Messages reappear in mail.app inbox when they are moved into folders on my mac (10.7 Lion)

Have an extremely frustrating problem with OSX 10.7's mail.app.  Specifically, using an imap setup w/AOL I file messages into appropriate folders in the "On My Mac" section.  And the messages move into the folders, but they apparently aren't getting deleted from the IMAP server because they'll reappear in my inbox as unread.  This is quite annoying, as I receive hundreds of emails per day and am accountable for responding to them, which means I cannot ignore them the second time they appear on the off-chance that they happen to be a reply in the same thread or a follow-up question.
I've tried many things: diskwarrioring the drive, rebuilding mail's envelope index using onyx, even deleting the account entirely & re-adding it.  Nothing has worked.  Hopefully there's a magic bullet for this one.

Try posting this in the 10.7 Mail forum. You'll get more help there.

  • HT2534 Why can't I install apps. When they are free?

    Why can't I install apps. When they are free?

    Try anything from the 12 Days of Christmas app or any other app from the App Store.
    1. Tap the "Free" button
    2. Tap the "Install App" button
    The button will switch to the "Installing" button quickly and then go back to the "Free" button and thats it.  No workie!
    Can't believe this is broken.

  • Mac desktop. 10.6.8. Text edit. Not locked. Read and write. Still, documents are locking when they are moved from desktop to another folder on the server. Techies can't figure it out here. What am I not doing?

    Mac desktop. 10.6.8. Text edit. Not locked. Read and write, not read only. Documents are locking when they are moved from desktop to another folder or saved directly into that folder on the server. Not happening with anyone else but me and the boss's computer so has to be in the properties for my text edit software. Techies can't figure it out after trying for two weeks. Boss can do a cut and paste and put into a new document, but that's starting to become a problem.

  • Incorrect message count in Mail.app inbox (not unread message count)

    In Mail.app my inbox is empty but I have a current count of about 4.3 billion messages (varies some). Does anyone know a fix for this? I have 3 IMAP accounts set up as well as several RSS feeds. This is not a major problem since the new message count is usually correct (except for some minor issues updating the GMail count) but is a nuisance still.

    It is not the answer to "billions", but click on View and see which is offered: Hide Deleted Messages or Show Deleted Messages, and whether shown in gray or black type?
    Perhaps you should use Rebuild on each individual Inbox. If you do, be aware that all messages seem to disappear, before returning, so do not panic and do anything until Rebuild is finished.

  • GarageBand and OSX Server have 'INSTALL' buttons in App Store when they are installed

    Hi,
    GarageBand and OSX Server keep showing up under the Purchases tab in App Store with an 'Install' button even though they are installed.  All the other apps that are installed have an 'Open' button.  I tried installing multiple times and it keeps saying 'Install'.  My concern is that I won't get updates because the system thinks they're not installed.
    Regards, Patrick

    Unless you erased the disk when you reinstalled OX v10.7, your apps should still be in your Applications folder.
    You can only, "Accept" one time...
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed  then click Install.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

  • How to I make pop up windows go back to the left side of the screen when they are moving to the right?

    Whenever I click on a link, a new window pops up. That's good, that's what I wanted. They've always opened on the left side of the screen. However, they are now opening in the middle of the screen. This has happened before and the screen eventually opened completely on the right. Last time this happened, I ended up having to delete something. I don't remember what, but it solved the issue. Please help!

  • IPhone mail app - inbox disappears once i go into message

    Not sure what's going on here, but suddenly this morning on my iPhone 3G running latest software as soon as I go into an email message to read it, all access to my inbox is suddenly shut off. There's no "next/previous message" buttons nor a "back to inbox" option. There is just the message. All I can do is move it to a diff folder or trash it and then it still just brings me back to the next message (older, not even newer). I got back to my inbox by turning off mail in settings then turning account back on again. But as soon as I was back in inbox and opened up a message I was right back in the bad loop.
    Has this happened to anyone? Did I finger swipe an option off by accident?
    Thanks in advance for any ideas...

    There is no option that provides for this.
    If there is a problem with an account's mailbox, turning the account off does not remove the mailboxes for the account. Doing so prevents the mailboxes for the account from being available along with not being able to receive or send any messages with the account.
    Try deleting and recreating the account on your iPhone.

  • How do I get my iPhone3 to stop showing 2 new messages in the inbox when they are none there?

    The mailbox icon on my iPhone has the little red bubble with a number 2 next to it, but when I go to my inbox, I don't see any unread messages. Is there something I did wrong? What do you suggest I do? Thanks!

    Hey jel177!
    It seems like you may need to turn off your iTunes in the Cloud features and download or sync the songs manually to your phone. Here is a link that can help you adjust those settings:

  • Pages and numbers under the free app section when they are not free?

    Why in gods name are you doing this apple, I am an avid buyer of your software and hardware, but just putting those under the free charts tell me you are manipulating your stats, for all, keep it there and make it free, or at least make it free for the people who have bought it for their apple computers. Pick one and Do it right.

    Ummm... these are user to user forums.  You are not addressing Apple by posting here so I'm not even sure what you hope to gain by complaining to us. So follow your own advice and "do it right."

  • Why can't I click on the movie clips when they are moving fast?

    I am making a game where insects in an array fall down from above the screen. The user clicks on these insects to increase his/her score. When the score reaches specific points, the speed increases. When the speed increases, it gets harder to click on these movieclip insects. There is one particular insect where you can't click on and destroy at all when the speed becomes fast. This is the code inside this particular insect. Note that all insects have the same codes in them, but this insect in particular is very hard to click. This insect also has animation in it; I tried making a transparent box around to make the click easier, but it's still not working right.
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
        import flash.display.MovieClip;
        import fl.motion.Animator;
        import flash.events.*;
        var MainTimeLine = MovieClip(root);
        this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, kill3);
        this.dead = false;
        function kill3(e:MouseEvent):void
            this.dead=true;
            mouseChildren=false
            gotoAndPlay(31);
            this.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, kill3);
            flash.utils.setTimeout(removeSelf2,2000);
        function removeSelf2():void
            this.parent.removeChild(this);

    there's nothing about a movieclip's speed that would stop it from being clickable.
    your transparent box, should have its visibility property true and alpha=0.

  • No sound is coming through my headphones when they are plugged in

    For some reason, sound is no longer coming out of my headphones when they are plugged into my laptop. I have had my laptop for 3 years and never had this problem with this computer or any computer. When the headphones are plugged in, the sound comes through the speakers in the computer but not through the headphones. Its really frustrating and I would love some help figuring out what is going on.

    What generation Nano do you have?  I assume a 5G Nano, since you are referring to sound output through the iPod's external speaker.  If that is the case, first make sure your headphones are plugged all the way, meaning the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano.
    Also try to reset the device by pressing and holding both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • How to prevent mail app on OS X & iOS from automatically marking email messages as read just when they are selected either intentionally or not

    Good morning guys
    is there a way to prevent mail app on OS X & iOS from automatically marking email messages as read just when they are selected either intentionally or not
    thanks

    On OS X, You are able to hide the preview window on the right in normal mode, or on the lower side in classic mode, by simply putting your cursor on the thin bar which is in between, and then make it as small as possible, so it goes away.
    Then your messages won't be automatically read when clicked once, but only if you click them twice and a new window with the message opens.
    Also, you are able to mark them as unread again, which is a silly workaround, but possible.
    You can do that by right clicking and select 'Mark as...' -> unread.
    On iOS, I'm not sure..

        backpack12,
    Voicemails are a vital part of having a working phone. We do suggest that you look at the contact and then the number to make sure that it is *86. If you are needing to get your voicemails until then, please dial *86.

  • After upgrading to OSX Mavericks Mail App quite when try to open my MS Exchange Mail Messages

    After upgrading to OSX 10.9 Mail App quits when try to open my Mail messages. I have a MS Exchange account. I have removed account and installed it again. All messages where downloaded normally but when I just click on a mail the app quits :/

    The option key... I've been holding down the command key... No wonder that didn't work. I should really be writing this stuff down!.
    Regardless, Downloading and reinstalling iTunes did the trick.
    Thank you mende1 & saffron63 for the assist!
