Try re-indexing the mailboxes. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

TS3276 Deleted mail keeps returning

I have recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. In MAIL Gmail All Mail I keep deleting and removing from Trash but the messages keep returning over and over again.

try rebuilding your mailbox. it may just be that your local storage has gotten out of whack with the online storage; rebuilding should fix that.

Deleted mail keeps returning gmail

Deleted email in Gmail keep returning after I delete them from my junk mail. I'm running Mail Version 7.3 (1878.6) and OS X 10.9.4.
I've seen older posts on the Apple Community pages outlining the same problems. I've tried the various solutions: CMD X (cut), delete/reinstall Gmail, delete originals from Gmail account, etc. None of this works, and the now the list of old/deleted emails is growing by the week.
Anyone got any ideas? And why did Apple never address this problem in any of its updates?

See the comment by Stephen Adams in this thread, and by William Lloyd in this thread.

My deleted mail keeps returning to my in box, even if I delete my trash.

I have my inbox at the minimum amount of mail in settings. also to remove my trash after one day. Mail keeps coming back to my inbox even though I delete it manually from trash. drives me crazy.

I didn't mention this is on an ipad2.

Why does my mail get returned from some email addresses

When I send email to one particular email address, even though I have not been blocked, the email gets bounced back to me. Why is that and how can I solve it?

The mail server returns the mail as not able to be delivered and tells me it is a permanent error. The email address is correct. I have been given another company email address to send to and that has the same end result. I am not blocked by them and all my other emails are being sent to their destinations. What else can I say?

Why does yahoo mail keep freezing?

Deleted Mail keeps returning to INBOX - please advise!

Please help me. I am trying to clean out my inbox because it has gotten out of control, I have over 4000 messages and I am trying to delete them in bulk.
This is what I have been doing: I highlight messages then select delete. Then, I go to the mailbox menu and select permanently delete messages - i have been doing this periodically throughout the entire process.
Then, at some point Mail quits unexpectedly. When I reopen the application ALL of the messages that I thought I had deleted are back!!
Any advice would be most appreciated.

Assuming this is a POP account and you can somehow manage to do the following without Mail crashing (you may take Mail offline to avoid new mail being downloaded while you try to fix the problem), try this:
1. Create a custom “On My Mac” mailbox (Mailbox > New Mailbox).
2. Instead of deleting the messages you don’t want to keep, move the messages you do want from Inbox to this newly created mailbox. Make sure that they are transferred correctly and you don’t miss anything.
3. Quit Mail.
4. In the Finder, go to the ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/ account folder.
5. Locate INBOX.mbox and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted after fixing the problem).
6. Open Mail. A new (empty) INBOX.mbox will automatically be created within the account folder.
7. Move the messages in the “On My Mac” mailbox back to Inbox if that’s where you want them to be.
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.

Deleted mail keeps returning

when I delete messages in mail they keep coming back 3 or 4 times.I have rebuild mailboxes , but that doesn't help.
Any other suggestions would be welcome.

Check to see if you have the option "Store deleted messages on the server" enabled. You can find this under Preferences->Accounts->Mailbox Behaviors. I was having the same issue with emails popping back up after I had deleted them. Unchecking this checkbox resolved the issue. For some reason if the deleted message is being stored server side, the flag isn't being thrown that the message was deleted. As a result, the server thinks it's still valid email and continues to serve it to you. I still think this is a problem on Apple's end, because this behavior was occurring across all of my emails accounts: iCloud, GMail and private servers. So it's not the provider, it's the way Apple Mail does things.

Why does apple mail keep running on my system, i never use it

My macbook pro runs Lion, the latest version.
For some reason, apple mail program starts up, and it is a program I have never used, nor do I plan to.
I made a trip into the store and they did a quit, but of course, that doesn't solve the problem.   No real
answer for why its starting, who/what starts it, and how to prevent it.
Each time its running I have to click 2-3 dialogue boxes before it will let me quit, and it prevents the machine
from going to sleep if its running and I'm not aware of it.
Apple told me they were using the mail program to synch between the iphone and the machine.   Although I did
install cloud, I do not use it. My machine has so many problems, ever since I bought it, and I have had so many
trips to the apple store, without real explanations or solutions.   What has happened to the great produce we
knew and loved?    Complexity and the post-modern era are upon us.
I have logged 71 hours of tech support time on the iphone, so I no longer work on trying to solve that problem.
I actually work for a living and have no time for this.   The sad thing is I am in a position to recommend products
for my employer and some major new budgets in the health sector. I loved my mac for years and years.. always
buying a mac, making arguments for macs when all around me had pc's, etc.    Now I am starting to doubt the mac.
I hope that by participating in the mac community there will be some simple answers, and I don't have to spend HOURS
of frustration for things that should not be a problem in the first place.    We bought apple one-one, but the website never
works, and although they told me to call to make the appointment, it is just the general number and there is 45 minutes
of scratchy music with someone who does not know how to make one-one appointments....
Sorry to ***** and moan here....       I'm sure I'm not the only one having these frustrations.

etresoft, I think you are being unnecessarily harsh to gloriastitz. She is frustrated and doesn't understand computers at the level you do. What she is experiencing is frustrating, so she is frustrated. I have been a help-desk professional for over 15 years now, and emotions are part of the business.
I know it has been over 6 months since gloriastitz posted her reply. I hope she got a useful answer, but I fear we have satisfactorily scared her away from seeking help.
So, the first best response to tell someone is that the problem they are experience is almost certainly fixable, but may require more information to solve. You tell them you understand their frustration (even if you personally don't experience frustration or don't understand why people my express frustration publicly about a problem that frustrates them). It's just good protocol.
Then you work with the person to break down the problem into steps. If you don't have a ready answer and don't think you might even know the answer with sufficient data, then back out and leave it to others to tackle.
I've been having a similar problem with my Mail program. The cause is still unclear to me after vieweing the logs and changing settings where I know them to be. There appears to be a setting that is not clearly placed in any of the typical UI locations for initiating the desired action for either a feed: or mailto: call.

I think you are. This is not a place to rant and complain. It will just encourage people to give you unhelpful responses. If you want to complain, go elsewhere. If you want help, ask for it.
For example, can you explain what those dialog boxes actually say? Regardless of who is starting Mail, it will not prevent your machine from sleeping.

Why does my mail keep saying "Cannot get mail"

Synced my Yahoo account with my phone and recieved mail for a few months. About three weeks ago I recieved a message when I open my Mail app that says "Cannot Get Mail - The connection to the server failed." I also received an email that said "Recently, we have detected some unusual activity on your account and as a result, we've temporarily locked it for your protection. You may unlock your account immediately by logging in on a PC. If you have additional questions, please visit us at ___ to get the help you need. Sincerely, Your yahoo customer experience team."
I logged in to my account on my laptop and everything seemed to fix itself and everything was fine when I get on my computer but I am still not able to get new mail through my phone. It still keeps giving me the "Cannot Get Mail" message on my phone.
Any thoughts?

Hello Perry0130,
It sounds like you are getting a message that your password is incorrect after you changed the password for your email account. I would try these 3 troubleshooting steps from the following article to help troubleshoot the AOL account connection:
iOS: Troubleshooting Mail
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899
Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Restart your iOS device.
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Choose the affected email account, then tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Why does my mail keep getting knocked offline?

About every 5 or 10 minutes my mail gets knocked offline. The window pops up asking me to re-enter my password. I put in the password and ask it to remember, or I can cancel it. Same result about 5 minutes later it does it again. I have to go in to "get mail" to get back on line. My wife shares the same dsl line (thru a router) with her p.c. and is not having any problems.

SBC is having problems with some of their incoming mail servers, not all.
If you call SBC, they will tell you OS X and the Mail.app isn't supported and this is an OS X or Apple Mail problem only.
Baloney.
SBC's server problems are affecting Windows and Mac users with various email clients so you need to ask SBC when they expect to have their server problems resolved. Knowing what I've heard abount SBC, they will tell you it will be fixed sometime today which they have told countless other customers over the last several weeks. It appears SBC still hasn't resolved their server problems.

TS3276 Why does my mail send an email from a different account form the one selected?

Hi,
I have several email accounts configured in my mail app.
For no reason it started sending email from one of my accounts with another email address, so when people reply to my email (from a particular account) it goes to another inbox and I sometimes miss it.
Any tips?

In Mail>Preferences>Accounts>you can set Each Mail account to "Use Only This Server" located at the lower right of the window below, which you specify once. Then the Mail app will not have a choice of server available to pull those shenanigans.
Hope this helps

Why does my 4s keep returning tot the boot screen (apple logo) when I press the home button to see the lock screen?

3 or 4 times since I first fired up my iPhone 4S yesterday, it has displayed the boot screen (apple logo) when I press the Home button to display the lock screen. After 10-20 seconds the phone displays the lock screen, but at that point it has to search for a cell signal (as if the phone just booted up), which takes another 20-30 seconds.
Is anyone else having this issue?
Another thing that has happened only once, but that seems related, is that when I clicked the lock button on the top of the phone, the phone displayed the spinning circle that usually displays when an iPhone or iPad is shutting down.
Any ideas on what MIT be causing this?

Disk repair hasn't worked as well.
I just wanted to add a quick observation: after I tried the TM restore for the first time, Safe Boot in verbose mode seems to be stuck at this line "VBoxAdpDrv: version 3.1.0 r55467". This may point to the problem being a Virtual Box problem.
I use Virtual Box extremely rarely - haven't used it in many months. After a re-install, I'm going to remove it and then try the upgrade. If it works, then we've probably found the culprit. If it is real, Apple should maybe add a line saying Virtual Box known to cause problems with this upgrade (or fix it ).

Deleted emails keep returning

Why do deleted emails keep returning on my mac? I use Mavericks OS.

Gmail makes it difficult to permanently erase messages.
Go to Gmail's web interface. Delete them there. Search in All Mail, select them, delete them, empty Gmail's Trash. Do this recursively until you can no longer find them anywhere.
After this it will take your iMac's Mail some time to sync with Gmail.
Then, examine your Gmail account settings in Mail. Verify that you have instructed Gmail to eventually delete messages.
Example:

Why does my emails keep downloading after deleting them?

Why does my emails keep downloading after deleting them?

It sounds like you may be "synced" to an IMAP email server with your ISP. You would need to go into Mail>Preferences and set the messages to be removed from the IMAP server after some period of time so they don't redownload to your computer. That's one possiblility. Another is if you are synced with iCloud, then the mail is stored on your iCloud server backup and will redownload until you remove it.
Hope this helps
