Outlook 2013 - duplicate emails in subfolders

Hello! 
I'm using Gmail...thenIMAP Outlook 2013. In Outlook, I have created subfolders under my Inbox with RULES that move emails to those subfolders. Well, when the rules run, they are duplicating the emails when moving to the subfolders...there was originally
1 email sent and goes into the inbox as 1 email. But when the rule runs (I have verified I only have 1 rule feeding this subfolder), it duplicates it. I don't know if Outlook is sending/receiving too fast so it sees 2 emails and that's the problem? What is
the best send/receive timing to put on IMAP accounts? I had it to send/receive every 1 minute, but I'm worried this could be causing it. Any other thoughts/suggestions how to fix this issue? Thank you for your time!

Usually a “Move to folder” rule will  give you some duplicates. This is because for each e-mail received, Outlook will fire all configured rules against it. So,you might need to add the
stop processing more rules option to each rule that you have set up.
Here is how to do this step-by-step:
1. Go to the Home menu.
2. Click Rules and select Manage Rules & Alerts…
3. Double-click your rule in the Rules and Alerts window.
4. After the rule is open, select Next to go to the Select Action(s) window.
5. Select Stop Processing More Rules.
6. Click Finish
7. If you have multiple rules, you may need to repeat this cycle for each rule that you have active.

  • Outlook sends duplicate emails

    Some users may have encounter the issue that Outlook sends duplicate emails to the recipients, this can be really frustrating as the
    causes can be varied so that it’s really hard to troubleshoot . In this article, some most common causes will be introduced, which helps us troubleshoot this kind of
    issue.
    Send emails on Web first
    Before we determine whether it is a server side issue or Outlook client side issue, please logon the webmail, or OWA for Exchange Accounts, send some test emails to have
    the recipients to check again whether they receive duplicate emails. If the recipients don’t receive duplicate emails, we can tell it is probably an Outlook client issue.
    Anti-Virus program
    As some Anti-Virus programs may have been integrated with Outlook to keep the users from spams and viruses, it may also bring some issues sometimes. The program may also scan the outgoing emails and bring troubles, such as making the emails sent multiple
    times.
    Contact the program provider to know how to disable the integration with Outlook, and exit the Anti-Virus program temporarily, send test emails to see the result.
    Similar to Anti-Virus program integration, it can be some add-ins, we can run Outlook in Safe Mode as well:
    Run -> Type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box -> OK.
    If the issue is gone when Outlook is running in Safe Mode, disabling the add-ins which may fix the
    problem.
    Send/Receive interval conflict
    In Outlook we can set an interval according to which Outlook performs a Send/Receive task. Imagine there is an email with a large attachment needs to send, the sending process starts in the first Send/Receive task, but doesn’t complete when the second Send/Receive
    starts. Then Outlook may try to send the email again during the second Send/Receive task, which ends up with two same emails in the recipient’s Inbox.
    In Outlook 2013, under SEND / RECEIVE tab, click Send/Receive Groups -> Define Send/Receive Groups. We can then see the window below:
    The default interval is 30 minutes, if you think it’s too long you can make it shorter. My suggestion is not to set the interval too short, it should be at least 10 minutes, especially when you have multiple accounts setup in Outlook and always need to send
    emails with attachments.
    Server Timeouts
    This is particular for IMAP and POP accounts. When we have a slow Internet or the latency is high, Outlook may not get response from the Server in time, thus Outlook considers the connection to the server is lost, by default, after 1 minute.
    However, if the message has actually been sent in the bad Internet condition, but Outlook doesn’t get a response from the server, it may still try to submit the message in the Outbox in the next Send/Receive task.
    We can increase the Server Timeouts to 2 or 3 minutes in this scenario, it will be more probably that Outlook can get the correct response from the server if the message is sent.
    For IMAP:
    For POP:
    IMAP Sent Items options
    This is only for IMAP accounts. The recipient may not receive duplicate emails but the sender gets duplicate emails in the Sent Items folder.
    In Outlook, there are options for us to decide to save the sent items or not for IMAP accounts.
    Outlook 2010:
    Outlook 2013:
    The IMAP account provider may also save a copy on the Server, if you have configured to save a copy in Outlook, this may result in duplicate. In Outlook 2010, select “Do not save copies of sent items” under Sent Items tab; In Outlook 2013, check “Do not
    save copies of sent items” under Advanced tab. Then send test emails to check the result.
    Another thing to check is under FILE tab -> Options -> Mail -> Save messages -> Save copies of messages in the Sent Items folder, we can uncheck this option to see the result. What we should note is it’s a global option that applies to all accounts.
    If your provider doesn’t save emails on the server, it’s better not to uncheck this setting.
    To know if the provider saves the sent emails on the server, contact them or check the webmail settings.
    If you have anything to add or any feedback, feel free to let me know.

    Hi,
    I found two related links, It might be caused by two or more Outlook clients are logged into the same mailbox at the same time, or some inappropriate configurations in Outlook.

  • Outlook 2013 Issues (Emails go missing when stucked in Outbox after restarted Outlook)

    Hi,
    I have being using Outlook 2013 for email but i have face for two main issues as below which is quite annoy me sometime.
    1. Email stucked at Outbox (even is just a normal email without attahcment). Those emails which were stucked at Outbox will goes missing if i just close the Outlook and re-open the Outlook again.
    2. Outlook will hangs/ freeze (showing Not Responding) when half way I just viewing my email in Inbox or I click on Calendar.
    I have tried to some of the suggestion across other forums such as:
    - Disable the add-in (example: Social Outlook Connector/ Lync Meeting (which i dont have it to use) and etc.)
    - Checked on the Program Features and clear all the office plugin
    - Change the Aero Setting in Windows
    - Disable Anti Virus (Just guessing)
    - Reinstalled the Office 2013 (Outlook 2013)
    - recreated the Outlook profile
    However after tried, the first two issue still happened and the critical part is the email will goes missing after i reopen the Outlook.
    More Info:
    - When the email stuck at Outbox, the Outlook is show "Connected to Exchange"
    - My company is using Exchange Server 2007 R2 (not sure got any related or not)
    Anyone can get help on this?!!! Thanks a lot!!!
    The reason I re-posted this issue as the previous as remarked as answered but somehow after that no more ppl reply.. i need more ppl's suggestion here!! 
    Thank you

    Hi,
    Generally for emails stuck in Outbox issue, we need to try basic steps as below:
    1. Work offline, move the stuck mail into another folder. Restart Outlook and Work online to send it again.
    2. Temporarily uninstall or disable firewall and antivirus software.
    3. Test in Outlook safe mode.
    4. Create a new profile and re-setup your account.
    As you have tried to disable Anti-virus, we also remind you to disable the firewall to test.
    Please run MFCMAPI to check if there are emails or corrupted items that are stuck in Outbox, if yes, please delete them.

    Here are some articles which use MFCMapi from where you can get some step by step guidance:
    http://exchangeshare.wordpress.com/?s=mfcmapi
    We can also perform a clean boot to determine if background programs are interfering with Outlook:

  • Outlook 2013 duplicating emails

    Hey guys, I've recently been having an issue with Outlook 2013 where it duplicates every email in the inbox, but when you scroll through them, the duplicates disappear one by one. This is off an Exchange 2010 account.
    Has anyone else come across this issue before?
    Thanks,
    Evan

    Hi Evan,
    can you reproduce the problem in OWA?
    Have you tried /cleanviews switch? To open Outlook with /cleanviews switch, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
    outlook.exe /cleanviews and press Enter.
    We can also try to navigate to the ost-file and rename it to .old, then restart Outlook to check if it helps.
    If above didn't helps, please try to create a new mail profile in Control Panel and reconfigure your email account in the new profile to check the result.

  • Outlook 2013 sending email using template not working properly...

    I've created several email templates by doing the following:
    open new message
    add some tekst in the body
    save as > oft file
    Now when I open such oft file I add some modifications in the body text and send the message. However, the send item does not contain the modifications I just made, only the text that was included in the template.
    We're using Outlook 2013 SP1 (with all microsoft updates installed) with Exchange 2013 SP1 standalone server. Is this a Outlook or Exchange issue and how can I resolve this?
    Thnx Remco

    Hi Remco,
    Please also try to start Outlook in safe mode and test again to check if this issue continues. To start Outlook in safe mode, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
    outlook /safe and press Enter.
    If problem continues in Outlook safe mode, please try creating a new mail profile and reconfigure your email account, then creating a .oft template to test this issue again. For your convenience:

  • In outlook exchange - redirecting emails to subfolders.

    In outlook exchange I have rules that automatically redirect emails to subfolders.  The problem I am having is that on my Ipad and my iphone new emails do not get shown unless I open each subfolder individually.  This cant be right.  Is there a fix for this?

    Hi,
    What type of email account are you using? If you are using an Exchange or IMAP account, we can login to the web-based interface of your email account to check if we can see the images.
    If we move the email back to Inbox, will it show the images again?
    In addition, we can also try using the Inbox Repair Tool to scan and repair your Outlook data file to see if this issue is due to data file corruption. See:
    http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/272227
    If you are using an Exchange account, we can just rename the .ost file to .old and then restart Outlook to sync a new one. By default, we can find the OST file in:
    C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook
    Please let me know the result.

  • Outlook 2013 change email boxes (views) between different users

    When using outlook 2013 on my workstation, there are several different test accounts that have been setup. However can you show me how to switch between the different email accounts?

    Hi,
    Did you set the different test accounts in same Outlook profile or separate profiles?
    Seems you have setup them in separate profiles, if this is the case, we can switch between different email accounts by changing the Outlook profile. To do this, open
    Control Panel, locate and click Mail (32-bit), then click
    Show Profiles button, switch the profile by changing the
    Always use this profile drop-down menu.
    In addition, we can start Outlook using the /profiles switch to open the
    Choose Profile dialog box each time Outlook opens. To do this, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
    outlook /profiles and press Enter.
    Or, we can use the /profile profilename switch to load the specified profile. If your profile name contains a space, enclose the profile name in quotation marks (" ").
    If I've misunderstood something, please feel free to let me know.

  • Outlook 2013 sent email not reaching destination

    This is a first for me!
    Since early yesterday morning any email sent from Outlook 2013 (pop3) does not reach its destination that includes btinternet addresses.
    Outlook receive works on messages coming from other clients.
    Outlook send appears to work as messages go from Outbox to Sent Mail.
    Test Message in Outlook settings appears to work but no Outlook test message received.
    Email sent from the web client works.
    No PC settings have changed.
    Outlook settings are correct (mail.btinternet.com, etc).
    First line Helpdesk can’t see anything wrong.
    I have the feeling that something has changed in the background with servers or the move.
    Can this be pointed towards second line support?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Can you send and receive with BTMail via webmail?
    If everything on your Outlook account is otherwise working and nothing has changed at your end I would leave it for a day or two to see if it clears itself.  
    The settings for BTMail are here if you want to re-check them.

  • Outlook 2013 IMAP Email Account Setings - What Is The "Mail To Keep Offline" Slider

    I've just set up some IMAP accounts in Outlook 2013 and in POP And IMAP Account Settings there is a sliding control called
    Mail To Keep Offline which is currently set to All.
    I'm a little confused as to what this slider controls and how? Presumably it controls which emails are synced to the server but if for example I set it to 24 months does it mean that all email up to 24 months old is synced to the server or
    all email over 24 months old is synced to the server.
    The lack of help in the product on this is not very good. 

    This new feature is called Data Based Sync Slider. This allows you to limit the amount of data that is synchronized locally to your OST.  The purpose of the slider is to make Outlook usable on devices that have limited or small amounts of local
    storage.  ---- (1/3/6/12/All month)
    If you set it to 24 months, the email up to 24 month would not sync/cache to your local OST file, all old messages would stay at server.

  • Outlook 2013 - Read emails keep switching back to Unread

    I have this weird problem with 2013 Outlook client and Exchange 2010 where on random some of read emails will switch back to unread state. Its very annoying specially when you have executives sending you emails and you can't tell if this is a new one or
    one that you read and took action on.
    Company's desktop support folks say that there is nothing wrong with my exchange account. I told them it has to be my account/maillbox or some setting on exchange as this is happening on two different machines. One is a windows 7 pro laptop, the other one
    is windows 7 pro desktop. both 64bit version of windows but 32bit version of outlook/msoffice 2013.
    I only installed outlook on the desktop to see if my outlook on laptop was the culprit. but since both clients are behaving the same way.. it has to be something on the exchange side.
    Appreciate any help I can get.
    Thanks.
     

    Hi Apple,
    The issue could occur if the sync between the Outlook client and OWA is not completed or the Outlook data file in the Outlook client is corrupted, every time when syncing to OWA, it will change the status back to “Unread”. To narrow down the issue, please
    try the steps below:
    Disconnect all the clients connected to the account except OWA.
    Make the message as read in OWA, then check if the status will be changed back.
    If not, open Outlook, then check if  the status will be synced to Outlook.
    If the status changes to unread again in OWA, it could be related to Outlook.
    In addition, you can also try to re-create outlook profile and check if any helps.
    Best regards,

  • Duplicate Emails - Outlook 2007

    Hi
    We had configured Pop account in Outlook 2007 and set email remove from server after receiving to outlook. Also using BlackBerry Torch Device email. There was no problem with duplicate emails because no email on the mail server. Working both fine
    ( Office Outlook and BB Torch)
    Now we brought BlackBerry Z10 Device. Configured email account on it. If send email from sender first receive it on the BB device and when sync with Outlook all emails deleted from mail server. After deleting mail server it automatically delete from BB device.
    In short we are in trouble in both side. If set delete email after receiving in outlook then unable to see on BB. If want to see all emails on BB need to keep leave copy in outlook and duplicate emails receive problem. it's duplicate email issue
    is occur suddenly it may come after  2 months Or 6 months.
    Is there any connection with size of pst file for duplicate emails? Is there connection with location of pst file ( C:\........ OR different)?
    Please guide us for that we need to do.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Suhas

    Hi,
    Based on the description, if you receive emails on Outlook first, since the emails are removed from the server, you are not able to see the emails on your BlackBerry device. If you receive emails on your BlackBerry device first, you encounter the "Duplicate
    emails" issue.
    Is my understanding correct?
    Please kindly detail what it means by "Duplicate emails", does it mean you receive two same messages on the BlackBerry device?
    Try to re-setup the account on your BlackBerry device and test if you still get duplicate emails.
    If your ISP provides IMAP protocol, we suggest you setup the account via IMAP, which keeps the emails synced on all of your devices.
    For further support about your BlackBerry device, please contact BlackBerry support:
