Why do i get 2 copies of outgoing mails in my sent folder

I have used one e-mail account (eclipse.co.uk) for years. I recently added two more. With one (Hotmail.co.uk) whenever I send a message I get two copies in the 'Sent' folder. This does not happen with the other accounts.
On the third account (plus.com) some of the incoming messages appear twice in the inbox. This doesn't happen on the other accounts

I made a big mistake ! I am using Thunderbird Mail not Firefox.
I took your link and found an answer to the two messages in the Sent folder but didn't see anything about duplicate incoming messages.
I recently transferred to Plusnet. On the first day 5 messages to me on my new address, all from them, only appeared once. Subsequently all messages from them appear twice. Messages I have sent to myself only appear once.
Thanks for your help - sorry about confusing the original request for help.

  • Why are multiple copies of outgoing mail saved in drafts folder?

    It looks as if these are being auto-saved every 5 minutes. How do I fix this?

    If it takes you longer than 5 minutes to compose a message, you will get more than one copy saved to Drafts. You can change the time interval in Options > Composition or uncheck "Auto Save every X minutes".

  • How do I keep copies of outgoing mail?

    how do I keep copies of outgoing mail?

    You can go into settings and mail and scroll down to 'always BCC myself' which sends you a 'blind copy'....meaning the recipients don't know you've sent yourself a copy.
    alternatively some e-mail interfaces, like yahoo, allow you to access the advanced settings and keep sent mails in a sent folder. What you can/can't do depends on the way you access the mail, because my hotmail, for example, doesn't allow me to keep sent mails but yahoo does.

  • Outgoing mail isn't sent when connected to some wifi networks

    Although my outgoing mail goes out just fine on cellular networks, and on my home wifi, outgoing mail isn't sent when connected to some wifi networks.
    I use the apple outgoing mail server.
    What is unusual however is that my outgoing mail address is not from a standard domain.   I have my own.
    Could it involve an spr record?

    Do you have a wireless network at home and Is the email account provided by your internet service provider associated with your wireless network?
    Most, if not all internet service providers block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP being used for your internet connection at the time unless the SMTP server is authenticated. The same applies when connected to the internet via the cellular network. Recieving is not a problem regardless the ISP being used for your internet connection at the time.
    If the email account is provided by your ISP, most ISPs do not have an authenticated SMTP sever for the email account they provide.
    Both my email accounts have an authenticated SMTP server and I've never had a problem sending with either account regardless the ISP associated with a wi-fi network I'm connected to at the time or when connected to AT&T's cellular network - for 2+ years aporoaching 3 years this July.

    Simply enter the configurations menu from settings, go to personal config and the account should be listed there, select options and delete.

  • Why do I get a error saying mail was unable to find your reply. You may have deleted message.

    when sending email, I sometimes get an error stating: Mail was unable to find your reply to:  You may have deleted message. This does not happen with every sent message but it is doing it more and more. The reply is no where to be found.

    You posted in a 4 month old dead post. 
    You would do better by posting a "New Topic" in the OS/Mail forum area of which os you are using.  You will need to indicate which version os you are using as well as which version of Mail you are using in order to get the proper attention to your post.  This will help the users reading your post to suggest solutions.

  • I don't want copies of outgoing attachments saved in "sent" mailbox. Tried Attachment extractor and it sort of worked and then deleted a big bunch of emails.

    I have been using Thunderbird for a few months and after a while it started doing really weird things. I found out that it was 98% full according to the progress bar at the bottom.
    I downloaded attachment extractor add-on and it worked ok and freed up space and NO percentage or progress bar was shown for a while until of course it filled up again after just a week or so.
    All I want to do is stop Thunderbird from saving a copy of the outgoing attachments in the "sent" mail folder. It's totally unnecessary as I keep the original files in a folder and don't need another copy. I specially don't need copies filling up space and causing Thunderbird to make a big mess.
    Is there a way to change settings to do this and if not PLEASE tell me why there is not.
    It makes much more sense to me to have the option of NOT saving exact copis of every outgoing attachment.
    It also saves the signature file, a separate copy for each outgoing email. This is silly and also absolutely unnecessary.

    I see now that there is a check box near the attachment window that can be used to NOT save a copy of the attachment in the "sent" folder.
    Thanks.
    Just one thing else I noticed that after checking the box ALL options for message text etc. are grayed out so it is best to check box after completing the message body.
    Thanks again. It saves a lot of space. Now it's just the 1000's of junk mail every day eating up all the space. I should likely set it to automatically delete junk mail after a couple of days but I'm not sure if I accidentally mark good mail as junk sometimes so it's good to keep it around for a while just in case something has to be unmarked as junk. I don't know how I could get to the junk list if the junk mail is deleted.

  • Why is outbox not visible WHILE a mail is being sent?

    When I am sending mail, the outbox is not visible.
    The only time it appears is when there is a problem with the outgoing email and it gets 'stuck' - THEN I have an outbox.
    Is there any way I can make the outbox remain visible, in case I have made a mistake, and wish to stop a mail from being sent after I have (accidentally or otherwise) clicked on 'send'?
    I have a feeling that when I was running Tiger, the outbox was always visible.
    I cannot remember what happened on Leopard. I am now on Snow Leopard.
    thanks

    Click on Window in the menubar while in Mail, and choose Activity. This will bring up a monitor with a Stop button. Several seconds is not long sometimes. Watch the monitor while trying to send -- take note of the time spent connecting to the server versus the time spent transmitting.

  • Mail 2.1: "Sent" folder lost its content - how to get it back?

    Hello:
    I've scoured the forum, but couldn't find an answer to my pb.
    After a series of crashes (that I couldn't explain), my "sent" folder cannot reconnect with its source folder in ~/Library/Mail.
    This is probably because I trashed the preferences folder (including the Mail plist) to troubleshoot the crashes, which worked.
    Within Mail clicking on any message in the "sent" folder gives this mesasage:
    The message from xxxx <[email protected]> concerning “Carnival2: script” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it.
    1-Is there a way to force the Mail app to repair the lost link to the "source" "sent" folder (in Library)?
    2-How does one force-download the sent messages from one's web host's servers?
    Thank you very much

    You haven’t answered what type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)...
    Report the names of the files and folders present at the first level of the ~/Library/Mail/ folder in the Finder.
    In order to post the exact file names and avoid typing mistakes, proceed as follows. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. With that folder open, if you’re looking at it in View > as List mode, first collapse any expanded folders so that the Finder only shows the files and folders at the first level of ~/Library/Mail/. Now, do Edit > Select All (⌘A), then Edit > Copy (⌘C), and paste it in your reply to this post.
    Before actually posting that information, edit it so that the file/folder names do not reveal any details you should keep private, e.g. replace any real username with “username” to hide your real email address. Try to be consistent in how you disguise those details, though, as we may need to refer to them in subsequent posts.
    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.

  • How do I delete 132 e-mails in the sent folder that I can't see?

    My 'Sent' folder is showing 132 e-mails in summary but when I click on the folder itself, nothing is visible! The folder appears empty.
    Also, my e-mail application is occupying 2.0GB of space on the iPad. How do I reduce the size of the application?
    Many thanks!

    Close the mail app completely, and reset the iPad. Closing the app and resetting may allow the emails to reappear and/or it might reduce the email storage on the device - assuming that something is out of whack.
    In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Sent mail disappears from Sent folder - VERY ANNOYING!

    Sometimes when I send mail it does not appear in the Sent folder, or appears very briefly before disappearing.
    This is really annoying because I have no copy of the email to send it again, and have to check with the recipient to see if they got it. It happens fairly regularly but I haven't noticed any particular pattern. The lost mail does not appear in Mail on my Mac or on the MobileMe web version. Sometimes it reappears later on.
    Does anyone else get this problem? Any clues as to what might be going on? Seems a fairly fatal flaw for an email application.

    Hi Mike,
    Here's what I would do...
    Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), off the HD & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions.
    In your Home folder. open Library folder, open Mail folder in that, look for the Envelope Index, and drag it to the Desktop.
    Then in your Home folder. open Library folder, open Caches folder in that, look for the Mail, and drag it to the Desktop.Move Envelope Index to the Desktop in...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Move this folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail
    Reboot.

  • Can't get rid of outgoing mail

    This message actually was sent, so why it is still "loading" is
    beyond me.  I've tried rebuilding the mailbox, I've control clicked on
    the message to delete it and I still can't get rid of it.  Any thoughts would
    be greatly appreciated.
