Can't delete email messages

I can't delete email messages on my gmail account on my 9300F/R from before a certain date. I have tried everything, including calling technical support from my provider and from RIM, and each one keeps referring me back to the other. All I want to do is delete these messages. Please help. Thank you.

Can't delete email messages from some folders in Mail

I CAN delete email messages from header Folder "MAILBOXES" (drafts, sent, trash); however, there's another folder header below called "ON MY MAC", where I save various emails by dragging them to a subfolder, and when I try to delete these, I get this message:
"The message '(subject of email)' could not be moved to the mailbox 'Deleted Messages --- On My Mac' The destination mailbox 'Deleted Messages --- On My Mac' does not allow messages to be moved to it."
The only way to delete from this folder is to hold Control, select from the dropdown Move to, then Trash, and then one of three sub-trash folders (the one that has my email address) -- this is a pain to do.
Mail is just not working properly any more (I just added 2 other posts - one about crashing, another about all my Fonts missing)
thank you in advance!

Colin,
Have you checked Mail>Window>Previous Recipients for the old address? If not, attempt to "Remove From List" at that location and let us know what happens.

Can't delete email messages - get dreaded multicolor revolving circle and have to force quit

Hi -
Since installing Lion, there are two messages in my Mail inbox that I cannot read or delete. Whenever I try by putting the cursor on either one of them, I get the multicolor revolving circle symbol. I then can't access anything in Mail or stop the revolving circle. I have to go to Force Quit to end the Mail application and start over. Then must be very careful not to highlight one of those messages or the same thing happens over and over again. I suspect these two are some kind of spam or virus mail because I don't recognize the sender or the bit of the message that shows up in the inbox.
Please help - this is quite annoying. I will be most appreciative of any ideas.

Hold the phone. This, apparently, may be a Bell Sympatico server issue after all. I've tried to get in contact with their support people and the message says that they've been having problems. Also, my wife, who only uses .mac mail recieved the same email (that keeps popping up in my inbox) and has had no issues. I retrieved my mail using my newer imac as well and the same problem occured there. Hence, it is probably not an app issue, but a server issue.
Thanks all for your help. Hopefully I can resolve this with Sympatico.

Can't Delete Email Messages on Z1 Compact

I have my Z1 synched to my university email account which runs on an MS Exchange server. I've noticed recently that there are a couple of old messages that if I delete them they keep coming back into my inbox. They are not present on the server when I log in directly with my desktop Outlook client!
Any ideas how I can delete theses from my phone.

Can't delete email since updating to 10.5.3

Since I updated my OSX to 10.5.3 three days ago, I can't delete email messages in Mail. I get the following error message "The destination mailbox “(null)” does not allow messages to be moved to it."
I've rebuilt mailboxes, deleted trash mailboxes, rebooted,etc,etc, to no avail. Anyone else experiencing this? Does this have something to do with the update?

Richard,
With this last report, along with the first, it would appear that Mail may have taken the account Offline during the time .mac was down, and it is still Offline. This is not the same as being connected to the internet, but related to the account only. Is there any symbol beside the mailboxes associated with this .mac account?
If you have more than one account, click on Mailbox in the menubar and place the cursor on Online Status -- for the .mac account is Take "the account name" Online presented, or only Offline? If you have only the one account, the the first entry in the pull down with either say Take Account Online or Offline.
Although with a .mac account (setup as account type .mac/IMAP) the Inbox and messages reside on the server, the index in Mail has the list of messages -- just not the content.
Btw, you say the last Update -- if your OSX is 10.5.3, then please change your settings in the discussions Profile.

Can I set up a rule to delete email messages based on age?

Can I set up a rule that automatically deletes email messages that are say 3 mos old?

In mail perferences, under rules, click add rule, then click on 'add recipient' and you'll have a menu of options. Pick date reeceived, in the next box choose 'is greater than' and in the next box however many days. Then under perform this action you can choose to delete the message or move it to another mailbox.
After defining that rule, it will automagically delete messages that meet that criteria.

TS3899 How do I recover the icon to delete email messages?

I seem to have lost the icons that allow me to delete email messages. Can anybody give me an idea how to recover that feature?

Click "edit" and select the messages you want deleted and a trash bin should appear. Click that and it'll prompt you asking if you're sure. Click yes.

Can't delete emails from "read only" Mail account

I am trying to delete emails to clear hard drive space.
On one of my computer's accounts (ONLY one), the mailboxes have the heading "read only", and I can't delete emails. I don't remember selecting this setting, and I can't find it anywhere.
Can someone please point me in the right direction--how do I turn off the "read only" status of the InBox? And--is that why I can't delete emails??
Thank you!

I've had trouble with JavaMail starting on July 21st. I've used the same code for months, but all of a sudden, I can't delete messages from Gmail using the DELETED flag. I open the folder as READ_WRITE, grab the messages from the folder, set the DELETED flag, double check to make sure the DELETED flag was set, then close the folder (setting EXPUNGE to TRUE). Nothing happens. No exception is thrown or message is given, and no messages get deleted from the inbox (they just remain sitting there). I've tried calling the EXPUNGE method manually after setting the DELETED flag, but then it complained that the underlying implementation could not execute the method because the message was READ ONLY!!! I'm out of ideas. I've posted on Google's forums, but every other .NET and command terminal commands seem to still be working. I'm wondering if Gmail altered their configuration to become more compliant with the IMAP protocol, and JavaMail (or its underlying implementation) is still not 100% compliant?
Thanks for your consideration.

Can not delete emails and tool bar at top does not change over

Can not delete emails and tool bar at top does not change over from safari. HELP

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,
regards
Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano BTW ⌘- - (command minus) will make the fonts smaller

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.

Can't Delete Email from .Mac

Hi,
I'm having an issue where I can't delete email from my .Mac account using the web interface or the Mail client. I receive the following error message when I try to delete messages:
"Mail was unable to remove the deleted message in the mailbox ".Mac" on server "mail.mac.com". The server error encountered was: The connection to the server "mail.mac.com" on port 143 time out."
This problem just surfaced today and I can't find any information on the .Mac website. Thanks for any help.
Cheers,
Ignats

I was hoping that it would be a temporary issue but it is still continuing 24 hours later. I'm fairly certain that it is not an issue with the Mail client because I can delete email from my other accounts; still can't delete email from my .Mac account. I continue to receive the error message in my original post.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Thanks m.bode for responding to my question.
