Mal/Phish-A threat from mail keeps coming back

I have been dealing with this Mal/Phish-A threat for a couple of months now. I keep getting a Sophos Alert to clean this Mal/Phish-A threat and when I clean it up, it pops up again. At first after a couple of days, now sometimes multiple times an hour. Needless to say this makes work very difficult, and I am also scared that the safety of my (professional) Mac is compromised. The threat appears to be an email attachment always called FullDetails.html. I read my mails using the Mac's Mail programme, and this particular account is a gmail account. I use the imap.gmail.com server to pull in email. The path of the threat is something like /Users/MYCOMPUTER/Library/Mail/[email protected]/[Gmail]/Alle berichten.imapmbox/Attachments/110344/2/FullDetails.html. I have tried the following: Clean up the threat using SophosScanning the computer (finding nothing every time) using Sophos after cleanupRemoving the attachments in FinderFinding emails containing FullDetails.thml and removing the mailsEmptying out my trash immediately after Threat keeps coming back. I don't know what to do. Please help!

Hi all,I would love to receive some more feedback on this issue. I am able to remove the threat from my computer, but I get new mails sent with this same virus every day, and I want to find a solution that does not involve me removing the mail after it's already downloaded to my computer. My Mac mail client downloads all mails and attachments to my computer, even if I don't open them. This means that the attachment I get sent everyday is downloaded automatically. I use gmail als mail client, but read all mails from the Mac mail client. Solution that's been suggested is 'catch' the email from gmail webmail, delete from there and after that open my mail client on the computer. However, this is not a real solution: I use the mail client on the Mac for reasons of efficiency and speed during my work and opening up and deleting mails from gmail everyday before the working day starts is not a real solution. I would like to hear if there is a way to prevent mails from arriving in my mail, or to permenantly delete mails upon arrival, without them being stored in inbox, trash or spam folder. Hope someone here has the solution!

Deleted emails in Mail keep coming back since 10.10.3 update

Mac Mail won't let me delete email or move email to other mailboxes since updating to 10.10.3. I delete messages or move them to other folders/mailboxes, and they keep coming back to my Inbox. Some messages come back almost instantly. Some come back after a few minutes. Other messages have come back that I deleted earlier in the day. There don't appear to be duplicates, since the messages I deleted aren't in the trash or in the folder/mailbox to which I moved them. Some messages have stayed in the trash, but when I try to permanently delete them, they reappear. The only way I've been able to permanently delete messages is by going online and deleting them in Gmail. I have used Gmail in combination with Mail for years without problems, and I had been using an earlier version of Yosemite without problems. My mail account is a Gmail account set up as IMAP. I have folders/mailboxes that are in Gmail and I have folders/mailboxes that are on my computer, but the messages I move won't stay in either type of mailbox. I tried rebuilding the mail envelop with Onyx which has helped with Mail quirks in the past, but this time it did nothing to solve the problem.
Macbook Pro, Mid 2010, 2.66 GHz, Intel Core i7

I have an android phone. If I read a message on my phone, it still shows up on my desktop.
One of the problems with deleting messages is that I when I delete messages from the main Inbox (the Inbox that includes all incoming messages from all accounts), some of those messages stay in the Inbox for the individual account as unread. A typical scenario is that after reading all of my new email and deleting messages, I notice that Mail shows that I still have unread mail. So I go to the Inbox for an individual email account, and there are a bunch messages that I deleted (sometimes half, sometimes all of what I deleted) that are in the Inbox of the individual account and show as unread. Then when I go back to the main Inbox, and all of the messages that I deleted are suddenly back in the that Inbox. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to which messages get stuck. Sometimes the messages go away on their own. Sometimes they won't ever go away. I delete them from the main Inbox; they come back. I delete them from the individual account Inbox; they come back. I go to the Trash, delete them before they've gone back the the Inboxes, and they come back. The only way I can get rid of these zombie messages is to access the account through a browser and delete those messages online.
Another problem I have, is that Mail is constantly asking me to re-enter the password for one of my email accounts. Fortunately, it's an account I use less frequently, but it's a real problem when I Mail asks me to re-setup up an account every time I open Mail.
The problem has doubled or tripled the time it takes for me to keep track of my email. I'm going through reviews and looking for a replacement for Mail. I will be the first time I've used something besides Mail since I used Eudora (during the time when it was the best program available and you had to buy it).

Mail keeps coming back

My mail account is going crazy! When I delete a message it keeps coming back, and back, and back. Today I had 650 new messages - all old ones that I have already read. I have no clue what's going on. I have a yahoo account that is set up through Mail...can anyone help me?
Thanks!

Ok, so I put my preferences to what you said - still doesn't work (I did not have Remove copy from saver checked). By old I mean 9 messages from Sept 17th-yesterday....they just keep repeating themselves over and over and over....so it ends up 30 of the same message - x 9 messages. I haven't received anything new on my yahoo account since yesterday. I do know I received a mail posting from a Gay Morgan RE: Response needed regarding Statement $47312. I had no clue who that was - but opened it in case it was something for my hubby. It had a Word document attached to it that I did NOT open. A while later I got a message from Yahoo mail about my virus protection not being available for the Gay Morgan message.....but I thought I couldn't get a virus on a mac?? I talked with a mac dude over the phone and he said it didn't sound like a virus...but I was too cheap to pay the $50 to have him help me!
thanks for helping!

Deleted mail keeps coming back in to mail

Using mail on Imac, Laptop, ipad and iphone.
When I move a message to a folder on the imac it keeps coming back in to the mail account. It appears to work OK on the laptop when I move a message. All the settings appear to be the same. Any idea what is going on?
Thanks

An update to my previous questions. This problem I think started after Maverick was installed. Also if I just try to delete a message it will pop back in. Appreciate someone telling me what is going on?
Thanks

Read e-mail keep coming back as unread

Around two times a week, or more, Mail keeps telling me that e-mails I have read is unread. Around 4-12 e-mails pops up as unread, still with the same date as when I received them the first time.
Anyone have the same problem?

Well, I don't know if Mail is downloading them, because they are still in my inbox. But they pop up as unread rather often.

OLD E-mails keep coming back

I keep getting old E-mails from the beginning of June. they are being redelivered to my inbox as if they were new. also some old delted folders show back up as well. it's really annoying!!!

Another interesting point about these returning emails. If I do a targeted search by sender, e.g., nytimes.com, the old emails don't turn up in the search results. And those old emails I had designated as spam (e.g., Dr Oz crap) have also returned. I'll follow advice about Facebook page.

Mail keeps coming back after deleted

I keep getting deleted mail back.

If you're on pop, deleting mail off the iPad will only get rid of it off the device, to stop this from happening you need either IMAP or delete the messages yourself fom the server

Old mail keeps coming back? & Junk Mail Delete grayed out.

Issue 1
Old mail, dated from previous months, keeps appearing, mainly in Trash.
I read some Discussion about 'ipurge,' -- I tried it as a Terminal command but said it wasn't there.
I checked with the mail server - Google -- and the emails are not there...
Issue 2
Also, on Mail menu>Mailboxes>Erase Junk Mail is grayed out.....and maybe this happen after starting to use a spam filter (SpamSieve).
I sure wish I didn't get so much spam. My email address must have recently gotten picked up...it's disgusting.

ONE DAY LATER -
From another thread I got the idea to check out these ever returning trashed emails. The idea there was to delete Google's Junk folder.
Did that but it didn't seem to solve the problem although the idea of investigating the Google Mail Server.
That led to discover that after clicking on Trash/Delete for emails they went into a Trash folder -- and stayed there -- and a 2nd trashing was necessary and there was a tab/button saying: DELETE FOVEVER, which sort of implies that Trashed items hang around and require this 2nd trashing, with clicking DELETE FOREVER (see photo).
I'll see what happens over the next few days.

Deleted mail keeps coming back

I go thru the process of deleting an email message then I go to the trash and delete it from there as well, often when I start up my touch another time I still see the deleted email appear as if I never deleted it before. Any help out there?

Hi,
What account are you using for Mail? My GMail works fine, so maybe it is just your account. Are you sure when you check your emails you are in "Inbox" and not "Trash"?
Hope this helps!

Deleted undeliverable mail keeps coming back to the inbox!

Today I sent out an email to about 100 people. When I try to delete the 30 messages that came back as undeliverable messages they simply return to the inbox, instead of being permanently deleted from the trash. Any ideas?

You may be able to get rid of those messages in Mail doing Edit > Cut (⌘X) (for best results do it with one message or just a few at a time), but you should remove them from the server first if they’re still there.
What type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)? Does it allow web access? If not, you may find the Account Info window useful to solve this problem — choose Get Info (⌘I) from the Action menu (gear icon) located below the mailboxes list in the main Mail window.

Deleted e-mail keeps comming back some times days old email how to correct this

Deleted e-Mails keep coming back some are days old how to correct this

I am having the same problem. Not sure about the original poster, but hre is my situation. Hoping someone can provide assistance.
The deleted emails in my Galaxy S5's default email program (envelope with an red @ in the middle) keep returning like a bad case of ___. I have a Yahoo mail account and I access it from the S5, my Galaxy Note Pro (via AquaMail and Yahoo mail apps) and regular Web Yahoo mail.
Everything was working fine until Yahoo forced me to change my password last month. I then had to make several attempts to get my S5 and Note Pro programs to accept the new password, but ultimately all started accessing and syncing again. Only, if I delete email on the S5, they return in a few minutes. If I delete them on the Note Pro or regular Yahoo, all works properly and the S5 will sync and update the email inbox to match.
I tried the suggestion above, but did not see those settings. When I look at the "incoming" settings, I see am setup as a IMAP server, SSL security, Port 993. Outgoing is set to SMTP, SSL, Port 465. I see no other settings that can be changed.

How to delete a junk mail that keeps coming back after deleting it from the junk box?

I have a junk mail from February that I really want to delete but it keeps coming back after deleting it several times. It comes back in the junk mail as 'read'.
How should I remove it?
Thanks for your help in advance!

If the email provider is Google, try going to the gmail web portal, (log on from a computer or your iPad using safari), and manually delete the contents of your junk and trash.
I did this today, and the reappearing junk has not (as of yet) reappeared. Knocking on wood.

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works 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 then 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.

Can not delete Fox news icon from Safari Favorites Bar, keeps coming back

I can not delete "Fox news" icon from Safari Favorites Bar. Dogpile Search engine also. Both keep coming back with icons upon new opening of Safari.
I have removed these icons from the Book Mark files and Favorites Bar menu and any reference in the LIbrary and replaced them with less spammy evercookie news and search engines 3 times to no avail. I just upgraded Safari (April 2014) and it made no difference. These sites represent the paradigm I
no longer am putting energy into nor want which is why I have rid these increasing more corrupted and cookie agressive sites. But now.....
they won't let me go!! Any one no how?

Thank you for trying but no not the problem. Had the same problem with Iphone 4S. Would not connect to my mail server and tried to send me to fraudulent website in the UK/England.
I did a restore to factory restore to the phone with upgrade to newest operating system, my was up to date until OS 7 as I heard there were problems. Now it has OS 7.
Neither I nor verizon could get the phone up and connected for service again. Taking phone to
apple store on Tues.
I am suspecting the "heart bleed" vulnerability.
