[QUOTE="Greg_ghp, post: 1721300, member: 368077"] I want to thank you both for taking the time to respond to my post. Bob, you are right, there is an issue with POP Accounts in Mail, although I personally hadn't had a problem for years until it happened to me the first time last year, there IS an issue. "chscag" you also added another piece to the puzzle. Last night even after I found all those messages still on my server and deleted them, they kept showing up in my Inbox, with the unread blue dot... Sometime early this morning the light bulb went off and reminded me that I had not, even after reading several times, to check my message server, duh!!! Even though I have been on a regular basis telling "Mail" to delete the messages on the server it seems that doing so isn't working anymore. So I deleted them manually on the server but as I said above they still kept re-appearing. This evening after reading "chscag" response, I changed my Mail setting to "Delete Immediately" after retrieving a message!!! AND it's working! I still have a lot work to do to figure out what I can delete on my hard drive but at least the problem isn't still compounding itself. [B]So new question[/B], hopefully those that are reading this post have the answer, What "Mail" folders on my hard drive can I delete. I figure of course not the top level account folders and the main folder for mail boxes I have created but can I just delete the folders that contain all the duplicate emails??? I see "Ember1205" has added some additional info that I will check into in the future. I want to again, thank those of you who responded to my need for help.
