Receiving dozens of the same email, only in Thunderbird

A few days ago, one email newsletter that I get daily went bonkers and downloaded over 20 copies in Thunderbird. Next day, same thing.
I tried unsubscribing from the list, but they kept coming. I have already deleted 20 or more today. Every time I go in TB, one to a dozen more appear. This happened when I log in to Outlook direct, or on my iPad. I did contact the support at the newsletter, but since it is only in TB, it seems to be a TB problem.
How can I make this stop?

If the additional duplicate emails are actually being received on the server as newly received emails then they will get downloaded, in which case it is not a Thunderbird problem.
However, if these duplciate emails are deleted emails that are being resurrected - not downloaded, then it sounds like you have not been compacting folders to remove all marked as deleted mail.
Info on compacting:

So try this:
* File > Compact Folders

I keep receiving two of the same email

I keep getting two copies of each email received

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!!
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
2) Delete and Resend Service Books
KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you!

HT1534 Why do I receive 2 copies of the same email in entourage?

I have just upgraded to OS X 10.9 and I just converged my Outlook email with Entourage and now I am receiving two of the same email in my Entourage inbox... how do I fix this?

do you have your mail account setup more than once on your phone?
If not it may be that you are set up with your gmail account with push and a new msg to the server is being triggered by another device.....
Try this fix: under Settings>Mail,Contacts>email address>Account> change the server to m.google.com that will make the emails arrive instantly without push. (just like a blackberry) and should eliminate the duplicate emails.
Good luck

Can 2 people in different locations at the same time import, access, send, and receive the same messages from the same email account

I import messages into Thunderbird. I send and receive emails. One of the things I like about Thunderbird is that I can insert (image, link, etc) right where I want to, and I can Attach. But not just a simple attach file. No, I can also click Attach and choose Webpage. A lot of web-based emails are plain, simple, no frills - Attach file and that's it.
So I need to have my client be able to do the same thing I do when sending out emails, Namely sending out emails with an Electronic Press Kit (EPK) attached - which is to say, a webpage (not a pdf in our case). So, I need her to download, install, and use Thunderbird.
Here's the problem and my question. She needs to access, send, and receive from my email account. That would be easy if it was simple attach files - she could just login on the web, go to squirrel mail and bang it out.. Here it is: She needs to be able to import the messages to be able to reply to some messages - she needs access to what I have access to. She needs to use Thunderbird so she can take advantage of the features like insert image with link or attaching a webpage. My question is how will this affect my use? Can 2 people simultaneously and from different locations access and use the same email account or is it a case where her importing the emails would cut me off..Is it an either or thing? Basically, can her and I both import the emails or can they only be imported to one location at a time. Because every time someone sends me an email i get it right there on my Thunderbird application..it's imported to my Thunderbird..I want her and I to be able to do that without affecting each other. I don't want her to start importing to her desktop and then I can no longer import. If she says "point those messages to my computer what will happen to my ability to access them on my computer in the same manner I am currently?

I think there is a contradiction in your requirements. You want two people to share an account and you don't want either to interfere with the other.
The short and simple answer is to use IMAP to connect to the mail server. If your current email provider doesn't offer IMAP, find another that does. This is old technology already and it's disgraceful that some email providers haven't yet put it in place.
IMAP means that your messages are stored on the server and both of you will see exactly the same set of messages. And therein lies the contradiction; you will both see changes made by the other so you are inherently interfering with one another.
Caveats: some providers may not permit you both to access the account concurrently, and even if they do, things may become interesting if you both choose to work on the same message simultaneously.
Note that all of this is about email servers and protocols; your choice of Thunderbird as your email client has little bearing on the situation.

If you need assistance with finding any of your restores or attempting to restore from any that happened prior to his incident follow this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
IF you do find a backup that has your contacts; I'd /highly/ recommand turning off your wifi network after the restore is finished because if the issue is with your iCloud your contacts may merge back with her's.
With iCloud you DO NOT want to share the account; bad things happen Evil evil thigns...
But in all seriousness; if two devices have the same iCloud; iCloud is told to merge and sync infomation between hte two and can't tell that it doesn't belong to the same person

My husband and I both have email accounts on my iMac using Mavericks. Often we both receive an the same emails. If one of us opens the email on their account it automatically considers the email as read on both accounts. I would like to change this.

My husband and I both have email accounts on my iMac using Mavericks. Often we receive the same emails. Now when one of us opens an email that has been sent to both of us, Mavericks considers the email as read on both accounts. Mountain Lion did not operate this way. Can I change this? Thanks

By the sounds of it you have linked Email Accounts, if so this means that you will both recieve the majority of the same Emails, and if you do and you read them on your account (which is linked with your husbands) then they will appear to read on the both of them because they are linked. With the majority of Email providers these days they're Emails are (simplified) in the cloud you could say, meaning that if you read or delete shared Emails then it will do the same on both accounts rather than just the yours.
I hope all that made sense, sorry that I couldn't be of anymore assistance.. If you havent already try googling your problem - you may find some answers on there

I can only see three weeks of emails on the imap email account on my iMac even though the same email address set up as a pop account on my iPhone, iPad and another iMac show all my emails. How do I change the setting to see more emails?

I have two iMacs, an iPhone, and an iPad. All use the same email address but the new iMac would only let me set up the email account as an imap account. On this iMac I can only see three weeks worth of emails. On the other iMac, iPhone, and iPad, this email address is set up as a pop account and I can see emails as far back as three years. I use Yosemite on the new iMac and I cannot find out how to change the settings to let me see more than three weeks worth of emails. This is an att&t email account which is basically a Yahoo account.

Nope. It will reset all settings. For fix errors.
Or you can try Logging out and Restart your iPad and Sign in again.

While composing emails, either a new email or replying to a received email, multiple partial versions of the same email appear in trash folder. For a lengthy email, e.g. 2 pgs. I may have as many as 100 partial versions of that email appear in trash.

The Mac has 2 profiles. When composing an email in mail (gmail account), multiple versions of the same email appear in trash as you are composing the email. Does not appear to be any specific attributes which trigger this. When email is sent. The entire email appears in sent folder, while you still have multiple versions in trash. This same thing occurs if you create and save a draft email.
This only occurs on one of the two profiles. Both profiles are administrators. But this is the secondary profile.
We have compared all settings on the Mac for both profiles, gmail online, etc.
Anyone have any ideas?

Ick. So it can't just work sensibly? Sensible would be either autosave overwrites previously autosaved versions or all autosaved versions would be deleted when the message is finally sent. Allowing previous message versions to accumulate endlessly might be beneficial to someone, but does not seem like sensible default behavior.

My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID. We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another.

My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID. We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another. Is the cause of this because we share the same Apple ID? Will we have to set up 2 separate primary email addresses to be able to send and receive Tex Messages to one another? Like I said, we share the same email address and woul like to keep it that way to keep up with our email together. Is there a way to by-pass having to set up 2 primary emaill addresses if this is the problem?
Thanks.

go to the settings and turn off imessage
but that don't change the issue that you will never be able to facetime eachtoher
the appleID is really meant as the handle that identify you it was not meant to be shared
but can see that people may want to do not buy apps more then once

I have an imac with IMAP email. have managed to partially sync up my ipad in that I can receive the same emails that appear on my imac but I can't send from my ipad. Any ideas?

That sounds like a settings issue to me. Check with your IT depatment to make sure you have it configured properly.

I'm among about 140 people who received the same email. I want to include all of those addresses in a new group. Is it possible to create the group without having to manually enter each of the 140 addresses?

Hi SDGNOM,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to export list to Excel with all columns in your SharePoint.
For the SharePoint RPC protocol method, SharePoint export to excel will take the list id as well as the view id. So we cannot export list to Excel with all the columns without having to depend on the fields
chosen in the default view.
Reference:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms478653.aspx
For a workaround, you can achieve your demand via PowerShell. Here is a template you can refer to:
Param(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$True)]
[string]$webUrl,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$True)]
[string]$outPath
$web = Get-SPWeb $webUrl
write-host ("Path: " + $outPath)
foreach($list in $web.Lists)
$exportlist = $null
$exportlist = @()
$list.Items | foreach {
$hash = $null
$hash = @{}
foreach($fld in $_.Fields ){
Try {
$hash.add($fld.Title, $_[$fld.Title])
Catch [System.Management.Automation.MethodInvocationException]
# Eating an error caused by duplicate column names.
Finally
#"End"
write-host ("Exported: " + $_.Title)
$obj = New-Object PSObject -Property $hash #@{
$exportlist += $obj
$expath = $outPath + '\' + $list.Title + '.csv'
$exportlist | Export-Csv -path $expath #$oPath

Why, with iCloud, do we continue receiving the same email on multiple computers?

Why, with iCloud, do we continue receiving the same email on multiple computers? Is there a way of stopping this?

If those multiple computers are all setup to use the same iCloud account, then it is working exactly as intended. That's what iCloud does. Keeps your email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, tasks etc. in sync across all devices/computers that the same iCloud account is setup on.
If you want independent email on each device/computer, you need to setup independent email accounts for each device/computer.

An icloud account is designed to be used by one user. That user can have all his/her devices synced with the same Apple data (email, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc.) . When two people use the same account, then problems usually occur when one user edits data that the other user doesn't want changed on their device. You can continue sharing the same ID for the itunes account in order to share the purchased music, apps, etc. itunes accounts and icloud accounts are different.
It's by far better that each user has his/her own icloud account.
