Can't delete messages or move them to personal mbox

Hi All:
I sent about 6 messages from my Web Mail account (not .Mac) to an address in Germany, all of which had attachments. The largest attachment was 1 MB. This has never been an issue for me before. The only thing new is that I sent a BCC of each message to myself. These BCC messages have all been downloaded to my Mail Inbox and deleted from my Web Mail account. Now come the problems.
Basically, I want to delete several of the BCC German emails and save the rest in a personal mailbox in Mail. The earliest BCC download keeps trying to display the 1 MB attachment and basically keeps spinning its wheels (might be the source of the issue.) I am unable to delete that and all subsequent BCC emails to the same address in Germany. This issue has slowed the downloading of new mail from the Web server. In other words, if I go to my Web Mail account, I often find several new emails which have not downloaded to Mail. When they do download, I am able to delete them, unlike the BCCs to Germany
DELETING
When I "delete" the BCC German emails, they continually reappear after quitting Mail or even rebooting. I have also had to Force Quit Mail many times.
MOVING TO PERSONAL MAILBOX
When I drag those BCC emails to a personal mailbox, they will not move. They remain in my Inbox.
I would appreciate any help you can give me.
Many thanks.

You will probably find that mail makes many copies of your messages and everytime you start Mail it's almost as if the mailboxes are rebuilt from copies of the messages you deleted. Try the rebuild mailbox approach. If not try the link above.

How can i delete messages on iMessage and have them STAY GONE?

How can I delete messages from my iPhone and have them STAY GONE and not have them show up on my computer or iPad? Same thing, how can I delete from any of these and have them NOT show up on the other devices? If I delete on one, it stays on the other. It's a constant circle of deleting messages? I want them gone when deleted. Maverick. iPad4th iPhone 5
Thanks.

Hi,
First off.
The "Sync" as Apple calls it is only "Display on all Devices" and nothing more.
Deleting it on one device will not delete it on another.
On the Mac the iMessages are stored in ~/Library/Messages in file called chat.db with a couple of supporting database items alongside.
If you "close" or remove the chat in the list in the Messages window (the x when you mouse over the name and pic) then the iMessage will "return" as an "Aid Memoire" to the previous conversation.
This is local on your Mac and is nothing to do with any 'sync' over the iMessages servers.
The longest time I have experienced was using my iPhone on a hotel WiFi on a Friday evening away form home and picking up those same iMessage on Sunday evening when I turned my Mac on.
The iMessages servers "push" the iMessages to the devices it thinks are Registered.
However this only happens once. When the device has the iMessages the servers stop sending it.
This is to stop what you seem to describe - the endless attempt to delete the same iMessages.
It is more likely you are talking about the "history" feature.

Both the 'delete' button and in the menu options do not delete messages but change them to unread. How can I remedy this?

The delete function seems to no longer work in Thunderbird. Both the 'delete' button and in the menu options do not delete messages but change them to unread.
I have tried to fix it by deleting the trash / deleted files as suggested in another thread but it made no difference. The delete key still works to delete things outside of Thunderbird (including here for example).
I have not uninstalled / reinstalled. I have rebooted a couple of times and it hasn't made any difference.
I did go through and delete a huge number of old emails a few days ago, but I have cleared out the Deleted folders and it made no difference.
All suggestions appreciated.

Right click on any of the other right panel headers in Slideshow module to open the context menu. You should be able to reactivate the Options panel from there.

Can not delete messages

I can not delete messages from the inbox or the junk box. I can not drag messages to the trash box. I have downloaded and reinstalled Thunderbird but still does not work. All other functions seem to work.
It is possible to move messages from the inbox to the junk box but can not delete them from their.

Thanks for your help and suggestion. This fix did not work. I can now move messages to the junk folder then using right click, empty junk the messages are deleted. They do not go to the trash folder however. I guess this work around will work but its not the way it should be.

When I try to delete an email, I get a message which says "The message could not be moved to the mailbox trash". How can I delete messages?

When I try to delete an email, I get a message whih says "The message connot be sent to the mailbox Trash. How can I delet messages?

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

Can't delete messages using delete key in Outlook 2007

After upgrading to Exchange 2010, we are seeing an intermittent problem where users in Outlook 2007 can't delete messages from their inbox using the delete key. Opening the message and clicking delete from there will delete it from the inbox.
They can also drag the messages from the inbox to deleted items.
The issue comes and goes during the day. One minute delete will work and then it won't and then it will again.
Thanks,
Crystal

Hi Crystal,
How many uses have the issue?
Did you check the Outlook add-in or Anti-Virus application?
Please check whether there is any error/warning event in the Event Viewer.
Please recreate the Outlook profile for user if possible.
Please try to run the cmdlet New-MailboxRepairRequest.

How do I delete excess email messages from my iPhone. There are 300 messages listed, and every time I delete some, more are added from old messages. How do I limit the number of messages that can appear on my phone? How can I delete messages in bulk,

You can't.
All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the Photo Library. The photos in the album or albums below are not duplicates - they include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. This way you can view the photos in a particular album only by selecting the album, or you can view all photos available in all albums by selecting Photo Library.
Just as with an iTunes playlist. A song cannot be in an iTunes playlist unless the song is in the main iTunes library. Placing a song in a playlist does not duplicate the song. Remove the main iTunes library or the songs from the main iTunes library that are in a playlist and the songs will no longer be in the playlist either. This way you can listen to the songs in the playlist only by selecting the playlist, or all songs in your entire iTunes library by selecting Music under Library in the iTunes source list.
The same with iPhoto on a Mac. A photo cannot be in an in iPhoto Event or Album unless the photo is in the main iPhoto library. Placing a photo in an Event or Album does not duplicate the photo. This way you can view the photos in an iPhoto Event or Album only by selecting the Event or Album, or all photos in all Events or Albums.

HT203180 How can I delete old rental movies that are still on my iPad, but no longer viewable?

How can I delete old rental movies that are still on my iPad, but are no longer viewable because the rental has expired?

I have a similar problem. The default answer on the web is to open Videos on your iPad, then touch and hold the movie you wish to delete, then tap the little cross that appears. Alternatively, you can connect to iTunes, select your device in the list, scroll down to the Rentals summary and delete from there.
I have a problem with both of these solutions! The Video App on my iPad does not contain any video icons, just an option to browse my shared library, so I can't delete it from there... ANd in iTunes, the movie in the Rntals tab on my device summary is greyed out, so I can't do anything from there either. But the movie is taking up 2.5 Gb....
Can someone please offer an alternative to resetting the device entirely?!

for some reason i have more than one apple id, not sure how, must have set one up ages ago and forgot about it. can i delete one, or merge them? how do i know im not going to lose info if i delete one account?

You can neither merge or delete them. Pick one and stop using the other. If they both have purchases associated with them you will have to keep using both.

I have full signal and have wifi but I'm can't send messages or receive them. I can't make phone calls either.

HI
I have full signal and have wifi but I'm can't send messages or receive them. I can't make phone calls either. it picks and chooses when I can receive them and make calls. It only works everytime I turn my phone off.

Try turning on Airplane mode for a little bit (20-30 seconds) and turn it back off. see if that doesn't allow you to re-connect.
In my current project my office receives no signal at all. I have to do this almost every time I leave the office in order to get a signal.

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.
