Why does mail program show multiple copies of a message, in various stages of completion in the trash folder ?

I am using an iMac with OS 10.9.4, Mail 7.3. My mail trash file contains multiple copies of partially complete messages I've sent. This problem seemed to begin when I began using "Maverick".

I have this exact same problem.
32 copies of one email. 3 o4 copies of others…
Rebuilding the trash makes no difference at all.
Any other suggestions? I have rebuilt my other mailboxes as well.

  • Why does Mail keep showing that I have incoming messages, when I don't?

    ...usually hundreds via the "burning cigarette"!

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
    Envelope Index
    ExternalUpdates.storedata
    Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Warning: The process may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. For reasonable-sized mailboxes, it should only take a few minutes.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • When I import a compilation CD to my library, why does it sometimes show in my library under V for various artists and sometimes at the end with the other compilations? Can I amend this?

    I know how to import CD's but I have some compilation CD's that show in my library as Various Artists but other compilations in the library are at the end. As far as I can see, they are all ticked as compilations but I can't get them all in the same place.
    Anyone offer a solution?

    Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix split albums. For compilations of tracks by different artists set the album artist to Various Artists and also set Part of a compilation to Yes on the Options tab if using the old dialog box (hold down shift when you Get Info) or tick Album is a compilation of songs by various artists if using the new one.
    For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.

  • My iPad 2 Mail program shows an erroneous count of messages in the inbox.

    My iPad 2 Mail program shows a count of over 1600 messages in the inbox even though EVERY message has been deleted from every mailbox. Tried deactivating and reactivating Mail, quit/restart, all settings to do with removing messages from the server, and still have the erroneous count. Anyone have any clues on what I can try

    did you try a reset?
    first quit Mail by double clicking the Home button to get to the multitasking screen, then swiping the Mail preview screen upward off the top of the iPad
    then do a reset:  hold both the Home button and the Power button down for 10+ seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Let go promptly when the Apple logo appears and wait another 30+ seconds for the iPad to turn itself on.  No data will be lost.
    Also in Settings > Mail > your account > Advanced > Move discarded messages into ... is Deleted Mailbox ticked?

  • Why is apple Tv showing multiple copies same library

    I use Apple TV a lot but recently multiple libraries of the same account are showing when I go to my computer's tab in Apple TV. There is only one account configured on Apple TV but multiple copies of the same library are shown on screen, Library of My Name is listed at least 10 times and when I try to connect it sometimes won't work, telling me I have to activate home sharing in iTunes, when it is working, it looks to me it takes more time than the time I was used to wait for before all this happened.
    A reboot of Apple TV gets rid of almost all the listings but 2 or 3, again of the same account. My computer is an iMac 27, running Yosemite, iTunes and Apple TV are both up to date.

    I'm not 100% sure of the ins and outs, but it's some sort of known issue between Yosemite, Airport and wifi. All you can do is wait for a fix and keep restarting your equipment as and when needed, unless you have the ability to connect your Mac via ethernet.

  • Why does mail app show over 2,000 messages (not new) but only 10-12 in my inbox?

    So I recenly got a new rMBP and have begun using the Mail app. I've had a bunch of problems with Gmail and the app but my my biggest gripe is that it seems to have downloaded over 2,000 messages from the server (of which I have no idea where its getting them because I've deleted pretty much everything in trying to solve this to the extent of completely wiping out my email folders). I wouldn't have such a problem with it except that it seems like its actually downloaded the 2,000+ messages onto my computer, no dobt taking up space (and its mildly annoying to me to always see 2,514 to the right of the "Gmail" folder in the left window)
    I have tried emptying my mail completely including emptying the trash+deleting mail account from all apple devices and then restarting them before adding the mail account back.
    Looking in random folders to make sure I haven't lost my marbles and theres a stash of emails lurking somewhere...
    Again, deleting the accounts, powercycling the apple devices and then setting up mail again (just incase the first three times didn't work) and I'll mention that EVERY time I set up the account it imediately starts downloading the 2,000+ emails all over again (little windw shows up in bottom left counting down how many it has and how many there are left to go).
    Any advise would be appreciated- I know its not huge but its driving me crazy!!
    Just FYI I'm using the mail app simultaneously on a rMBP, iPad 4, and iPhone 5...

    Go to Gmail (on the web) look in the folder named All Mail, they will be there, delete what you want.

  • Why does my email show thousands(!) of incoming messages -- and more...!

    How come every day when I log in and open my mail, the bottom of the email screen shows thousands of incoming messages -- see attached. This happens every day. Today was the highest amount I've ever seen -- 452449 -- and it is still running closed the mail program because I was worried it would take up space on my hard drive if that many messages were really coming in.
    My normal messages appear in the in-boxes and a few junk emails. I've had gmail since it started, but even if it was downloading my entire history of emails, I doubt I would be anywhere near ten thousand.
    I use a few different gmail accounts and read the email on the Mail program on Mavericks 10.9.2 on a 2011 Air.
    Thanks!

  • WHY does Firefox repeatedly open multiple copies of tabs that are already open??? Yesterday I cleared the history, removed the program & reinstalled. Didn't help. Some tabs are ones I had months ago but don't need now. They keep appearing. HELP, please!

    The problem started several months ago, after I downloaded a new version of the program. Two updates ago, I think. The repeat tabs open multiple times during the day. Sometimes they appear hours after I've closed them--sometimes just minutes later.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • TS2972 Why does my library show on another computer even when my library sharing is off in the itunes settings?

    Ok in my setting all sharing with computers on my local conection is off....yet my fianes computer still can get into my library why?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    iTunes match doesn't provide movies or TV shows.
    Depending on where you are located you may be able to download purchesed content from iTunes in the cloud. Content that is streamed from your library obviously needs your computer to be on or otherwise it wouldn't have access to that content, there is no alternative to this.

    Why does Mail show my Yahoo account as offline? I have to use a different outgoing mail server as a result.

    Hey there Mike,
    It sounds like you are seeing in the Mail app that your Yahoo account is offline. Take a look at the following article to help you troubleshoot the issue:

  • N Mail, when using "reply all" why does Mail automatically include my email address in the cc line? Whey would I want to include my email address in an email I am sending.  Anybody have any idea how to stop this?

    In Mail, when using "reply all" why does Mail automatically include my email address in the cc line? Whey would I want to include my email address in an email I am sending.? Anybody have any idea how to stop Mail from including my email address in the cc line when using "reply all"?

    Automatically cc myself is not checked.  I did find out that if you have multiple email address that all of them need to be associated with "My Contact" tab.  Thanks

  • "open with" menu suddenly showing multiple copies of all apps - HELP!!

    Recently, the "open with" menu that pops up when I right click a file on my desktop has started showing multiple copies of all applications, and it's getting WORSE! It started out a few weeks ago doing this with one extra copy of only one application, but now there many, many copies of all apps - different numbers of copies depending on the app.
    This is somehow related to the fact that I have an external G-Drive USB connected, which I am using as my backup drive. I copied everything onto this drive using SuperDuper. When the G-drive is connected, I get the error message below  if I pick the "wrong" copy of an app. When I eject the G-Drive, I STILL see multiple apps, but get no error message, and any one of the app copies I select will open properly.
    IMac G5, PPC, OSX 10.4.11
    Thank you for any help!

    I'm glad you found a solution, please mark your post with a green correct, so that others can see the solution as well.

  • Why does my iPad show all my Hotmail folders but each empty except for recently received messages?

    Why does my iPad show my Hotmail folders but each is empty except for mail received since I activated my new device?

    Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.
