Receiving duplicate Gmail messages (IMAP)

When receiving messages from my Gmail account in Mail, I receive duplicates. One copy is at the top of the left-hand column under the heading "Inbox." the other is on the bottom of the same column under "Gmail>All Mail." So, when I receive an email, I get the notification that I've two unread messages in my account.
Also, when I receive messages that go straight to the "Spam" folder through Gmail, I receive a notification that Mail has received a new message. In other words, I wake up every day to 15 messages. But 14 of those so happen to be spam.
Can someone help me with adjusting the settings for the issues I've listed above?

I asked this question in the Google help forums and got this ANSWER (which WORKS!):
"You can hide All Mail from Apple Mail and other IMAP clients, if you enable the Advanced IMAP Controls lab."

Receiving duplicate 'Sent' messages in Inbox

When I send a message via iPhone a copy is saved in my 'Sent' box. However, a few minutes later I receive the same message in my Inbox from myself (even though I addresses it TO someone else). It's frustrating receiving a duplicate from myself.... Does anyone know how to fix this?

I saw this on another thread... If you want to keep the Recent Mode ON - you can add a filter on your gmail account to send all mail FROM you to the trash.

Receive instant gmail messages

I've read that Yahoo has an instant push application for receiving emails. I have a gmail account, and I have to constantly press my mail folder to get new messages. Is they something I can do to receive instant email messages?
Thanks

Push access for received messages is supported with the following email accounts.
An Exchange account accessed via ActiveSync.
A Yahoo account created with the Yahoo account preset.
A MobileMe account.
A Gmail account can be accessed as a POP, IMAP, or Exchange account with the iPhone's Mail app. Visit Google/Gmail's website for creating and accessing the account as an Exchange account with the iPhone's Mail app, or do a Google search for this. Accessing the account as an Exchange account also provides the ability to sync your Google online contacts and calendar events over the air with the account on your iPhone.

Receiving duplicate SMS messages

I am using the Sprint Blackberry 8830 WE in Berlin, Germany using a pre-paid Vodafone SIM card. When I receive an SMS, I get the same SMS message multiple times at regular time intervals: At first the messages are close together (1-2 minutes apart), then they're hourly, then daily. Since I send SMS with multiple people, I'm bombarded with SMS messages throughout the day and night.
I've used this phone in Vietnam and did not have this problem.
I suspect that the phone carrier is not getting a confirmation that the SMS was received so it tries again, but I'm not sure. Is there any configuration setting I should look out for?

By default all the email messages will arrive in your Messages folder as well as the designated email folder. This is not duplicate emails and it's not consuming any additional memory in your device.

Duplicate Text Messages - Pantech Crux

Hello, I began receiving duplicate text messages once I upgraded to a Pantech Crux. The duplicates are not labeled *duplicate message* like others, rather they are just received about 30 seconds after the original.
This happens regardless of sender but does not always happen. It will also happen regardless of whether or not I read the first message before the duplicate arrives.
Is there any solution to this? Will I be charged for all the duplicates?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Brandon

Are you still receiving duplicate txt msgs? I've been having the same issue since May and I keep getting the run around. My husband and I have the same phones and first they told me they had to do a "network" update that was supposed to take place on June 27. I've still been receiving them. I called again last friday and the gentleman from tech support told me to do a device software update on my phone. I did that and I'm still getting double txts! Very frustrating!!! I've called around 7-8 times! Not getting anywhere with my problem! During the month of July I had gone over my txt limit and the lady I talked to gave me a higher text package and wasn't going to charge me the difference. But when she did that she canceled my text messaging package and I got billed $180 for text messaging! Not very happy with Verizon right now! We are debating if we should cancel our service thru them and go to another company!
jmm823,
I definitely understand your frustrations and would like to assist with correcting this for you! Our Product Development Team is aware of the issue and are working diligently to provide a permanent fix. In the meantime, I would be happy to review your account and correct the text package and billing for you. We definitely do not want you to have to consider leaving Verizon Wireless! I will send you a message, and you can reply with the requested information.
Thank you again for your patience, and for choosing Verizon Wireless!

Apple Mail no longer receiving Gmail messages

Hi
When I upgraded to Mavericks over Christmas I could no longer send or receive messages via my Gmail account. I recreated it and it worked fine until 21 January when I stopped receiving any messages. I can send them OK, the Connection Doctor says "Connection and login to server succeeded" for the Gmail SMTP account and the same for the Google IMAP account. I have 3 non-Gmail accounts which are using the Gmail SMTP as the outgoing server and they work fine. I downloaded the Airmail mail app and set up my Gmail account and it's sending and receiving messages with no problems.
I read on a forum that rebuilding my inbox might help, and now I've got no Gmail messages at all! This is driving me crazy, any help would be greatly appreciated.

In System Preferences > Notification Center, select Mail in the left hand column, and check the box, "Badge app icon" toward the bottom on the right.

Gmail & Mail 3.0: Sudden new problems--can't receive or delete messages

For the last two days I've had very odd problems with Mail. They seemed to start out of the blue; the only thing new I've done in this time frame is get an iPhone, which I set up with imap/gmail (I installed Leopard long before these problems started). For a couple of days I was unable to send messages. Then suddenly last night I was able to send but now I can't receive or delete messages. Does anyone know what may be the problem and what to do? Thanks so much.

I'll add my sad story...
Since upgrading, one email account will not receive mail - says the server reject my password, although I can retrieve my mail from the web. It is a POP account, although I tried setting up another with the same settings but as an IMAP account, with no luck. Outgoing mail is fine and other accounts, such as .mac and gmail seem to work. Tried recreating the account as a new user (so no old preferences messing things up) and from a new mail program (Thunderbird), but still rejects my password. I will try from an 10.4 machine today to see if I can get my mail.

Duplicates of all my Gmail messages?

Lately over the last day or two Mail is listing 3-4 duplicates of every Gmail message I have received in my inbox. The only thing that has changed is that I turned on Priority Inbox. Has anybody else seen any problems with Mail duplicates in their Gmail inbox?

I think this is the same issue I had, and I found a solution posted by Ernie at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12053372&#12053372. His solution worked perfectly for me--hope it helps you out also. ;-}

Mavericks Mail.app + Gmail = Random Duplicate Sent Messages

I'm working with a user here with a brand new Retina MBP. Has 3 email accounts loaded in Mail:
- personal @gmail account
- corporate Google Apps account
- iCloud
The iCloud account is pretty much unused.
Randomly - though increasingly frequently - when she sends mail using the new rMBP, 2-3 messages are being generated just seconds apart.
I can see from the headers the message IDs are different. Also, the recipients complain about receiving multiple identical messages.
It's worth noting that she also has a retina iPad and iPhone 4s that both have these two Google accounts loaded.
Software is up-to-date including the mail patch from last month. We've turned off syncing drafts at Gmail due to related Mavericks mail buginess.
I am fairly certain the duplicates only occur when she sends from the rMBP. Messages and replies sent from the browser or either iOS device don't get duplicated. The accounts are also loaded into a PC/Outlook (the system I switched here away from), but that system has not been on for several weeks now. The duplicates did not appear until we set up the rMBP.
So yes, it would appear to be a Google server issue, but only happens when using Mavericks.
Anyone else with a similar experience or thoughts to offer?

Maybe this will help. If you monitor the "More Like This" box (top right), other threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads.

i can no longer log into my ichat linked to my gmail. right after opening up ichat, receive the following message: lost connection with jabber. the server has unexpectedly disconnected. how to troubleshoot? thanks.

Hi,
There can be many reasons why the Login is "up the creek".
Any break in the network at your end whilst logged in will cause an issue.
A sort of discrepancy between what iChat thinks the state should be and what the server thinks.
If they don't agree the server will refuse to accept.
A Crash at the server end which does not log you out properly will also do it.
Any file at any time can be come corrupted.
Luckily with the iChat .plists they are recreated if removed with an iChat Restart.
If it were AIM you can also get your Account Suspended and this will not log you in.
(It tends to happen from Chat rooms where people notify AIM about bad behaviour (as they see it) and you have to apply to get Un-suspended).
Most of the big IM services use multiple servers.
Sometimes these go out of Sync.
In the case of AIM this happens when they remove Old unused Screen Names from people's Buddy List prior to making them available for re-registration. I am not sure if this happens at Google.
You seem to be talking about an account that has worked at Work and having new computer at home.
As I mentioned the Priority thing you have not said that it has coincided with the new computer logging in (this will kick the work Computer out of Google whether you are logged in on the Web Mail page or in iChat)
IN addition to that iChat stays partially logged in for Off Line IMs
This is done in the background by a support app called iChatAgent
If your Computer is ON but ichat is not started people can still send you Messages.
Instead of saving these on the server until you login iChat will start up.
Depending if the home Mac is effecting the Work Login it may be holding sway over your Login.
Using your girlfriend's login may have booted her Off Line where she normally uses the name/login.
The AIM Side can be specifically set to allow Multiple Logins and therefore NOT allow them. If this happens you get a warning and messages to do something about it.
You do not get these in any Jabber or Google Login as the Priority setting is supposed to take care of it.
If the Login works at the Web Mail Login and on one computer then the .plist on the work computer is the most likely issue.
There is a small chance that a Corrupt Buddy Pic (Home Folder/Library/Caches/com.apple.iChat/Pictures) may be the cause.
Set this folder to icon view and also use the Finder's View Menu > Show View Options and select icon view.
This should show all pics as their icon.
Check that all display properly.
At this point I would try a COMBO version update install of the last Update you did over what you have.
This often corrects hard to trace things

Finally... SOLUTION!!!!
Hey guys. After being a loyal iPhone user for almost 5yrs, I finally switched to (dark) Adnroid side and I love it! I was stressing out over this very issue for the longest time. My wife still has an iPhone 5 and I could never receive her text messages on my Galaxy Note 3. After struggling with using the aforementioned fixes, nothing worked. After a week, I was considering returning my awesome new galaxy and just getting the iPhone 5s.
Finally, my wife figured out a solution so simple we stared at each other dumbfounded. It's as simple as this:
1. I went to my wife's iPhone and went to Contacts and selected my contact info
2. I scrolled to my phone number. It was filed as "iPhone." Now change that to simply "mobile"
3. Now send a text from iPhone to Galaxy. You should now be able to receive texts on the Galaxy from the iPhone without it trying to send it as an iMessage.
Alternate (more frustrating way)
After the iPhone user (ios7) tries to send a text and it comes back as undelivereable, select the exclamation point next to the returned text, then click "send as text message." this will force it to send the message as an SMS text as opposed to an iMessage. This will work, but you have to go through this song and dance everytime.
I hope this works for you guys- it did for me, and I'm happy I'm keeping my new phone!!

Duplicate Inbox after trying to solve Gmail duplicate sent messages...

.. was trying to solve the problem of duplicate sent messages with Gmail email on the BB Curve 8350. In following instructions from this message board, I instead ended up with duplicate INBOXES. Now, when I unregister and re-register my gmail account on my phone, it creates a new icon. This has resulted in my original problem being multiplied by four. What I mean is, now I have duplicate sent messages in TWO DIFFERENT INBOXES. Originally, my gmail account went to the main Inbox on the phone. I cannot delete the main message system.. HELP!

It seems I found a bug!
I now understand what happens, although don't know the reason. The symptoms are caused by the "Auto-Expunge" feature on Gmail. I disabled it and fooled around the options and this is what I discovered:
When I set "the message will be archived when disappear from the last visible folder", the message is archived whenever I try to move the sent messages to any other folder than the "Sent" one;
When I set "move the message to trash when disappear from the last visible folder", the message is deleted and moved to trash whenever I try to move it from the "Sent" folder to any other.
In other words, for some awkward reason, Lion's Apple Mail is not handling folder-to-folder operations and Gmail thinks that the messages has been removed from the last visible folder and does with it whatever it was instructed to, which is either to archive or move to trash.
Since by disabling Auto-Expunge Gmail waits for the client to take the action, it seems that Apple Mail is sending the wrong command or sending it on the wrong timing.
I wonder is Apple is aware of this.
Any suggestions?

Multiple Duplicate Text messages received repatedly

Quite often I get several duplicate Text messages of the same message. Drive my message count way up

Ever sice the latest update I've been receiving at least 3 duplicates of every text that gets sent to me. Anyone else experiencing this or have any ideas on how to make it stop?
It's actually been going on since well before the update. I have friends with other phones who have the same thing happen to them. One actually has a 'pre-smartphone' phone and they get multiples all the time. The problem is with some setting within Verizons network, which apparently they don't feel is that big of a deal. Only thing I've heard is to contact Verizon and tell them and they supposedly do someting to correct it for that user, but that's about it
