Cannot delete incoming & read emails, after one spam msg!

Hi there,
I received a marketing message 3 times that I cannot delete.  In addition, ever since receiving this message, I cannot delete any of my incoming email messages now, nor move them into trash or junk. They keep coming all back.  Any advice is greatly appreciated as my inbox will overflow soon.

Hi,
First, You should quit Mail (I'm assuming that's what you're using from what it sounds like)
Second if that doesn't help, click "Window" > "Activity" check to see if there's a process going in there and you can stop the process.

  • I use MAIL to retrieve my email.  One spam email will not delete.  HELP!  How do I get rid of it?

    I use MAIL to retrieve my email.  One spam email will not delete.  HELP!  How do I get rid if it?  This is on an iPad2.

    Try this. Don't open the email. Swipe across it in the preview window and a red delete button will pop up. Use that to delete it. You can delete it from the trash the same way if needed.

  • Cannot Delete Adobe Reader 9 Installer after failed download

    I tried to download Adobe Reader 9 and the installation froze around 83%.  After multiple attempts I tried downloading an older version (Adobe 8) and it worked but the installation folder for Adobe 9 is still on my desktop and it will not let me delete it. I have already tried using the Windows Install cleanup tool but it did not work. Any other ideas on how I can get rid of this installation program?

    Thanks.. I managed to find a way to make it work.. I had no Adobe Reader in my list of programs when I went to Start | Control Panel | Add/Remove..  I took a  chance and deleted Acrobat.com.. that allowed me to reload the latest v of Reader.  I hope it didn't mess anything else up.

    Subject: Cannot Delete Adobe Reader 9 Installer after failed download
    I had same situation. Was able to delete by the following: (don't know why)
    In Windows Explorer dragged the Adobe AIR folder from Desktop to another folder (which
    removed it from the desk top display). Then just deleted it from the other folder.
    Hope it works for you.

  • Automatically Opening Next Email After One is Deleted

    On the iPhone 5, when I delete an email, the next email automatically opens. Is there a way to change the settings so that after deleting or reading one email, it will bring me back to the main email screen / list rather than open the next email automatically? Thank you!

    No, but you can delete emails from the Inbox by clicking Edit > selecting the email and then tapping Delete, you can also delete an email by swiping your finger across the email in the Inbox and then tapping Delete.
    If you want, you can leave Apple feedback here -> Apple - iPhone - Feedback

  • Cannot delete file from disk after emailling that file like attachment

    After i send some file from disk in Mail like attachment i cannot delete that file from disk unless i quit Mail. Like Mail is still using a file. Of course, that mail is in Sent mail, not in outbox.

    This deeper than that. I created another account on the same iMac and it works in Harmony with my other devices and Documents in the cloud. I can only imagine the icloud account is somehow corrupted (I am on my macbook not iMac at the moment). There have been no updates to the Calendar, Contacts or Documents since early January on that account. I have spent 1hr on the phone with support and they were baffled as well. Only thing I can gove as insight to the problem is this, I was on the Mac Mini which was backed up on Time Machine. about 4 or 5 months ago I had to completley restore the Mac Mini becasue of the never ending circle on the load screen. The Backup failed to work it kept loading the issue and 4 or 5 times the circle of death kept coming up I would subsequently wipe the Mini and go further back in the back up until I go a copy that worked.  I then loaded the Time Mache back up into my NEW iMac and wnet from there. It took about a month for this problem I am detailing above to start happening. It maybe a corrupt file loaded from the backup into the new iMac causing this problem. Best answer I can think of on my own???

  • HT1937 i have old email address that is being used on my apple id and i do not know password I also have another apple id created but when I go to the istore it shows my pld account and i cannot delete and setup the right one

    No, "My Number" was not listed in my Phone menu, I had to manually type it it.  Is there a way for that number to automatically be listed in that "My Number" spot?  Would that maybe have something to do with my phone number not being listed as an option in the "Send and Receive" spot under messaging???

  • Cannot delete incoming email

    Unable to delete incoming email.

    Ok. I found a solution. It makes your current trash inaccessible, but allows you to move forward with trashing messages
    go to Home > Mail > POP-xxxxx(your-email-addy)xxx >
    and move the file named "Deleted Messages.mbox: out of the folder.
    Restart computer.
    The old subject lines are still in your trash, but they will not open.
    But now you can delete your current messages.
    BEFORE YOU DO THIS..... You might try (in Mail) moving all your trash to a new folder named 2010Trash (or something) -- that might give you access to your old TRASHED messages. I can live without mine, so I didn't do this...

  • Cannot delete or send email

    Help I have spent countless hours and days trying to get my 3g phone to delete and send email. It will not do either. I have deleted the account and put it back on countless numbers of time. Tried every trick that is out there. Wifi on Wifi off, Stmp account on and off Sync'd to outlook and not to outlook,
    I reset the entire phone, no help.
    Why have this phone if I cannot get email? It just stopped working one day. Have deleted all the email from my outlook account on my laptop. I cannot delete one message from my phone. It returns like the living dead. I have been unable to send a message for weeks. In the middle of typing the screen just closes.

    Welcome to the discussions,
    did you try to restore the phone "as new iphone" without using the backup to restore your settings? Your backup may contain corrupt files causing your problem.
    After restoring to factory settings, replace the account info on your phone with the one on your PC during the next sync, using this option in the info pane, advanced section.

  • New Update Will Only Allow Me To Read Email From One Address

    I have 3 separate email accounts on my iphone. Before the update today (Oct 7th, 2013) they all were sent to the one inbox together, or I could access them individually if needed. Now, I only have access to emails from one address. I have notifications on my homepage of unread email but cannot access them, I even sent a test email from one adress to the other and I didn't get the email. This is all after I evenutally figured out how to add my address options back in to the 'from section' when writng a new email. Frustrating when it was such a good system before and now everything is messed up. How do I get all my emails from my different address back into the one inbox?

    It seems to have worked itself out, emails back to normal - Yay!

  • Image/content cannot be display in email after ISO 7

    Image/content cannot be displayed in email for iPhone 4 after update ISO 7

    Gary,
    Thanks so much for your help!
    The facebook link is now working for the client...unfortunately the Paypal link does not.
    After testing it on other Windows machines with no problems, I am starting to speculate that it is something unique to her setup. I'll have to keep testing I guess and see if any other errors come up.
    Thanks again Gary for the very helpful suggestion that solved at least one of my problems!

  • My Iphone cannot receive nor send email after updating to 1.0.2

    After I update my Iphone to 1.0.2, I cannot receive nor send email with all accounts (yahoo, gmail). I dont know why? I have read some topics here about sending email but nothing for receiving email. Do I have to change any setting? Please help. Thank you.

    Try deleting the accounts and setting them back up again on the iphone.
    If that does not work, here is an article from the apple support website that might help.

  • Cannot delete a draft email

    Hello,
    I am having trouble deleting an email saved as a draft. I have tried: editing and then delete, swiping the name of the email and delete, opening the email and using the trash can. Nothing works. As soon as I hit delete, the mailbox closes and I am sent to my home screen.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance,
    Sue

    On further examination .....
    .... Drafts handling in Mail is totally hosed. Failure modes described above confirmed,plus several more. I have a fairly complete picture of how and when it fails, and have passed that along to Apple already. Below are quick notes on how you can deal with it for now. Caveat the following with the fact that it's only been tested with my MobileMe accounts.
    A. If Mail is working correctly and you create a draft, do not try to delete that draft if it's the only one in the list. Bad things will result from either method of deletion.
    B. Drafts #2 and onwards seem to cause no problems if they are deleted, using either method. Again, this assumes that Mail was operating correctly at the time the new draft was saved and, adgain, don't delete the top one.
    C. Once Drafts moding is 'killed' it can die in any number of ways and may, or may not, crash Mail. Mail will then continue to run poorly for extended periods, and typically will not successfully save new drafts.
    D. The single best indication of Mail running poorly will be a continual "Getting new mail" sort of message displayed at the bottom of the sidebar. You'll also notice when trying to save a draft that you will not see the normal spinning progress wheel appear momentarily at the top of the sidebar.
    There are several different ways to regain normal Mail functioning., summarized as follows:
    A. Force Quit the app, holding Home down with red OFF slider visible, or
    B. Force Quit the app from the Recents List, or
    C. Do a Hard Reset, following reset instructions in the User's Guide.
    After doing this and re-opening Mail, you may see drafts which have disappeared re-appearing in a Compose window. They can now be saved to Drafts and it will work (note spinning progress wheel at top if sidebar).
    Now, don't futz about with it. Just leave the draft there, the top one for sure, and all the rest of them just to be safe.
