You have to go into settings and deselect that the message not be
deleted after you are through reading it. If you do not do that it
makes them unread messages all over again.

 Are ALL your messages duplicated and with that date, or just some? While I
 have not a clue, I would suspect a problem with the e-mail host.

 Just some

 I thought it was just on mail from a friend who uses Apple, but after a
 couple of days of just some of her messages duplicating that way, I got
 one from a friend who uses AOL, right behind the other one's message.
 Don't know if they were related, I failed to check if maybe it was a
 reply to one of the Apple messages.

 I didn't know if it was Microsoft or Apple related perhaps, since I'm the

Re: What causes duplicate messages?

2009-04-15 Thread Gregory Hicks
What causes duplicated messages?

One thing that I've found that RELIABLY duplicates messages is to have
your address on at least two of the To:, Cc, and/or Bcc: lines AND the
mail is processed via some flavor of MS mail handler.  MS seems to
process each of these lines separately and keeps addees on each line
separate.  MS doesn't seem to recognize that the To:, Cc: and Bcc:
lines are just for HUMAN convenence and has nothing to do with mail
handling.

What MS should do is to consolidate all three lines into one (w/o
changing the message itself), sorting the addresses uniquely, and then
initiating connections.  At a minimum, the MS product will make one
connection for each of the To:, Cc: and Bcc: headers.

Your address needs to be on a least TWO of the headers to get the
message duplicated.  If it is on all three of the headers, then you get
a message in triplicate.

Regards,
Gregory Hicks

Unless you are suggesting Seamonkey is problematic running under Mac 
OS, I doubt if there is any difference on what computer or OS 
messages originate.


While no expert, I believe seamonkey gets the time stamp for each 
message from the received e-mail (which has Universal Time ) and 
shows it based on your computer's time clock.


If your friend's computer's clock is really messed up, it would send 
a wrong time. I doubt any currently operating computer BIOS would 
default back to 1969, so it would have to be set intentionally.


sorry to say, but many people DO get messages dated 1969, including 
me.  Furthermore, just recently I've been receiving messages dated 
2033, 2050, and even 2075.




Don't know about 2033 but you will not have to worry about the two later 
dates!! Check out:-

It strikes me that some of the mystery could be cleared if 
Chicagofan would set the Seamonkey e-mail account server 
settings to leave messages on the server for a day or so, so 
that a look at the preserved messages in webmail could show 
how many times a message was received in webmail, and the

I checked and I have mail coming from many different  ISP's.  Today, all 
my new mail that arrived from about 1:45 am until 4:00 pm was 
duplicated, some of my messages that were already in my inbox also 
duplicated. I moved one of the duplicate messages to the trash.  The 
email I moved and the virtual duplicate left the inbox and caused a 1 KB 
message to pop into my inbox, right before my eyes, in the exact 
location of the email that was deleted and it is dated 12/31/1969.  When 
I checked the trash, only one message was there, the virtual duplicate 
vanished. When I moved the deleted message back to the inbox, the 1 KB 
blank message  disappeared.  This is strange.  Is there a way to 
eliminate the duplicate message all at once?

 I sense you are finished with this, so what I will add is 
 gratuitous. The signals that run on the internet actually 
 run around the world, over it and under it via cables, fiber 
 optics and satellites. West coast to east coast is irrelevant.

Unless you consider the time zone difference and how that might
affect the display of a date in one zone that was create in the
other :-)

 Are ALL your messages duplicated and with that date, or just some? 
 While I have not a clue, I would suspect a problem with the e-mail host.

 Just some

 I thought it was just on mail from a friend who uses Apple, but after a
 couple of days of just some of her messages duplicating that way, I got
 one from a friend who uses AOL, right behind the other one's message.
 Don't know if they were related, I failed to check if maybe it was a
 reply to one of the Apple messages.

 I didn't know if it was Microsoft or Apple related perhaps, since I'm 
 the only
 one who doesn't use MS based e-mail [except the 1 friend using Apple].

 Unless you are suggesting Seamonkey is problematic running under Mac OS, 
 I doubt if there is any difference on what computer or OS messages 
 originate.
 
 While no expert, I believe seamonkey gets the time stamp for each 
 message from the received e-mail (which has Universal Time ) and shows 
 it based on your computer's time clock.
 
 If your friend's computer's clock is really messed up, it would send a 
 wrong time. I doubt any currently operating computer BIOS would default 
 back to 1969, so it would have to be set intentionally.
 
 sorry to say, but many people DO get messages dated 
 1969, including me.  Furthermore, just recently I've 
 been receiving messages dated 2033, 2050, and even 2075.
 

Well, in some cases, the sender is specifically setting errant dates in
the hope that your (sorted) inbox will place them at the end you're looking
at.

This makes sense to me, because she's on the West Coast, and I'm on
 the East Coast.  That somewhere along the way fits, because it 
doesn't happen on all of her messages.   Thanks so much, I just 
wanted to be sure it's not something wrong with SM, since I haven't

 updated recently.

I was just thinking if it was someone nearby, there wouldn't have been
that many time changes, but I get your point about not really knowing
the route any mail will take.  :)



Not happening on all her messages could point to a bad local dial up 
or broadband connection, or field mice in the office of her ISP.


Eliminate your concerns for problems on your end by updating 
Seamonkey to 1.1.14. Click on the Seamonkey logo on the upper right 
hand corner of seamonkey screen. If you have broadband, the download 
is rapid and the install is seamless, once you double click on the 
downloaded file.


BTW, just what parts of 606 are you a fan of?



The whole city, or maybe I should say downtown.  Chicago is just my
*adopted* favorite city, that I have only visited on business, or brief
personal trips.  Love the Bears and the Cubs too.

I would have moved there if the weather didn't get so cold.
[I've lived in the south all my life and that was just too big an
adjustment.]:)

Thanks for helping me!

Stepping out of my total anonymity for two kilobytes...
Yas, yas, yas, it is cold here, down to minus 30 WCF last 
week. Twenty plus inches of snow in my back yard. My 
neighbor has at least 1000 pounds of icicles hanging off his 
roof and I am looking at a $1000 gas bill. Stay south, eh? 
You mis-pronounced two words --they are: Da' Bulz and Da' 
Bearz. Hey, how 'bout dem Cubz?

 why at the end?  Why not at the beginning? :-)
 

I said the end you're looking at. I see the smiley, but I guess I'm not
getting the joke. Sorry.
