Too many messages in mail

i'm using gmail on my phone, and when i initially set it up the phone grabbed ALL the emails i had on my mac, including the ones in the trash! is there a way to avoid this for the next time i sync my phone? also when i send an email on the phone i get a copy of the email i just sent. i have the cc: to myself option turned off. any ideas or suggestions for either or both problems?

Make sure you Mail Settings > Advanced is set to Recent mode. Then make sure the "Show" setting is at 25, instead of 200. This worked for me.
Gmail will download sent messages into your inbox, which is a bit of a pain. This is a result of Gmail's folder structure, which uses meta tags to organize mail instead of hard folders. If this is unacceptable, Y! or .Mac might be a better alternative since they use a hard folder structure. You can forward your Gmail to Y! and have Y! set up rules to organize what comes over.

What does this mean? The mail server responded: Too many messages. Please check the message and try again.

I use BT yahoo mail with Thunderbird 24.6.0 in the last few days i've started getting this message when sending messages:
An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Too many messages. Please check the message and try again.
Now sometimes the messages are sent anyway and sometimes not. If I re-send sometimes it works and sometimes not. I've contacted BT 'tech support' who tell me there is nothing wrong with them or their servers and as webmail works ok they won't help. I strongly suspect it IS a BT issue, Any clues to fix this?

The message means BT are lying basically. I have just spent the best part of an hour on chasing what limits BT place on mail sending... the internet contains a void.
The closest thing I can locate is a BT rep here https://community.bt.com/t5/Email/E-Mail-message-limit/m-p/1045228/highlight/true#M17523 refusing to identify what limits they impose but advising their switch to critical path has more stringent controls. AFAIK Critical path is ca mail software solution sold by OpenWave Messaging http://owmessaging.com/
So your paying for a totally undefined service. Congratulations!

Mail slow down; too many messages?

Mail (4.4) has slowed down a bunch here. I click on an unread message and it takes a good 5 seconds (or more) to show the message and any pics in it. (most of the time it seems to display the wrong message for a quick spell, then go and wait on the correct message)
I do have 9 accounts (and 3 dead ones) Most IMAP and some POP. I do sync and also keep/move a bunch to the On My Mac section.
Is there a way to find the total # of messages in Mail? (not just a selected folder)
I might just go the mailSteward route and keep Apple Mail lean and mean.

I wish I could offer a solution ... I'm posting because I'm also suffering from brutally slow search in Apple Mail. I have multiple mailboxes with lots of messages using IMAP and POP with Gmail but must it really take (literally) a minute to type something into the box and get results? Even more frustrating, typing into the box is slow ... each letter takes 5-10 seconds to apppear!
I tried "vacuuming" my mailbox according to instructions I found online. That made it a little smaller but didn't help noticeably. My sense is that the indexing is screwed up or I simply have too many messages and it's choking on it.
I'd love anyone's input! I'm a recent convert (back) to Mac OS and I'm just not sure how to begin fixing this problem.

Error message -' too many messages'

Hi,
Whenever I send an email, it seems to send ok, but then an error message appears saying 'too many messages' with error codes. I've noticed also that there are 'mail undelivered' returned emails which contain email addresses that I don't recognize - mostly these addresses end with suffix '.ru'.
Any ideas what's going on?
Thanks
Wayne

Too many messages

I have a email java app that sends mail in a loop for all the email address that it has in a list, it's not multithreaded yet. What I am seeing is this exception:
1. First it throws this error message:
com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPSendFailedException: 421 #4.x.2 Too many messages for this
session
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.issueSendCommand(Unknown Source)
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.mailFrom(Unknown Source)
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.sendMessage(Unknown Source)
2. When it comes to process next email address, it throws this error message:
com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPSendFailedException: [EOF]
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.issueSendCommand(Unknown Source)
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.mailFrom(Unknown Source)
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.sendMessage(Unknown Source)
3. When it comes to process next email address that falls after the one in bullet # 2, it finally gives up and throws this message:
javax.mail.MessagingException: Can't send command to SMTP host;
nested exception is:
java.net.SocketException: Broken pipe
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.sendCommand(Unknown Source)
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.sendCommand(Unknown Source)
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.issueSendCommand(Unknown Source)
Everytime this happens, this is the pattern as I described above. I am just not getting why this should occur. I was planning to make this application multithreaded, but now I am not sure what it will do.

Obviously your SMTP server is limiting the number
of messages you can send in a single session (connection).
If you control the SMTP server, you might want to change
the limit. Otherwise, you'll need to change your code
to disconnect occasionally and reconnect to send further
messages.

Too Many Messages? Is MailSteward Answer?

As of yesterday, Mail will not download incoming mail from my ISP to my POP account in my computer. I have 3 accounts that feed through the ISP, and none is coming in. I have another account at gmail, and it is coming into my Mail inbox.
My ISP and AppleCare say that I need to delete mailboxes and reconfigure mail account manually. It is THE ONLY WAY, I am told. AppleCare says I have too many messages stored. Is that really true?
I have 10 years of messages, from 4 Macs, totaling almost 54,000 messages. If matters, breakdown is below. I don't want to lose these messages. I do search them daily for information, sources.
Questions:
-I watched tutorials on MailSteward, both Lite and Pro. Looks good. Any advice or recommendations on it?
-Also read that could simply create Folder, say on Desktop, and drag and drop an entire mailbox. Then can search with Spotlight. Is it that simple?
-If I either archive with MailSteward or a drag-and-drop, I assume that my mailboxes will still be achived in Time Machine? Time Machine will then also backup my archive that I create. Would seem very safe to then delete in Mail, right?
Thanks, Armando
MAILBOXES:
-Inbox (9/05 to present) 17,000
-Sent 17,500
ON MY MAC
-Import Eudora
-Inbox 11,000
-Sent 8,000
Total 53,500

The answers to those questions above is important to preventing unnecessary work, but the task that may be needed is outlined below:
As I said, the limits on Mail are only with respect to individual mailboxes -- they should be kept below 2 GB each. I have found Mail to be rather robust at handling a large data base, so long as you do not allow individual mailboxes to become Overstuffed -- see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1895
The document states it is for 10.4 and later -- the dimensional limits for mailboxes stated for 10.4 applies to 10.5 and 10.6.
If a mailbox has become Overstuffed then the index for all messages may or may not cause a message about not being downloaded, but this is an inaccurate statement when there is overstuffing -- in Mail 2.x and 3.x, overstuffing can be resolved by redistributing the files in the Messages folder of the the mailbox that is Overstuffed, and then forcing a reindexing of all mailboxes -- see the following about repairing the index overall:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/3.0/en/14019.html
If mailbox is not with some regularity rebuilt (using the Rebuild command) then that is one factor causing issues with the index. I say this is an outline because the methodogy for redistributing the xxxx.emlx files found in the Messages folder may or may not be obvious to you?

How can i fix imessage when my friends send me too many messages and it wont load

My friends sent me 92 messages on the same group message and iMessage won't load because there are too many messages. Is there any way I can fix it because I tried resetting all settings and it didn't work.

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

421 4.4.5 Too many messages from this host last hour

Hi, we are in a migration process from a Kerio system to Exchange 2013.
Everything is working fine, except that we have been experiencing this error on the logs and the Exchange 2013 users are getting returned emails.
The remote server is 10.10.10.85
Remote Server at 10.10.10.85 (10.10.10.85) returned '400 4.4.7 Message delayed'
19/12/13 7:21:57 p. m. - Remote Server at 10.10.10.85 (10.10.10.85) returned '451 4.4.0 Primary target IP address responded with: "421 4.4.5 Too many messages from this host last hour." Attempted failover to alternate host, but that did not succeed.
Either there are no alternate hosts, or delivery failed to all alternate hosts. The last endpoint attempted was 10.10.10.85:25'
My question is, is Exchange rejecting the messages or is the other system telling Exchange to slow things a bit?

To update this.
We found out that the other email system was configured NOT to accept more than 100 messages per hour from same sending IP.
Once we removed the configuration value from the other email system, all started working.

Too many addresses in mail's "From" pull-down menu

i have 3 mobileme addresses, a few of aliases, and 1 gmail account. my problem is this:
when composing a new message, there are too many addresses the "from" pull-down menu, because mail includes both the .mac and .me versions of each of my aliases. so, instead of a list of 6 addresses, mail shows 10. furthermore, the addresses appear, in the menu, in a random order, making it even harder to find and select the address i need:
they display in this order:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
- how do i get mail to stop listing both the .mac and .me versions of addresses (aliases) in the pull-down menu?
- and how do i alphabetize the list?
thanks.

i must have been really tired when posting the above. lol. obviously i meant "a few aliases" and "there are too many addresses in the 'from' pull-down menu."
i hope someone knows how to address this issue. (no pun intended.)

IPhones w ActiveSync creating too many connections on mail server

Over the past two days, I have started getting 503 errors, indicating too many connections. When I went to look at active connections, I noticed that the vast majority were from the iPhones that connect using ActiveSync. Just in the 45 minutes since I cleared all active connections, my iPhone has created 14 active connections. When you multiply that by the eight iPhones we have at this company the number jumps to 112. It is easy to see why the 503 error is getting generated by the end of the business day. It is as though the iPhone is unable to let go of an active connection, and just starts a new one. This only seems to be happening since the iPhone 3.0 update. Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?

Yes - I'm having a very similar problem on our server. But in this case the user has a very large mailbox - and imap processes are spawned but never die unless I go in and manually kill them.

Inbox Problems - Mac Mail Slow due to too many messages (45,000+)???

I have more than 75.000 messages in Mac Mail (mobile me). I need all these messages and constantly refer to them - they stretch back several years. I use the search system in mail to locate the one I need, when I need it etc.
Recently I have noticed that mail is getting slow to download new messages. I have been watching the activity window and see that mail seems like it checks each message for flags/changes before downloading new mail.
I am running several Macs in several locations and need all my mail to be available on all machines - hence i se IMAP not POP3.
I am wondering if I can speed things up by moving and sorting the 45,000 messages in my inbox to folders etc. Yes? No?
Also, if I create folders, I assume that I should create these on Mobile Me (not 'on my mac')?
Thanks for any advice!

I think that sorting them out to folders on the server would help this.
In Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced what is your selection with regard to Keep copies of messages (and attachments) for Offline viewing?

I get following when I try to send an e-mail and its just happend: "too many messages. Please check the message and try again"

I use BT SMTP server and this just started today. Any ideas as I don't want to move to outlook

To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try one of the following:
*Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
*Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]
; If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.

I am sick of receiving too many junk e-mails

Hello?

Hi pepe64
This isn't a chat site; it's populated by users just like yourself, so you have to be patient. Even if no one responds, after a couple of days an Apple representative will likely see the lack of a response and post something helpful.
Here are three that they would most likely suggest right away:
iCloud: Manage junk mail
iCloud: Identifying and filtering junk mail
iCloud: Why am I getting junk mail (spam)?
If you're getting too much spam sometimes you simply have to abandon that email address and create another. Keep your email addresses limited to those you trust, and never post them on a publicly searchable website (such as this one).
What email client program are you using? Mail.app? If so use iCloud mail.
iCloud mail spam filtering is very good. I have received three or four spam emails in total, in all the time I've been using iCloud mail. Even if you never divulge your email address to anyone, spammers will simply send to hundreds of millions of randomly generated addresses. For those that get through, set up Mail's junk mail filter.

Too many messages in monitoring

My scenario is
FileSender -> BPM -> FileRecever && JDBCRecever
In Integration Engine monitoring I see 9 rows for 1 message!
1. FileSender -> BPM
2. FileSender -> BPM
3. BPM (Branched)
4. BPM -> FileRecever
5. BPM -> JDBCRecever
6. BPM -> FileSender (Acknowledgment)
7. FileRecever (no receiver)
8. JDBCRecever (no receiver)
9. FileRecever (no receiver)
Could you explain why are there 2 senders ( rows 1,2)
2 senders (rows 7,9) ?
Could you explain the existence of rows 7,8,9 without recever ?

> You are using fork step rite???
I am not using fork. It is a simple BPM with only receiver and send step.
> As i understand your scenario is sending the same message to a file and database
Yes. I understand a branching. But Why are there 2 pair of senders(1,2 and 7,9) ?

I tried to send a mail message to too many addees. when the rejection came back "cannot send message using the server..." the window is too long to be able to see the choices at the bottom of it. how can i see the choices at the bottom of that window?

I tried to send it through gmail and the acct is a POP acct
I'm not concerned about sending to the long address list. I just can't get the email and window that says "cannot send emai using the server..." to go away. The default must be "retry", because although I cannot see the choices at the bottom of the window if I hit return it trys again... and then of course comes back with the very long pop up window that I cannot see the bottom of so I can tell it to quit trying...
