I am on line. Is there a setting a I have missed? It used to work :-)

i photo will not email photos even when the email address is correct and I am online. I get a message that my server is maybe down but it is not. Anything to do with a setting I have missed? Thank you

In iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete and re-enter the information for that account
Or better yet IMHO set Apple Mail as the e-mail client

Apple Mail stops downloading emails at a certain point

Hello,
I have just recently started to use Apple Mail (3.6) and set up two accounts: one POP for hotmail and one IMAP for gmail. While sending mails works fine with both accounts, the hotmail one stops downloading mails from the server at a certain point.
From the approximately 15000 mails on the server, Mail downloads about 3000 (the oldest ones, which I neither need nor want on my computer anyway) and then stops. When I click on receive new mails, it will show the connecting sign as usual. The bar on the left, which indicates how many e-mails remain on the server and how many are currently being downloaded, pops up for a second, telling me that all remaining 12000 e-mails have been downloaded in the same time span - which obviously didn't happen.
I have already tried deleting downloaded mails from my computer, thinking that there might be a limit to the number of mails saved on the desktop. Also I deleted the whole account and set it up again, but the same thing happened at exactly the same point, respectively the same email downloaded. What to do?
Thanks to everyone who can help me out with this!

Yes, these were the e-mails that showed up in the inbox, i.e. they were the chunk of mails that I could download before Apple Mail stopped the downloading at all. I deleted them because I thought it would make space for newer ones to be downloaded.
No, I have not used any other Mail application before. I used to go directly to the hotmail-webpage.
Interestingly, I have deleted the whole account again and set it up anew - which enabled Apple Mail to another round of downloading mails when I did it the last time. This time however, nothing happened: again, the bar on the left appears for a second, telling me that around 12000 mails are on my server and that all have been downloaded in about this second. But they do not show up. It remains a mistery to me, even more so as Mail is obviously able to detect all mails on the server (when I check under Account Information, Emails on Server) but not to download them.

Mail wont download emails

The account checks out fine, even in the connection doctor but when I try to get new mail it starts to download then trickles down to 0kbps and sits there and after a while Mail just gives up and acts like it finished downloading when it really hasn't.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dave

Same thing started happening to me today. It will only download 2-3 emails, I force quit mail, erase those downloaded emails from the server and it will download 2-3 new emails. It keeps saying there's 20 some emails, but it goes to 0kb.
I have 4 accounts on my mail, all 4 seem to have this problem..

Mac Mail not downloading emails

Hello. My mac mail is not working. It appears to be an issue with the Exchange 2007 server. The only way I can access my emails is via Thunderbird (which stinks). Neither Mac Mail nor Outlook will download my emails.
Connection Doctor status: Mail was able to connect to the internet.
I see that this is a common problem for many other folks. Has this issue ever been solved? I have spent a considerable amount of time on forums, talking to Apple Support, and Google searching -- no luck finding a solution. Its very frustrating -- I am using Thunderbird to get me by for now. I have a new Mac, Lion 10.7.4.
Help!! Thanks.

HT1926 when trying to instal itunes update i got an error, will downloading itunes again erase my current library?

When trying to instal an itune update on my Pc i got an error message, should i download itunes again, and if i do so will it erase my current library?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

How do I stop Mountain Lion Mail from downloading emails?

I create html newsletter emails for a church organization using a combination of Dreamweaver, Safari and Apple Mail. Since I moved to Mountain Lion, however, I have an Apple Mail problem.
Our organization uses an AOL email address. Under Lion and previous OS's, I was able to create the organization's account in Apple Mail, unclick "Include when automatically checking for new messages" in Mail Preferences, click "Enable this account" in Mail Preferences, and be able to send the finished email without routinely downloading all the emails from the organization's AOL inbox. Although I've followed this same procedure in Mountain Lion Mail, the app still insists on downloading their emails!! Is there any other switch to shut it off?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks. Unfortunately, I have several email accounts in Mail. 'Sorry, I didn't indicate this before. Prior to Mountain Lion, I was able to set Mail to automatically download email for all accounts except the organization's. Although the "Include when automatically..." checkbox in the organization's specific account preferences seems to provide this control in ML ... it doesn't

My i phone 3gs keeps turming itself on and off will this happen again even if they replace it

My iPhone 3gs is only about 2 weeks old and we encountered this problem where it keeps turning itself on and off. We restored the phone and it lasted for about a week before it started happening again. My concern is that even if i send my phone in to have it replaced that it will just happen again with my next phone. If it is going to keep happening id like to know so i can just get a different phone and save myself a lot of hassle and frustration.

As far as I know, none of the users on this forum can see in to the future, so your question cannot be answered.

Mail will receive email but will not send. Recent change of broadband provider. Help!

I've recently changed my broadband provider. My email address is provided by my previous broadband provider (although it was obtained seperately -prior to - my broadband deal). Since I've changed my Mail still collects mail from the email address provider but is no longer sending from Mail.
Funnily enough if I send an email direct from this provider they send without any problems.
I've checked the preferences and nothing seems to have been altered.
Confused.

Do I understand this as saying you changed "broadband providers", i.e., ISP's, and you are trying to send and receive email through your old ISP's mail servers? I hope I misunderstood that because you of course need to use your new ISP's mail servers.

I am getting all of my emails again even after I delete them

I delete all of my emails and then empty my trash but the next time I check my email, I get all of my messages from the last two weeks....even those that have been completely deleted.

This happens sometimes when you connect to your ISP, and it regurgitates previous email messages. If it happens once, there's no reason for concern. If it happens frequently...that's another thing.

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.

Mail, stopped downloading email weeks ago, what to do?

Sinces APtril email stooped downloading emailk from my yahoo, hotmail, gmail accounts, it starts but do not dowload anything in hours

Then click the Show Details button & Check again.
Open Mail's Activity Window, does that show anything?

"Profile is missing or corrupted." Will not start again even with fresh install.

Apparently after some kind of crash, whenever I start Firefox I receive an error message saying "Profile is missing or corrupted. Cannot be loaded" or something like that. The information about loading the Profile Manager does no good, since it presumes you can already start Firefox. It is not even allowing me to create a new profile, and downloading a new version of Firefox does not work either.

Hello tomreedtoon,
try to delete the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profiles.ini_file profiles.ini] file to force firefox to create a new profile, the profiles.ini file exist in firefox profile folder '''path'''
for your windows use "Start > Run" (or press "Windows key+R" to open the Run box) and type :
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox
and click "OK" to quickly open the appropriate folder
when the new profile created (after you delete the profiles.ini folder) then see:
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Recovering%20important%20data%20from%20an%20old%20profile#os=win7&browser=fx22 Recovering important data from an old profile]

I got e-mail to download Firefox 4 and I deleted old Firefox from Applications and my computer won't work with Firefox 4 - how do I get back to my older Firefox 4 - please help

I need to get back to my older version of Firefox - my computer won't accept Firefox 4 - how can I find my older version I had that I told to replace with Firefox 4.

I also want to restore the old version. I downloaded 4.0 this morning, and am entirely unable to use it. All I can do is stare at that beachball.
The concept was nice, but the implementation leaves much to be desired.
I've attached a screenshot of "Not Responding" Firefox, eating up 93.9% of my CPU. Consistently.
How do I retrieve Firefox 3?
