Thunderbird keeps downloading the same messages even after deleting from trash folder

Also get this message no when emailing one of my groups " is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail."

Hello, could you please provide the following information?
* What type of email account is it (IMAP or POP)?
* Who is the email provider (GMail, other webmail, self-hosted..)?
Please consider creating a new thread about the groups email issue. Having one thread per question makes it easier to answer, read and search for them.
Doing so will also allow the Mozilla volunteers to give you solutions that are more helpful to you. This may help them to solve your problem faster and more efficiently.
Thank you!

My mac mail on just keeps sending the same messages even after deleted and shows thousands of emails supposed to be coming in

If you have a backup, you can restore the e-mails. Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Library/Mail/V2.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

After you delete them, empty the trash before they re-load.

Mail keeps downloading the same message severytime iit logs into the server

Hi,
I have several acocunts all retrieving mail from various servers.
Yesterday changed a configuration from one server to stop automatically forwarding e-mail to another server and, instead, just have mail retrieve the messages directly from that box.
Now, for some inexplicable reason, mail keeps retriving the same messages stored on each server everytime it logs in. I know have up to 4 - 6 copies of some messages in both mail boxes for these two servers. I have re-examined all my settings and they are as they should be.
I fanally trashed all old mail on the servers (there was over 1500 from the past week on one which was continuosly being downloaded.)
What could possible be causing it? How do I fix it?
Thanks.

Never mind about the Junk Folder missing. I found out about that.
Still receiving the duplicate e-mails though.
Thanks for your help. Please read comments below.
Hi Matthew.
For POP accounts, Mail uses a file within the
account
folder to keep track of which messages have
already
been downloaded. That file may have become corrupt
or
the data stored there may have become invalid for
some reason.
You may try deleting that file so that Mail
creates
it anew, but that will also cause Mail to treat
everything still on the server as if new
and
try to download it again:
1. Quit Mail.
2. In the Finder, go to the
~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/
account folder.
3. Locate one or two files named
MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded and move them
to
the Trash. Mail 1.x used
MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded
to keep track of which messages had already been
downloaded. Mail 2.x uses
MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2 for the same
purpose.
Alternatively, you may try clicking Remove
now
in Preferences > Accounts > Advanced, which
should both remove from the server the messages
that
Mail thinks have already been downloaded and reset
MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded.
I tried both of these messages. No luck. I finally
jsut set one of the accounts to immediately delete
the message once it has retrieved it from the server,
though that takes away a certain piece of mind that
it exists in two places at least for a weel.
Anyway. Niw my Junk mail folder has disappeared. I
had it set to train and this morning when I opened
mai it asked if I wanted it to change to automatic.
I said yes and went about looking at new mails.
There qere a lot of junk mail not beeing tagged as I
began to use command-shift-j to mark this messages,
the first few turned brown as they should. The, all
of a sudden, messages started disappearing. When I
looked for the Junk Mail folder on the left, it was
gone! I still have no idea where it is. I spent the
afternoon backing up an d running Disk Warrior. But
Junk didn't return. Any clues? (Possibly this
should be a new thread)
BTW, what are your Preferences > Accounts >
Advanced > Remove copy from server settings?
I had them set to be removed after a week. No I have
one removing them as they are retrieved. This
computer's been running like that for 3 years. Not
sure gremlin has gotten into the works but it's
frustrating as ****.
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.

Why does firefox call IP 208.53.130.221 on startup? Even with blank page? And keeps trying the same address even after is shut down? No other browsers does it!

I can see it via my firewall log; checked for malware, nothing found. It's like Firefox is trying to report somewhere, and it's always the same IP address. I even stopped using firefox all together. Opera doesn't display the same problem, neither does the IE, so this is firefox related.
Even though I have 3.5.2 now, this is a roll back from the later version - I thought it might be related to later updates, but no, 3.5.2 does the same thing.

It's the forums that make the image tiny, if you do a right-click > copy shortcut, you can then paste it into a new tab, which will let you see the full size image. It's a 3360x1050 image, maybe a bit big for the forums.
Basically though, the left image is IE, and that shows an error box. The centre image is Opera, and that shows an empty screen. The right image is FF, and that is how it should look.
If it's a machine specific error, then I can't work out why it is on several machines in my house... very odd.

Tbird starts downloading but stops at one message and keeps downloading the same message each time it does a synch.

I have not changed any account settings and can still access my email online. The problem started randomly yesterday and has continued after logging off and on twice.
My email is accessed from att using a POP server.

TS1702 App store keeps telling me my iPad settings have to be set to enable cookies to download apps. The setting is done, but why do I keep getting the same message to change the settings?

I'm just setting up my new iPad. I tried to download an app for the first time but kept getting a notice that said cookies have to be enabled. I have followed the directions on enabling cookies, but I keep getting the same message when I try to download the app.

Is this how you do it?

The issue should be fixed now. Sorry about that, another Apple snafu but at least a short one.

You can change the settings in Security & Privacy to "Anywhere"...
That should work... as to whether the printer driver will work, that's another question.

Itunes keeps downloading the same songs over and over again on a shared library

I have a share library on a NAS box, and until now, little problem. But now, iTunes keeps downloading the same songs etc, when I go to another PC, even though the library is shared between the other PC, is the same.
Plus, iTunes repeatably asks for my Password to log in, even though it is correct.
Share Library on NAS box, mapped drive paths to drive letters.
Keeps re-downloading songs and podcasts I all ready have on the NAS box, if I open iTunes on different computer.
This is new behaviour. Has not happend like this till today.
Keeps asking for my iTunes ID and Password, over and over again, evertime I run iTunes, or my iPod.
Thanks in advance.

Adriana,
If your .mac account is set to be type .mac (don't laugh, it can be set to be POP, or IMAP), it functions essentially like an IMAP. As a .mac, the Inbox is actually on the server, and when you display the Inbox, you are displaying everything on the server. Any downloading you observe is purely for purposes of display, according to what selections you have made in Mail Preferences. What you report seems perfectly normal, for a .mac account, and for an IMAP account.
Often an exchange account is also an IMAP account, and thus the behavior would seem normal for that type of account.
Again the Inbox is on the Server, and not on your Mac. Do not confuse this with selecting to Keep copies for Offline viewing -- those copies are refreshed from the server whenever you sign on.
Neither a .mac nor IMAP account folder will contain a MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded file . However, your POP folder should have such a file or two, to control duplicate downloads of messages remaining on the server -- POP was originally designed to remove upon download, but now that many people use more than one computer, it is logical to sometimes leave messages on the server to be download onto other computers.
In the Finder, open Home/Library/Mail and look for a folder named to begin with POP and including the server and/or email address in the name. If there is not a POP folder, then the account has NOT been set up to be something other than POP. If there is a POP folder, it should contain the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded.
More info, please.

Mail Keeps Downloading the Same Emails

As of this morning, Mail (v4.5) keeps downloading the same emails over and over. I've got my delete setting to delete after one week (not immediately after download), but this has never been an issue before. In fact, I have multiple email accounts that access the same mail server, but only this one account is having this issue. I've gone in to my mailbox via Mail2Web and deleted all the messages in case it was some kind of corrupt email causing the issue. But as new emails come in, the problem reappears--the new emails are downloaded over and over. This is with a POP account.
I would think it'd be a server issue, not a Mail issue, but none of my other accounts that access the same mail server are affected. Any suggestions?

Ok, found a solution, as outlined by Satchmo here:

Hi Barbara,
I had a similar problem recently and using the "more like this" feature I discovered an answer. To a problem posed by Holo7, who like myself was a newbie on this platform, b noir proposed a solution to Holo7's problem that also worked with my problem. It involves downloading a version of MS Windows Instal Cleanup and using it to completely remove all traces of the old version.
If you look at my problem (follow OldGit66) and the link to Holo7's problem then you will find b noir's answer which I think may help you. I am new around here so you might want to wait for one of the higher status correspondents.
Regards
John

I keep getting the error message "apple application support is required to run itunes. Please uninstall itunes and then install it again." I've done this twice and still keep getting the same message...I'm at wits end Please HELP!!!

I keep getting the error message "apple application support is required to run itunes. Please uninstall itunes and then install it again." I've done this twice and still keep getting the same message...I'm at wits end Please HELP!!!

Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

ITunes keeps providing a message that iPod is currupted. I have restored the iPod and reloaded iTunes but keep getting the same message that the iPod is currupted.

iTunes keeps giving me the message that my iPod is currupted. I have restored the iPod and reloaded iTunes but keep getting the same message. What's weird is that my iPod will connect to another PC and that my PC will connect to my daughter's iTouch. Any ideas? My iPod was working with my PC for years and just started getting this error.

According to this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes): This issue is typically caused by out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software. Please followTroubleshooting security software issues if USB troubleshooting does not resolve this issue.
