Mail 3.6 downloads multiple copies of emails from my pop account

Since I auto-upgraded to Mail 3.6, Mail is downloading multiple copies of email from my pop mail account. This did not happen before and I haven't changed any of the mail settings. I have read discussions about a similar problem with an earlier version of Mail and the solution seemed to be deleting some file linked to Mail so it could be rebuilt, but I can't find such a file on my system that I could try deleting.
It may matter that I am not 'strictly' supposed to be using os x 10.5.8 on my powerbook G4 (according to what is said on the packet).
Help please!

@ 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!

Why does Thunderbird keep retrieving the same emails 2 to 3 times from my hotmail that I already retrieved?

It's not always exactly like this but here is example of the problem I'm having;
In the morning I open Thunderbird and it automatically retrieves the new emails from my web emails Hotmail and Gmail (that's good).
In the afternoon, when I open Thunderbird again, it will retrieve the same emails from Hotmail that I already got in the morning (that's not good).
Sometimes when I open Thunderbird a third time, it will again get those same emails from Hotmail (That's frustrating).
Note:
1) This only happens only with the hotmail account, not the gmail account.
2) The second and/or third time I open Thunderbird is not necessarily the same day, it could be the next day or next time. I just used the morning/afternnon example for ease of explanation.

I have the same issue. I have not followed it up, Hotmail is such a rubbish service these days and I am sick of dealing with support there. They simply do not understand mail or it's protocols. They only comprehend "Microsoft" and their scripts. I just moved on the GMX.
But I am guessing something there is broken. Perhaps it is not moving the mails to the POP folder in a timely manner. But I am seeing exactly the same thing. And it is not always either. Windows 8 uses IMAP so they really do not care if POP works or not. They would probably prefer not.

Why does my iPad 2 only store emails from the last 3 or 4 days?

Why does my iPad2 only store emails from the last 3 or 4 days? I have it set up to store the last 1000 messages but I can't seem to keep them...

What is the account type - POP, IMAP, or Exchange?
If a POP account, are you also accessing the account with an email client on your computer? If so, what is the account setting for removing messages from the server after being downloaded with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account?

Why is Firefox downloading multiple copies of "Silverlight.dmg"?

Every web page that opens seems to want to download another duplicate copy of Silverlight, even though I have the latest already installed., I'll look at my download file, and I'll have 50-100 copies for the day. Every day.

Still, still, still, trying to find a solution. My downloads folder fills right up with scads of Silverlight.dmg files. Here is from just this afternoon (I cleaned it out just a few hours ago!):
"Silverlight(53).dmg
Silverlight(5).dmg
Silverlight(4).dmg
Silverlight(3).dmg
Silverlight(2).dmg
Silverlight(1).dmg"

The past few days my Mail app has started downloading multiple copies of e-mails from all pop servers. This is only happening on my Macbook not other macs. Deleting mail from server does not help. I ran ClamXav found 2 viruses deleted problem continues

opps. Long title there... The past few days my Mail app has started downloading multiple copies of e-mails from all pop servers. This is only happening on my Macbook not other macs. Deleting mail from server does not help. I ran ClamXav found 2 viruses deleted those. Checked for software update and installed suggested downloads. Problem still contintues. Any suggestions?

Folks,
even after having repaired the inbox folder under "properties" a few times, I still had some e-mails where the contents are different from the subject line.
In other words in the inbox there are two e-mails: one with subject line "abc", and another one with subject line "def".
When I display the e-mail with the subject line "abc", the contents are from the e-mail with the subject line "def" in the in-basket.
What else can be done to correct this problem?
Thanks and best regards.

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 does the Download Firefox doesn't offer me a language choice iso immediately deciding I have to like downloading it in e.g. Dutch because I'm e.g. in Brussels-a cosmopolitan city?

Why does the Download Firefox doesn't offer me a language choice iso immediately deciding I have to like downloading it in e.g. Dutch because I'm e.g. in Brussels-a cosmopolitan city?
When going to firefox.com and clicking the download button, immediately I get directed to the dutch / Nederlands version of the site and I only get the choice to download Firefox Dutch/Nederlands.
I want the English version. Wouldn't it be better to ALSO have an option to select the language, wherever the software detects you're getting your internet connexion from?

As people posted, You can select whatever language you want instead at the [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html Systems & Languages] link below the download button.

Aria2 does not download multiple files at a time

I'm trying to speed up my system upgrades by using aria2, but it won't speed up anything as it does not download multiple files at a time.
As per this wiki post, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Im … erformance , "using aria2", I've installed aria2 and added the line
XferCommand = /usr/bin/aria2c --allow-overwrite=true -c --file-allocation=none --log-level=error \
-m2 --max-connection-per-server=2 --max-file-not-found=5 --min-split-size=5M --no-conf \
--remote-time=true --summary-interval=60 -t5 -d / -o %o %u
to the options section in pacman.conf. Pacman still works, but it isn't sped up. When pacman -Syu'ing, a normal line shows:
#1 SIZE:1.3MiB/2.0MiB(63%) CN:1 SPD:50.0KiBs ETA:15s
What's going on?
P.S. I use the line reflector -l 5 --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist before doing a system upgrade.

Using aria2c will download files over 5MB with multiple connections but will not download multiple files at the same time. Pacman calls aria2c with the first url, waits for it to finish, then calls aria2c with the second etc...
If you want to download multiple packages simultaneously, see http://xyne.archlinux.ca/projects/pacman2aria2/

HT1725 Why does the download start again for the start. I only hve access to a 3G wifi connection so one tv episode had cost me about $10 I'm download costs because of several interruptions.

Among the alternatives not mentioned... Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.

That is likely due to your software firewall not allowing access. Do you receive any specific error messages? Which operating system are you using?

Where are the pictures coming from? I would more likely believe that your system has a virus than photoshop, but without more information, I could be misinterpreting your post.

Why does my iPhone 4 keep sending emails instead of texts via iMessage?

This was driving me crazy but I've cracked it!!
Go to: Settings, Messages, Send & Receive. My mobile number was greyed out and wouldn't allow me to select it. My email address was highlighted but it also allowed me to "Add An Email". I selected my current email address and it gave me the option to delete it. Once I deleted my email address, it automatically reverted to my mobile number!!
Hip hip hooray. I can relax at last.

We need a bit more to go on than that please.
Have you tried to reboot the app? Double tap the home button, when you see the previews for the apps on the screen, scroll sideways if needed to bring the mail app up on the screen. Flick it up and off the screen to close it. Then single tap the home button or tap on the home page preview to exit the mode.
If that doesn't work, try to go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars, delete and then re-add your mail info
Beyond that we need more details to go on to offer help.
