How do you stop Mail App from recovering deleted emails

I use Mail app to manage multiple email boxes. Whenever I send a message, it will fail and ask me to send through another server. If it fails, it will infinitely ask this question. Also when I cancel it, it will infinitely recover and try to send the message. Even when I delete the mail box, it will bring it back. That email address is now unusable through the mail app because it shows the spinning wheel and tries to send/recover the one deleted message over and over.
I have read on this forum that if you delete the invisible folder below, it will get rid of the problem
~/Library/Mail/IMAP-<username>@[email protected]/.OfflineCache
Where is this folder? There is no folder in Library that is named "Mail". So I don't know what to do.

I did what you said but there is no file with "OfflineCache". I even used spotlight and it cannot find a file named or containing "OfflineCache". I saw the recovery folder and deleated the email in there. But when I start up Mail app, nothing has changed. I even deleted all the cashe on my system using CleanApp (hope this doesn't mess up anything) and nothing has changed. I can't even use Mail App until this is fixed.

  • How do you stop mail messages from poping up in ipad

    When I turn on my Ipad 3, i receive mail messages in the center of the screen of all new messages.  you have to manually tap each screen in the middle of the screen to continue working.  I changed the setting in general mail to manually fetch the mail, however the messages still pop up.  This is not part of the notifications screen that you can pull down from the top of the screen.  Any suggestions
    Thanks

    Re-visit Settings/Notifications/Mail. It is probably set to "Alerts" which require an action before they are removed. Set it to Banners which go away on their own or None to remove them completely.

  • How do I stop an app from waiting?  I have tried to reboot by holding the home key and power button to power down.  Also, I have tried to sync the apps from my laptop with no success.  Can you help?  Thanks.

    How do I stop an app from waiting?  I have tried to reboot by holding the home key and power button to power down.  The app is still grayed out and waiting so it cannot be deleted.  Also, I have tried to sync the apps from my laptop and tried downloading new appswith no success.  Can you help?  Thanks

    If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

    Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
    If that doesn't work:
    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

  • How do you stop mobile sites from loading in safari automatically on my iPad? I can't log into mobile me because of this.

    How do you stop mobile sites from loading in safari automatically on my iPad? I can't log into mobile me because of this.

    The me.com website is not designed for or intended to be accessed by iOS devices. Apple provides support in iOS or seperate Apps for accessing all aspects of MobileMe except for the Accounts section.
    Use MobielMe as intended and you'll have no problems.
    See: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1673
    Even if you use a different browser to get access to me.com on iOS, you'll find most of it is unusable.
    Other websites that present you with the mobile version have been programmed to do so by their developers. They specifically look for users accessing from 'mobile' devices and switch to the mobile site. Many such sites provide a link to go back to the 'full' site, if not, there's not a lot you can do except use a browser that can pretend not to be a mobile browser.

    How do you sync mail folders from iMac(lion) to my iPad?

    Is your email account an IMAP account? If not, the folders will not sync.
    If your email account is a POP account, you can create folders and mailboxes in the Mac mail app and those folders will be for local storage and organization on the Mac only. That is a feature of the Mac mail software. Those folders/mailboxes will not sync if you do not have an IMAP account.

  • How do you sync your apps from your iphone to a new PC?

    How do you sync your apps from your iphone to a new PC?
    When syncing you receive a warning that you are about to remove all content from your iphone (device)!!! I don't/can't have this happen!! I have the music and calenders etc on iCloud but the Apps don't get stored there (as far as I'm aware).
    Should I de-register the old PC first? Will that then signal iTunes that this is OK to syc the apps with the new??
    Thanks.

    File>Transfer Purchases
    You really need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
    The iphone is not a backup/storage device

  • How do you stop iOS 7 from auto enlarging your background picture?

    How do you stop iOS 7 from auto enlarging your background picture? And before it's mentioned, no, Turing off Reduce Motion has absolutely NO effect on the auto enlarge feature that apple stupidly thought would be a good idea. The Reduce Motion ONLY stops the background from subtly shifting as you turn or angle the iDevice.

    It should be my choice, not apples.
    And I agree. But neither of us is a programming engineer at Apple, and so don't get to make those decisions. The user tip I wrote was based on the fact I didn't like it either, and was trying to figure out why it was scaling an image up in the first place, and then how to fix it as best as possible.
    Since you've locked your iPad to one orientation, you should be able to copy your custom image off to your Mac (assuming you own one) and use an image editor, such as Photoshop Elements, to add pixel area to the narrow dimension to make it the same number of pixels as the larger dimension. Increase the canvas size so the extra space leaves the original narrower dimension centered, as in this example:
    Copy it back to your iPad and select the modified image. Since it's square, it shouldn't scale.

  • How do you stop the keyboard from covering what you are typing

    How do you stop the keyboard from covering up what you are typing- one of the worst features of the new iOS

    What kind of problems are you having with the iPad?
    If the keyboard is split and covering your text, Pull the two ends of the keyboard together - into the middle of the screen. You can also tap and hold down on the little keyboard icon in the lower right corner of the keyboard and select - Dock and Merge.
    If the keyboard is up on the middle of the screen, but not split, and you want to move it back to the bottom - tap and hold down on the little keyboard and icon and select - Dock
    You can turn the split keyboard off in Settings>General>Keyboard>Split Keyboard>Off.
    if none of those are the issue, reset your iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

    How do you uninstall an app from an iPad. I cannot find any uninstall feature in settings and no help feature.

    Press on the app and hold until the apps begin to wiggle. Tap on the circled "x" that appears in the upper left corner.
    If you sync with iTunes, then connect the device to your computer and open iTunes. Select the Apps option under the Library heading. Locate the app, select it, then press the Delete key. This removes it completely.

  • How do i stop my ipad from automatically deleting my hotmail inbox and putting it into pop trash?

    how do i stop my ipad from automatically deleting my hotmail inbox and putting it into pop trash? It has only started doing it since i synced with my MacBook Air

    If emails are being deleted, then it's not the Apple products, it's the POP account.  When one device reads an email, it's removed from the server, so the other devices can't get that same email.  That's a POP account.
