Multiple Copies of Composed Emails in Trash

I am using Mac Mail with OS X 10.8.2 with my Gmail account.  When I compose an email it keeps quite a few draft copies of an email I am composing in the trash folder.   The longer I take to compose the email the more copies there are.  For example in an email I recently compose there were eighteen copies in the trash folder and one completed copy in the sent folder..  The copies are slightly different as drafts are being saved to the trash folder as I am composing the email.  Is there any way to keep this from happening.  It is annoying because when you go to trash you see so many slightly different copies of an email that wasn’t actually deleted, but was composed and sent.  Thanks in advance.

I have this issue too. Very annoying.

  • Multiple copies of same emails

    Hey,
    My problem started few days ago, I received multiple copies of same emails (about 5 copies/email). Now I tried to delete those copies using the plugin (Remove multiple messages) but it doesn't seem to delete. Still shows same amount of emails (about 35000), about 28000 needs to be deleted, in my inbox folder.
    So when I try to get new emails, it says hard-drive is full etc... it isn't full. Webmail works great, but only have the latest 7days emails.
    I'm using POP. please help to fix this fast.

    Were you able to resolve this problem? I have the same issue, but on a macbook pro.

  • Mail is putting multiple copies of sent emails in my drafts folder, or in trash.

    Mail is putting copies of emails successfully sent in my drafts folder, sometimes multiple copies, sometimes in trash.
    Also, new email keeps entering my inbox after I've moved it to other mailboxes or to the trash or junk mail. Also, if I search for a name to which I have sent or from which I have received an email, the results shows a copy of each mail in all these mailboxes: Important, All Mail, Sent Mail, Sent G-Mail. This is a recent phenomenon. For every sent email I get 5 copies in my trash box.

    I phoned up Appe Support yesterday and i discovered that SOME (not all) of my trouble was caused by my 2 Gmail accounts, which werent correctly designated as Gmail Server WITH the correct password, it was set to use the server from one of my other accounts.
    I do still have another problem which doesnt go away, i open Mail normally and there is ghost Open Window, which cannot be opened, to view my Mail i have to open a NEW viewer window, even though there is a Window open all ready, the Ghost window !

  • Multiple copies of same email and "Not Responding"

    I have been fighting with Thunderbird for about a week now and have not had any luck resolving my problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I have tried all of the suggestions on the FAQ page.
    Here are my symptoms:
    -Getting multiple copies of the same email with the same time stamp.
    -Not pulling new emails.
    -Whenever I try to navigate up or down through the inbox or open an email TB goes to Not Responding.
    -I have gotten the following script warnings:
    Script: resource://gre/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm:323
    Script: chrome://messenger/content/mailWindow.js:179
    Here is what I have tried:
    -I have totally removed and reinstalled TB (and recovered my profile).
    -I compressed the folders.
    -I rebuilt the Global Database.
    -Starting TB in safe mode did not seem to make much difference.
    Fortunately I have access to webmail through my ISP and it works fine.
    Thank you!

  • Multiple copies sent to email address with any app.

    Does anyone know why I am receiving multiple (3) copies of emails when I send from Outliner, iThoughts, and al my other apps?
    In settings I have bcc myself turned off.
    I just bought this iPad and I love it but it's driving me crazy because I can't figure this out.
    Thanks.

    HI,
    It's a bit like your Apple ID (Used to Access Apple Support Communities) and your Posting name or Alias here.
    You login with one name but we all see another.
    When a person is using the iOS device version of Messages on an iPhone, then the action of entering an Apple ID links that iPhone Number to the Apple ID.
    You may only know them as the ID they use.  The iMessages server does all the linking or the ID to the iPhone Number.
    If they don't add that Apple ID (Email) to their new phone then you will not be able to contact them  (Hopefully they cleared their old phone before giving it away.)
    If you know both Apple ID and iPhone Number then their Contact (Address Book) entry will show both when you type in their Name in Messages (in the "To" spot)

  • Reply/Forward flag change for multiple copies of same email

    I have a user with two email accounts:
    1 x POP
    1 x IMAP
    Sometimes people will send an email addressed to both addresses.  The user will reply to or forward the email in the POP address, but the copy of the email in the other account will also receive a reply status symbol causing confusion.
    The reason it's a real problem is this person is the PA to the general manager.  The POP account is her email address and the IMAP account is the general manager's email address.  She responds to her copy of the message in her POP account, but it then erraneously also updates the reply status on the IMAP account and the general manager then sees the reply symbol next to the message on his computer and thinks he's already replied to the email.
    First noticed in 10.6.7, upgraded to 10.6.8 - problem persists.
    Has anyone else experienced this or does anyone have suggestions on how to avoid this issue?

  • Multiple copies of email appearing in Apple Mail

    Suddenly I am starting to see multiple copies of an email in me Apple mail client.
    This seems to have started when I did the software upgrade earlier today - although I have no idea if this is a coincidence, or part of the problem.
    fyi I am using Apple mail with a Google App mail account. This has worked perfectly for a number of years until today. When I look in my gmail account using the web client there is only one copy of the email.
    Any ideas?

    In general iTunes is slightly more liberal when it comes to spelling than the iPod. As the iPod enumerates the tracks it will see each different spelling as a new artist so it may list one album multiple times. The iPod also takes no account of the Album Artist field so tracks with guest artists may also be viewed as separate albums. Disk No. & No. of disks may also affect the order in which tracks are enumerated or grouped. For a given album the following terms should all have exactly the same values. Album Title, Artist (except for Compilations), No. of Tracks, No. of Discs. & Part of a Compilation. The Sort Artist & Sort Album fields take precedence over Artist & Album and, if used, should either have the same values for all tracks, or match with the existing values for Artist & Album on other tracks.
    Normally selecting all the tracks from the album and overtyping the Album, Artist & Album Artist info. is enough to fix this issue, although once I had some weird extended character that refused to be replaced in certain tracks. In this case the answer was simply to add some random info. into each field, e.g. add X onto each value, apply the changes, then remove the excess text & reapply.

  • Multiple copies of email accounts, contacts and notes after syc.

    Can anyone suggest why after a routine sync between iTunes on my PC and my iPhone I now have multiple copies of my email accounts showing in iTunes and multiple copies of my contacts and notes on my phone?
    I have no iCloud account. I do not use iCloud. I have not changed any settings for the sync, which has been fine up until now.
    What I am left with is four copies of each email account on my iTunes and my iPhone, which I cannot seem to change. Outlook has only one copy of each email account. Outlook also only has one copy of each contact and one of each note but my iPhone now has four copies of each contact and four of each note.
    Any ideas what is going on and how I get back to normal please! Thanks.

    Tried deleting the orange account and adding it back in, no difference unfortunately.

  • Smartfolders full of emails from Trash

    My Smart Mailboxes (Mail 4.6 in Snew Leopard) used to be a massive time-saver.   Past tense.
    They are now clogged with multiple copies of each email (mainly gmail) message, many being in Trash (where multiple means as many as 50 copies of each message).   I have deleted everything in Trash.  The unwanted messages also include  Drafts, which I do not keep and have also become a time-waster. 
    The messages in Trash show up as two copies a minute, which is infuriating, since the Trash I manage is empty. 
    Equally baffling is the "Mailbox" called "Important" - not found on my Mac.   Should I be looking elsewhere?
    I often set up the Smart Mailboxes to have all mail To or From certain sets of individuals. This means that sometimes I use ANY of 10 or more conditions.  Until recently, this worked fine.
    Just what are these mails in Trash mailbox, which appears to be empty.   The Mailboxes storing the contents of my  Smart Mailboxes appear to be restricted to about
    Any suggestions as to how I can regain my productivity?
    Thanks

    To partly answer my own question:
    The mailboxes are not on my Mac! 
    Multiple messages in Trash disappear on emptying the Gmail Trash folder by logging directly into Gmail. 
    There does not appear to be a way to manage this from within Mail but I would be happy to be corrected. 
    Five minutes spent on this  = massive improvement in productivity.

  • Why does mail program show multiple copies of a message, in various stages of completion in the trash folder ?

    I am using an iMac with OS 10.9.4, Mail 7.3. My mail trash file contains multiple copies of partially complete messages I've sent. This problem seemed to begin when I began using "Maverick".

    I have this exact same problem.
    32 copies of one email. 3 o4 copies of others…
    Rebuilding the trash makes no difference at all.
    Any other suggestions? I have rebuilt my other mailboxes as well.

  • Apple mail multiple copies in trash

    With Apple Mail on my macbook pro I have multiple copies of a deleted mail appearing in the trash. This just started. How can I stop this?

    I have had this problem as well for some time now, only this happens on my iMac running Maverick.  If I delete an email, 10 copies show up in the trash.  Does anyone in the community know what is going on?
