Tried all the suggestions (highlight, select delete etc.) Looked for folder with mail in library (no success)  Can not delete empty mailbox

Are you trying to delete a user created "On My Mac" location mailbox or a server stored mailbox for an IMAP type account?

  • E72- Can't delete mailbox

    Hello. I have a problem. I configurated the email, but entered a wrong code in imap-settings. I can send but not receive mail.(Custom, not OVI, Yahoo or Exchange). Then I created a new box but it wouldnt work, so I deleted it. Then I tried to delete the original box, but no such luck. It is impossible to remove it. I really have no clue about what to do. There is no way I can change the settings inside the box either. Anyone who can bring me out of my misery? :-)

    I had this problem with "Unable to delete the mailbox and so on." message. I was able to delete mailbox by this way:
    1. Visit the Messaging - Email site https://email.nokia.com/account/login.action . Your user name is the first email address you used when you signed up for Messaging - Email. (In my Google Chrome this link was not opened, but in IE it was all right). 
    2. After login click "delete" nearby the mailbox name, that you wanted to del.
    3. Try to connect to any mailbox from your E72 or just reboot smartphone.
    many information you can find here: http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/messaging/messaging-email/how-to-for-s60/quick-guide...
    I hope it will help you.

    Perform the following steps on your device, which includes built-in Email client:
    Select Menu

  • I can't delete mailbox "On My Mac"

    I have checked my Mail/V2/Account folders and I have all permissions. I have deleted the account the mailboxes were linked to. However, Mail will not let me delete these mailboxes. Everytime I choose "Delete Mailbox" it makes a sound (the no new mail sound) and the mailbox is still there.
    It is important for to delete these mailboxes as I have recently quit my job and neep to clean my computer of sensative information.

    Not sure if you ever solved this but I stumbled upon your question after spending hours trying to do this myself.
    I followed all sorts of advice - finding the mail folder, moving the mailboxes etc etc... But every time I re-opened mail they were still there and the files I'd moved were back where they started!
    Anyway - turns out is really simple.....
    Open Mail
    Open Preferences (in the Mail menu)
    Select the Accounts tab
    Highlhight the account you want to delete
    Find the + and - buttons to the bottom left of the window
    Select the - button and volia! Pesky mailbox that has wasted far too much of my life already, is now gone!
    Hope this stops you or someone else from wasting any more of your life on what's actually a really simple thing!

  • Can't delete mailboxes permanently

    I have migrated from Eudora to Mac Mail and ended up with a few unwanted mailboxes that were artifacts of the import. I can delete them within the Mail program, but they reappear when mail restarts. The do not show up in /Library/Mail/Mailboxes.
    Anyway to permanently delete these?

    Solved my own problem. There were rules pointing to these boxes. Once the rules were deleted, the boxes could be permanently deleted.

    Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Then 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 (or whatever it is called by yor provider) 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

    Delete your mail account/s and re-add them.
    This is what worked for me but I've read about other solutions that have worked for some people as well:

    Contact htem? No, I wouldn't think so, I'm not familier with fuse.net. Most ISPs adn email providers have web pages that can be used to acces your account settings and email. That may provide a means of selecting multiple emails and deleting them (but probably not 22,000 at a time).

    Can't delete certain emails from Mail.  Instead, I get the message "An error occurred while moving messages to the mailbox, etc."  The problem appears randomly.

  • Can't Delete (or Rename) Unused Mailboxes

    Having just upgraded to Leopard, I wanted to clean up my mail and delete two unused mailboxs. Problem is, I can't delete either mailbox. Nothing happens when I select the "Delete Mailbox" command. I can't even rename them. When I try, I get an error message telling me that "Mail was unable to rename…" Seems that once a mailbox is created it can never be deleted or renamed. Any help on this would be much appreciated.

    Oops! My bad. I guess I didn't read it carefully enough.
    I just copied this from Mail Help. If this doesn't work, I'm out of suggestions.
    Deleting mailboxes
    If you no longer need a mailbox or any of the messages it contains, you can easily delete it. Do not delete a mailbox in the Finder because the change may not appear in Mail; always use Mail to delete mailboxes.
    NOTE: Deleting a mailbox permanently deletes the mailbox and its contents, and cannot be undone. If you set up Time Machine to back up files, you can use it to recover previous versions of a deleted mailbox.
    Recovering mailboxes and their content
    To delete a mailbox:
    Select the mailbox and choose Mailbox > Delete, or Control-click the mailbox and choose Delete from the pop-up menu.
    ■
    If a message says you can’t delete a mailbox, you may not have permission to delete a mailbox from On My Mac, or there may be network or server-related reasons.
    To see your permissions for a mailbox, select the mailbox (located in the Library/Mail/Mailboxes/ folder in your home folder) and then choose File > Get Info. Click the triangle next to Sharing & Permissions to see information about the permissions for the mailbox and then make any necessary changes.
    ■
    If you have problems deleting an IMAP mailbox on the server, contact your Internet service provider (ISP).
    When you delete a mailbox, rules that were applied to the mailbox are disabled in Mail preferences.
    When you delete a Smart Mailbox, the messages it contains remain in their original location.
