Emails mixed up

Here we are in 2017 and this problem is still happening. I have this issue on my iMac where the email looks like it comes from one sender (Dwell in this case), but when you click on the email the sender it is another (Express). I did a 'rebuild' of the mailbox but that didn't change anything.

I haven't installed iOS8 yet on either my phone or iPad. I have the same problem in my iPhone 5 but not on my iPad2. I'm to sure how long it's been happening because I don't often revisit trashed emails. I'm concerned my phone may have been compromised while other SIMs were being installed on a recent overseas trip.

It isn't just iOS. I have had the same trouble in the past couple of weeks with Mail running on my MacBook. The subject for one email appears over the body of another, and vice versa. This is from a Gmail account, so perhaps the issue is one of others I've noticed involving Apple Mail and Gmail — for example, messages marked by Gmail as junk sorting into my Junk Mail instead of the folder where my Mail rule should send them.

For any interested Apple employee, I'm running Mail version 7.3 (1878.6) on OS X 10.9.5.

Unfortunately I do not have an idea. I hope that Apple monitors these discussions, will notice the issue, and fix it if that is not already in the works.

And for those Apple employees, may I add a wish for a focused effort on improving Gmail compatibility across the board.

It sounds like the mail app is corrupted. To reload it, you'll need to reload the entire system ...

Thank you for that idea. I did a quick search and found there is a Rebuild command in the Mailbox menu for the desktop version. I tried that, and I'll see whether it works. Thanks again.

If you want to get this to an Apple employee, you won't do that here. This forum is EXCLUSIVELY for "users helping other users" and Apple Support does not keep track of issues here or interact. If you want to reach Apple, they have several ways ...

Mail (Mavericks): Rebuild mailboxes

That only works on the desktop version and for things that are scrambled inside that program. It doesn't do anything for the server. SO ... that means it will not work for anything in the iOS Mail app. You can also delete that mail accout on your iOS app and it will rebuild the information again, once you enter your mail account information back in again.

Aside from that, if it's a scrambled "mail app" itself, you'll have to replace the mail app, but you don't know if it is or not, until you check this other step.

I have started experiencing the same issue using Yosemite. Will try the rebuild guide and report back.

You've got the wrong forum for Yosemite as iPad doesn't run Yosemite. Look through the list of forums and see if you can find one related to your issue.

Ah, whoops, I only replied here as it was a related issue I was experiencing. I will search more thanks.

Hi when I search for a name or email address in mail- i get a string of different email trails included in the search. If I cut and paste an email address into the mail search bar I should only get that email address as results but I have several other email addresses which are totally random appearing in the results as well- it has only happened since the latest update but is driving me mad

I had the same problem with all the emails in my gmail trash folder...I went to my mail settings, deleted my gmail account, restarted my phone (just in case, would probably work without this step), then added my Gmail account back in, and now it's fine! Hope that helps!

I Initially noticed this problem in the trash folder, but now I see it's also happening in other folders I use to organize my emails.
