Apple mail not deleting emails

I am on 10.6 and have tried deleting emails by either highlighting the email and hitting delete, or moving them to the trash, going to edit and emptying the mail trash. Sometimes this reduces the number of emails in Apple Mail, sometimes not. Most of the time it doesn't. No matter what I do, even though the email has disappeared from the inbox the number of emails in my inbox remains constant

Hi, is this a POP or IMAP acount?
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup),  it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.
Reboot, then in Mail, highlight that Mailbox, then in Mail's Mailbox menu, choose Rebuild... any change?

  • Apple mail not separating emails into correct inbox

    I have quite a few accounts setup in the apple mail app on my iMac. I am running version 10.9.5, when I receive new emails they are all going into one accounts inbox, it is not separating into the correct inbox for each individual account. I have checked and all preferences look fine.

  • Apple Mail not receiving emails after OS X update 10.6.7

    Hello,
    I have a strange problem. Apple mail has stopped receiving incoming messages after I did a software update of OS X 10.6.7. Outgoing mail is working fine.
    Funnily enough the same settings are still working on my Iphone where I continue to receive incoming email.
    I performed a rebuild on the mail and have done a combo update as well without any success.
    Please help!!
    Thank you

    My problem was resolved using this..

  • Apple Mail not sending email something about port 25

    I am a brand new iMac user. I am unable to use the native iMac mail. When I try to send a message it says something about not being able to send mail...port 25. Any ideas. Is there some kind of set up I need to do? I have a high speed Internet connection and it is working just fine.
    Please help.
    -Brett

    This is a common issue between your mail provider and your internet provider. It sounds like your ISP isn't letting you use port 25 to send outgoing mail, which is quite common now, since some internet worms use that port.
    Check with your mail provider to see if you can use an alternate port for SMTP (outgoing mail). One possible port is 587. You can set this in Mail Preferences, under Accounts, then Server Settings.

  • Can not delete email

    Since upgrading to 2.2 I can not delete email. When I try to delete, I get a message that says "Unable to Move Message The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash." I see that other people had the same problem as referenced here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8512901&#8512901 but their problem went away, and mine remains. Have restarted the phone to no avail. Any advise? Thanks.

    Do you go to your settings under Mail, Contacts, Calendars and select your mail account and then go to Advanced settings and make sure Deleted Mailbox says On My iPhone and then the TRASH folder is seleted? Maybe try also unchecking the TRASH folder and rechecking it.
    Sometimes if you have another e-mail account besides the ones that your having trouble with, try deleted mail from it and then go back to the trouble account and try again.

  • Apple mail not showing all the messages?

    In Apple mail, for my icloud account, I have some mailboxes which show the wrong number of messages, it shows too few.
    As an example, a mailbox contains 150 messages, but apple mail reports there are only 146.
    I rebuilt the mailbox and let apple mail do its thing. In the activity window I can see there are 150 messages. Yet, once apple mail has finished rebuilding the mailbox, it still tells me there are 146 messages. What's going wrong? Why would apple mail not show all the messages while in the activity window it clearly shows it knows there are 150?

    Solved!
    This was too weird to be real. Apple mail does not show messages it believes to be duplicates, and buy, does it make big mistakes in deciding what are duplicate messages and what not! Some of my mailboxes had over 100 "duplicates" not showing according to apple mail.
    I found a solution thanks to this topic:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/18265121#18265121
    defaults delete com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates
    does yield an error in 10.8.2 ( Domain (com.apple.mail) not found. Defaults have not been changed. )
    defaults write com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates -bool true
    Does work brilliantly though!

  • Inbox mail not deleting?

    inbox mail not deleting?

    I figured out the problem, but not sure why it's happening. It seems that gmail will not remove messages from the inbox that are deleted from Apple Mail until I've manually gone into Trash in Apple Mail. I guess it used to sync all mailboxes before. Not sure what to do to fix this.

  • Access Apple Mail notes outside of Mail itself

    Does anyone know if there is a program that simply lets you view/edit your Apple Mail notes OUTSIDE of Apple Mail? I just can't wrap my head around opening my email client to write random notes. I can't seem to find anything.
    Thanks!

    Ah Thank You, [ Jeffery Jones2 ] !
    I now remember stumbling across this and wondering why I was in Mail and not Finder when I entered Time Machine a while back. <hehe> Now I get it!
    Easy restoration of my Mail Notes! All is well again now that I verified iTunes sync is turned "off" and that the MobileMe sync is turned "on"—no more conflicts.

  • Apple Mail Not Syncing

    I am having issues with my apple mail not syncing on my computer.  This just started happening, was working fine up to this point.  We use MDaemon, and nothing appears to be wrong on the server.  I can see all the mail on my iPhone and through World Client.  This is the error I'm getting.  I have backups of my computer, what components should I try to reinstall from "resources".
    System consistently reports(s) : SyncServer[985]: [0x7fada840bdb0] |DataManager|Warning| Client com.apple.Mail sync alert tool path /System/Library/Frameworks/Message.framework/Resources/MailSync does not exist.

    I have reinstalled Mountain Lion, and this still did not help.  Mail still not syncing.  When I look in the "System/Library/Framewoks/Message.frame/Resources"  I do not see anything that is called MailSync.  I have looked through my Time Machine backups and see it way back in Jan. 2013.  I did copy it into the "Resoures" folder, still not working.  I have deleted my account and reset up, still not working.  My issue started late March 2013.  I don't know what else to try.

  • Blackberry notes sync with Apple mail notes

    When I sync my blackberry it says that the notes sync with the Apple mail notes, but I cannot find the Apple mail notes. How do I access them??
    Thank you.

    I had the same problem. It actually syncs the memos to Mail. Open Mail from your computer, and on the left side there should be drop menus called: Mail, Reminders, and RSS. On mine, Reminders was closed, so I dropped it, and there was another menu called "Notes", and viola! There were all the Blackberry Notes, ready to go! It's literally saved in "Apple Mail Notes".
    This thread is what made me look there: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12187767
    Hope I helped!

    If you hold the command key down (the one with the ⌘ on it) and hit the + key you can make the fonts larger. Might help out, I know as I've gotten up there in years I've had to use it more and more
    In the mean time while twtwtw mulls this over, can you supply any further information? Did the system crash or didi anything change before you started having the problem? Are you really running 10.5.8 as your profile says?
    We'll start with those for now,
