Back in September of ‘25, I got tired of logging on my iPhone and purchased an iPad mini. Straight away -at least I’m pretty sure it started immediately- I noticed that I was getting duplicate emails when forwarding the log(s) from the iPad. Regrettably, I couldn’t remember if that was happening on the iPhone as well…
That doubt was eliminated this morning when I realised I’d left my iPad at the house. As such, I can confirm that I do not get duplicate emails when forwarding from the iPhone. When I got home, just for fun I send myself an email (on the iPad) from outside of PoLo and received only one email.
Given that the PoLo app and code is identical on both iPhone and iPad and the device is the only thing making a difference here, could you check the default mail app settings on both devices and perhaps reset them?
I think, in this context, Ian is using the word “forward” to mean he his sending to himself so that he can retrieve from his desktop email client. A lot of people seem to not like using cloud services. They are not absolutely required if you want to just email the log even though it involves slightly more handling steps.
Correct. At the end of an activation, I’ll just email the log(s) to my desktop (Win 10) back at the house. I like to look over the log before submitting it to the POTA/SOTA servers. I’ve often spotted missing P2Ps/S2Ss at this stage. Then it’s just a matter of using ADIFMaster to make quick adjustments. *True enough: I could just as easily do the same thing right from within the PoLo log itself. Six of one, as they say.
Just saying.. You introduce more steps by doing it this way.. on your PC you have to open an email, navigate to a folder, then save the attachment, then you are good to go opening with ADIF Master.
If you, instead, share with a Cloud folder (same number of steps on your device), all you have to do open the file on the desktop, … no opening navigating and saving steps required.
I’d look at your email config. PoLo is not doing the sending; all we’re doing is passing a file to your email app, which in turn does whatever it wants with it.
I mean, it’s not impossible that for some reason, some contents of our files cause double sending? but my bet is on the email app itself.
Yeah. After just a bit more thought, I think you and Beau are correct -gotta be something misconfigured within the iPad. Tnx. I also think we can consider this thread closed ;).
