Can't delete or move some messages

After upgrading to Leopard, I checked my mail and got several hundred messages. At least half of them have the following properties: (1) they are blank when I open them (2) I cannot delete them (3) I cannot move them to another mailbox manually (4) Mail rules will not move them automatically.
As I upgraded, I moved some files around manually, like preference files, to get Mail up and running, so I may have corrupted something.
Any ideas?

A little more info - my Inbox is now working correctly with new messages, but I can't get rid of the existing faulty messages. I've tried deleting the "INBOX.mbox" file but they just won't go away.
Thanks!

    Delete your mail account/s and re-add them.

  • 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.

  • Nokia E72: Memory full. Delete or move some data f...

    HI All,
    I've recently purchased a Nokia E72 phone for business use and after about three days of trouble-free operation it has suddenly run out of space on the phone system drive C:. This is very surprising as I am not aware of installing any apps or generating any content on C: since the last time I verified the available space exceeding 120 MB.
    I keep on getting a message "Memory full. Delete or move some data from C: Phone memory.", am unable to enter the menu and the phone keeps on rebooting.
    I've read a couple of posts from others experiencing this problem on various places on the Internet but no signs of a solution. Does anybody else have the same problem and/or knows the solution?
    I would really appreciate any advice you could give me!
    Thanks,
    Jan

    This is just my experience of "older" phones and memory issues; 
    If Opera (mini) is installed, uninstall it.
    Restart the phone...reinstall this "critical" application on C.

    hold your finger on the part of the message you want to delete. This will give you the copy and more option. Choose more, and then you will be able to choose the message or messages you want to delete. Once selected you will be able to tap the trash can icon on the bottom of your screen.

  • 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.

  • 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.
    Message was edited by: Tyrun

    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.

  • Can't Delete or Move Mail for Exchange Account

    I am using Mail to connect to my work e-mail.  It's an Exchange account.  Every time I try to move an e-mail I get: "messages could not be moved to the mailbox XXX".  If I try and delete an e-mail message I get "messages could not be moved to the mailbox Trash".  If I click on the question mark on the pop-up dialog, I get :
    The selected topic is currently unavailable.
    The topic you were trying to view could not be found.
    The lack of detailed error message doesn't allow me to send a detailed query to our IT support team.  I don't see how they can help me when I have no details about the error.
    I didn't get this error before I upgraded to Lion.  Anyone having similar problems?  Is there a way to get better error messages?
    ...Stephen

    I have the same problem regularly and also don't know how Mail can recover from this situation. One way I figured out is to delete the local Exchange folder when Mail is not running. If you then start Mail again it automatically rereads your whole mailbox from the server. But only remove the Exchange mailbox if you have any others .
    You can find it at <user>/Library/Mail/
    Actually, I have a folder V2 there and my exchange folder is inside this one.
    Hope that helps for a quick fix.
    Nevertheless, I'm also interested in a "user friendly" solution. It seems that Mail struggles at some points and then dos not resync with the exchange server again. Don't know why, because I thought that the Exchange server is the leading instance for that mailbox. By the way, I had this problem also with Snow Leopard.

  • What happens to the conversation when you delete or move a message?

    I've always been a bit unclear what happens to other message in a thread/conversation when you delete or move the current message you are reading.
    Therre are 3 relevant view settings it seems:
    Organize by conversation (turned on).
    Display selected message only (not selected - why would one want to select this if organizing by conversation? Is there a use for that?)
    Show/Hide related messages (turned on so I can see replies I sent in the conversation).
    If I want to move the current message I'm reading, it seems to move the entire conversation to the target folder. But that's not what I want to do.
    Yet if I delete the current message I think it only deletes that one message.
    I'm a bit confused about how to think of this. Sometimes I see messages show up under "related messages" that are a year old that I thought I long deleted.
    Any easy way of thinking about how this is all working?
    Thanks,

  • Can't delete iTune Movies from  my hard drive

    Hi,
    I wondered if anyone could help...
    I maxed out my hard drive with iTune Movies and music, and have been trying to transfer to an external hard drive which is fine, but... I can't delete them from my laptop's hard drive (Vista on Sony Vaio). I don't have the same problems with the music at all, just the movies.
    I'm running out of space, help!
    Thanks
    A

    OK, so that tells us it's the operating system permissions for your account.
    In WE, go to the top-level music folder.
    Right-click > Properties and go to the Security tab.
    Give your windows userID *full control* and ownership of that music folder and make sure to apply those settings to all child/subfolders.
    This web page has some Windows 7 screenshots - I think they look the same for Vista.

  • HT3842 How can i delete a movie on my iPad that never downloaded and when I try to download it it says sorry cant be downloaded at this time,try again later??? I just want t delete it so I can try to start over and watch what I paid for?? any ideas???

    I need help deleting a movie on my ipad that says installed but never downloaded. if i try to download it i get a message that says " unable to download .please try again later" Any ideas??? BTW the movie downloaded onto my mac but not my ipad...

    oh and this message is also on my iphone 5
    now with the phone I do have some options that I dont see with my iPad 3. but I stil do not see a way to delete this dang conversation
    I get the same message when I open it from my iphone 5..."there was a problem connecting to facebook" there isnt a problem though
    if i swipe left I see standard Friends at top, below it listsclose friends, family, then a help center, account settings, privacy settings, log out, etc. I dug around there for a while but didnt see any option to delete messages.
    if i swipe right I see the word Favorites at the top. above that is a search option. to the right is a weird little symbol kinda like a wheel with gears on it. if i click that it gives me the option of Turn off Chat or Cancel. I did both, it just greys out the friends list that appears. If I click a name, the previous conversation appears. nothing to delete from there, just contact info if I click the i symbol or back to news feed.

  • Can't delete or move PDF

    I am using Acrobate Pro version 9.5.1 on a Windows 7 64 bit machine.
    Once I have created a PDF, I find I am unable to move or delete the file. If I reboot the machine, I can delete or move the file, but as soon as I open a PDF, the problem is back until I reboot again.
    It appears others have had the same problem, but I don't see any solutions. Does anyone have any suggestions or workarounds?
    TIA,
    Joe Parsons

    Hello,
    This may not be directly related, but I just (March 2015) ran into a problem I have not seen before and we move LOTS of PDF files across all kinds of networks and network locations. 
    We have seen a related behavior.
    If the PDF worked BEFORE the MOVE, COPY, or RENAME, it should work AFTER the move, copy, or rename.
    However, we have seen where if AFTER the MOVE that you cannot OPEN the PDF with Adobe (or move or copy the file to a new location) that perhaps your NEW PDF File name and DATA PATH structure is not well under 255 characters.
    For some reason either ADOBE or WINDOWS (XP for sure) has a problem with PDF File name and DATA PATH structures that near, equal to or are great than 255 characters.
    Make sure AFTER (ideally BEFORE) you MOVE, COPY, or RENAME PDF Files, that your resulting PDF File name and DATA PATH structure is under 255 characters, otheriwse you will may not be able to MOVE COPY RENAME or OPEN the PDF's in the NEW location until after your PDF File Name and DATA PATH structure is under 255 characters in total length.
