I cannot delete mail from my inbox and get a message saying (msg) could not be moved to the mailbox trash-POP account".

I suddenly cannot delete mail from my inbox and get a message saying " (msg) could not be moved to the mailbox trash-POP account".  It does not matter if I am trying to delete a single message or mulitiple messages.  Can anyone help?

If you're running Leopard, as your profile says, then you need to post your question in that forum, not the Snow Leopard forums. So if you're really running Snow Leopard, you need to update your profile to show that, as well as give more details about what kind of mail accounts you have, and who your email provider is.

  • HT1668 I get the "Unable to Move Message. The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash". whenever i try deleting from my ipad 2. I am unable to delete from Trash...HELP

    I get the "Unable to Move Message. The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash". whenever i try deleting from my ipad 2. I am unable to delete from Trash...HELP!
    Additional info...I am trying to delete these emails from a Webmail address. the Trash currently has 11 messages and they arent being deleted.

    Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app via the taskbar : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Another option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If you still can't delete them then go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars,  select the account on the right-hand side of that screen, select Account, then Advanced, Deleted Mailbox, and under On The Server tap the 'Trash' folder so that it gets a tick against it - then come out of that series of popups by tapping on the relevant buttons at the top of them and then see if you can delete emails.

  • Recently when I try to delete mail on my mac-mini I get the following message: The message "..." could not be moved to the mailbox "Trash - On My Mac" How can I delete mail?

    My problem: When I try to delete an  email message I get the message - "The message “...” could not be moved to the mailbox “Trash — On My Mac.”
    It appear that when I try to delete an email on my mac-mini a copy of the message goes to trash and I can delete it, but the original message stays in my regular list of emails. How do I get my Mail program to return to its normal delete function?

    Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox. Try again to delete the message.

  • IPhone 4 will not delete 'trash' ... "Unable to Move Message ... The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash"

    I cannot empty my 'trash' ... it comes up with ... "Unable to Move Message ... The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash"
    I went into Settings > Mail > 'my account' > advanced > deleted mailbox > Trash (On My iPhone) ... it appears to delete a few items only ... I may try to individually delete 30 items and only 4 go ?  help please ...

    I have the same problem and there is no advanced option. Was this removed in the upgrade to ios 5? I have been chasing a solution to this and the fact I have various duplicate emails appearing in my work account for days now! It seems like I may have to delete my account and re-install. This appears to be a common problem, where is Apple's fix for it?

  • Mail - The mesage "subject" could not be moved to the mailbox trash

    Hello,
    Suddenly, I started to receive an error message when I try to delete emails.:
    "The mesage "subject" could not be moved to the mailbox trash - "account name" The operation couldn't be completed. File exists.
    The strange thing is that sometimes, if I try again it does delete it, sometimes not.
    I didn't do anything, didn't change nothing.
    I've repaired my permissions, restart my mac, nothing helps.
    any idea?
    thanks,
    shlomit

    I've been having a similar problem off and on for months with my university's Exchange account. I've tried Mailbox > Rebuild to no effect and the only thing that provided an extended remedy was to delete the account and recreate it. This isn't a problem with an Exchange account but isn't so good for other types.
    Anyway, I just realised that I'd been using the Rebuild command only on the Inbox and not on all the other folders within the account. I selected all the folders and then Mailbox > Rebuild and everything is working well again. I feel pretty stupid that I didn't think of it earlier.

  • 'The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash' message when deleting

    Hello,
    I have a 3G and after upgrading to iOS4, whenever I delete messages from an Exchange mailbox on my iPhone, I get the message 'Unable to Move Message - The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash'. Odd part is that the message IS moved to Trash. I also have a gmail account setup and that one works just fine. Really more of an annoyance than an issue, but it's growing more annoying by the minute. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Update - I deleted/re-added my account. Same issue. Also, no my Exchange calendar won't sync. Issue appears to be on the Exchange server. I see the following errors in my iPhone log:

  • TS3899 I have one message that I cannot delete.  The error message reads: The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash.

    I have one message in my Inbox that I have tried numerous times to delete and I just can't get rid of it.  I have tried the instructions that the Apple Support suggests but it still didn't work.  Has anyone else had this problem?

         I'm having the same problem. Seems to have started after an update about 4 days ago.
    Mail seems to think the messages are files and won't let you have more than 1  with the same header  in the Trash mailbox. If you do away with the Trash Mailbox by having mail delete the message instead of sending it to the Trash Mailbox the problem goes away, but so does the ability to recover a mistakenly deleted message. I get a lot of messages from the same people with the same header on the message. this problem is driving me crazy and I haven't been able to find anyone with any idea of whats causing it. Your the first user I've seen with this same problem.
         Lets hope someone has an idea. I would really like to solve this without losing all of my old emails.
