Month & year old messages being delivered to phone

Sorry if this has been already answered on the forums, I did search, but didn't find a useful answer.
I have a Blackberry with a push email service from Vodafone UK. Unfortunately, what is happening is that I am occasionally (maybe one a day on average) being pushed old messages from months or years back that are already read.
I have looked at the headers of the messages in question and there doesn't seem to be anything strange about them - all the dates in the "Received" sections are correct as well as the "Date" section.
There doesn't seem to be any reason for them to come through - the time they arrive appears to have no relation to the time + date of the old message. I understand different mail servers can all implement their own additions to headers and mess around with them until they become difficult to parse, but so far the old mail has come from different people (and most of the time their old mail goes unnoticed).
Basically I can't see why particular messages should suddenly be re-sent to me.
I got in touch with Vodafone who (as I am my mail server admin) advised me to talk to RIM and the developers of the various products I run on the server), as the problem is unique to me according to them.
My set up is Courier-IMAP service, Plesk 9 env, CentOS 5 server.
I realise that a UID gets assigned to messages and I see no reason for this to change - I run no scripts on my mail that should update 2 year old messages randomly...
As far as I know I am not modifying the messages in any way that could cause them to suddenly pop up again to Vodafone/Blackberry. No mail client that I use has this problem (squirrelmail, thunderbird, @mail), so I don't see how Vodafone could be.
Any ideas anyone? It's not a major problem of course, I am just intrigued now and want to get to the bottom of it
Oh, and as suggested in another post, I have tried deleting and re-creating my account on the vodafone blackberry internet service site.
Any ideas anyone?

The issue here could be related to changing message ID's on the mail server,
the post below states Outlook could be causing the message ID's to be changed
but I have seen in the past where the ID's just randomly change.

Problems with Hotmail being delivered to phone

This has been problematic since I got my first smartphone two weeks ago. It would not receive e-mail at all, and gave me an error message saying the account password was incorrect. (It was not, I've had the same password for a few months) Then it cleared up, and the phone was receiving e-mail from my Hotmail account live for a couple of days, over the weekend. Now it does not appear to be syncing automatically, and when I sync it manually I no longer receive the error message, just no e-mail is being delivered at all?!! Anyone else having this problem? Any advice?

I had the same problem with my Droid Razr M. Kept on getting error messages such as you're getting. Read in another community to delete the Hotmail account from the "Email Folder." I might add, check the settings and write down all the information, such as port numbers, etc. before you erase the account. Than add the Hotmail account to the folder marked "Other." This seemed to do the trick for me. Another thing you might try is to download an Email server from the Google Play. There are several of them, and some are free. I downloaded GO Email, and it works like a charm.

Why have year-old messages started to reappear endlessly in my In-box?

The same 5 messages from beginning of July LAST year, about three weeks ago started to re-appear repeatedly in my In mailbox. In addition a one message of 14 July THIS years is doing the same. The frequency is about one message ”burst” every 15 minutes or so.
My In-box has ”three sub-boxes” (all pop-accounts):
The 5-message ”package” originates from a sub-box used only for forwarding mails under a different e-mail address from an external server, the July 14th message came into a sub-box used only for messages from my ISP. Other messages in these two sub-boxes (about 20 in each) have not been affected The third (really the primary) sub-box holds my other 9000 received messages and has not (luckily) so far been affected by the endless duplication problem.
Other info:
In all I have some 23000 in/out messages (2.6 GB) in my Apple Mail. I realize now, I long ago should have done rebuilds (and probably reorganizations) of the Mail-box and but that has never been done.
I have no rules implemented in Preferences/Rules. I had however Junk-mail rules activated, which I to-night changed to automatic (and no copying even before), but that does not seem to have had any impact on the duplication problem.
My problem, when I a couple of weeks ago realized that something had to be done and went to Mac Discussion forums, seemed somewhat similar to that in Article 25485 in the Panther or Earlier Mail Forum (which I have not been able to find again now, but have a print-out of the proposed solutions).
I tried the two solutions proposed; doing changes in preferences, and quitting Mail and moving out plist-files from Library/Mail to desktop and then restarting Mail (there were different plist-name files than those given for Panther, but I think I moved out all there were in Tiger). But the problem did not go away.
(I made a back-up of Mail first but sa wjust now that I shold copy "com.apple.mail.plist," located Library/Preferences and the folder "AddressBook," located in Library/Application Support. I will do that before further experimentation. )
I am about to start using a new computer (i Mac OS X v. 10.5.4) regularly, but have been holding back this for the last few weeks afraid that the above problem would be transmitted to the new if it was not solved on the old computer. I need to have quick access to many of my old e-mails, but probably could do without many of them; problem is finding time to discard those not essential
I would very much appreciate some advice on how the problem I tried to describe could be solved.
Best regards.

I am now using, as you suggested, the Target Disk Mode from my New iMac (iMac2) to my old (defective) iMac (iMac1). It worked fine to run DiskWarrior this way. The result however was probably what one should have expected based on earlier peculiarites, i. e. it could not replace the directory of iMac1, see below.
DW also says it has had to scavenge the iMac1 for certain information, which I read as meaning the iMac 1 cannot be restored to its previous state (correct??); that certainly was somewhat erratic but it still let me access old documents and mail. [My aim has been (and still is) to get Apple Mail to work correctly without the regenerated messages and then move the Mail system and all documents etc on iMac1 over to my new computer (iMac2) (and then do a complete new installation of OS X 10.4 and give the iMac1 from 2003 to my 6 year old granddaughter, provided the hardware is not broken)].
My immediate problem now is that I would like to follow DW urgent recommendation to immediately backup the Preview data somewhere, while I still have them before me.
I have a full SuperDuper on old iMac1, but failed to bring a copy over to iMac2 before I started the "Target" operation; I have now downloaded the free version from the SuperDuper people to iMac2, but it looks like that version maybe does not allow me to backup Prewiew to the disks available to me, without erasing the backup I made yesterday of iMac1 to my Backup Disk LaCied2.
Is there som other way to backup the preview for my stated purpose, e g copy all the Preview content to LaCied2 or iMac 2HD, without erasing present information on these disks? Maybe simply copying the Preview to La Cied2? If that is possible, would I have any use for such copies for my purpose.
Or would the full SuperDuper version, if I bought a second copy tonight into the iMac2 allow some other way of backing up the DW Preview without erasing existing information.
Hope for an answer tonight if at all possible, since I am sitting with both computers open, without knowing what I can expect after I turned them off without having Preview backed up.
I am sorry if I pose too many ignorant questions. I am a veteran user of Macintoshes in my work since they first appeared (in 84 in our country?) and before that 4 -5 years of Apple II, but I have never have had to take the time to try and learn even a minimum of the inner workings of the systems, because of their ease of use and remarkable reliability. But that means I am not familiar with most technicalities and terminology, which would have been good to possess now.
This is the report (short version) from DiskWarrior:
DiskWarrior has successfully built a new directory for the disk named "Macintosh HD." The new directory cannot replace the original directory because of a disk malfunction.
A disk malfunction is a failure of or damage to any mechanical component of the disk device, or any component connected to it. The malfunction will likely worsen. Therefore, recovering your ﬁles from the DiskWarrior Preview as quickly as possible is essential. [My comment: I had the combination of iMac1 and my first LaCie Backup disk starting to work increasingly erratic last winter until the disk finally ceased working 3 months ago.]
It is highly recommended that you backup all of your data from the preview disk.
The original directory is damaged and it was necessary to scavenge the directory to ﬁnd ﬁle and folder data.
Some ﬁles that had been lost or thrown away may have been recovered.
Comparison of the original and replacement directories could not be performed because the original directory was too severely damaged. It is recommended that you preview the replacement directory.
• All errors in the directory structure such as tree depth, header node, map nodes, node size, node counts, node links, indexes and more have been repaired.
• 50 ﬁles had a directory entry with an incorrect alias ﬂag that was repaired.
• 20 ﬁles had a directory entry with an incorrect text encoding value that was repaired.
• 1 folder had a directory entry with an incorrect ﬂag that was repaired.
• 106 folders had a directory entry with an incorrect custom icon ﬂag that was repaired.
• Incorrect values in the Volume Information were repaired.
• Critical values in the Volume Information were incorrect and were repaired.

Messages being delivered but not received

My friend messages me through their phone on iMessage every so often and I receive them on my iPad. When I send them a message back it says that the message has been delivered but they don't actually receive it.

Does your friend have more than one iOS device? It may be going to that other device. Is your friend sending you txt messages from a non iOS device? If they used to have iOS, and now they don't, apple may be thinking it is sending to a device that is no longer in use. If that is the case, your friend needs to goto apple.com, log into their account and de register that device.

1 year old messages return to inbox when I change boxes

I actually had this problem in Tiger and to my great surprise and disappointment it continued when I upgraded to Leopard.
Any time I go from one inbox or folder and then back to my mail inbox, a message will appear from roughly 1 year ago at the top of my inbox. The old messages seem to come in the sequence they came in a year ago - so I'll look in a mail folder and then return to my inbox to see a message from Nov. 17th 2007 from 10:25am. I delete it, and then if I repeat the process another message will come from the same date but 10:28am or whatever. If I don't delete them then no new (old) messages come.
I use 1and1.com pop mail service and those messages are long-gone from my mail server. It's taking them from either my archive or junk/trash folders.
If I erase junk and trash folders, then only message that are still on my system (in various folders) show up. They can be sent, archived or in a daily subscription folder that I want to keep.
Any thoughts?

Try rebuilding your Mail index like this:
1. Quit Mail if it's running.
2. Go to ~/Library/Mail and delete the Envelope Index file.
3. Restart Safari and wait for it to import your existing messages. When it's done, check to see if the problem persists. And you should empty the Trash in Mail when you quit the program. You can change that automatic behavior in Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors (check the box to move deleted messages to a separate folder and choose 'Erase deleted messages when:' "Quitting Mail from the pop-down menu.

Anyone have a problem sending text messages being delivered after few minutes up to five minutes?

Has anyone have a problem sending text messages and the messages won't get delivered after few minutes? From time to time I would have this problem and it's annoying. I would expect someone to receive it by then and response to my text right away. But when I look up the text it hasn't been delivered and it's in the process. I would hear that the message get delivered after few minutes? What gives? I never had a problem with my iphone 4 i think? Now with iOS 5 it let's me know whether it is delivered or not. This new feature is awesome but disappointing when I know my text hasn't been delivered right away. I'm not sure if it's the software or my iphone 4s or my carrier? anyone suggestions? Thanks!!

I have the same problem when sending iMessages.. Wasnt sure if it was apple or Sprint? But it happens VERY often and I end up having to send it as a text message instead

Exception: ORABPEL-05007 No messages being delivered

Can any one help me with the following errors? I have a number of composites deployed into an environment and all composites have stopped delivering messages. I can see from the EM console that the end point is being called when I run a test from the EM but the mediator, BPEL and child services are not being called. I have checked the logs and nothing is being produced?? This is stopping our whole environment from happening and this occurs more than once a week?

We tried to diagnose the cause of this problem multiple times by initially rebuilding the environment however the same issue occurred again.
We did notice that this was occuring over time rather than immediately after deploying code and eventually stumbled across what we think the cause was. It seems that in this environment (test) over time a number of instances were failing and that these instances would continually use up all the available threads within the environment. A Restart would free up the threads and some instances would process again but eventually the environment would ground to a halt again. It seems that the faulted instances would accumalate over time to a certain point where all available threads were in use which is when we seemed to get these errors.
To rectify we made sure that the developers had appropriate fault policies implemented along with time outs and avoided long synchronous transactions which seemed to stop the problems altogether. Haven't had this issue for some time now. We also made sure in dev and test environments that old instances of processes in running or faulted state where purged periodically to reduce the problems.
Hope this helps.

Is there a way to transfer old messages/texts(from previous phone) to an iphone?

Well to be honest I have some pretty valuable and memorable messages/texts in my old phone, and i want to keep them. There seems to be no option for that inthe phone. Please suggest what to do. And no my previous phone does not have the bluetooth or the transfer-to-computer optiong, all I can do is save messages in my sim.
Thanks

I think you'd need a SIM reader and software to pull the info off your SIM card. You won't be able to transfer it to the Messages program on your iPhone but at least you'd have a copy. If the phone is still active, you should be able to send the texts to an email account or to the iPhone.

Mail shows correct message Subject and Sender (in list) but displays an old message

OK, this is very weird.
I'm accessing Gmail using Mail 7.3 on an iMac running Mavericks 10.9.3.
A couple of days ago I started noticing that random emails -- not every one -- simply won't display in Mail. I can see that I got a new message, and the sender and Subject are correct. But if I click on it to see it in the preview pane, or if I double click on it to open it in a separate window, I get an entirely different message.
What displays is typically a 2 year old message, being pulled from my Google Archives! Very odd!
I have to use a web browser on gmail.com to see the message correctly. It also works fine on my iPhone.
FWIW, my gmail account is at 30% capacity. I archive almost everything immediately, so my inbox is rarely full. My archive box, of course, is huge. I just checked, and it's happening there, too! I don't see it happening in the junk file folder...
I use Mail for 8 other email accounts, including another gmail account. I haven't noticed the issue with any of the other accounts.
Any ideas? Thanks if so!
Cass

Thanks for the tip. I never saw Rebuild before in the menu.
So I selected the mailbox and hit Rebuild. It "blinked" and refreshed, took about 5 seconds--I thought it would take longer.
At any rate, no change. It's still happening.
Any other ideas?

Text messages are not being delivered from iPhone 4s

Why aren't my messages being delivered from my iPhone 4S?

Thank You Meg St._Clair contacted my carrier and fixed the problem on my iPhone 6 but still an issue on my iPad mini
Carrier could not fix the problem so said I would have to plug my iPad into my Mac and back it up and then restore factory settings
Havent done any of that yet!

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.

How to increase number of mesages being 'Delivered' at one time

Hi All,
         I have a Proxy to JDBC scenario, where SAP sends multiple proxy messages to be sent to the Database around 38 messages, each message with 50k records.
          Now in message monitoring I observe, that at one time there are 5 messages being delivered i.e status is 'Delivering' however the rest of the messages are in status 'To Be Delivered'.
          and when one of the five messges being delivered completes, another message from 'To Be Delivered' changes to 'delivering' status.
          My Question is can we increase this parameter somewhere that 10 messages will be delivered at one time instead of 5.
Or is it dependent on the number of concurrent connection Database aloows at one time.
Regards,
XIer

hi!
check this link and you'll find the current settings.
