Dear Everybody

I have a new MacBook with aluminium case with Leopard on it. I use the Mail program coming with the OS. My problem is that when I send a letter to one addressee then in the activity window I can see more processes (2, 3 sometimes 4) as though it was sent to more recepients. After checking the recepient account, there is only one mail from the account I used from Apple.
I got another MacBook, basically with the same config, I use the same smtp server, but I do not have that symptom. Somebody has got a clue what is going on. Wrong config, virus or computer hacked ? I am totally new to OSX and Apple, thus any advice is very appriciated ! Thanks in advance!

I posted this reset in another post so follow the same steps for the affected account and see if it helps, Good Luck.


The best way to reset Mail (without loosing Saved email) is to write down you email account settings because we are going to blow that away. This way once you write the settings down you can easily re-add them once the reset comes.

1. Quit Mail.

2. Navigate to the folder /YourHardDrive/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ and find and trow the file: com.apple.mail.plist : and trow it into Trash Can.

3. Relaunch Mail and once it starts back up put back in the settings for you email servers.

Bonus is the something you probably never used. Once Mail is running go to Mail's menu item "Window" and in the draw-down will be "Connection Doctor" and it will a great tool for trouble shooting email server connections.

Good Luck.

P.S.: Is this an IMAP or POP account you are having trouble with?
