When I exit mail it tries to resend an old message

let me explain.....
I am using an applescript which runs at 05:05 each day to perform some actions on Omnifocus, when the script has finished I have it send me an email so that I know it ran - this all works perfectly and I get my emails each morning.
However, I have noticed that if at some point during the day I try and quit Mail it opens a new message window which is exactly the same as the message the applescript had sent at 05:05 earlier that morning - if I send the message it sends and if I close the message it closes. At this point I have still not quit Mail.
If I now try and quit Mail it does almost the same thing again but this time it is yesterdays message - this cycle just seems to repeat and each time I get a window for one day further back.
I have to force close Mail.
There are no unsent drafts so I really do not know where to look to solve this problem.
All help appreciated.

Mail is trying to resend over 100 messages from '05/'06

So, I recently switched back from Gmail to using Mac Mail, and I have been LOVING it. I have both a Mobile Me account (that I've had for years) and a Gmail account. Last night I sent an email (via Mac Mail, using my Gmail account) and when I went to the SENT box I saw over 100 ancient emails marked with that date and time (yesterday, 11:45pm).
The "Sent" mailbox on the lefthand side was showing the working clock/circle thing, so I hastily shut off my internet connection in case I was about to spam ex-boyfriends, ex-bosses and random people with hundreds of emails from 2005/2006.
Now I am terrified to reopen Mail. Understandably.
If I open it w/o an internet connection, all those emails are still showing up in "Sent" with yesterday's date and time next to them, but NO date and time in the actual email itself (if that makes sense.) If I click individually on the sent folders for gmail and for mac mail, these messages do not appear. Only if I click the overall "Sent" box for both accounts.
I checked with a few of the recipients and nobody actually received anything, but I'm wondering if that is because I halted the process.
Help? Don't want to have to go back to Gmail, but I wasn't counting on Mail making my life unspeakably awkward.

The Sent mailbox is not the origin point of sending, but rather the destination after sending. Since you seem to have set up your Gmail account for IMAP account (a good idea), what you see happening is Mail syncing with the server to recognize all the old messages you have sent, so as to be able to access them. Does not seem like anything to worry about.
Remember that with IMAP accounts the Inbox and Sent mailbox reside on the server, and not on your Mac unless just selected to keep a copy of Offline Viewing.

Si precisases de qué lugar de Adobe o de otro sitio has descargado....
Si indicases el nombre del archivo descargado,....
Respecto a la instalación, repito la lección de ruta es un paso, que puede pasarse por alto, aunque no sé si la instalación convencional reconoce una red entre varios equipos.
No hay ningun mensaje que indique que descargas una versión u otra, tampoco hay o sale ningun mensaje cuando instalas un programa en chino, eso si, al introducir el no. de serie (que no es el adquirido para la versión en chino) te dice que no es válido y punto. No más explicaciones.
Asi que por favor explicanos lo preguntado al rincipio, o vuleve a descargar la versión correcta, en el idioma correcto y desde un lugar oficial de Adobe.
Creo que Adobe te puede facilitar esa descarga a traves de la web "Licensing" con unas claves que te facilitarán si logras ponerte en contacto directo con ellos en tu país, (que tampoco sabemos cúal es). Suerte.

When I open mail I get a list of the messages received but when I click on a message it does not displaying the main window. I have 2 different mail accounts

Just bought a new MacMini(my first Apple PC) and when I open mail I get the brief details of mail received but whe I click on the message to read the details I get a "loading" sign but the message is not displayed.
Any help for a Dumbo would be appreciated.

Very strange, do you have any AV or Web filtering apps like Norton installed?
Do the working accounts use a different Port or Authentication than the non-working one?
The receiving email ports are:
IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995

Have updated my mail but i cant import my old messages as i am told that I do not have enough room on my HD but when I deleted files and movies an hour ago and now it says i still don't have room.

Did you empty the trash (click on Finder) after deleting the files/movies?

Mail migration assistant did not upload old messages in inbox during upgrad

The mail migration assistant did not upload the contents of old messages stored in my inbox for mail in panther to tiger. It uploaded drafts and sent mail messages and even the husks of the messages themselves into the new inbox but not their contents, not the information contained in the messages themselves. I see that the old messages are accessible via spotlight but only their external identification remains in the new inbox, not what was in them. Is their anyway to rerun mail migration assistant or the mail setup assistant (whatever it may be called) so that it uploads all of messages from my old inbox under panther to the new inbox under tiger? I believe that while running initaially soon after I launched mail for the first time under tiger, the migration assistant for mail quit early, maybe because I had many messages stored in my inbox.
So my basic question is, is it possible to rerun the program that migrates mail from the old inbox under panther to the new inbox under tiger? If it's not, is it possible to first of all empty out the current inbox with its group of the external skeletal remains of messages but lacking their substance, the information contained in them, and then refill my current inbox with the entirety of the message, i.e., not just its identifying information, its external identification (from whom and about what), but also what the message at one time contained? In each of these messages it only has this bit of information: "The message from 'such and such a sender' with 'such and such a subject' has not downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it." But of course I am online. The online bit I supose the message is about is the being online with the migration assistant, and that's the being online I would really like to go back to I suppose, before it seems to me this mail migration assistant quit on me prematurely, without uploading or downloading, whatever the term, the entire content of my inbox with its batch of received messages. In the process, it did, however, capture the entirety of my drafts and sent messages from their particular boxes.
Please help. How can I redo the migration step from panther mail inbox to tiger mail inbox so that my mail is in its inbox and reachable there as opposed to apparently being searchable by only spotlight?
Thank you.

I am having a similar problem. I just upgraded from 10.2.8 to 10.4.3. It didn't go well (a USB peripheral interfered)and I ended up upgrading while archiving users.
There was no 'restore users opportunity'. I have done a lot manually, which is painful...in fact reminiscent of why I don't like PC's. Anyway, I was able to locate and restore almost all the mailboxes, including a bunch of deleted files from the 'Previous Systems' folders. I still haven't found the secret location of all the email that was in the "Inbox".
I would greatly appreciate it if someone in the know could share where and how to restore my old inbox so I can get my important emails back. Hacking or magic software...what ever it takes.
Thanks

HT1430 My iphone 5, when I press mail, keeps trying to send 15 or 20 messages over and over. How do I get rid of these unsent messasges?

My new iphone 5 (I'm a new user too) keeps try to send 15 to 20 emails. I think it's always trying to send the same emails that I'm unable to send. It won't stop doing this every time I hit the mail icon. How do I get it to stop? Or, how do I delete those messages so they don't take up my time and space on the phone?
Thanks.

I have the same problem, those "deleted" drafts always appear in notification center.
I don't like the solution by erasing the contents/settings and restoring from backup. I simply "clear" from right corner in notification center, but not sure if that "clear" function is just a cover-up, or it actually deletes those weird drafts.

I use three Google buttons- and one or two don't get saved on exit. When I use my Google Mail button, the mail and news buttons are always hidden when I exit mail and Google Directions button often gets displayed. Has happened through at least three versi

Google Buttons Get Hidden
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I installed Firefox a few months ago.

I found the solution at the Google support page. Google buttons might either change or disappear if Google Toolbar is set to access Google Toolbar settings everywhere. Change that setting to local computer only takes care of it. (So Far.)

Mail set up also resends out old emails

I have an Outlook.com account that was originally an msn.com account that I've just redirected to Mac Mail. The msn/outlook account is 11 years old.
When I hit "Get Mail" it is downloading all inbox emails from my server, which I expected. But it is also for some reason resending old emails, starting from 11 years ago. I stopped the process until I can figure out how to avoid this. The emails are not showing up in my Mac Mail sent folder. I'm not sure where they're coming from or how to stop them. I only know about it from two people who received these old emails from me.
Can anyone explain this and how to avoid it in setting up Mac Mail?

Okay I found out some more information about the emails that are being sent out.
There was one point where someone set up Mac Mail to temporarily retrieve the business emails for a photography business, and put in an automated responder with an out of town notice. Something about the responder didn't work ~ it started responding to old or deleted emails, something like that. So the rule was deleted, the photography email account was deleted and all of the emails were deleted from Mac Mail. But something unusual is happening ~ it looks like that out of office response is being sent out now as my Outlook emails are being imported into Mac Mail. These appear to be the emails being sent out now. The sent mail is not appearing in my Mac Mail Sent folder, but it is appearing in my Outlook Sent folder.
Is there any way to clear Mac Mail out completely, from the Library folders or somewhere that is not in the application itself? Or can I reinstall it somehow to clear out this old glich that seems to be still stuck? How do I get rid of these back end issues?
Thank you.

Mail crashes if I click on old messages while receiving new

Mail has really become sensitive after the 10.5.2 update.
1. Crashes after showing the beach ball, if I have the nerve to begin using Mail while its still receiving new mails upon launch.
2. Crashes if I use a layout in an outgoing mail and have my digital signature enabled. Won't send. Just crashes after a while.

Mine has just starting crashing over the past few days. It will only stay open for about 10 seconds, and then it quits. I've run the console to see what is happening and this is what I get. Anyone know what this means?
I'm left stranded not being able to use my mail and it's come at a really bad time - in the middle of a number of big work projects.

Upgraded to tiger, mail gets hung up on importing old messages.

I had my pwrbk tuned up and upgraded to Tiger. All files were swept onto a dvd for back up and just plopped back on again after the install. When I click on mail to 'mail' it wants to import my "existing Mail messages into the new version"... so I 'continue' as it requests and (sighhh) it procedes to import (sighhh) my 4500 or so (who's counting) messages. It gets hung up on #1363 (which I believe is in the 'sent' folder) and the time remaining keeps increasing...- I mean - I gave it a chance - the battery (brand spank me new) ran all the way down AND we plugged it in too ... it happens every time. How to bypass this import without deleting all my old emails and just excise the offending hanger-upper?

The conversion from Mail 1.x to Mail 2.x is broken. Even if Mail didn’t freeze while importing, there is no guarantee that it would import the old mailboxes successfully. Take a look at the following thread for an example:
Just upgraded, Most of my old Inbox is gone!
You could apply the procedure described there to the mailboxes that Mail appears to be choking on. Alternatively, you could move the entire account folder out of ~/Library/Mail/ (to the Desktop) and manually import its mailboxes afterwards as Other.

Had to reset my Mail now I can't see old messages anymore. How do I retrieve them from my files?

My Mail suddenly stopped downloading mail from my sbcglobal (yahoo) account. I followed the suggestions found in another thread here. Essentially I copied the Library/Mail folder to my desktop, removed the plist file to my desktop, then reset my account. Mail now downloads from the server but I cannot retrieve the messages that were already in my inbox before I followed this process. Can anyone tell me how to get them?

You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it.
If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
(For info you've posted in the Using iPad forum.)

Mail will not let me delete old messages

I am unable to delete or move messages using iMail. They simply come back after I try to delete them. They delete on the iPhone but not the Mac

Hello hawghead,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I found another user that posted the same question previously, and marked a reply as to solving the issue:

Mail crashes when it retrieves mail from POP server

I'm using Mail version 2.1.1 on OS X 10.4.10. I have two e-mail accounts each on a POP server. I've been using Thunderbird, but Mail does a few things that Thunderbird doesn't. The only problem is that if there are a lot of messages to download, Mail just crashes. As an example, I have a good 600 messages in one of my mailboxes (because I don't like to delete messages from the server if I have room to keep them there). I just added the account to Mail and it wants to download every single message on the server, so it gets about 5 to 50 messages downloaded and then crashes. I don't really need it to download all those messages, so is there a way to tell Mail to only download messages that I get after the date that I add the account? or will I just have to use IMAP?

Does Mail really crash (i.e. quit unexpectedly) or does it freeze (i.e. become unresponsive)?
You cannot prevent Mail from trying to download all the messages from the POP server, but Mail shouldn’t crash when downloading them either...
Try the following to check whether the junk filter could have a bearing on it and post back with your observations:
1. Either tell Mail to go offline immediately after opening it, or shut down your Internet connection and open Mail afterwards.
2. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail and disable junk mail filtering.
3. Go online again. Does Mail crash now?
Another thing that may cause Mail 2.x to crash while retrieving mail is using Address Book smart groups in rules and/or in smart mailboxes. The only workaround I know for that is getting rid of any rules and smart mailboxes that make use of AB smart groups.
