TS3276 I am having an email come back as a recovered email, every 10 seconds filling up my hard drive. I need to stop that from happening.

How do you stop a recovered email from coming back repeatedly? I sent an email to my wife with pictures, it keeps coming back to me every 10 to 15 seconds and is saved to hard drive in the user/mail folder. I need to figure out why it keeps doning this. Would it be my email service(AOL) that is doing this?
Thanks
Mark

The solution I found is to set my IMAP accounts (in the Advanced tab) to "Don't keep copies of any messages", then set rules that copy messages to local folders. My setup is pretty complicated, but this would work even if you have just one rule that copies everything into a single local folder. This gets around the problem that the OS warns you about when you use this setting, that Spotlight will no longer be able to search for messages. Spotlight keeps building and caching redundant indexes of IMAP accounts, consuming huge amounts of hard drive space. In my case, because I have tremendous volume of incoming mail and multiple IMAP accounts, this could eat up 30GB in a single afternoon. Unless you regularly quit mail, reboot, and run something like Lion Cache Cleaner, this eventually fills up the hard drive. I'm sure Apple will fix the problem sometime in the future, but, in the meantime, this is a pretty painless work-around.

    when someone texts my email address it no longers shows up as an email in my inbox, only as a imessage, how do I stop that from happening?  I do not use imessage at all.

    This is not something on your end.  If they send an iMessage it will arrive as an iMessage, if the send an email it will arrive as an email.
    THey are sepearate services that cannot be mixed up.
    Tell them to send you an email, rather than an iMessage.
    If they are using the messages App it will always arrive as a Message.

  • I disconnected an email account from my iPhone 4- no longer receive the emails from that account on the phone BUT the address still appears on some outgoing emails?  How can I stop that from happening?

    I have not upgrade to iOS7. I've deleted an email account (gmail incase it makes a difference).  The problem is that the ADDRESS still sometimes used despit the deletion.  Now, one of the reasons I deleted it was that this address would "override" the address I was trying to actually send from even if I manually selected the other address.  How do I get this completely disconnected from the phone without replacing the phone??

    If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go 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, 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 recently upgraded from ipad 1 to the new ipad.  Somehow all of my old deleted emails (3000 ) keep showing up on my new ipad in clusters of 50.  How do I stop  this from happening.

    I recently upgraded from ipad 1 to the new ipad.  After synching my new ipad, all of my deleted emails (3000+) keep showing up on my new ipad in my mail section.  How can I stop  this?

    Thanks for responding.
    I followed that 'How-To' when I did the transfer and watched iTunes process the backup, it also showed the 'Last Backup' date correctly at the bottom of the iTunes Summary screen. I did a restore from backup to my new iPad and on checking the iPad 4 it seemed that the transfer process duly transferred my books, documents, apps etc but did not transfer my photos and videos (they are all clicked to be included in the sync).
    I have now clicked on each video title in iTunes and it tells me that it cannot locate any of the videos!
    It seems for some bizarre reason that the transfer process has transferred some of the content of my iPad 1 and deleted other content - I don't get it!
    I also have the same content (videos and photos) on my iPhone 4 and have connected that to iTunes, whereby it immediately did a backup and sync, however I still get iTunes telling me that it cannot locate the videos ... it's as though the backup that was taken does not exist - or does 'backup' not mean 'backup'?.

  • ITunes radio starts playing after I check email.  What can I do to stop that from happening.  It is a nuisance to open iTunes and pause the song playing.

    On my iPhone 5c, after I check email or other apps not related to phone use, frequently iTunes radio starts playing.  I have learned to open app and pause the song being played.  Is there a way to not have that happen?

  • When I restored my iphone 4 all my deleted emails were back. like 4000 of them. How do I stop this from happening? Thanks

    I recently restored my iphone 4 when it froze up and when the restore was done, I had over 4000 emails in my inbox. All my deleted messages came back. How do I stop that from happening? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

    You have POP mail account.   That's how those types of email accounts work.
    You want an IMAP type of account, where if you delete on phone, it will also delete on server.   Should you ever restore your device again it will only update the mail that hasn't been deleted.
    You didn't say which email service you use, but try contacting them to see if they offer IMAP.  Or you can switch.

  • Old emails come back marked as "new"

    I have had 2 comcast email accounts on my phone for years, all of a sudden one of them started reloading old emails that had already been read and marking them as new. I deleted the account like 3 times and re-added but every time, the old emails come back. I'm at a loss as to why this is happening on one comcast account but not the other.
    I read one one of the past discussions that you can change a setting for archives or something but I can't find that option on my phone or in my email account.
    Any help would really be appreciated - thanks!

    After some initial issues (which I believe were really part of the "learning curve" for a new device), I'm really loving my LG Ally.  However, I have one issue that I just can't seem to figure out how to fix:  My home email, which is a POP3 email, keeps sending me "new" emails, that are actually old emails that I have deleted from both my phone and my home email.  In some cases, it is even email that I have completely dumped from my "deleted items" on my home email.  Why does it do that?  I have the settings on my home email account set to NOT save email on the server, so why doesn't it seem to be working?  I don't have any problems with my work email which is on an exchange server.  Any ideas? 
    Hi.  I am sorry you are having issues with your email and I can certainly look into it for you.   When did this start happening?  Dif you download any applications before this started happening?  Try to delete that particular email account and set it up again to see if that works.
    Waiting on your reply!
    Thanks!

    What type of account did you set-up on the iPad, POP, IMAP, the items on your iPad could have downloaded off the server or you will need wait awhile for the message to update to the iPad. 

  • Deleted Emails Come back into Inbox

    I have a iPhone 3GS with POP3 email account. When i delete emails from the iPhone inbox, occassionally I'll receive the same emails as "new" emails into my inbox again...after they've been deleted. Sometimes i delete by sliding the message to show the delete button, sometimes i use the edit to delete multiple emails and sometimes i delete from within the message. i have the settings set to delete from server when deleted from inbox. any thoughts?

    I have the same problem on MacBook Pro using os 10.5.8 with Mail 3.6.
    I discovered that if I look at emails that have been sent to trash select them and press delete they all come back. When I do the proper erase deleted messages then they don't.
    This might be useful on your iphone.
    I now have emails coming back to me weeks, or months after I have deleted them, particularly ones with photos attached that I have sent through Kodak EasyShare, and copied to myself!! does anyone know what I can do about this? apart from being a waste of time, I might receive 100 photos in one day which slows everything down and effects my data usage.

    WHEN I TRY TO ENTER ITUNES STORE IT COMES UP AND THEN GOES BACK OUT.  HOW DO I STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING?

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

    Every time my lg g pad 8.3 lte tablet is turned off it reverts the saving email attachment back to internal storage.  Every time I turn on, I change it back to save to SD card.  It stays that way until it is turned off for more than a minute.  If I do a restart, it holds the setting, but loses it when it is shut down for any period of time.  Does anyone else have this issue?  The setting holds for photos taken with camera storing to SD card.  Only the email attachment setting does not hold.

    I believe that system has a hall sensor on it to detect when the lid is closed so it can put the system to sleep and/or disable the monitor so it can be used with an external monitor only. If the sensor is marginal or has a bad cable, it may intermittently cut the monitor on and off, and may likewise put the system to sleep. One way to check would be to plug in an external monitor and if the laptop's screen cuts off or doesn't show up, start using the trackpad and press on a non-typing key like the shift key. If the external display suddenly pops and becomes active while the laptop display remains black, it's probably a problem with the sensor or the cable/connection. You might be able to fool the sensor into kicking on and off by moving a magnet over it. It's located on the left had side of the base with the unit opened up, and right over the audio output plug.
    I know of some people that put a small magnet right over the hall sensor's location so the laptop display turns off and they use the system with an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. If fooling with magnets, make sure they're small and don't get them close to the hard drive because a strong magnet can wipe them out.
    I don't know if this will help you much, but it might.
