Hi everyone, first post here, so I hope my etiquette is okay!
I've been having a number of problems with Apple Mail for a while now, and I'd really appreciate some fresh eyes on the issues (which I concede are likely down to operator error):
1. I was in MobileMe some time ago when a wizard asked if I would like to Sync my mail accounts - it sounded like a good idea, so I said yes. Somehow or other this has caused my accounts to duplicate themselves in Apple Mail - I didn't pay enough attention clearly...
2. I have a number of email accounts hosted with a third party web company on my own domains, and because the spam has gotten out of control I had to start using Gmail to filter it all to stop the spam going to my iPhone (100 SPam per day).
So, my problem is that every email is imported multiple times and my inbox is now out of control. I'd love to get everything out of it, delete out all the accounts properly and rebuild them carefully as IMAPS as opposed to POP3s.
Is there a way to get all the mail out to somewhere I can sort through it at leisure? And is there a way that I can stop spam reaching my iPhone so that I can go back to just using Google as a single account?
Or, is there a way to send email from Apple Mail via my domains via Google? You know, when I send email from Google via one of my other accounts it says sent on behalf of XX by Gmail.
I hope this makes sense and that someone can offer inspiration - I am so frustrated at myself and the problem!
Many thanks for your help
Cheers
