Delete re-directed mail (POP server) to see it grey out but not delete!?

Hello,
I'm using MacMail as a host for my Hotmail account. The problem I'm having is that when I chose to delete some messages they (Sender/ Topic info) grey out and do not leave my inbox. I cannot clear these and its frustratingly filling-up my inbox with ghost messages. I have deleted them from my Hotmail account so I cannot understand why they appear on my Mac Inbox.
Any suggestions at how to resolve this would be most gratefully received!
Thank you all!
Matt

Right then...
I've just spent ages looking online and having tried a few things before I thought this final attempt to be futile...
Anyway, a bit of ad-lib and here goes!...
1. Open up preferences (within Mail)
2. Preferences ---->Accounts---->Mailbox Behaviours : Uncheck 'Move deleted messages to a separate folder'.
3. Close this dialogue box and save changes
4. Menu bar---> View---->Show deleted messages
5. Find these 'orrible messages and delete them!
6. Go to trash and make sure there is nothing here.
7. I went between Inbox, Trash and Sent folders and deleted all I could
8. Go back to preferences page and re-check the 'send deleted messages to separate folder'
9. Select hide deleted messages (for future messages).
10. At this point, they are all gone. Let's see if that's the case when I next log in!
Hope this helps
Matt

  • Why i keep seeing email on iphone, even after i deleted it directly from the server?

    Why i keep seeing email on iphone, even after i deleted it directly from the server?
    This means it doesnt sync the server inbox, only keeps pushing new emails!
    How to force it to realy sync every time the server inbox, and just show me in the iphone inbox exactly what i see in the server inbox???

    I'm just fresh in iOS, but dont think its a POP/IMAP matter.
    Always used mobile push email apps on symbian and android with POP and never had this issue.
    My usual former scheme is:
    a) My main email client is Outlook at my laptop (POP). This one is the master email client and after download new emails deletes them at the server.
    b) My secondary is a mobile email client (also POP) - just to see whats going on and maybe reply here and there.
    Meaning, laptop does cut/paste and mobile does copy/paste
    So:
    a) If i download a new email first using my laptop, it will never be pushed latter from iphone (its not there anymore).
    b) If i download a new email first using my mobile app, and only then download it with laptop, it is still there available, and then gets deleted at the server.
    c) If i download a new email first using my mobile app and if i manualy delete it and then perform another sync, then this email is deleted at server, and will be no more available for download to laptop.
    Resuming:
    1- The laptop ask to server what's in the inbox, downloads it all and then order the server to kill them all.
    2- The iphone only ask whats new and downloads it all.
    3- The iphone SHOULD ask server what's new, AND ask server what was removed from server inbox since last sync, AND tell server wich emails were removed at iphone since last sync.
    As far i remember, at least one symbian app called Profimail does all this quite perfectly...
    Any ideas?

    I just upgraded to Lion today and realized I'm not receiving any mail. I can send out but not receive. I am using a POP server Road Runner acct. Any help would be appreciated.

    Try Mail->Window->Connection Doctor.  If there is a problem reported, try:
    Open Mail->Preferences and check your settings.
    If you still have a problem, Copy your settings (screen capture ⇧⌘4), delete account, and re-setup account

  • How do I delete an e.mail on my 5s that has a mime attachment,the e.mail can be read but not deleted.

    How do I delete an e.mail  on my 5s iphone that has a mime attachement? the e.mail can be read but not deleted. A message comes up saying that it cannot be moved! The e.mail was sent to me and I forwarded it. The e.mail is not in any other folder in the phone or on my mac. But it might be in my backup to the mac via itunes.

    This is for your protection, its not supposed to be easy.
    You should be keeping a record of all your passwords, security answers, etc.

  • I am at capacity How can I free up space but not delete music

    My Ipad is at 55.4 gb used 24 gb in music alone. 2.7 gb available so can't do anything  Ipad shuts itself down and won't let me open mail, use facebook, safari.How can I free up space but not delete songs in library   

    Unless you are attempting to download a sizable file, 2.7 GB should be more than enough to continue fucntioning. Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.

  • I have seven(7) podcasts on my iPhone 4 that iTunes will not delete. iTunes copies them from the phone to the library and will not  delete them from the phone when deleted from the library.

    I have seven(7) podcasts on my iPhone 4 that iTunes will not delete. iTunes copies them from the phone to the library and will not delete them from the phone when deleted from the library. I have replayed the podcasts over and over and they still won't delete. Podcasts are WSJ Tech briefings.

    This happens to several of my podcasts whenever an updated iOS comes out. You can delete the episode directly from the phone by swiping it from left to right. That seems to fix the issue (they drop off the phone and dont reappear on iTunes). It's as if iTunes stops tracking the play count for some shows.
    Hope this helps!

  • In Dreamweaver CS6, the Plus (+) button in the Server Behaviors panel is greyed out. How do I make it operational?

    I am trying to restrict access to a page by redirecting unauthorized users to another page. The Adobe manual instructs me to:
    Open the page you want to protect.  
    In the Server Behaviors panel (Window > Server Behaviors), click the Plus button and select User Authentication > Restrict Access To Page from the pop‑up menu.  
    I opened the page and went to the Server Behaviors panel.
    Unfortunately, the Plus button is greyed out and not operational. How do I make the Plus button operational so that I can then select User Authentication, etc?
    Charlie

    You can't apply server behaviors to pages that don't contain (or are specified to be when they are created) server scripting. That means they must have the proper filename extension, e.g., filename.php or filename.aspx/

  • IPhone Songs Greyed Out - Won't Delete

    Hey,
    For some reason my iPhone has synced music that will not be removed from my iPhone. These items appear greyed out on my iPhone, but do not show up in iTunes when I plug my iPhone in (For instance, Coldplay's album "Viva La Vida," appears on my iPhone greyed out, but iTunes shows that no such songs exist on my device). Similarly, some items are also greyed out in iTunes when I connect the iPhone (coincidentally, all items I bought from my account on my iPhone). If I try to delete the greyed items from my phone in iTunes, they appear to delete, but later reappear - and never leave my phone.
    Image of greyed songs on iPhone:
    Image of songs greyed in iTunes:
    These songs will not be removed from my iPhone. Even if I delete my entire library from my iPhone, these songs remain.
    Conveinently, all of the songs that will not delete are items that my sister has bought on her account, and my iPhone constantly asking me for my sister's iTunes password any time I connect my iPhone to my library. Surely these issues are connected. I have deauthorized my sisters account from my computer, and have tryed every possible method of removing these songs. I don't want my iPhone to have anything to do with my sisters account - how can I make it forget her account? I have tried every way I can imagine, including removing my entire library of music from my phone.
    I am relatively savvy with iTunes and the iPhone, and cannot seem to fix this by any method. Is it something to do with iCloud?

    Found this info here, but not sure if it will help you or not.  I am facing a similar situation that I have not eradicated just yet.

    Songs purchased from multiple Apple IDs
    Songs containing DRM (Digital Rights Management) may not appear, or may appear grayed out in iCloud. This can occur if your computer is not authorized for playback of that content. Try authorizing your computer, then manually update iTunes Match.
    To determine what Apple ID your computer needs to be authorized for, locate and select the song in your iTunes library.
    Choose File > Get Info.
    In the Summary tab, locate the Account Name field in the right column and write it down.
    Click OK.
    Choose Store > Authorize this Computer.
    Type in the account name from the Summary field and its password. Click Authorize.
    Choose Store > Update iTunes Match.
    Check iCloud Status
    Check to see the iCloud status of your songs. Choose View > View Options and enable "iCloud Status". iCloud status will help you to determine whether or not a song was purchased from the iTunes Store, matched, uploaded, or ineligible for upload. Items may not be eligible for upload if:
    The item was purchased outside of the United States iTunes Store.
    Your computer is not authorized for playback for that item.
    The music video was not purchased from the iTunes Store.

  • 2 different iphones have the same Apple ID, how can I change the apple ID on one of them but not delete the other iphone's data and media?

    2 different iphones have the same Apple ID, how can I change the apple ID on one of them but not delete the other iphone's data and media?

    You don't have to do anything with the first iPod that you don't use anymore. If you are planning on keeping it, put in a drawer in your house and forget about it.
    You don't need a second account to use with the new iPod. I use one Appl e ID and iTunes library for two iPods, and two iPad. I have different content on all four devices. You can select exactly what you want to sync to each device and it can be different content on all devices.

    Dear Friends,
    User has raised new requirement to extract the Pending proposal in F110 which is pending for final run but not deleted by user. 
    Please advice how can I extract the pending proposal which is pending for final run in F110.
    Thanks in an advance.

    Hello Pankaj,
    There are two mthods, first one is F110 > Edit > Proposal > Proposal List. Another way is SE16 > REGUH > input X selection criteria in input field REGUH-XVORL (Indicator: Only Proposal Run?)  to list proposal pending for final payment.

    Alex,
    have you tried everything in this thread? The problem seems to be different for everybody:
    If nothing helps try dagon's full monty for a reinstall:

    Or a manual download using the Terminal as mteep suggests:

  • I want to delete photos on my ipad but not delete them from my main computer?

    After deleting my photos from my iPad to make room for more, does this automatically delete them from my main computer or is there a mechanism to prevent them from being deleted from the main computer?

    If you are referring to photo stream, then if you set your computer up correctly to have photo stream photos automatically imported into iPhoto events, then deleting the photos from your photo stream album, on another device, will not delete them from the computer.
