Can't delete or move messages unless I quit and restart

Beginning yesterday I was unable to delete or move any messages in any of my 4 accounts. If I closed Tbird than restarted it I could delete and move messages in all accounts for 10 or 15 minutes. Thereafter delete again mysteriously failed to work. It worked again for about 10-15 minutes after closing and restarting. Rebooting the system and running a thorough virus scan did not fix the problem.
Latest version of Thunderbird. Win 7, several email accounts both imap and POP. Problem applies over all accounts both imap and POP. Problem is NOT a corrupted trash folder. Others have reported this problem and no one, as yet, has posted a fix.
The problem is clearly not in the user settings nor a corrupted folder because if it were it would fail all the time. The key is the fact that it works until some time factor disables Delete. Delete is disabled whether TBird is in use during the 15 minutes or not in use during that time.

  • Exchange issue: send/receive mail fine - can't delete or move messages

    Just installed Snow Leopard this morning - excited to finally be able to hook into my company's exchange server. Everything appears to be functioning fine (I can receive and see all messages in my inbox, I can send email fine) however when I try either delete a message or move a message to another folder I receive the following message:
    "The message "XXXXXXX" could not be moved to the mailbox "Trash - [email protected]"
    An error occurred while moving messages to mailbox "Trash - [email protected]""
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any advice/help!
    EDIT: I am not currently aware of what exchange version my company is using.

    I'll third the post. Identical problem, but I'm one of the Exchange 2007 e-mail administrators, so people ask me for answers. The autodiscover worked, so I know the settings are correct. Mail, iCal and Address Book all had no problem with the sync. I am also not being blocked by the firewall.
    I'll start tweaking settings and see if I can make any progress. Just to reiterate what was stated by Tyrun, I can receive and send messages, but I can't move or delete (send to Trash) any messages. I'm running Snow Leopard, which was upgraded from an out-of-the-box fresh install of Leopard on a brand new MBP. All Software Updates have been applied.

  • Message won't send unless i quit and restart mail

    I compose the message and hit send and i get the turning wheel symbol and it just keeps on turning. If I quit mail and then re-start mail, the "out box" messages send immediately. What's going on?

    I've tried every possible solution for this problem -- cleared cache, reinstalled Windows, updated Firefox and Flash, even installed the beta 64-bit version of Flash -- NOTHING helps. Since no one seems to have any ideas about this problem, I'm throwing in the towel on Firefox. The problem has never occurred in IE.

    The process for deleting multiple messages is detailed in the iPhone User Guide:
    Delete, move, or mark multiple messages. While viewing a list of messages, tap Edit. Select some messages, then choose an action. If you make a mistake, shake iPhone immediately to undo.

    Niel,
    thank you for the information...I will try your suggestion tonight.
    Arghhhh. Feel like an idiot - as I was clicking within the 'info' tab of these 'locked' folders, I guess I figured out that I could asign myself these 'locked' folders and open them after selecting a user and typing a password in. At that point, I was not looking forward to double-clicking every 'locked' folder and sub-folder from my restored drive.
    Looks like your suggestion will save me alot of time.
    Will advise with results....
    Dave.

  • How can I sync my email accounts to avoid having to manually delete or move messages

    How can I sync my email on iPad to avoid having to manaually delete or move messages from different accounts?

    Set all your email accounts up as IMAP (instead of POP3) so that the messages are stored on the server. Then whatever actions you take on a message on your iPad will be "in sync" across all other devices/computers you access that email account from.

    How can I delete Skype SMS messages from my I-Pad?

    This is a user-to-user forum. Everyone here is a volunteer. Sometimes it takes longer than two minutes to get answer. Additionally, it's a support forum for Apple products, not Skype. You might get lucky and get an answer, you might not. While you're waiting, why don't you try Skype support?

  • HT1430 I can't delete 2 email messages. All others delete properly, however 2 will not delete no matter what I try. A pop up message comes up and says "cannot not delete"

    I can't delete 2 email messages that I received on the same day from one of my email accts. I have **** down the device and reset the device with no resolution to the problem. I can forward these two messages to our other acct and it will delete from there but returns to my personal email again, repeatedly. All other messages that I have deleted from my acct delete properly. I get a pop up indicating that " the message cannot be deleted". How do I fix this?

    Delete the mail account and setup again.

  • HT1711 can i delete a movie from my computer that i've previously purchased in itunes and then download again when I want to watch it?

    Can i delete a movie from my computer that i've previously purchased in itunes and then download again when I want to watch it?  Seems like this would help me manage storage space.

    Yes, provided the movie is still in the iTunes Store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
