Messages displayed twice in inbox

Since about a month I notice something strange in my inbox of apple mail. Some messages, particularly the ones sent via gmail, are shown twice in the inbox, the second one appearing in grey. This happens when I leave the message in the inbox and open mail some time later again. I can mouse-click on either one of them getting the same message text. When I remove one of the two the other one disappears as well.
Can somebdy tell me what might be happening here?

You’re welcome.
I don’t know what’s going on here. It looks as if the the account had been set up twice in Mail > Preferences > Accounts, even though you say it appears there only once...
Try re-creating the file where the account settings are stored:
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 solve the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the Mail folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is locally stored.
3. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Locate com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted if this solves the problem).
4. Open Mail. You’ll have to set up your non-.Mac accounts from scratch all over again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in ~/Library/Mail/ when done.
5. You’ll have to re-configure most of your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
6. As a side effect of re-creating com.apple.mail.plist, Mail might rename Outbox (which is where messages waiting to be sent are stored) to Delivered. The name of that mailbox is actually a misnomer, as it would contain messages (if any) that couldn’t be delivered for some reason. You can delete that mailbox if you wish.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

  • Forms Error Message displayed twice

    But on clicking the save button to commit the changes in the form, the validation trigger fires and the error message is displayed twice. This is once for the item and at the other at the form level.
    The error message has to be displayed only once i.e. while submitting the form by clicking the save button. Please suggest.
    Thanks in advance.

    Do you alter the data in your Character Item through a program unit? Since you only have a WVI trigger at the item level, something in the form is causing the status of the item to become "Dirty" or "Invalid" after the WVI trigger fires. Therefore, Forms fires the WVI trigger again. Something else you can try is to turn "Debug Messages" on (go to Preferences => Runtime tab => check Debug Messages). This will display an Alert for each trigger that fires during Runtime. Then you can record all of the triggers that fire after the WVI trigger fires the first time. Once you know which trigger fire between the first execution of the WVI and the second execution of WVI then you can put break points in these triggers and then run the Form with the Debugger and see what it happening during the validate cycle. If you are using Form6i, the debugger is very easy to use. If you on Form 9 or greater, there is some setup that must be done to debug the web deployed form, but it well worth the setup to be able to debug your form.
    Hope this helps.

  • Popup Message Displayed twice - Java 5.0 Swing

    Hi,
    We are upgrading our Desktop Appln. from Java 1.3.1 to 1.5.0. In many places in our aplications, we have attached Input Verifiers to JTable's, so that the columns can be validated. But in case of Java 1.5, the verifier is getting called more than Once. So, the error message pops up multiple times.
    Help Need,
    petro

    Hi,
    Thanx for the Reply,
    After a little bit of Workaround, this is the result:
    In our Appln., We have extended JTable and override the editingStopped(e) method of JTable , so that, if the input value is wrong, then the Focus should stay in the Same field after showing the error message (By default the focus moves to the next field after showing the message). For achieving above condn., we are calling Input verifier's Verify() method (Is there any way ???) in the overridden method.
    In case of Java 1.5, the JComponent's requestFocus(bool) also checks whether the input is valid by calling Input Verifier's shouldYieldFocus() method.
    So, that's why message is getting displayed twice...so what is the soln., bcoz i want the focus should not be lost if the input is wrong.
    thanx.

  • Mail messages sometimes displaying twice

    Lately, Mail sometimes displays new messages that have just arrived twice. There don't seem to be 2 actual copies of the message in the inbox, just the same messages displayed twice. It's kind of an odd behavior, really. If a message is clicked on and viewed in the preview window, the duplicate displayed doesn't change from unread to read. However, if a message is deleted both lines displaying the message go away and only one appears in the trash.
    This doesn't happen all of the time, just sometimes. Shutting down mail and reopening it gets rid of the duplicated message displays, but then some other time checking mail it will happen again.
    Anybody have any ideas on how to make this go away permanently? Thanks in advance.

  • Prevent that error messages are displayed twice

    Hi All!
    How can I prevent that error messages are displayed twice.
    The FuBa is called at the backend more than one time (at least twice)
    therefore I get every message twice.
    Regards
    sas

    Sas-
    I'm not sure if I understood your problem. Are you saying that you have a service which you call in a loop, and display the error message in the loop as well? If so an option would be to have a [HashMap|http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/HashMap.html] where the key is the error message id, and the value is the error message. In the loop check if the error message id returned by your service already exists in the map and add it only if absent. Then after your loop is complete use the MessageManager to display your consolidated error messages.
    Cheers-

  • Text Message display on Curve 9360

    Hi...just got a new Curve 9360. The default text message display shows all messages i.e. if I've sent a text most recently that is what I see at the top. What I want it to do is show the SMS Inbox (which I can navigate to via the folder options, but I can't find a way to set it as a default). Can't work out how to do it either on the device or when connected to the PC. Any suggestions...?...R

    Do you mean that currently ALL of your email messages and SMS text messages are mixed in one folder when you view, and you want to see a folder on your homescreen of ONLY your SMS text messages? And your email messages in another folder?
    If so, on your device, open that Messages folder > press the Menu key > Options > Inbox Management and check the box on "Text Messages", and save. That will put an SMS Text message folder on your screen.

  • Mail messages disappear from the Inbox, but are still in ~/Library/Mail

    Folks,
    I'm encountering a perplexing problem on my parent's eMac; any input would be very much appreciated...here's the story:
    Over the weekend, I upgraded my Dad's 1.25GHz eMac G4 to Tiger (it had been running 10.3.9). The upgrade went smoothly, and all seemed well. I applied all the latest Apple Software Updates to get the eMac to 10.4.6, and once again, all seemed well. I performed the usual Disk Utility "permission fixing," as well, and nothing came up that seemed unusual. I did notice that I encountered the "spinning beach ball" a fair amount during routine operations, but I attributed this to the fact that the eMac only has 512MB of RAM (it's going to receive another 512 in a few days), and that I was just being impatient, given that I am accustomed to my own machine, which is a relatively snappy dual 2.5GHz G5 with the full complement of 8GB of RAM. A day or so later, Dad reported that the Mail app was not starting; upon clicking the Mail icon, it simply bounced several times, and then simply stopped bouncing. I looked at the crash logs and found that Mail could not locate a needed file/library located in /System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework. In addition, I noticed that the iCal app and the Address Book app were also crashing (the icons of each would bounce, just like Mail's, then stop, without the apps actually firing up). The crash logs revealed that those apps were also looking for this mysterious file, which apparently had somehow been misplaced/lost. I used the "Pacifist" program to reinstall the contents of that particular directory (using the Tiger install CD). Much to my relief, once that directory was reinstalled, the apps once again started up and worked normally. HOWEVER, I noticed some odd behavior with the Mail app. The first thing that became evident was that the Inbox did not show all the messages that had been there before. Looking under the ~/Library/Mail/POP-Dad's account/INBOX.mbox/Messages directory, however, it was clear that all the messages were indeed there (in the form of the individual .emlx files). They just did not seem to be displayed in the Inbox of the Mail app. I tried doing a "rebuild" of the mailbox, but this did not result in any additional messages being displayed. Any thoughts?
    The other perplexing behavior is this: the Mail app on the eMac can send and receive mail, but, once you click on a newly-received (unread) message, and then go to another mail box (say, for example, the "Drafts" or "Sent" folders), and then return to the Inbox, the message that was just received is no longer displayed/listed in the Inbox. Once again, looking in the ~/Library/Mail/POP-Dad's account/INBOX.mbox/Messages directory reveals that the message IS there (again, in its own .emlx file), but is simply not being displayed in the Inbox. I can click on the individual .emlx files, and they open new windows in Mail, from which you can hit "reply" or "forward," as normal; it just won't display the actual message that was originally in the Inbox. Sent messages, however, seem to be saved/displayed normally.
    I've searched through the Mail discussion forum, and while I've found discussions along generally similar lines, I have not located an entry dealing with these particular symptoms. As such, any input/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for your time.

    Regarding the missing package that you reinstalled with Pacifist, it would have been better to fix the problem by reinstalling the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Combo Update. Actually, you're going to have to do that anyway, as the package you installed came from an older version of Mac OS X and could now be out-of-sync with the rest of the system. Not only that, but if there was something amiss with that package, chances are that something else went awry as well, so you should really reinstall the latest Combo Update. Read the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
    Troubleshooting installation and software updates
    Installing software updates
    Basically, you should verify/repair the boot volume (not just permissions) before installing the update, and no applications should be running while installing it.
    As to the missing messages, the conversion from Mail 1.x to Mail 2.0 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."
    If you see a strangely named Messages-XXXXXX folder within any of the *.mbox folders in the Finder, that means the conversion didn't proceed as it should, so be careful about deleting the old files, as they may contain messages that didn't come through. Better just move them out of there if you wish.
    I partially disagree with Allan (and with Ernie, who also has troubleshooted a lot of similar cases and believes the old files could still be troublesome after a successful conversion as well) in that I don't think the problem with Mail 2.0 is the presence of the old files, but rather that, as a result of the improper conversion, there is something wrong with Envelope Index and with some of the converted messages themselves. IMO, the old files shouldn't be a problem if the conversion worked properly. Mail should just ignore those files when it sees a proper Messages folder in the mailbox folder.
    The reason you cannot see in Mail some messages for which an *.emlx file exists is precisely that there is something wrong with Envelope Index. Mail will simply ignore any *.emlx file for which a corresponding entry does not exist in Envelope Index. Actually, Mail doesn't look into the Messages folder at all when displaying the mailbox contents, it just loads whatever there is in Envelope Index. If that information is wrong, the information displayed by Mail will be wrong as well; it may refer to messages that no longer exist, ignore messages that do exist, display one message but load a different one when you open it, etc.
    Re-creating Envelope Index without cleaning up the mailboxes first would probably fail and it could even make things worse, though. That's what makes troubleshooting these issues harder than it should be.

  • Mail app displays the wrong Inbox when you open it.

    This problem can be easily reproduced if you have more than one email account configured in iOS 4.x
    It should be extremely simple to fix with the next update. I see that this same problem has been mentioned before, but I couldn't update that thread because it's "archived." If you want Apple to fix this, please report the issue to Apple using one or more of the links below:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html (not sure if iPad Mail app is affected)
    Here's what I submitted...
    Subject:
    Simple software design issue in Mail app.
    Feedback Type:
    Design/Ease of Use
    Comments:
    Thanks for your work on making iOS better and better with each update! There is no option to provide general iOS feedback, so I'll submit this under "iPhone" and "iPod." I'm currently using the latest iOS (4.3.1).
    The native Mail app in iOS has had the Unified Inbox feature since iOS 4.0, which is very useful. However, there is a minor design flaw that could be easily resolved with a software update.
    My setup:
    I have 3 Exchange accounts on my device (Hotmail, Gmail[Default], Work). The Hotmail Inbox is empty at least 98% of the time because my Gmail account periodically downloads the messages. The only reason I have the Hotmail account entered on my device is to make sure I can see a message in "All Inboxes" even before my Google account retrieves it. On my device, the Gmail account is set as default for Mail and Contacts.
    The problem:
    I never intentionally select the Inbox for the Hotmail account because it should almost always be empty. I would simply view "All Inboxes." Still, half the time I open the Mail app, it shows the empty Hotmail Inbox. This is very annoying!
    I finally figured out how to reproduce it consistently:
    (must have more than one account configured)
    1) Launch the Mail app and back-up to the screen that shows the list of accounts / Inboxes (I usually try to leave it here when I'm done, hoping to see that screen the next time I open Mail).
    2) Without selecting a specific account or Inbox, push the Home button to exit the Mail app.
    3) Kill the Mail process from the multi-tasking menu.
    4) Open Mail again
    Mail will show whichever Inbox comes immediately after "All Inboxes", even if it's not your default account. In my case, it starts in the empty Hotmail Inbox every time...a folder that I never intentionally select. Each time, I have to go back to the list and tap "All Inboxes."
    So, if I leave Mail on the root screen before killing the process, it consistently displays the wrong Inbox the next time I open it. If I select an Inbox or "All Inboxes," it will remember that selection and show me that screen the next time I open Mail.
    What it should do:
    When Mail doesn't know which Inbox to display, it should...
    A. Start on the root screen with the list of accounts and Inboxes (preferred option).
    or B. Start in "All Inboxes" (secondary preference).
    or C. Start in the Inbox of the default account (not preferred, but better than showing an empty/unused Inbox).
    Thank you!

    Try this...
    Launch the Mail app.
    Navigate to the "Mailboxes" page (the page that lists all of your accounts).
    Tap "Edit" in the top right corner.
    Scroll down to the bottom section of the page, titled "ACCOUNTS".
    Drag the triple-bars on the right to reorder the accounts listed. The first account listed will be the one that the app launches to.
    Hope this helps, I went crazy trying to figure that out and it worked for me.

    Yesterday was my first day on portal and was trying it out without reading in details of the working. Now that i have read it I won't be touching skeleton files.
    Same names used for header in skeleton and shell were a bit confusing
    Doc says "do not be confused by the identically named header.jsp for both the look & feel and the shell header. They are different files with different uses. The fact that both have the same name is coincidence."

I am trying to view an old email that was sent approx 3 months ago, which puts it about 600 or 700 email messages down in my Inbox.

    You will not be able to reinstall Omnipass because Lenovo does not supply the setup files. It is possible to "retrieve" the setup files using certain methods, but it is not advisable to do so.
    I do recommend that you try the Lenovo Fingerprint Software, since I believe it is much better than the Omnipass software in terms efficiency and integration.
