  • Emailing photo using MS Exchange Server sends multiple copies of the same email

    Emailing 1 photo using Microsoft Outlook Exchange server sends multiple copies of the same email and photo.  50+ at last count.  Also, since I emailed the photo to myself, then deleted these multiple copies from my inbox and sent items, my work Outlook exchange server will no longer sync.  Is there a solution for this? 
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    Thanks for your reply. 
    I have restarted multiple times.  I have also removed and re-added outlook exchange email 3 times.  This only affects exchange server email.  I can send the photo from my gmail and it only receives 1 copy.  I was wondering if this was a known issue and if someone had a fix for it.  Otherwise would have to wait for the next WebOS update.

  • Searching mail shows multiple copies of the same email

    I use gmail through Mail, and I noticed there are multiple copies of the same e-mail (on further inspection, it looks like the copies are at different stages/edits) show up in my Trash folder. Is there any way to stop this?

    The same thing just happened in my Blackberry gmail folder... I sent an email from my computer and 20 copies showed up on my phone.

  • Apple Mail sending multiple copies of email. What's the cure?, Apple Mail sending multiple copies of email. What's the cure?, Apple Mail sending multiple copies of email. What's the cure?

    Recently, my Apple Mail has been sending from two to six copies of email, timed to the same minute. I've taken to using Thunderbied (which I don't prefer) to avoid it. My theory is that if I can reload Lion it might cure it, but since Lion only comes as a download, I don't know how.
    I've had MacKeeper in place since before the problem, but updating it became impossible. I emailed that program and was advised to trash it, do a cold reboot and then download it again. I did, and it hasn't helped.
    Any suggestions?

    MacKeeper is so bad, it has earnt the distinction of a User Tip of it's own
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3036
    After dragging the app to the trash, you will need to clean up using something like  AppTrap, AppZapper, AppCleaner etc. The official MacKeeper uninistaller leaves advert popups still appearing on your computer.

  • Why does Mail send two copies of my emails?

    Why does Mail send two copies of my emails?
    Thank you.

    I'm experiencing this issue also. Just one user where I work, Mail in 10.9.3 and Office 365. In-house users only receiving duplicate messages, i.e. the same message twice. Any idea why or how to fix this?

  • Why am I getting multiple copies of a single email?

    I'm using Yosemite 10.10 on my mid-2012 iMac.
    I've noticed that I'll often get multiple "copies" of the same email. E.g., this morning I received an email that was forwarded to me as a contact through one of my weblogs. In the Mail Inbox for the specific email account the same email appeared three times.
    I've noticed this same behavior in other email Inboxes (different accounts) in Mail.
    Any idea what's going on?

    This may have to do with the server, what kind of email are you using, and is it a group email?
    Can you please provide steps you are taking with a little more detail as well? It may be a known issue, but I do not know.
    I look forward to your reply!

  • I have tried a lot to find an app or some way in email to attach multiple of pdf files in one email. I could not find anything that sends multiple pdf file in one email and still keeping the file in simple pdf format for the recipient.

    I have tried a lot to find an app or some way in email to attach multiple of pdf files in one email. I could not find anything that sends multiple pdf file in one email and still keeping the file in simple pdf format for the recipient.

    I am not aware of a way except for photos that allows you to select multiple files in an email. I even checked settings in the Adobe Reader app, and it does not show that ability.

  • Why are there multiple keychain records for same email account?

    I have noticed that it takes sometimes up to 45 seconds for Apple Mail to send (whoosh...) an email. Then I started getting an alert asking for my password intermittently.
    I checked my KeyChain Access and note 5 records for this email account dating back to 2007 and while the password hasn't changed in all these years, I note the "Where" field is different in some of these records. So my uneducated hunch is Apple Mail is getting a little confused and having to go thru all 5 records insteads of just one.
    As note multiple records for other email accounts and website logins I have.
    1. Why is this happening?
    2. Is it normal
    3. Can I, should I, delete all but one for each item be it an email account or web login, etc.
    or
    Should I delete all 5 and let a brand new one be created for Keychain next time I send or get email for this particular email account?
    I also see there is some info on keychain syncing. Does this have anything to do with my situation?
    Thx,
    Steven

    I'm a little distracted with Steve's passing. He will be missed to say the least
    But if it isn't too disrepectful to reply at this time, I'm unclear with your advise because there are 5 items all for the same email account. A couple are duplications, and the others have slightly different "Where" info.
    I can't imagine I need all 5 and wonder if I should delete 4 and keep the newest one?
    All my email accounts have multiple entries.
    Anyone know why this is happening and if it's OK to delete the oldest ones and keep just the newest?

  • Is there a way to send multiple pdf's in one email from iBooks?  I have several that I've saved that I need to send to one person. If it can't be done directly, is there a work around?

    Is there a way to send multiple PDF documents from iBooks in one email?  I have several that need to be sent to one person and can't figure out how to send more than one at a time. If you can't, is there a workaround?

    Warehouse that PDF on your own server, then link to it from your book.

  • Search in Mail yields multiple versions of the same email

    I wasn't able to find any other postings on this, but this has been bugging me for a while now . . . just not big enough of a deal to do anything about. Whenever I do a search in Mail, the results give me multiple versions of the same email, in different stages of completeness. Is there some setting that I have inadvertently turned on that keeps back ups of my draft emails every few seconds? Anyone else have this annoying problem?

    I too am having this problem. Doesn't seem to happen all the time though. No rhyme nor reason ? I am using an IMAP account if this helps ?

  • Automator. Need to send multiple photos each by one email.

    Hello everybody.
    Help me please to create a task in Automator.
    I have 500 images of JPEG 12-15 MB size and I need to send each one to [email protected] one by one email.
    Since some mail servers have permit of size attachments not more than 20 MB - I can send only one image per one email.
    So the steps simply are:
    1) New mail
    2) enter email address
    3) add attachment (number 1)
    4) send
    Next
    1) New mail
    2) enter email address <<< same email
    3) add attachment (number 2)
    4) send
    Etc...
    Best regards,
    Art Fry.

    I had a similar problem and created a service to attach from finder to a new email and then I changed to Outlook and had to update it to do the same in outlook.
    open automator
    Under choose template select "service"
    At the top of script side will be the option "Service receives selected" set to "file" in "you can choose any application but since I only want this in finder that was my choice"
    select the mail program in automator so that the related actions are shown.
    if you use Mac Mail
    first select New Mail Message by dragging into the script.
    2nd select add attachment to front message.
    if you use outlook
    first select Create New Outlook Mail Message
    2nd Add Attachments to Outlook Messages
    save the scripted service with an appropriate name such as attach to email.
    From then when you right click in finder the option to "attach to email" (or whatever you named it) will be shown to activate your script.

  • Failure to send email using gmail server

    I am using gmail account and I use thunderbird to download all the emails and to compose my emails. Now I'm trying to write a java application that will send out emails. Since I'm still in school I am using gmail account for the class project.
    One t hing I noticed is that in my thunderbird I use secure connection using TLS. How should I incorporate that here in the java code. Is that why I'm getting the exception. Anyone knows any other smtp server using which I could submit my assignment.

  • Mail Delivery Subsystem sends multiple copies of returned mail

    Since installing Leopard, I've sent several messages (usually with attachments) that are undeliverable to the recipient. Problem is, I get dozens of copies of the same "Returned mail: see transcript for details" message, last time about 80, each with multiple MB attachments, and the net effect is to slow Mail down quite a bit. Very annoying. This has only happened to one specific recipient who is with sbcglobal.net, but I'm not sure if its their problem, or mine.
    Any thoughts? Obviously, I've stopped sending messages to that particular address, but it may occur again.

    @ Tokyodj
    Thanks very much for posting this. I was having slightly different issues than the people above - only one of my two POP accounts was being constantly picked up, and I had hundreds of versions of each email... strangely, even after I went to the (Yahoo) account and deleted all the emails out of there. Your solution worked perfectly.
    Thanks again!

  • Mail sends multiple

    Everything was fine until:
    The last 3 messages I sent responded, "Why did you send me the same message 22 times"
    After I click send an error appears stating a problem with the smtp.
    The messages never leave the OUT BOX.
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.1.x)   15" Flat panel

    What problem with the SMTP server does the error message indicate?
    Is this email account and SMTP server provided by your ISP used for connecting to the internet or other?
    Regarding the the last 3 messages sent 22 times problem, move the existing messages in the Outbox mailbox to the account's Drafts mailbox.
    Quit Mail and using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > Mailboxes > Outbox.mbox.
    The Outbox.mbox represents "Out" in the mailboxes drawer and is shared by all accounts if you are accessing multiple accounts with the Mail.app.
    Delete the Outbox.mbox and empty the Trash.
    Launch Mail and a new Outbox.mbox will be created automatically by Mail within the Mailboxes folder.
    If there is a problem with the account's SMTP server - settings or otherwise, this will not resolve that problem.
