AOL "Trash" Box

Just purchased a new Touch and was able to set up AOL and GMAIL email accounts. When ready to delete an AOL email, I get the message, "Unable to Move message. The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash." I looked at the GMAIL boxes and there is one called "Trash." However, there is not one in AOL which leads me to believe this is why I cannot delete AOL messages. How do I get the "Trash" box in the AOL account?

hello try the following
Settings - Mail - Tap on AOL account - Tap on Advanced - Tap on SPAM so you get a check mark - Then tap on Trash on the very top so you get a check mark. Now go check AOL mail and attempt to delete.

Good morning! i'd like to know why when I write an email in Mail, it creates numerous copies each second which fill the trash box. My email is set up with IMAP and is a gmail account. Thanks

Open Mail preferences and select Accounts then MailBox Behavior. You probably need to unclick the safe draft to server.

HT2500 I can't delete my email in my trash box

After deleting my email trash, when i return to the trash box they have all returned

You might get some free space in Safe Boot...
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, empty trash while in Safe mode.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

Possible to get deleted trash box back?

First time poster here.
I accidentally deleted one of my 'trash' boxes. Under "Trash" I have "on my mac" and also "Comcast". I didn't really understand why I had the Comcast one and deleted it. It still shows there but it has now become only a way to go to the Comcast account page. I never did have a separate box for Comcast anywhere except under the Trash heading and that caused my confusion.
Now when I want to send things to the trash, I can only put them in the "on my Mac" box. The top level "Trash" won't accept it as it says the Comcast box won't let anything be deleted. Well, of course, like a newbie (which I am to Mac's) I deleted the Comcast trash box. This is on my Imac only. I did not do this on the MacBook Pro..learned the hard way!
Is there any way to fix this? I don't have a backup as yet, so that's not a possiblity at this time. I was hoping to repair this before I do a backup. Have not set up TM as yet.
Thank you to anyone who might be able to help.

Thank you Barry. Yes, Comcast is my mail provider. It is a POP account.
Now, if you could point me in the right direction to do that re-build, I would be ever so grateful. I did use the "rebuild" button on the Mail tool bar for that box and it did not help. Perhaps there is something else I could do?
As I mentioned, I am very new to the Mac world, and I get a little lost. Well, at age 73, I guess that's not hard to do! Been on Windows forever so lots of the terminology in Apple is quite different for me.

While creating a new email, various portion of the mail will appear in the trash box.

after creating a new email and send sucessfully, breakdown of the full content in the mail will appear in the trash box without my intention. The breakdown were in seperate uncompleted mail/mails depending on the lenght of the email. Everytime after a simple email of about 3-5 sentences conpriseing of less then 30 words, 5 - 10 seperate trash box mail appeared. it worst when duration is longer while creating the email. Any advise to eliminate this situation??

You probably have "Store draft messages on the server" checked in the Mailbox Behaviors of the mail account(s) on which you are experiencing this, and the server's reaction to having a second, third, etc. draft of the same message stored is to put the older copy in the trash. Not all servers react like this, but some like Gmail seem to so do.
If you won't need to change Macs in the middle of composing an email message and can live with retyping a message you were composing at the time of a crash, you can probably turn off this feature.

Suddenly my trash box is empty and when I delete an e-mail it does not appear in the trash anymore

Just recently I've been receiving spam and e-mails not addressed to me. My "trash box" is empty and when I delete an e-mail it doesn't move to the trash box. I haven't made any changes. I don't appear to have a "junk" box and when I delete junk mail is just disappears.

fixed it myself..... problem gone

Virus email. How do I delete and delete my trash box?

Have received an email with a virus. How can I get rid of it? It is in the Trash box, but I would like to completely delete it. How do I delete completely my trash box? Please....

As already provided, a Windows virus cannot infect or affect OS X, and the iPhone runs an optimized version of OS X. Since the iPhone does not support disk mode, if there were an OS X virus, nothing can be installed on an iPhone from a received email or from a website except for a photo, and I haven't read any reports about a virus or malware being included with a JPEG file.
Are you unable to delete this email from the account's Trash mailbox on your iPhone?

HT1526 trash from my segate external hard disk.But i am unable to empty my trash box ,getting an error(Error code -36)how to trash?

I had moved some folder to trash from my segate external hard disk.But i am unable to empty my trash box ,getting an error:The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “” can’t be read or written. (Error code -36): pls advise,how to trash

Hi, what format is the external drive?
Well, in pure Apple File System talk... -36
ioErr
I/O error (bummers)
Not very helpful, but generally means a Drive quit being Readable or Writable since starting the operation...

The other -36 is a Windows/SMB issue.

Cut photo form the Rotate Hide Trash box...Where is it?

Using Mac iphoto, clicked on tiny check on photo , opened Rotate Hide Trash box and cut photo. Where is it?

Where is it?
It's in the iPhoto Trash bin and in your Clipboard.

Trash box is empty. But, still counts as 9. Why?

Even I empty my Trash box in Mailboxes. I always see it as 9 even it is empty. This was 7 at previous and incread to 9. I use my company excahnge. Do you have any idea why my trashbox boxes shows as 9 while it is empty.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Deleted Emails Disappearing from Trash Box

Hi There,
When I delete an email from my inbox, it goes to Trash and I can see it there but after a couple of days, it disappears? I want to keep all of my Trash emails until I delete them manually. I have the account settings for Deleted Messages set to NEVER but they still get deleted after a couple of days.
I’m with Rogers. Can anyone help me or explain this?
thanks

Thank you for the advise, I also tried the "advanced" under MAIL/notes and was able to increase all deleted messages
By selecting " delete messages after 4 weeks" and/or by selecting "never" , all deleted are in a new box titled
"Deleted Messages " bypassing the trash box.

Why does my iphone trash box say there is mail after i empty it

i use hotmail and after emptying the trash box, it still says there is mail

Hi
Don't think it's possible.

How does one restore a missing out and trash box on the IPhone 4s?

I am able to receive mail on Iphone 4S but cannot send out or reply. Took to Verizon (big mistake) and they
returned phone without a outbox or trash box. Can anyone tell me how to find or restore?

The Outbox mailbox is available only when a sent message cannot be sent for whatever reason, and the account's Trash mailbox with a newly created POP account will not be available until a message is successfully sent with the account.
Apparrently Verizon deleted and recreated the account, so the Outbox mailbox that was available for the messages that could not be sent and the account's Trash mailbox for any messages selected to be deleted before the account was deleted and recreated are no longer available and cannot be found or restored.

Trash box refuses to allow deleted mail to be moved there

I've trawled through the posts and so far not found this exact problem so I thought I'd post here. Until last week I had no problems with Mail, but suddenly when deleting emails as usual the pop3 Trash refused to co-operate and gave me the following messages. The message “*********...” could not be moved to the mailbox “Trash — pop3UWClub”The destination mailbox “Trash — pop3UWClub” does not allow messages to be moved to it.
I have tried various remedies, including rebuild without success. In fact "rebuild" for this box is greyed out. Also the trash item in the sidebar has a grey triangle against it but clicking it makes it rotate only. There is nothing to show. All comments welcome, well most anyway. SaK

....hmmm if I remember correctly you need to uncheck "store deleted messages on the server" in the Mail preferences

Gmail goes to Sent box and Trash box

Hi
Everytime I send a message it records in the sent box OK but also appears Trash in multiple numbers.
How can I recify this. Currently using Mavericks.
Any ideas

Sure you're looking in the right place, or just looking at your Inbox? When looking at your Inbox, tap "Maiboxes", what do you see?
