Why does my emails keep downloading after deleting them?
Info:
Mac OS X (10.6.8)
I am using an iMac with Snow Leopard 10.6.8, which has Mail 4.5 on it.Since yesterday, my Mail application will no longer download e-mails. When I open it, the little tray in the corner says it is downloading message 26 of 26, but after it finishes, nothing happens. No new Mail has been downloaded. It keeps doing this, even after a reboot (I have double-checked that the order of my Mail hasn't changed, and it isn't just showing at the bottom).
Today, I removed my Gmail account from Mail, and added it again. I entered my Gmail username/password. Once set up, it proceeds to download e-mails (downloading 1 of 26). The thing is, it has shown this constantly for the last 20 minutes. I don't even have big recent e-mails.

I was deleting all my emails from outlook express. I did something wrong (I think I might have hit smart mailbox or something to that affect) and now I only have the bar at the top - nothing else - do not know how to fix or restore. Email account is still good - I can access it on laptop - no problem

My mac mail program keeps downloading the same emails off my yahoo server over and over again. It should only be downloading ones that it hasn't downloaded before. That's the way it has always worked and something changed suddenly. It also changed for my "Entourage" email program.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using a new 24 inch IMac. I just decided to use mail 3.5 vice thunderbird and have had a number of issues (To me, the program seems incredibly buggy which shocks me)...I have been able to work through most but here is a minor annoyance I cant seem to figure out...
When I delete an email from a list of emails, I want the next email that is highlighted to be the one that is the next one down, not the one that is the next one up. How do you establish this preference?
I just set up my iCloud account and now I receive emails to both my Cox account on my Mail app on my Mac Pro AND on my iCloud account. How do you set it up to where if you delete emails off your Mail app on your Mac it will also delete that same emails off your iCloud account?

I have Mac Mail setup to delete all emails after one month, this includes the Sent, Junk, and Trash. However Mail is only keeping one week's worth. I use iCloud as my sole email account. This issue has been occuring for a few months now.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI tried to email a video as an attachment to 5 recipients. I did this 5 times in a row with different videos attached to each. They got jammed up and never went out. I deleted them on my macbook pro and they do not show up in my outbox. Now I can't send or receive email on either my laptop or my iphone. My iphone worked for awhile, but now no. I think I need to delete them on the 'server'...
View 1 Replies View RelatedBought a new 13" Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display back in June, and ever since I set it up, I've been having issues with mail. Both issues relate to deleting messages, so I figure they're likely related.
First thing is, sometimes when I delete emails, close the program, they magically reappear in my inbox when I reopen mail.
The second thing is, if I close mail right after deleting an email, it gives an error message like 'The message “...” could not be moved to the mailbox “Trash — On My Mac”' and 'An error occurred while moving messages to mailbox “Trash — On My Mac”.
This never happened on my last Macbook Pro, which was the mid-2009 model, even though both laptops run Mavericks. I'm assuming that it's some setting that I'm not aware of causing this issue. I thought it was the fact that my iCloud account was set up to work with Mail, but I turned that off, and it's still doing this.
One of the funny things I've noticed, is that under Mail Activity, it will say "Incoming messages 12 of 48" or whatever number at the time, even when there are no new messages. It never did this on my last laptop.

I have recently updated OSX from 10.4 to 10.5 via archive and install,
and I copied the old mails into a new user account.
However, in doing so, "mail"shows all mails twice and I cannot erase them anymore.
I was trying to change my mail account from POP to IMAP. Had to delete the account. After creating the account again, I found out that I lost all my emails files, Inbox, sent items, etc...Is there a solution te recuperate all these emails ??

Today it suddenly started downloading old emails that are more than 3 years old. And not just a few but thousands!
What can I do about this?
I was using X-Mail Notifier on my Firefox web browser, but it no longer works. So, I wanted to use Mail for managing my emails accounts. But, I have a question:
How can we configure Mail and preventing it from downloading all our emails which have been received for years? I just want it starts downloading my emails from today, not from 5 years ago...
Im trying to clean out my hdd, and found 10GB of archived mail. I have my gmail setup with IMAP, so i have a copy on googles servers of everything. How can I delete these archives without deleting the copy on gmail? I just want to start fresh on my end, and leave everything save on the server.
View 24 Replies View RelatedI use Yahoo mail (have been for about 8-9 years). I now read my mail through the web, download it to Mail on my iMac, iPhone and now iPad. I like using the native Mail applications on each device rather than going to the web, but I use the webpage when I'm at work. When I want to delete mail that I don't want. I do like leaving it on the server so I can check old e-mails from any location. Is there a way to manage all of this so I don't have to delete about 20-30 unneeded mail messages from 4 different places? It becomes pretty annoying seeing that same message that I deleted twice before show up on another device (along with 100 others) if I don't check a device for a few days.

I've got limited hard drive space. In gmail, I keep my inbox pared down to just a few emails I'm actively working on (ie 3-10 emails at a time). Everything else gets archived. However, when I try to set up Mac Mail for gmail (as described on 50 different websites), my computer starts downloading thousands of emails - my sent mail, anything I've tagged, etc. I don't want all this. I just want the few active emails (my inbox) at any one time.
I've tried mapping folders in Mail (ie Use this folder for....), but can't seem to pare it down to just the inbox.
I know this issue is kind of old, but there are so many flavors of it, that it is hard to find exact match. I've been having problems with single account, and it happens that this account has admin rights. Emails get pulled/deleted from user's mailbox within 10 secs after arrival. There are no other devices that may be pulling those emails, however, I've noticed something strange in the logs:
Jun 4 13:47:43 osxserver dovecot[173]: imap-login: Login: user=<xxxx>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=192.168.0.123, lip=192.168.0.123, mpid=406, secured
I don't know if this event is normal to run on server itself, but seems it runs only for this one account that I'm having problems with. There is no imap client setup on that server, and based on my time stamps observations I'm pretty much convinced that's what's deleting my emails.
I bought a IMac and had preloaded ilife apps ready to be downloaded in purchased tab and accidentally deleted iphoto and imovie. How do I get them back?

When i right click a single item to delete, the only option i appear to have is to delete everything there. Surely this can't be right?
My issue, every time i try to delete a file, my mac keeps asking me to put in my password.. Is there any way to stop this from happening.I do not have secure empty trash enabled and its not just when i try to empty trash, also when trying to send files to trash.
