Please help! Mail is freaking out on me!

Mail is downloading thousands of messages into my inbox, i think it's old emails from my yahoo account (the email service i use), but normally in my in-box i have about 100 messages. they keep coming and won't stop, even when i quit mail and go back in, they keep coming. Each message seems to be coming in multiple times. Also, i am not receiving new messages. anyone know what i can do?

And what are all those messages doing on the server? What are your Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server settings? If you leave the messages on the server indefinitely, Mail may eventually end up losing track of which messages have already been downloaded, maybe as a result of some changes made at the server.
I don’t think you’ll be able to fix this problem without moving a significant amount of messages out of the server’s inbox. You may tell Mail to remove from the server all the messages that have already been downloaded by means of Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove now. Alternatively, you may use the Account Info window to remove specific messages from the server — choose Get Info (⌘I) from the Action menu (gear icon) located below the mailbox list in the main Mail window.
If the account allows web access, however, it may be preferable to remove the messages from the server that way, or at the very least move the messages to other server-stored mailboxes if the server provides that functionality via webmail.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

  • Multiple problems, please help, I am freaking out.

    Hey, so I've been waiting to get  new ipod since the day the 5th gen was released. So yesterday, I go and I buy a brand new, in box, slate 5th gen off of craigslist. Problem is, I have no reciept, but it is still under warranty.
    Now, for the devastating event that took place today:
    So, while using the loop and taking a picture, the ipod slipped out of my hand. Luckily, the loop saved its life! Until it fell.  The ipod on the ground, face down, with the loop sliding down my arm. The loop had slipped off of the button.
    Now, there is a tiny little crack in the top right corner of my screen, and I am horrified to ever use the loop again. The crack does not get in my way too much, but it is just extremely upsetting since I bought it brand new, last night. 
    Would this be considered a defect, since the loop that came with the ipod, from apple, failed to work to its design? Or is it possible that there is a defect in the loop button? I have an appointment at the genius bar tomorrow, is it even worth going?

    I di not understand that happened. I would make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store and make your case..

  • Please help me to come out of this dilemma.

    Hi
    I am in dilemma.
    Recently i have joined a new organization which is a world leader in its field . The company name is very popular around the globe. But the thing is its almost 4 months , and as an Oracle DBA , i am not getting chance to work on something interesting / challenging . The thing is , i studied the environment here and i think most of my work involves only preparing DB docs , attending meeting and raising support tickets once a while. So very minimal technical work.
    To be honest, in last 4 years of my career i haven't worked in such a large organization before so during interview i didn't ask for type of work ,and i just wanted to join this organization as it will have a dramatic impact when i mention the name in my resume . I do not want to quit this organization so early because it will have a bad impression . Also , i think speaking to my bosses will not work because they cant help it in any way .
    I am happy with every thing else here , but i want to leave this company for doing something challenging as an Oracle DBA , but want to stay here because every thing else is damn good and also when i switch to a new company after 2 years , people will be dying to hire me ;) , am i contradicting ?
    Please help me to come out of this dilemma.
    Thanks

    Well, joining a big company from a small company and then leaving it just in few days would actually backfire. Next hiring people would think that since you were in capable to handle the workload in a big company(because you never worked in such environment before), you were thrown out. You won't be able to justify your reason that you left because you didnt' find enough challenge there because it can be completely blown away by a simple counter that how did you know that there was no challenging work there as you never stayed there even for a year too! So IMO, you would do more harm for you than anything good be quitting now. Its a mistake not to ask about the work but you have committed it already . What you should n't do is to do add another one and that is to leave the company now.
    Since you are not having much work, why don't you use it learn more about the company, its various works, other divisons and above all, to learn oracle database in your spare time. There is no place where you would be given challenges for your sake. If there is work it would come to you else you would be remaining free. You are working as a normal dba I believe not in support or something like that for you, every time, a new issue ticket is ready. If you have spare time with you, use it wisely to understand how things are working , both in your organization and with oralce db. Spend time doing trainings and learn more about the product, complete at least and then leave.
    Just my 2 cents.

    The enter key is not working in firefox but it has working fine in chrome and IE so please help me to rid out from this.

    Hello gokulaan, '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

    Hi, nportillo,
    The next time you attempt to reach Skype Customer Service, try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented.  Do not choose the obvious - you have already established that path is not working.  Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also impede reaching an agent.
    Skype is aware of problems reaching their customer service unit via the website, however people are getting through.  I have flagged your report for follow-up by those to whom I report.
    Regards,
    Elaine

    upgraded to lion on my 2009 summer macbook pro, now no memory left. something is screwy ...please help an old lady out..

    By memory, do you mean space on your hard disk?
    If so, here is one resource:
    Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk
    Or do you really mean memory - i.e,, RAM?
    In any case, what occurs that makes you think your "memory" is gone?

  • I am asking this for my friend, who was using iphone 4. He lost it one week back and couldnt find it so far. He is having his IMEA number of the phone. Could you please help me in tracing out this?

    I am asking this for my friend, who was using iphone 4. He lost it one week back and couldnt find it so far. He is having his IMEA number of the phone. Could you please help me in tracing out this?

    If he has not previously set up Find My iPhone, there is no way to
    track the iPhone. Apple does not and will not track phones.
    Immediately change all passwords. Hopefully he was using a passcode
    to get by the lock screen. If he was, his data is protected; if not, anyone
    who finds the iPhone can access anything that was on it.

  • HT202159 I am unable to download and always asking password after entering the password  also asking same question please help  me to sort out  this problem.

    I am unable to download and always asking the password it's ok for the once and it's asking more and no results only repeating the same so I am unable to download please help me to sort out this problem and my request please sort out from your side  or let me guide .

    Thanks Eric for responding.
    I checked and it does not appear in the Applications folder.
    I tried yesterday on an ethernet connection with a download speed of 2 Mbps but, unfortunately the connection died(It happened from the ISP end, which is out of my control) in between after which there was no trace of the download that happened for so long(till the internet connection death). 
    One more serious query which I am unable to understand. If the internet connection, dies in the midst of the download is in progress why is it so that the state does not persist and one has to restart the entire process again. Is there no solution for this?
    I tried so many times and its the same case after some amount of download it vanishes. So many unsuccessful attempts. I am ****** off now. Is it not possible to see Mavericks? Why does different machines of Apple behave differently? Somewhere it goes smoothly and somewhere like my mine. Why did not Apple release a non apple store version? Is this not a bad sign of letting the users struggle when something is being offered for free?
    The reason I asked as whether we can download the .app of Mavericks is that, there are so many applications that I have downloaded web and have installed. All that works fine. Can't we do the same here? You download a copy of Mavericks installer application and upload it for me in Google drive or like online storage places which can be downloaded and used by me? Help me understand.
    Thanks again.

    Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. If the iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode, then Restore the Firmware. If not recognized, then hold both Home and Power Buttons until the iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the iPhone Firmware.
