Moved or deleted emails keep coming back to Mail inbox

Since Maverick installation, I have been trying to keep my folders from various email accounts organized like in the good old days of Lion but Mail keeps moving my emails back to the original inbox each time I try to either delete or move one of the emails (it usually happens after 3-5 minutes). So much time wasted every day... How to fix please? Thanks.

Just wondering if you have the latest Mail update. This may fix the issue.
Hope this helps

Why do my deleted emails keep coming back into my inbox?

I upgraded to Maverick last week and now I can't delete any of my emails. They keep coming back into my inbox after I try to delete them. Help!

Make sure you have option set to delete from server when read. Otherwise they will keep coming back.

Deleted emails keep coming back since the last big update on my macbook pro

Ever since the update that removed the ability to work with spaces on my mac, I have had issues with deleted emails coming back, even after deleting more than once. Very frustrating.
Side note: I preferred using the spaces function when moving from email to internet to other programs. Not a huge fan of the updated function.

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore is not, in itself, a solution.
First, empty the Trash, if possible.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C:
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 $ 2>&- | wc -l | pbcopy
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
The output of the command will be a number. It's automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste it into a reply.
The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

Deleted emails keep coming back to inbox

I've deleted emails off iPad inbox, yet they come back and I'm constantly being kicked out of the mail section!!
Emails on iPhone are fine!

Deleted emails keep coming back

This seems like a common problem, but I've yet to see a solution. I'm on an iPhone 4, and whenever I delete emails, they constantly return 2 to 3 times before finally staying deleted.
My emails come through my personal site account on godaddy, (secureserver.net), and all my settings seem to be correct to delete emails from the server when deleted from my phone. I've reset settings, restarted phone, updated, etc etc etc. Nothing seems to stop this from happening. I know it's not THAT big of a deal, since I can delete them AGAIN, but it is really frustrating.

Having the Same issue. @#$%ing annoying. My pop account worked fine for like 3 weeks, and then the mail program started doing this. POS.

My deleted emails keep bouncing back into my inbox

Hi
Every time I delete my emails, they find their way back into my inbox. It's really annoying, & they're beginning to come back immediately, whereas it was initially taking a few hours
Help!!

If you don't have any devices apart from iPad then ignore this post...
Do you have the mail syncing across all your devices enabled?
I heard somewhere that when you delete an email on one device, it doesn't delete on others. The syncing only supports receiving emails and not deleting them.
Maybe this is the cause of your problem - you are deleting the email from your iPad, logging on iPhone, for example, and then it syncs it back to your iPad?

Deleted Emails Keep Coming Back -- WHY has this not been fixed?

Settings on iPhone:
Mail Type: POP
Deleted Messages = After One Day
Delete from Server = Whn removed from inbox
iOS: 5.1.1
Okay.....this is ridiculous, if you search the web you find hundreds of people complaining about this problem and not one offers any type of solution. This never happened on my Blackberry. This ONLY started happening again a few weeks ago on the iPhone.
I have NOT changed any settings anywhere as it relates to email. This is just annoying when you are trying to work and you get buzzed to only find the same ones deleted are back again.
Is there a FINAL solution to this problem Apple.
Thanks to all who respond.

If it used to work properly you could try deleting and recreating the account on your phone to see if that would help. Otherwise you might have to contact godaddy support to see if they know if their server will honor the settings on your phone.

Deleted emails keep coming back (3.0.1)

Hi
Since installing 3.0.1 any emails I delete return after reboot.
I delete any new emails from my inbox. I then empty my trash for that account.
If I then swith off the phone completely (say, overnight) and then switch it back on, all the emails are back and my trash is full again.
These emails definitely no longer exist on the mail server, so aren't being downloaded again.
Does anyone else have this problem?
More importantly, anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks
Mr M

Apple please come up with a fix for this!
I am in the same boat as misterm2009. Since last night I have been unable to delete the emails in one of my iPhone email accounts. They show up as new emails but when I try to delete them, either by 'edit' or going to the message and 'trashcanning' it they go but then just reappear as new messages. During the deletion I might be lucky and delete all 6, now 7, of them but more often than not the screen blanks during the process and returns me to the main iPhone home page. Any emails that looked like they had been deleted just reappear as new emails on the icon at the bottom.
I am running os 3.1 and due to a running issue with my previous 3G iPhone am loathe to update to 3.1.2. It kept crashing during update and then was unable to restore....became a useful paperweight! Apple finally thought the phone had a glitch but could not guarantee it.
I have carried out a phone reset by holding the 2 buttons down, deleted offending email account and re-entering the details and I think the phone was restored at one point today but still they come back!!!!! I have checked and they are not on the server and are not continuously appearing in MS Outlook.
Any ideas all you very knowledgeable, helpful people? Especially Apple support!
Cheers

Old emails keep coming back

I am using Mail on a macbook pro with retina display, running OS X 10.9.5. Recently, duplicates of old emails keep coming back into my inbox - unread, as if they were brand new emails. They always come a handful at a time. They show the original dates of receipt, so they appear way down in my inbox and I have to sort by 'unread' to bring them to the top and delete them. There seems to be no rhyme or reason - e.g. some are from contacts, some aren't, some I deleted when I originally received them, some I kept, some I replied to, some I didn't. Any ideas on how to stop this happening?

Cool.
First, when it finds the OLD messages can you actually open them up? If so, you can/should rebuild your Trash Mailbox. I suspect you cannot open the old message though, which points to your Envelope INDEX being messed up.
Quit Mail. Then, under ~/Library/Mail is a file called Envelope Index. Move it to the Trash. Or if that makes you nervous, drag it to the desktop. Open Mail. It will give you a message that will scare you -- a Welcome to Mail or a Mail Message Import window will pop up. This is fine. It will tell you it is importing your mail. Really it sees all your mailboxes but no index so it is creating that index.
See if that doesn't fix your problem.

Can not delete my emails. The same emails keep coming back instantly

I can not delete email messages. The same messages keep coming back instantly.

What seems to have worked for other users in the past.
Delete, then reinstall the email account
Then sync the iPad.
No one knows why, but it often fixes the problem.

How do I delete old email so it does not keep coming back into my inbox?

I am having so much trouble with my email on the iPad. I cannot delete it. It comes right back and floods my inbox. I have now gone to webmail and removed it from the serve and it STILL comes back. All the companies that I identified as SPAM with my server and do not come into my iMac inbox all come into my iPad inbox. It is horrible. I've tried everything...changing settings, etc. and the problem continues. The way it is now, the email function is almost useless on my iPad and it really should not be. I should be able to delete mail and have it stay deleted.

I've talked to Cox (my ISP) and they say this is the only way it can be set up. Two different people at the Apple store in this area have said that Cox has an old server and that is causing the problem. Cox says none of this is their problem, and they do not deal with the iPad email, only the iMac email.
I just noticed that the trash on my iPad was filled with the mail that keeps coming back. I deleted it...which I had never done because I didn't even know it was there. Nothing more has come back into the inbox (this could be purely accident, but it is the first time I've had an inbox with fewer than 24 old emails). Should I be deleting the mail from the iPad trash every day? Is there a setting for it to empty automatically..or does this not have anything to do with the problem?
I also did change the settings to add the 'west' but that probably doesn't matter.
Thanks for your help. The email is such a problem that I hardly bother using the iPad. I'd really like to get it fixed.
Also should it be on 'push' or 'fetch?'

Macbook Pro - mail account. Deleted messages keep coming back!

Hey,
I've deleted several messages (they were also in my drafts) and they keep popping back up in my sent mail and inbox, sometimes multiple copies of the same message. I want those messages gone. They keep coming back!!!! How do I fix this?

In Mail you have to move the message to gmail trash. Just deleting the message assigns it the delete label but doesn't delete it. You can truly delete the messages in web gmail, however.
I hope this helps.
