Did you use the expunge() method on the folder, or use close(true)? Otherwise the messages marked as DELETED will not be removed yet.

  • Some messages not deleted from server after downloading

    We have about 1,000 mail users, all of whom use Apple's Mail app to retrieve their mail using POP. We've seen users' mailboxes on the server where not all messages have been deleted after downloading, even though the user's app has been configured to delete messages immediately after downloading. The strange thing is, undeleted messages appear in large non-contiguous blocks of time. Like there will be 100 messages from January, then 250 from July, and so forth.
    Has anyone seen this behavior? Can anyone help me a) understand why this is happening and b) how to fix it? Thanks in advance to whoever can help.

    Thanks- but I don't want the messages deleted when they are deleted from my Mac, I want them deleted when I download them. However, I just found the setting so I'm fine.
    Thanks, again!
    set delete from server when deleted from my mac in mail preferences
    And if you want you could tell us a little more - like what type of account, what settings, etc

  • Dequeued messages not deleted from one queue but other works

    Hi,
    I have a multiconsumer queue with two local subscribers.
    The messages go to the 'PROCESSED' state but do not get
    deleted from the queue table.
    As a test, I created another single consumer queue in a different andqueue table, but the oracle deleted the 'PROCESSED' messages as expected.
    In the multiconsumer queue, the messages are added by a trigger on the table. The enqueued messages varies from 100000 to 10000 per hour.
    aq_tm_processes = 5
    job_queue_processes=4
    What else can I do debug the problem?
    Is there any log file on the database server that I can
    look at any potential problem.
    I would appreicate any responses. This could very well
    be a newbie problem. I have not worked on advanced queues
    before and nor has anyone else in our system.
    Thanx,
    HB.

    I forgot to add that I am using default retention time
    and when I query user_queue the retention time is set to zero for the multiconsumer queue.

  • Message not deleting from Topic after successfully dequeue

    Hi All,
    Help please..
    I need to design a process where message have to produce into a AQ JMS topic and later i have to consume the message from the same topic and publish to a Queue.
    In order to move on this i have created a sample My_Topic1 and My_Queue1 with below syntax
    Topic:-
    EXEC dbms_aqadm.create_queue_table (queue_table=>'MY_Topic1', queue_payload_type=>'sys.aq$_jms_text_message', multiple_consumers=>true );
    EXEC dbms_aqadm.create_queue(queue_name=>'MY_Topic1', queue_table=>'MY_Topic1');
    EXEC dbms_aqadm.start_queue(queue_name=>'MY_Topic1');
    Queue:-
    EXEC dbms_aqadm.create_queue_table (queue_table=>'My_Queue1', queue_payload_type=>'sys.aq$_jms_text_message', multiple_consumers=>false);
    EXEC dbms_aqadm.create_queue(queue_name=>'My_Queue1', queue_table=>'My_Queue1');
    EXEC dbms_aqadm.start_queue(queue_name=>'My_Queue1');
    Now i created Foreign server and create local and destination topic of queue.topics name and also created Data source of XAType.
    Now my bpel process getting a message(which as one element of sting type) from a web service and i am producing the same message to Topic. Once the message published to topic in a separate composite my JMS Adaptor dequeue/Consume the message from the topic and subscribe it to queue.
    The Above scenario working as expected but here what my observation on this
    1)When i dequeue message from a topic using bpel process successfully i am able to subscribe the message to queue but the message still remain in the topic i think it suppose to get of the topic once successfully dequeued.
    Even i check the subscriber topic table and one subscriber is listening to the topic.
    2)If in case any error generated at the time of subscribing to the queue the message should rollback( because i am using XA Transaction) but i think it is not happening as i can see in my topic view aq$my_topic1 MGS_STATE changed to PROCESSED.
    Can some one please let me know where i am going wrong.
    Thanks in advance.

    The behavior should be the process consume a message from the topic and will try to do its job. If this process fail, {code]
    But in this message not there in topic even it is failed in soa process.....i am very much interested how this XA is  working that the reason i am trying all this.What to do with a failed/expired message is usually configurable, but doesn't make sense to place it in the same topic again... If the messages are failing too quickly better to adjust the max_retries and retry_delay...I agress in real senario we will move to error queue. But in that case also some how we need to read the message from queue and publish to the end system.
    I am just trying to understand the behavior and what i came to know is after all the retire fails message not going to topictable _E. But when i pass Expire time property or time to live then it is moving to error table.What do you mean? What server was restarted, the database or the soa server? Messages that still didn't reach the max retry number will still be retried...Wheni am bouncing my managed server soa_server1 i can see the invoke activity is trying to publish the message into queue... this is happens after server restart and suppose not to happen....
    But thanks alot for the inputs...

  • MAIL: Trying to settle long-lasting problem. Mail always immediately downloads the messages I delete from any IMAP mailbox. I'm running out of HD space!

    BACKGROUND
    I only have 60GB of space on my MacBook Air. Currently, three long-standing IMAP accounts are taking up over 7GB of it!
    I have seen several related discussions about this kind of problem, but they all seem to have been solved or glossed over with setting up the IMAP interaction so that messages are deleted from the server in addition to the device or with a "Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For" fix that doesn't work for me. I like being able to save all of my email history on servers (I'm often surprised by how many years back I have to search to find a piece of information I need), but I can no longer stand losing so much of my very limited local space to really old mail.
    PROBLEM
    I'll refer to just one of the relevant accounts as "Gmail," since that's in parentheses when seen in these screenshots. These are its current Mailbox Behaviors settings:
    Under my Gmail Inbox in Mail, I have deleted every message from before 2013. The mail from 2013 is all that I want stored on my MacBook Air.
    Ultimately, I think this has something to do with the Archive (seen in the sidebar above, as well). Even when I've deleted everything from before 2013 in my Inbox, AND emptied the entire contents of Trash manually, the Archive still contains all of the mail from the server (yes, this account was started in 2011, but I have others that go back much further).
    The cherry on top is that when I delete the same messages from the Archive as I've deleted from the Inbox, Mail immediately begins re-downloading all of those messages. Last time I tried this my laptop had to download 23000 messages, but here's a screenshot of proof with a smaller sample:
    In case my Gmail server settings are useful to consider, here they are:
    Final Notes
    • There's a lot that I don't know about exactly how IMAP communication occurs between a device and a server. For my sake and the sake of anyone else who needs this kind of help, please clarify terms like "flags" and "archive" (since Gmail and Mail both use the term and I don't know think they mean exactly the same thing) if/when you use them.
    • If anyone does think that there's some sort of "Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For" solution to this, you should know that no matter what I have selected in Mail's sidebar (at no matter what level of indentation), the options available under that menu item are always grayed-out.
    • I want to keep using Mail. There's a lot that I like about it and I don't want to switch to Thunderbird or something else (remember, I need to save as much local space as I can).
    • I just upgraded to 10.9.0 Mavericks, but this problem has existed for me and behaved essentially just like this as long as I can remember. In fact, I think I recall the problem still existing before there was an Archive in the sidebar at all.

    UPDATE
    I still have the problem, but when I checked on this post to see if anyone had commented and I simply hadn't received an e-mail, I noticed that all but the last of the images I included have stopped displaying (I had friends check, too).  Most of them were just visual examples of what I was explaining in hopes of giving context and all available info that I may not have personally viewed as relevant, but the first one, about my account's Mailbox Behaviors settings sure is important. These are the settings I have:
    • Store draft messages on the server — Check
    • Store sent messages on the server — Check
    • Delete sent messages — One month old
    • Store junk messages on the server — Check
    • Delete junk messages — One week old
    • Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox — Grayed-out and Check
    • Store deleted messages on the server — Grayed-out and Check
    • Permanently erase deleted messages when — Quitting Mail
    I hope this helps. Please comment if I'm leaving out any other important information.

  • Mail not moving messages or deleting from server until application quitted

    I have an Outlook.com email account. When I delete messages or move them in Apple Mail, the change is not reflected on the server until I quit the program completely. This isn't happening with other actions. Mail is immediately marked as read or flagged on the server for example. When I move or delete messages in Mail they actually show up in both the original location and the new location until the application is quitted.
    Anything I can do to fix this?
    OSX Mavericks 10.9.1
    Apple Mail 7.1

    Hi Thomas
    Yes...personal folders are mailboxes I've created to organize my mail. I know as a fact that this messages still are on the server even after moving them to "personal folders". anyway I think i can get around this issue by rightcliking on the account and then getting account information. I can then filter by "removed from my mac". at that stage there's an option to select those messages and "delete from server"...I think this will work...will try now.
    Thanks for your help

  • Persistent messages are not deleted from JMS store

              Hi,
              I'm experiencing some unexperienced JMS store behaviour with WLS 6.1 sp 4. I have
              a servlet that posts a message to persistent JMS queue, which will be eventually
              consumed by an MDB. Even though consumption is successful, the message is not
              deleted from JMS store.
              The message will be redelivered after server restart and is still not deleted
              from JMS store. I verified this using file store and JDBC store. The messages
              actually stay in the JMSSTORE table till doom's day.
              I couldn't reproduce the case with WLS 6.1 sp 3. Exactly the application code
              was used in all cases.
              Subsequently I ran the same case with various ServerDebug DebugJMSXXX-flags set,
              and discovered that WLS 6.1 sp3 logs 'asyncDeleteL' and 'ZZZDelete' for the consumed
              message. WLS 6.1 sp4 didn't log this information.
              I'm running WLS 6.1 on WinNT and Win2000.
              Comments?

    I've am having exactly this problem with wl 5.1....
              I first saw it with 5.1 sp8....
              In the release notes for 5.1 sp10, the following CR was fixed, which seemed
              like it might have been my problem:
              CR 45915
              Fixed a JMS problem with messages begin left in the queue after received messages had been acknowledged. When a high volume of
              messages was sent to a queue and a consumer retrieved those messages and sent them to another queue, the messages were not being
              removed from the first queue even though they were acknowledged.
              We upgraded to 5.1 sp12, and it appeared that the incidence of that problem was reduced.
              However it still occurs once or twice a week, with 5.1 sp12....
              My situation is a little bit different, in that my consumer retieves a message, and sends another
              message to the SAME queue instead of another queue as described in the CR above...
              It does happen under heavy load, etc....
              Don't know if this has been reported and identified for wl 5.1 sp12 or not...
              It is of course a really difficult to deal with bug....

  • Messages are NOT deleted from tables XI_AF_MSG and XI_AF_MSG_AUDIT

    Hello,
    I set the retention period to 7 days (1 week)
    I also set the default ARCHIVE and DELETE jobs and ALL are working fine.
    However, messages with OLD dates are NOT deleted from the tables XI_AF_MSG and XI_AF_MSG_AUDIT.
    These tables 32GB in the DBD table space.
    I tried to use the URL:
    http://<host>:<port>/MessagingSystem/archiving/reorgdb.jsp
    BUT to NO avail.
    How do I DELETE or ARCHIVE these messages ?
    ============================================
    Here are some more details on the content of the tables (I took into account 1 MONTH retention):
    db2 "select count(*) from sapxi3db.XI_AF_MSG_AUDIT where STATUS='SUCC' and TIME_STAMP < '2007-09-10 00:00:00'"
          28947
      1 record(s) selected.
    db2 "select count(*) from sapxi3db.XI_AF_MSG_AUDIT where STATUS='ERR' and TIME_STAMP < '2007-09-10 00:00:00'"
          13243
      1 record(s) selected.
    db2 "select count(*)  from sapxipdb.XI_AF_MSG where PERSIST_UNTIL < '2007-09-10 00:00:00' and STATUS='NDLV'"
           1048
      1 record(s) selected.
    db2 "select count(*)  from sapxipdb.XI_AF_MSG where PERSIST_UNTIL < '2007-09-10 00:00:00' and STATUS='DLVD'"
              0
      1 record(s) selected.

    Hi,
    First, thank you VERY much for answering.
    Now to your questions:
    1. When using the URL:
    http://<host>:<port>/MessagingSystem/archiving/reorgdb.jsp
        I did NOT get any ERROR messages.
        Thousands of messages where DELETED successfully.
        However, the number of rows in XI_AF_MSG_AUDIT did NOT reduce.
    2. I used the default archiving and deletion customizations and jobs.
       However, I ran them manually a few times a day with NO change in the
       number of rows in XI_AF_MSG_AUDIT
       What do you mean by "customized any Archiving for adapter Engine" ?
    . In RWB, I do see the default job is running
    Have you customized any Archiving for adapter Engine or You are using default arciving which runs every 24 hrs.
    3. I did ser the retention period for the adapter engine messages in visual admin in seconds...
    Please, advise further.
    Kind regards,
    Gil

  • Nokia Messaging not deleting emails from Gmail ser...

    When I access my gmail account via Nokia Messaging on my E72, any emails that I delete using my nokia are not deleted from my gmail account - instead they are being transferred to my All Mail folder, which is where I keep email that I have ARCHIVED, not email that I have deleted, so it's messed up my archived mail and also means that when I access my gmail via POP in Outlook, items that I have previously 'deleted' on my mobile have to be downloaded and sorted through again. Is there a way to change this behaviour? At the moment the gmail app is a better option.

    Unfortunately this didn't work for me (E75). I created an extra label. I also subscribed in imap to this folder. When I want to delete a message, I move it to this folder / label. Every now and then I delete all these mails from gmail on my PC.
    Suyogmh wrote:
    This is well known behavior of Gmail and not problem with Nokia Messaging as such.
    Gmail has different way of handling emails with labels instead of folders. So "All Mails" means all mails except Spam and Trash. Check following link for more details.
    http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en &answer=77657
    Check if following settings are in order in Gmail - settings - forwarding and POP/IMAP in web browser.
    Status: IMAP is enabled
    Auto-Expunge : Do not automatically expunge messages
    When a message is expunged from the last visible IMAP folder:  Immediately delete the message forever
    Folder Size Limits: Do not limit the number of messages in an IMAP folder
    Now head over to email.nokia.com and login with your username/pwd
    Under My Email Addresses, for your gmail account , click edit settings
    Now in "Mail folders to sync" Please ensure that you select "All Mail" , "Spam" and " Trash"
    You can also select other labels , max upto 10.
    Click Save changes and log out.
    Now in your Nokia Phone, Open Nokia Messaging and Sync again.
    Go to Gmail and these new labels should appear there.
    If you want to delete a message from all folders, move it to the [Gmail]/Trash folder.
    If you delete a message from [Gmail]/Spam or [Gmail]/Trash, it will be deleted permanently.
    So I know it's little extra effort but we can do it. I hope you find this useful.If yes, don't forget to give me Kudos 

  • Emails are not delete from the handheld/server

    Hello,
    Our client has Blackberry 8330.
    Emails are not deleted nor from the server nor from the phone. Maybe there any other setting set? Or are these settings set wrong?
    Thanks you
    He has these settings:
    under Messages - Options - General Options, there's this field for "Keep message for" --> 2 months
    The Options >Email reconciliation
    Delete On: Mailbox & Handheld
    Wireless Reconcile: ON
    On Conflicsts: Mailbox Wins

    Endriuska wrote:
    It looks like it only synchrozines mailbox to handheld(if deleted from mailbox, will delete from handheld), but will it delete from mailbox if the email is deleted from handheld?
    As discussed in the KB I linked for you, it depends. If, in the top grid, there is a YES in the Wireless Deletion column for the subject email service AND you have further configured, as per the KB you found, for deleted item reconciliation, then yes it should delete from the server when you delete from the HH.
    Note that there may be a time lag, however -- deleted item reconciliation tends to be one of the lowest priority activities inside of both BIS as well as the email providers systems...I've seen it take up to 24 hours (not normally, but that's the extreme that I've witnessed).
    Further, I believe that the on-HH setting for "Keep Messages" should have no effect on the server...deleted item reconciliation is a function of the end user actually deleting from the HH...not the auto-removal by virtue of this setting.
    Hope that helps!

  • 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?

  • Message "not downloaded from server. You need to take this account online

    After upgrading to 10.4.9, when I click on any of the old emails in my inbox I get the message "this message not downloaded from server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
    I can still read all email in any other mailbox.
    I can read all email received after upgrading.
    I appreciate any help.
    G4 17 inch   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   1 gb ram

    You upgraded to 10.4.9 from what?
    If you upgraded from Mac OS X 10.3 or earlier, the problem is that the conversion from Mail 1.x to Mail 2.x is broken. Take a look at the following thread to better understand the problem:
    Help! "You need to take this account online in order to download it."
    More specifically, if this is a POP account, the following procedure should allow you to fix the Inbox problem. A similar procedure should allow you to fix other mailboxes that might also be affected:
    1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    2. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong while trying to fix the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
    3. Create a new folder on the Desktop and name it however you wish (e.g. Inbox Old). It doesn’t need to have an .mbox extension.
    4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/.
    5. Move the files mbox and Incoming_Mail out of INBOX.mbox, into the Inbox Old folder just created on the Desktop. These files contain all the messages that were in the mailbox before the upgrade to Tiger, and maybe even some messages that had been deleted. mbox is the most important. Incoming_Mail may or may not be present.
    6. Move any strangely-named Messages-T0x... folders to the Desktop (not into the Inbox Old folder). These folders are to be deleted after fixing the problem. They are temporary folders created during an import or an indexing process, and Mail should have deleted them when done. Their presence is a clear indication that something didn’t work as expected. If you’ve been using Mail after the conversion and have already tried to fix the problem by rebuilding the mailbox or something like that, they might contain messages that are neither in Messages proper nor in the mbox file, so keep them around until the problem is fixed.
    7. Move everything else within INBOX.mbox, except the Messages folder, to the Trash.
    The result of the above should be that INBOX.mbox contains the proper Messages folder only, and the Inbox Old folder on the Desktop contains the mbox and Incoming_Mail (if it exists) files only. Now, proceed as follows:
    8. Open Mail.
    9. The account’s Inbox should properly display in Mail as many messages as *.emlx files are in ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/Messages/. If that’s not the case, select the mailbox in Mail and do Mailbox > Rebuild.
    10. In Mail, do File > Import Mailboxes, choose Other as the data format, and follow the instructions to import the Inbox Old folder that’s on the Desktop.
    As a result of doing the above, some messages may be duplicated now. Andreas Amann’s Mail Scripts has a Remove Duplicates script that you may find useful.
    Do with the imported mail whatever you wish. You may move the messages anywhere you want and get rid of the imported mailboxes afterwards.
    If all is well and you don’t miss anything, the files on the Desktop can be deleted, although you may want to keep them for a while, just in case.
    Take a look at the following article (also referenced in the thread I mentioned at the beginning of this post) to learn what you might have done before upgrading to minimize the risk of this happening, and what you may do after fixing the problem to avoid similar issues from happening in the future. DON’T do now what the article suggests, though, as that would make things worse in the current situation:
    Overstuffed mailbox is unexpectedly empty
    Ask for any clarifications or if you need further assistance.
    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.

  • Inaccurate "Message not downloaded from server" message

    I recently started seeing error messages like the one below appearing in the body of my Mail messages right after reading new messages from the POP server at my work (a large hospital). I'm running OS 10.3.9 on a dual 2GHz PowerPC G5. None of the other Mac users in my group at work are getting this type of error message:
    "The message from "Doe, John" <[email protected]> concerning “RE: New spheres” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
    I don't believe this has anything to do with our mail server at work. My account is "on-line" when I see this message, and taking it off-line and then on-line again does not correct the problem.
    When I see it, this error message appears as the only text in many or all of the e-mails in my "InBox" -- and it replaces the actual text of each message -- even in messages that were previously downloaded and read successfully. I have never seen this message appear in any other mail folders -- I have only seen it in mail messages in my InBox.
    This error message is clearly not accurate because when I see it in one or more emails, I can simply quit Mail and then re-start it and then I can see all of my In-Box mail messages correctly again, (without downloading anything again from the server).
    I have tried deleting the mail preference file, and I have run the utility program Yasu to try to clean things up. Nothing has worked to fix this bug.
    Suggestions?

    This is not a bug.
    All email clients have limits and the recommended mailbox size limit for Jaguar or Panther Mail is 1GB and for Tiger Mail, 2GB.
    This error message indicates an "overstuffed" mailbox issue which means the account's inbox mailbox has either approached or exceeded 1GB in size or the mailbox has some corruption. An "overstuffed" mailbox issue can occur at any mailbox size but is more likely to occur depending on the number and size of message attachments contained in a mailbox and especially as a mailbox approaches or exceeds 1GB in size for Jaguar or Panther Mail.
    This has been eliminated with Tiger Mail since the mbox format has been improved over previous Mail.app versions but there is still a recommended mailbox size limit (2GB) with Tiger Mail.
    Quit the Mail.app first and using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > this POP account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) > INBOX.mbox.
    Move the INBOX.mbox to the Desktop.
    Launch Mail and a new INBOX.mbox will be created automatically by Mail within the account named folder.
    This will allow the Mail.app to function properly again while working on the old INBOX.mbox moved to the Desktop to recover the existing messages.
    Control-click on the old INBOX.mbox moved to the Desktop and at the menu window that appears, select Show Package Contents.
    List the package content file names and size each here.
    This information is required to determine the next step to take to recover the existing messages.
    For future reference, since an account's Inbox mailbox is usually the most active mailbox and more prone to minor corruption over time, it is not a good idea to use an account's Inbox mailbox as the final storage location for all received messages not deleted.
    Better to utilize user created "On My Mac" location mailboxes to sort received messages by category.
    Before upgrading to Tiger Mail, I didn't allow any mailbox to exceed 500MB or so in size, used the Rebuild Mailbox function on the most active mailboxes on a regular basis (once a month or so depending on activity) and I never experienced an overstuffed mailbox issue.

  • I am unable to see any POP3 or IMAP tab when I set up an account in my iphone 4S. Hence by default all my email accounts become IMAP and the messages are deleted from the server when I delete them from the iphone.

    ok sorry everyone but i solved it myself but the solution is so nuts i've posted it here to help others who have the same problem.
    to setup a comcast imap account on your iphone:
    go to mail, contacts, etc in settings
    under accts, select add account
    select "other"
    new screen, choose "add mail account"
    now on the new acct screen you must enter your name, email address and password for your GMAIL acct ! (yes i said your gmail acct !, or some other acct with a NON comcast address).
    hit next
    then the acct verifies
    when verified a screen will open with all the acct settings for this acct AND @ the top of the screen are the 2 buttons > imap or POP
    select imap and THEN CHANGE ALL THE ACCOUNT information to the comcast account !
    then hit next and the account will take a couple minutes to verify but it will verify and now you have a comcast imap acct set up on your iphone.  The problem must be that when the iphone sends the initial verify acct info to comcast (if you enter that information first) the comcast server is simply not setup yet to signal the iphone that there is an imap option.
