multiple copies of sent email in archive or trash

OK. I send an email and then go to trash or archive and have a random number of copies show up as being sent about a minute apart, yet the send file shows only one email sent. This doesn't happen all the time. It occurs in gmail and aol mail.

What's up??

Mail on Mac drafts duplicating after sent I don't know how to stop this problem from happening. Using IMAP on Mac Sierra. Many, but not all emails get multiplied after sent. I don't use iCloud for mail. There is no option to turn off saving drafts on server, but after I delete them, sometimes they all reappear.

Multiple duplicates being created in Recovered Messages Following an email server upgrade from my ISP whenever I create a new email multiple duplicate copies of that email are created in Recovered Messages. It seems to create a new email about once every 30s for the duration you are editing the email.Apart from the space consumed the main issue is that search results are clogged up with loads of duplicates.I have tried to "rebuild" that mailbox but to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks!I'm using Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.4 and MacMail.

Mail always "Downloading" messages from Gmail My Mac air continues to show "downloading messages" all the time in email when there aren't any messages to download? Once it finishes, it stops. But then the next day, or at some near-future time, it does it all again. I've seen many discussions on it but cannot find a simple solution. Recently, I turned off the Archive mailbox thinking that would avoid that, but actually it made matters worse. When Archive was visible on the Mac, GMAIL only downloaded a few at a time. Now it appears to load an enormous number. Today it says it is downloading 28,000 messages, but on my GMAIL account, there are only 6,000 or so in the InBox, and "AllMail only shows 49, and Sent shows about 10,000. (Interestingly, following instructions from another thread, I turned off Archive, and said Move to Trash. After that, the "All Mail" number shrank significantly.) Honestly, even though I am tech savvy, at this point, I don't have a clue as to what I am supposed to do to have this Imap Gmail account work more normally. Why is it "downloading" 28,000? Thanks.
