POP mail account is downloading the same files over and over.

I'm using mail 4.5 and 10.6.8.  The only way to correct this issue has been to set the prefrences to remove from server immediately.  But when I do this I can no longer download these messages to my iphone or ipad.  This was not a problem before. Thanks for any help.

It sounds as though the file that prevents this in normal operation may have gotten corrupted.  Quit Mail, and in the Finder open Home/Library/Mail and locate the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3 file, and drag it out to the Desktop (for later deletion).  Relaunch Mail, and although any message remaining on the server will downloaded one more time, it should cure the problem going forward.

  • How can i prevent mail from downloading the same messages over and over again?

    is there any way to prevent Mail from downloading the same messages over and over again? Mail has a minimum of "50 recent messages" to download, but i hate having to delete them every time i check for new mail! why doesn't the program remember if you have already downloaded a message, and suppress any subsequent downloads???

    Same issue since Mavericks.

  • Blackberry 8520 keeps repeatedly downloading the same email messages and facebook notifications

    My Blackberry 8520 has all of a sudden started downloading the same email addresses and facebook notifications, that I have already read, I tried deleting them totally and also deleted from my computer inbox, but it just downloaded the next lot in my inbox repeatedly instead.  Sometimes it says I have 50 unread messages, which is the same 7 or 8 messages over and over again, showing as unread. 
    I have rebooted device several times and don't know what else to do now, can anyone help please?
    Thanks very much

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    Have you changed the settings for messages on your account on the providers website?
    (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.)
    If that's not it try the following:
    Go to options advanced options, Host Routing Tables, click to enter. DO NOT click on any listing.
    Press menu key, and select register now.
    You will get a verification message. Then go to email settings and send service books.
    I would suggest  logging into the carriers BIS site via PC if you can.
    You will get an email per account. Repeat the battery pull and see if the problem is
    resolved.
    Let us know how it goes!
    Thanks,

  • Thunderbird is locking up on a message and I have to delete it on Bellsouth otherwise it will download the same email over and over. How do I fix?

    It started a couple of weeks ago. I noticed one email being downloaded several times. After checking a lot of things I deleted the e-mail on Bellsouth and Thunderbird then downloaded all of my e-mails. Over time it has started to do this several times in one batch of e-mails. The downloading bar will say it's down loading 1 (or whatever the number is) of say 71 messages. It may download 1 or more then it stops downloading. I go into Bellsouth and delete the last message downloaded and hit Get Mail in Thunderbird to start the process over.
    If I don't delete the last e-mail downloaded when I hit Get Mail Thunderbird will download the same e-mail again and stop. Some times it will start a download and work for an extended time and then stop the download without downloading a single e-mail.

    That sounds like an anti virus choking on a mail. Norton is fond of doing this, but it is not alone.
    Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]
    If your mail download in this safe mode then look to your anti virus and disable email scanning.

  • HT5624 My husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password.  Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts.  How can we stop this happening?

    My husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password.  Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts.  How can we stop this happening?

    A couple of different approached:
    Create a second AppleID for one of you that includes the email address and phone number you wish to use for messaging, but do not apply it to the iTunes and app store (just keep the current one). My wife and I do this and it works quite well. Also allows for easier syncing of Contacts , notes etc. using icloud if you wish to do that.
    Add additional emails/phone numbers to the existing account and change the Send/Receive settings for Messages. this will not fix the Contcts isues for you however.

  • I can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name

    can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name. My original external has an error and needs to be reformatted but I dont want to lose this informations its my entire Itunes library.

    Sounds like the source drive is formatted as case sensitive and the destination drive is not. The preferred format for OS X is case insensitive unless there is a compelling reason to go case sensitive.
    Why can't you change the filename? Is it because the source drive is having problems?  If so is this happening with only one or two or a few files? If so the best thing would be to copy those over individually and then rename them on the destination drive.
    If it is more then you can do manually and you can't change the name on the source you will have to reformat the destination as case sensitive.
    Btw this group is for discussion of the Support Communities itself, you;d do better posting to Lion group. I'll see if a host will move it.

  • TS3276 how do I get Mail to stop downloading the same email multiple times?

    My mail keeps downloading the same email multiple times.  I've had as many as 10 of the same emial.  How do I stop this?

    Me too - did you ever figure it out?
    You can't even delete from the server in mountain lion.... I did it from my old mac, but it didn't work. I keep having 11,000 new emails that can not even be deleted in blocks!!!
    Was it a gmail account? Mine is, and my other 2 are fine...

  • Itunes keeps downloading the same songs over and over again on a shared library

    I have a share library on a NAS box, and until now, little problem. But now, iTunes keeps downloading the same songs etc, when I go to another PC, even though the library is shared between the other PC, is the same.
    Plus, iTunes repeatably asks for my Password to log in, even though it is correct.
    Share Library on NAS box, mapped drive paths to drive letters.
    Keeps re-downloading songs and podcasts I all ready have on the NAS box, if I open iTunes on different computer.
    This is new behaviour. Has not happend like this till today.
    Keeps asking for my iTunes ID and Password, over and over again, evertime I run iTunes, or my iPod.
    Thanks in advance.

    Adriana,
    If your .mac account is set to be type .mac (don't laugh, it can be set to be POP, or IMAP), it functions essentially like an IMAP. As a .mac, the Inbox is actually on the server, and when you display the Inbox, you are displaying everything on the server. Any downloading you observe is purely for purposes of display, according to what selections you have made in Mail Preferences. What you report seems perfectly normal, for a .mac account, and for an IMAP account.
    Often an exchange account is also an IMAP account, and thus the behavior would seem normal for that type of account.
    Again the Inbox is on the Server, and not on your Mac. Do not confuse this with selecting to Keep copies for Offline viewing -- those copies are refreshed from the server whenever you sign on.
    Neither a .mac nor IMAP account folder will contain a MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded file . However, your POP folder should have such a file or two, to control duplicate downloads of messages remaining on the server -- POP was originally designed to remove upon download, but now that many people use more than one computer, it is logical to sometimes leave messages on the server to be download onto other computers.
    In the Finder, open Home/Library/Mail and look for a folder named to begin with POP and including the server and/or email address in the name. If there is not a POP folder, then the account has NOT been set up to be something other than POP. If there is a POP folder, it should contain the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded.
    More info, please.

  • Fail to download file with explorer 10 while explorer 9 and other browsers succeed to download the same file

    I try to download file from management website of switch device. The file size is 11.66K.
    The webserver is GoAhead, OS is windows7 and explorer version is 10 (it also happens with explorer 11). The server is using Transfer-Encoding: chunked.
    After I download the file, I get pop-up message from the browser “Do you want to open or save running-config.txt from 1.1.1.11?”
    If I press the save/open button I get message “running-config .txt couldn’t be downloaded”. If I press the retry button the file is downloaded successfully.
    When I used meddler to debug the problem, it didn’t occur and the file was downloaded successfully.
    I took capture of successful download (with meddler debugger) and  another capture of download that raised “couldn’t be downloaded” message, but I didn’t see any difference between the requests and the responses. I also made sure the last chunk
    “0” was not missing in the response and it wasn’t.
    Please note, I also tried many suggestions given to other users that reported similar problem – restart explorer, remove add-ons, etc – nothing worked!
    Please help.

    Hi,
    Did  this issue occur on when you download file from other website?
    This problem occurs if the Do not save encrypted pages to disk option in Internet Explorer is selected.
    To fix this issue, try these methods:
    Methods 1
    On the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, click Internet Options, click the
    Advanced tab, click to clear the check mark from the Do not save encrypted pages to disk check box in the
    Security area, and then click OK. (This is the default Internet Explorer setting.)
    Methods 2
    1.Start Registry Editor.
    2.For a per-user setting, locate the following registry key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
    For a per-computer setting, locate the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
    3.On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following value:
    "BypassSSLNoCacheCheck"=Dword:00000001
    4.Exit Registry Editor

  • HT204053 Can two different icloud accounts used for the same mac computer and same Itunes account still transfer photos and downloaded apps to all devices associated with that mac?

    I purchased my wife an Iphone and we currently use the same icloud account, but we just ran out of storage. I'm not sure if we need so much more space that I'm ready to upgrade to 15 total GB of storage. If my wife sets up her own icloud account for her iphone will she and I still be able to share our photos, downloaded apps and music with different icloud accounts?

    Apps and music aren't anything to do with your iCloud account, indeed you can use different ID's for each.
    If you create and use another ID for iCloud, you will not be able to share both photostreams to the same user account on the computer.
    This could be worked around with a second user account on the computer for the second user to do all their computing in. However you may find that photostreams shared albums will work around the problem for you. For example if you create a shared album and share it with your partner, any photos you add to that album will be available in your partners photostream on the computer.

  • I recently upgraded to iOS7 on my iPhone 4s.  My pop mail account is downloading all of the emails on my server instead of allowing me to specify how many I want to see.  How do I set that now?

    I now have 12,000 unread messages on my iPhone 4s.  it used to be that i could specify how many it would download.  That option seems to be missing.  I tried edit the emails, selecting them all and then marking them as read.  Their status updated (no blue dot), but the mail app still lists those emails as unread.  It's a little disorienting to see a red number on my mail app indicating i have over 12,000 unread emails.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Other is usually around 1 GB...
    A  ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
    First Try a Restore from Backup...
    But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup...
    Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

  • How to have 2 G-mail accounts open at the same time?

    I have 2 Gmail accounts and I'd like to have both open concurrently, but I can't seem to do that.  It keeps defaulting to the Gmail that's already open.  Do I need to open a separate Safari?  If so, how, because I can't seem to do that either.

    You can use a "modifier" (Control, Alt, Shift) key in combination with a regular key, but you can't combine regular keys unless you add some custom logic.
    Basically in the keyPressed event you need to store the previous key that was pressed and add some comparison logic to see if the two keys you are monitoring where pressed back to back.
