Why double emails in mail app

The frustration of duplicate emails in the Mail app!

There are several reasons why you might be experiencing duplicate emails in the Mail app:

  1. Syncing issues: If your email account is set to sync multiple times, it can cause duplicates to appear. Check your account settings to ensure that syncing is set to a reasonable interval, such as every 15 minutes.
  2. Multiple email accounts: If you have multiple email accounts set up in the Mail app, it's possible that emails are being duplicated across accounts. Try merging or deleting duplicate emails to resolve the issue.
  3. Email forwarding: If you're forwarding emails from one account to another, it can cause duplicates to appear. Check your email forwarding settings to ensure that they're set up correctly.
  4. Email client issues: Sometimes, the Mail app itself can cause duplicates. Try restarting the app or checking for updates to resolve the issue.
  5. Server-side issues: In some cases, the issue might be on the server-side, causing duplicates to appear. Try checking your email provider's status page or contacting their support team to see if there are any known issues.
  6. Email client configuration: The way you've configured your email client can also cause duplicates. For example, if you've set up rules or filters that move emails to a specific folder, it can cause duplicates to appear.
  7. Third-party app integration: If you're using third-party apps that integrate with your email account, it can cause duplicates to appear. Try disabling these integrations to see if it resolves the issue.

To resolve duplicate emails in the Mail app, you can try the following:

  1. Mark as read: Mark the duplicate emails as read to remove them from your inbox.
  2. Delete: Delete the duplicate emails to remove them from your inbox.
  3. Merge: If you have multiple email accounts set up, try merging the duplicate emails to remove them from your inbox.
  4. Check for updates: Check for updates to the Mail app to ensure that you have the latest version.
  5. Reset email account: Try resetting your email account settings to their default values.

If none of these solutions work, you may want to consider contacting your email provider's support team for further assistance.
