Previously deleted messages are re-downloaded, not removed from server??

I have a POP email account that I access from my iMac using Mail. I regularly delete mail from my inbox in Mail, so there are only a few hundred messages in the inbox. But the other day I logged onto my mail account via the web and discovered thousands of my previously deleted messages still in my inbox on the server. I opened Mail Preferences and discovered that the checkbox "Remove mail from Server ... when I move it from my inbox" was not checked, so I checked that box. However, I figured that would only cause future messages that are removed form my inbox to be removed from the server, but would not do anything about the thousands of previously deleted messages that were still on the server. So I also clicked the button labeled "Remove Now". I figured that would cause Mail to tell the server to remove all the old messages on the server that had previously been removed from the local Mail inbox.
The next day I discovered that thousands of old messages I had already deleted (many of them long ago) had mysteriously reappeared in my Mail inbox. And of course, checking the account via the web, I discovered they were still on the server too. What did I do wrong? I thought Mail would tell the server to delete all those old messages. Instead it seems to have told the server to download them all to my Mail inbox again, the exact opposite of what I intended. I don't know if this is a disconnect between the Mac Mail client and the mail server, or if I misunderstood the purpose of these options in the Mail preferences dialog.

Hello,
I have never tried this exact action, but I think the Remove Now will not do much, with When Moved from the Inbox. This would require the action of removing the message, after this setting has been changed. I don't think it would remove any previously moved from the Inbox, because no check to correlate the current contents of Inbox to a POP account.
Does this make sense, to you?
However, there would appear to be some corruption in the file to prevent duplicate downloads, or messages previously downloaded.
In Mail 2.x, Apple introduced a way to look a the server, of even POP accounts. To do this, control-click on any inbox or any mailbox, and choose Get Info. Once the dialogue window is presented, and if you have more than one account, choose the account, and you can not observe the server contents, but also choose and delete individual messages.
Keep us posted about future behavior.

Purchased book "The Fish That Ate The Whale". In the Purchased window, my previous purchased books are labeled "downloaded" but The Fish has a cloud ikon and will not download. I have tried to delete the book but no response.
Redirected to Store and searched for The Fish. Description came up, pressed Download, message: you have previously purchased this book, go to Purchased and press Download. Followed instructions and message: you have previously purchased....... I'm in a loop.

Hi there.
Thank you very much for your quick reply, it's really appreciated.
No need to apologize, I actually found the phrase "If your iPad ever craps the bed" amusing under the circumstances
I checked the list of installed apps like you suggested (Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Show all apps) but this problem app is not in the list. I have also swiped down on the home screen to search for it, but again it does not show.
While it has not let me download the app (and I just tried it again) it has helped me to eliminate a few things from the list of what to try, and I can definitely conclude that it has not downloaded.
I guess I need to fire up my PC and download it / sync my iPad.
Thanks again for your help

After deleting users they are not removed from portal30.wwsec_person

I am building a customized script to carry on users self registration.
the script is going great and user is created and i can log into portal
successfully with this new created user.
I relogin as portal administrator and delete this new user and now if i tried
to list portal users I cant see the user.
But when I try to rerun my script to recreate this user again it fails when I
investigated I found that it fails because the entry of this user is removed
from portal30_sso.wwsec_person while it still exists in portal30.wwsec_person
so the script fails as there is duplicate in primary key.
Is this a bug in portal 309 that when the user is deleted it is not removed
from portal30.wwsec_person

This is actually a combination of intended behavior/design and a bug.
Let me first explain why there is a user in both the PORTAL30_SSO schema as well as the PORTAL30 schema.
The definition of the user, that can log in, and defines the single sign-on account, is the user's entry in the
WWSEC_PERSON$ table in the PORTAL30_SSO schema. The SSO server actually just uses a subset of the
columns in this table -- those defined in the WWSSO_SSO_USER view.
The same table exists in the PORTAL30 schema, because there is a lot of common infrastructure code
shared by both applications (Login Server, and Portal). The Security and Session Management code
is common, and this code includes the dependency on the WWSEC_PERSON$ table.
Now, assuming that the code was independent (for the sake of argument), why do we still have an entry
for the user in both schemas? As I mentioned earlier, the user entry in the SSO schema is the "master".
The SSO server can have multiple partner applications connected to it. Indeed, on my.oracle.com, the
login server there has at least 4 portals hooked up to it, and a few other non-Portal partner applications,
such as Oracle Mobile.
Each partner application may have a local user profile that it uses to store application specific attributes
of the user. This is stuff that the Login Server is not interested in, and could in no way predetermine for
all conceivable partner applications. So, it is not unreasonable for each partner application to also have
a user record which stores additional attributes of the user (not related to user authentication), and which
can be used to reference other user-related data. For example in the Portal, all the user's privileges
and group memberships are tied to the Portal's user record (foreign key constraints). So, the Portal
being just one partner application of the Login Server, it adhere's to this model and has a user entry
in it's schema corresponding to the user entry in the Login Server.
When a user logs on and accesses a partner application for the first time, the partner application (read Portal)
is expected to automatically create a local profile entry for the user on demand. The Portal does this.
In 3.0.9 and previous versions, to delete a user, you need to delete the user in the Login Server AND the Portal.
The only way to do this is to first delete the user in the Login Server, using the User Portlet.
Then type the user's name into the Portal User Profile portlet (they won't be in the LOV anymore since
you just deleted them from the login server), and click Edit, then Reset To Defaults (this means delete).
You will then get a User Not Found error, since the page is trying to go back to show the details about this user.
(All this has been fixed in 9.0.2 v2, by the way).

Hey rbrylawski, just wanted to let you know that my ipad email problems have been solved. Called Apple Sup in OZ, I'm in NZ. Daniel Barber was the support tech from heaven!! I was about to return the ipad but solving this issue reset my faith in phone support.....perhaps until I call a differnet companys phone support eh? Anyhow, for reference the fix is below. My accounts are all POP not IMAP, and the primary smtp server setting had defaulted to have SSL switched on and the port was set to 5XX (something, cant remember). Anyhow, SSL was switched off and the port was swithced to 25. VOILÀ!! Settings/Mail, contacts, calendars/My POP mail account/smtp/primary server/ >>> server on, no username and password, use SSL off, no authentication, Server Port 25 Thanks for having a crack at it. This might help when assisting another user. Cheers Tonino

Deleted attachments are not removed from Content Server

We have setup Content Server to store business documents and create attachments in documents in CO. Both types are stored ok and can be opened without any problems. After deleting them though, they disappear from the Attachment List but when looking in CS, attachments created on the document still exist in CS. Stored business documents on the other hand are removed properly.
Looking at statistics in CSADMIN shows that the deletion of the created attachment does not increment the "delete" counter.
Any ideas on why the created attachments are not removed from CS upon deletion?
Thanks

We have solved this issue now. By design, the attachments are not removed directly from the content server upon deletion; Instead you will need to run report RSBCS_REORG to completely remove them from the Content Server.

I have an iPad 2 and receive e-mail through internet connection. When I delete e-mails, and clear my Trash folder, they re-appear. Setting are for remove from server when moved from Inbox. Any idea what I can do to actually delete them?

I have an iPad 2 and receive e-mail through regular internet connection. Lately, when I delete e-mails, and clear my Trash folder, they re-appear, downloaded anew from the server and marked as unread. My e-mail Advanced Settings are selected for "Remove from server when moved from Inbox." Even when I access the e-mail accountfrom my desktop and delete the e-mails, the re-appear on my iPad. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this and what I can do to actually delete them?

Sounds like you are looking in the wrong Administrative Group container which is why you are seeing your Exchange 2010 servers in there.
When you install Exchange 2003 only you will see a container named by default as "CN=First Administrative Group" container. But this could be named anything if you changed the Organization Name on the installation when you installed the first
Exchange 2003 server into the domain/forest.
You will notice that when you install Exchange 2010 part of the AD setup is to create a new configuration container and is named by default "CN=First Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)".
So it sounds like you are not looking in the right location within ADSIEdit.
You may find the following article also helpful for this issue which is the same resolution:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2012/05/17/empty-cn-servers-container-causing-issues-with-public-folders-on-small-business-server-2011.aspx
I recommend though that you ensure your Exchange 2003 servers are fully uninstalled or no longer present in your environment before you go deleting the Servers container though.. The following Microsoft article will help with this:

Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmyrmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
You generally have to reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
You may be advised by others to try to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name, or by running "utilities" that purport to remove software. I don't give such advice. Those tactics often will not work and maymake the problem worse.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select anyiTunesentries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

No, you can stop using the account, but you cannot delete it.

PO Approval Items Workitems are not removed from the Universal Worklist UWL

Hi,
Certain of our purchase orders require approval, they are sent to the relevant approver via workflow to their SAP inbox (SBWP) and universal worklist.
When the user executes the workitem (Approve or Reject) The workitem should be removed from the universal worklist and SBWP when refreshed.
The problem we experiencing is that the Workitems are not removed from the UWL after they have been executed. The SBWP is behaving correctly and the items are removed.
It is not all the workitems that have this problem, only certain ones - but there is no pattern.
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
The user B approved the PR accessing the transaction SBWP or via PR transaction directly?
If via PR transaction directly, then your workflow needs a Wait Event step.
Regards,
Kleber

Long time ago I trialed elements 9 and could not remove from Programs; still can't

Long time ago I trialed Elements 9 and could not remove from Programs at the time; still can't?
I didn't go forward with '9' because of its size and it didn't appear to provide advantages for the cost.
How do I uninstall it when conventional methods fail. Message received in Windows Installer is, ' The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.' Elements 9 cannot be used.

" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

Previously deleted messages are re-downloaded, not removed from server??
