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.

  • 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?

  • When I send text messages to another iphone on my wireless plan I receive the sent message to my iphone.

    When I send text messages to my wife's iphone I receive the sent message to my iphone.  Is there anyway to prevent this from happening?

    Having seperate apple ID's will fix it, but here's how to fix it without adding a new ID.
    Go to settings, messages, send and receive, be sure your number is the only one checked. If her number is checked as well you will receive your texts to her as well.

  • Since installing Lion I cannot open any previous received or sent messages.

    The message window opens then says 'loading' but never does. Any received or sent messages since Lion installation open no problem. Any ideas please??

    I must assume you are talking about mail? 
    How did you install Lion?  Did you have Snow Leopard before? This happens whether or not you are connected to the internet?  Have you confirmed the account settings for your mail provider are correct (in Mail, Preferences, Accounts)?  Have you tried "Rebuild" under the Mailbox menu?

  • Sent messages and inbox messages all appearing in same list

    Hi there
    Please can anyone tell me how I can separate out my sent messages from my inbox messages? Currently when I go to "Messages" from the home screen it takes me to a list of all messages, both sent and received, altogether. I've not had this with any other phone - normally have an "inbox" and "sent" - please is it possible how I can see the messages separately as you would do normally, not all together in one long list?
    Are there any Apps to allow me to do this? Does iSMS allow this functionality - to have messages separated into inbox and sent folders accordingly?
    Thank you for any help answering my question.

    It's an absolutely brilliant phone don't get me wrong but this issue dumbfounds me. SMS is the biggest feature on every mobile. Why would a company deliberately choose to design a messages page and have all messages together instead of taking a bit more time (and money) developing it a bit further as with 99% of modern phones and move messages into appropriate folders - inbox, sent, drafts? Just to put them all in one list, making it impossible to tell which are ones you have written or been sent to you.
    For example: if I send a text sms to John Smith that message appears under "John Smith" in the messages page, and then when John replies to it that message too appears under "John Smith" in the same messages page (no other information other than the name of the person) - absolutely no way at all to tell which is the one I have sent and the one I have received without manually clicking into each - if I had 50 messages this would be very impractical as you can imagine. You can see my frustration?
    You cannot tell which messages you have sent and ones you have received - even a small marker like "R" for received and "S" for sent would help distinguish between them and be an improvement if all were to stay in the same page like they do. Is Apple likely to provide a solution to this soon in a next update?

  • 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."

  • 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?

  • How to copy all my sent messages to inbox

    I want to have ALL my messages that I send copied to Inbox folder. I know the option Edit> Account Settings> under "Copies & Folders" option "Place replies in the folder of the message being replied to". I have checked this option. What it does is that it copies my answers in conversations that are already started. So if I just send mail to someone I won't see it in my Inbox but only in the Sent folder, with other words it does not copy my first mail if I'm the one that starts the conversation.
    Is there a way I can have all my sent emails in my Inbox folder?
    I tried making some filter but I didn't get what combination would do the job.
    I figured out that if under options at Edit> Account Settings> Copies & Folders> under "Place a copy in:" i click on "Other" and select there my Inbox folder I will get effect I wanted but I lose my previous sent folder. Even the icon change from stamp to Inbox icon. So that means I can not see just mails I send but only all together with Inbox mails.
    I understand that I could use filter to tag all mails I sent and than in quick search just click to see that tag. It would get the similar effect as the Sent folder but I don't see this as a great solution. Is there some smother way to do what I want and keep my Send folder?

    Some of us like to advise against storing ''anything ''in the Inbox, let alone adding to it your Sent messages.
    The setting you mention will start saving sent messages immediately. It's up to you to move historic messages from the proper Sent folder to wherever you want them. Be aware that if the account uses IMAP, it may take some time for the client (Thunderbird) and the server to get back into step.
    I file my messages in different folders according to who I'm corresponding with (family), or the project the messages relate to (at work). So yes I too want replies filed alongside the messages they respond to. I go about this by using an add-on, "Copy Sent To Current" which modifies Thunderbird's storing strategy for sent messages, and can be set to prompt me to choose when sending.
    Another approach you may prefer is Conversations, as in gmail, where the messages in a to-and-fro conversation are strung together. However in most business correspondence, it's customary to simply top-post at the top of the incoming message and send the whole thing back, so it becomes less necessary or useful to store all the messages anyway. Each message is in itself a summary of the conversation so far.
    In either case, typing the appropriate words into the add-ons window's search box will find suitable add-ons for you.

  • Gmail - sent messages in inbox!

    If I send an e-mail (on my Gmail acct. only) either from my iPhone or from Apple Mail, the e-mail I sent arrives as new mail in the inbox of my iPhone... Why are my sent messages being brought in as new mail? Only happens on the iPhone, not in the Mail app.

    Sorry - I just realized that this wasn't a solution to YOUR problem, but mine . I hate the fact that when I send email from the iPhone, I can't download my sent email to my PC. When I sent it from GMail.com - it downloads just fine.
    Anyway - if anyone gives this a shot, please let me know. Otherwise I can report back later tonight...
    I think I have a solution! I'm not at my mac so I
    can't try this...but if someone could, please do and
    report back.
    I think GMail uses your SMTP server credentials to
    decide on not downloading an email you've sent to
    yourself (i.e. a sent email from iPhone that you've
    CC'd yourself on).
    What if you have two GMail accounts - let's call them
    Main and XYZ. In Mail on your mac, set up your Main
    email account to use the XYZ credentials for your
    SMTP server. Sync your iPhone with mail (preferably
    "reset Mail" on your iPhone). Now try sending an
    email from your iPhone (CC'ing yourself) and see if
    you end up downloading it onto your computer... It
    will still come from your Main account, but GMail
    will use your XYZ credentials to actually send the
    message on their servers.
    Any thoughts? Please post back with results!
    thanks,

  • How to not show sent messages in inbox

    That's my question. Is there any way to not show my own sent messages in my inbox (rather than sent messages). When I send something, it shows up in the sentbox and my own inbox. Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    Would IMAP fix this problem?
    yes, it would. but IMAP works very differently from POP so you should understand all the other implications before switching. IMAP keeps everything in sync with the server at all times. so when you delete something in Mail you'll also delete it on the server. and vice versa. it also syncs your other mailboxes like Sent or Draft mailboxes although it's possible to turn that off.

  • Convert pop account to imap - lose sent messages and inbox messages

    I converted a pop account to imap and lost the ability to search through messages prior to the conversion. Luckily I backed up all the messages. How do I get the ability to search them back? I tried moving them into the appropriate folder in finder, but they don't show up in mail.

    i am having a similar problem - all of my sent messages disappeared from my mail program. i've located them in my home folder but can't figure out how to see them in my sent mailbox from the mail program ????

  • 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.

  • Gmail Duplicate sent messages

    I have an account which is producing multiple sent portions of any email I am composing. It is a Gmail account, but on the webmail portion of that, I see no duplicates in the sent box.
    I have checked and rechecked settings, but see none that might be causing this.
    Thanks for any insight.

    When you use Gmail IMAP and you sync all the folders, you do get some duplicate mail on your Mac. This is because Gmail keeps one copy of each message and uses Labels. The Mail on your Mac keeps copies of messages in Folders.
    You have a message you sent in your Sent folder. There is a copy of it. If you are subscribed to the Gmail Folder All Mail, you will end up with another copy on your Mac. In Gmail, it is just a message in All Mail labeled Sent. On your Mac you have two copies of the message.
    You can ignore this or you can unsubscribe from All Mail by enabling Advanced IMAP Controls in the Labs tab of your Gmail settings and then unselecting Show in IMAP for All Mail in your Labels tab.

  • Mail duplicates sent MESSAGES?

    Since about two months I had three occurences where I sent an email to a person with text and maybe an attachment, shortly after I sent another email to someone else...with new body and all. HOWEVER, it sends out my first email with text, attachment to the second recipient specified. My second email (the intended one) is nowhere to be found. Not in drafts, certainly not in the "sent" folder.
    Anyone else having this problem?
    Thanks

    If I’ve understood it correctly, this problem is caused by some index corruption that makes messages to randomly appear in a mailbox different from where they’re supposed to be. If that mailbox happens to be the Outbox, Mail thinks they’re waiting to be sent and dutifully proceeds to try to send them.
    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, and making sure that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
    1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is stored.
    3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
    4. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.
