Thunderbird email is receiving many duplicates of emails from the yahoo server

During the last few months my Thunderbird email account has been receiving many duplicates of emails from the yahoo (AT&T) server. This happens only when I receive e-mails that have large attachments like multiple photos. My spouse has the same problem on her email account. Frequently I receive 25 duplicates of the same email in my inbox.
I'm on Thunderbird release 31.5.0.
My server setting is = pop.att.yahoo.com port = 995
My Outgoing server name is = smtp.att.yahoo.com

  • Thunderbird stopped downloading emails from the web server and now when I try to add a new account I get a message to say it cannot find the email server.

    Thunderbird was working and then for no reason it stopped downloading emails from the web server. I can access my emails in the web server okay. I have tried to remove my account and then add it again as a new account but I get a message saying that Thunderbird cannot find the email server. I have also tried to uninstall and reinstall Thunderbird but with the same result. I have also tried to remove the default mail server but have been unable to do so. How can I fix this?

    I figured out a workaround.... Since I can get e-mails to populate via iSync and my other computer is running Leopard (it's a powerpc chip and can't run Snow Leopard), I added the account on the other computer and got the new account to populate into my SL machine with iSync. I don't like that I can't actually add the account directly, but at least this got me working.

  • How to prevent iPhone 4 with iOS 5 from deleting email from the MSN server

    when I was running iOS 4 I could sent my iPhone to never delete emails from the server but I just noticed that after the update iOS 5 when I delete an emial from my iPhone it shows up as deleted in my Outlook on my laptop. I looked and was not able to find a setting to prevent my iPhone from deleting emails fromt the server.
    Am I missing something?

    Thank you for responding!  The music I no longer want, I removed.  This is why it's confusing me so much.  The music I've deleted from both my iPhone and my computer is STILL showing up in my Music on iTunes, under my iPhone in devices.  Does that make sense?  I'm not particularly down with the techie lingo.  Haha.

  • Creating accounts and receiving email from a mail server

    Hi,
    I'm wanting to create a web application that creates a new email account for a user when they sign-up on my website. My application will process any email that is sent to that email address and extract parts of the email to store in a database.
    I think I can use JavaMail to poll the email accounts for new emails which will then be parsed and inserted into my database but I don't know how to programmatically create the email account for each user. I'm looking at using either sendmail or postfix as my mail server and this is on either *nix or os x.
    Any advice/pointers to Java APIs would be appreciated. If there's nothing available in Java that can do this kind of thing I'd love to hear about other solutions people know of or think might work :)
    Thanks!

    Hi there!
    Do the following
    message.setFlag(Flags.Flag.DELETED,true);
    folder.close(true);
    store.close();
    these 3 statements will delete email from the mail server.
    get back to me after u try this.

  • Config OES/sendmail to forward email from/to Exchange Server

    Hi
    I have installed an OES on a Red Hat ES 3.
    But on my network i have a Exchange Server that send/receive all emails. And i cannot change here nothing(company rules). Now what i need to do? I need to config the Linux sendmail to relay on the Exchange Server(the exchange is now configured relay on Linux) to forward the emails that i need.
    I only need this to one email account e.g [email protected] The Oracle Email Server is running, but i need to config the Linux to forward the email to the Exchange Server, and go to outside. Also i need that receiving an email to [email protected] that my Linux receive this email from the Exchange Server.
    I have configured the sendmail.cf like Oracle says on the Administrator’s Guide manual. I have add the ip and name of the Exchange on /etc/mail/access to relay. But still i cant send emails outside. If i test the sendmail -v testuser, and all says ok. I have tested telnet domain 25, and all went ok.
    I think the only problem is forward the oes to exchange to forward outside
    Any help
    Many thanks
    Thank you
    Jail

    Hi andreas
    Yes i also think that it maybe resolved by an alias and forwarding
    Th COM is the domain in the OES is the com default. Is this domain that you referring?
    The company domain that is in the OES(e.g xpto.com) is the same that is in the Exchange. Do you think this will be a problem? Must i create one like oes.xpto.com? To work with the OES?
    I have created a relay on the access file, but is this ok? Or must i need change anything else? Mean while i will check that url
    And yes i can connect to the Exchange on port 25 from the RH
    Since i have several user/account created on the OES, the only think that i did not understand yet is how can they receive any email?
    The fax@domain was a example. But i can collect all outside emails from that account and with some rules forward to any other OES account? I think this is possible? Or this is the hard way to configure the OES?
    Thank You
    Jail

  • I receive email from a yahoo account and a gmail account. thunderbird always shows a notice when yahoo mail arrives but never for gmail

    I receive email from a yahoo account and a gmail account. thunderbird always shows a notice when yahoo mail arrives but never for gmail and the settings are the same help! TIA

    well turn it off and see if that makes a change. After all IDLE is a server technology. If Google supports it and Yahoo does not then configuring Thunderbird the same means nothing. (I have no idea if Yahoo support it or not)

  • My emails from the last five years have disappeared and trying to receive new emails generates an error message

    My antivirus scan secured a FakeAlert threat. Now, all emails from the past five years are no longer visible in my Inbox and are not in the Deleted Items folder. Any time I try to receive a new email I receive the following message:
    "There was an error downloading the following message:
    From: <sender>
    Subject: <subject>
    This message may contain a virus or there is not enough disk space. Skip this message?"
    Enter No:
    "Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox."
    I have write privileges and 184 GB of free disk space. I recently deleted many emails and compacted my inbox. I cannot restore any files that the scan deleted because there are none visible.
    I have contacted my antivirus software providers and they concluded that the problem lies with my email software. Can you please help?

    REmove all emails from the Inbox to other folders.
    When it is empty do the next stage.
    If you are using a POP mail account and have some emails in the webmail view that are missing in Thunderbird, you could get everything currently on the server downloaded again.
    Make hidden files and folders visible:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
    In Thunderbird
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * click on 'Show Folder' button
    * '''close Thunderbird now - this is important. '''
    * clickon 'Mail' folder
    * click on mail account name
    * Locate and delete these files: '''Inbox and Inbox.msf'''
    * locate and delete this file: '''popstate.dat'''
    * close the window - top right X
    * restart Thunderbird
    A new Inbox will be created.
    A new popstate.dat file will be created.
    It keeps a record of everything downloaded, as it is new and empty, TB will believe everything currently in server Inbox needs to be downloaded.
    This will get everything currently in server Inbox back in Thunderbird. As you already have some emails, you may get some duplicates, but only the once.
    I would not expect any emails are recoverable from the Inbox in Thunderbird because they may have been corrupted by either an unknown reason or by the antivirus program doing something with the file to make emails lose information, it is possible that when you compacted the file emails were lost. Compacting removes 'marked as deleted' emails, but if it didi not know where a marked as deleted email ended, good emails could have been removed due to the corruption.
    In future, compacting should be done on a regular basis, but never compact a file/folder that you think may be corrupted. Getting the error message saying the file may be corrupted was a good hint that somethig was wrong.
    Report back on results.

  • When I back up our Thunderbird email from our office computer to our laptop, all of our folders from our inbox get duplicated to our archives, or vice versa.

    When we back up our Thunderbird email from our office computer to our laptop so we can continue doing business when we are away from the office, most (if not all) of our folders get duplicated between our inbox and our archives, or vice versa, we're not sure which. All we know is that many of our folders are copied. We have 62 folders in our archive, and 74 in our inbox. After checking- it appears that our archived folders are being duplicated back in to our inbox.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • I receive daily emails from the NY Times, which I read from my Ipad. Some of the emails will show all of the stories available, and some will only show a few lines in the body and the rest of the email is blank. Any ideas of what I need to do to fix this?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
