Can't delete messages from Gmail mailbox

I use Apple Mail with Gmail.
When I delete a message from that mailbox, it disappears, but if switch to another mailbox and come back, it again there.
And actually there is no trash icon.
iCloud mailbox works good.

In your Gmail settings go to labels, and check that the Trash is shown in Imap box is ticked.
If you do this, you will see a Trash folder in Mail, and you need to use that to trash an email.

  • HT1146 I can not delete messages from my gmail account - help please

    My deleted messages from my gmail account keep coming back. How can I permanently delete them?

    Hello,
    Certain Thunderbird problems can be solved by peforming a ''Clean Reinstall''. This means you remove Thunderbird's Program Files then reinstall Thunderbird. Please follow these steps:
    #Download the latest version of Thunderbird from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download is complete, close all Thunderbird windows (Click Exit/Quit from the menu button on the right).
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #** C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\
    #** C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Thunderbird from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Thunderbird with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Thunderbird on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ Thunderbird Download Page], simply remove the folder ''thunderbird'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Thunderbird:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to open Thunderbird after clicking the Finish button.
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Thunderbird's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Thunderbird data, including but not limited to, extensions,emails, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • Apple mail won't stop deleting messages from Gmail server

    Hello everyone:
    For a long time I had my mail set up to delete messages from the gmail server, but recently I changed my mind. I tried changing the settings to remove copy after a month and nothing happened, i.e. immediately deleted messages from server. Now I've tried changing it to never remove a copy and it is still doing it. What am I missing?

    I should say: it does leave a copy in "all mail" but deletes it from the inbox section so they are unavailable on my iPhone as soon as my laptop grabs it....

  • How can I delete messages from the local Sent folder without deleting from the remote server?

    I am running out of disk space on my local machine. Analysing this, I can see that a large amount of space is being taken up by local storage of Sent emails from my IMAP synchronised account.
    I do not see how I can delete the local copies from my PC without them being deleted from the Server as well. There is an account setting option under Synchronisation and Storage to delete messages, but it says they will be deleted from both the local machine and the remote server.
    I need to keep the server versions as these are business accounts and it is important I have all my old messages stored somewhere.

    Short answer: get a bigger hard disk.
    You could disable synchronization and free up the space on your local disk without loosing the messages. However, this would eliminate the possibility to create backups of your messages.<br>
    Since you mentioned this is important business mail, you shouldn't take chances.

  • Versamail can't delete messages from Verizon acct.

    I can still send email from my TX via my Verizon account using Versamail, but when I mark messages deleted, tell it to delete on the device and on the server and update the server, the next time I do a mail sync the deleted messages come back.
    Verizon changed the port on the outgoing server a while back, and I made that change in Versamail.  Still doesn't delete stuff on the server.
    Any ideas?

    Hello Nelson Vasquez,
    It sounds like you want to delete some messages from the Messages app. You should be able to do that with this info from the following article:
    iOS: Using Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3529
    How do I delete a Message?
    You can delete a message by choosing More… after tapping and holding a message bubble in your current Messages conversation. Selected messages that will be deleted show a checkmark to the left. Tap the trash, in the bottom left corner, and choose Delete Message.
    If you are doing this and it is not working, or this is not what you are wanting to do could you clarify just a bit for me?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Can't delete mail from gmail account

    I am using Apple mail and it is synced with a gmail. When something from the gmail shows up in my inbox and I delete it, it goes to a folder called all mail. When I delete something from all mail it reappears there ten minutes later. Any suggestions?

    You might have better luck asking this in the Mail forum.

  • Can't receive messages from gmail after deleting outgoing message

    I've a big problem! Yesterday i was trying to send an email to my friend with a large size attachment. After 1 hour i saw that the message was still in the outgoing message so i decided to stop it. At that moment began the problems...I'm not able to receive message anymore!
    Help me please!

    The exact directory name that you're "cd" (change directory) into will depend upon your account name.
    Try this (enter what's in quotes)
    "cd ~/Library/Mail"
    Then, type:
    "ls"
    This will list the contents of that directory and you'll see a directory named something like "[email protected]@imap.gmail.com".
    Then, cd into that directory by typing "cd " and the name of that directory, exactly as you see it.
    Then, you can
    "cd .OfflineCache"
    Type "ls" one more time to make sure you're in that directory (I saw files named '1', '2', '3', etc. Don't type the next line if you're in the wrong place.
    And last,
    "rm *"

  • Can't delete messages from inbox

    We have reached our quota so in an effort to reduce it we have deleted unwanted emails & copied older emails to a new folder under our local folders tab. We are now having troubles deleting the copied emails from our inbox.
    Your assistance with this matter would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    If you have an IMAP mail account and you have selected to delete emails but they are still on the server....
    Right click on Inbox folder and select 'Compact'.
    This should remove all 'marked as deleted' mail.

  • After sending emails, they won't copy to "SENT" folder. And I can't delete messages from INBOX

    I've archived and compacted folders to there is plenty of room

    Hi marygilles56,
    Firefox is a web browser. It displays the content of existing sites. Things like email or page contents come from the content provider. Who is your email provider? You'll probably have better luck consulting their help documentation. Any easy way to see if the problem is on the Firefox side is to try using IE or Safari. If the issue still happens with both of them, it's an issue with your email provider.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • 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.

  • Deleting messages from POP3 gmail accouts

    Hello all.
    I built an application that deals with email boxes.
    I experienced a problem deleting messages from gmail accounts, but only on POP3.
    My approach was to open the folder in RW, mark the flag DELETED, and close the folder with expunge = true.
    It works for IMAP and other POP3 mailboxes.
    Thanks for any help.

    I haven't used Entourage in years, I can't remember exactly so start in the Mail accounts options and look around for Imap or Subscribed folders settings.
