Can't Erase deleted Messages with apple-K keyboard command anymore...?

Last few weeks I've noticed that the keyboard command Apple -K will no longer erase deleted message....has anyone else experienced this problem, and if so, is there a workaround? Thanks in advance...
Dual 2.0 Ghz G5, 1 GB RAM, 10.4.3
Power Mac G5 Dual 2 GB (first gen)   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

Same experience here. Addidionally, while I had more than one account configured, for a while, %K would pop up a new dialog box, asking for confirmation. That was unwanted new behaviour too, I think. The dialog box went away when I removed the inactive account, though.
It's not just deleted messages that don't go away: it's the remaining copy of messages moved into other mail folders, too. This leaves "deleted" copies of messages littered throughout my (extensive) imap folder hierarchy. Aargh!
The only work-around that I've found is to use another mail client program to clean up the mail boxes.

  • Erasing deleted messages with IMAP

    My work email account is setup as an IMAP account and is set to just mark deleted messages (and hide them from view, not move to trash). So I've got a smart mailbox setup to collect messages older than a certain date so i can erase really old messages.
    So my question is this: If i right click on the smart mailbox and click "erase deleted messages" will it erase only the messages in this smart mailbox or will it erase all deleted messages in my whole email account?

    awesome.

  • Can I set Mail.app to default "Permanently erase deleted messages when" to Never, for all new accounts?

    When setting up new accounts in Mail.app, I generally remember to set the "Permanently erase deleted messages when:" setting to "Never", in contrast to its harsh default 1-month setting. 
    When I first switched to a Mac years ago (probably around the time of Leopard, or one before), I didn't know of this setting, as it's somewhat buried and not part of the add new account "walkthrough", and I permanently lost serious business mail on a self-hosted mail server, due to this, in my opinion, really stupid default setting. 
    At any rate, as I said, I usually remember to change this, but I recently synched accounts via iCloud to a new machine (a work machine), and for whatever reason, the setting didn't take on one account (just one account; despite being set to "never" on the primary mac from which things sync).  Same problem all over again.
    So, Is there a way I can simply change the default, in the system, so that whenever a new account is created, Mail.app sets the default "erase messages when" time to "Never"? 
    I need to duplicate Gmail (archiving) functionality and thus far this is the best way I have of going about it; leaving those messages in trash on my regular old everyday IMAP servers.
    I did run into this solution – http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22283, though it was for Mail.app in OSX 10.2 (so things have changed now), but I'm willing to bet there is a similar command, more up to date, that might do something similar?  I'd like to run such a command on all of my machines so that ALL new mail accounts created are set to NEVER permanently auto-empty the trash–that should be done when I chose, and when I chose only.

    Open Mail preferences, click on the Accounts icon in the toolbar then select your mail account, click on the Mailbox Behaviours tab on the right. Set the dropdown menu at the bottom for the Never option.
    However, you cannot change the default options set for a newly created account.

  • Erase Deleted Messages - what's the diff btw the options given?

    There is a menu selection called Erase Deleted Messages. It gives three options: In All Accounts, On My Mac, and (me)@(mydomain).com - what's the difference between these three? I can't find the distinctions described anywhere.

    The Mailbox > Erase Deleted Messages commands permanently delete messages already in the Trash. The Trash isn't really a mailbox itself, rather it's a set of mailboxes grouped together: there is a Trash mailbox for each account, plus a Trash mailbox for messages which were previously stored in mailbox folders outside of any particular account (i.e. On My Mac). If you click the small black triangle to the left of the big Trash icon, you'll be able to see and select all these individual Trash mailboxes.
    The different Mailbox > Erase Deleted Messages commands let you choose whether you want to permanently delete messages from all Trash mailboxes or just from one of them.

    Can I sync Outlook 2011 with Apple contacts in the latest Mavericks like I used to do in OSX 10.8.5?

    I might suggest you send links to download the attachments via DropBox or other similar source rather than include in an email.
    Example:  https://www.dropbox.com/s/vqyrdv4zblhjt7o/ShowLibraryMavericks.png
    Have you looked at adding the attachements at the end of the message. Under Edit in the Mail Menu bar select Attachments.
    Attachment Tamer might be worth a look but attachements are always going to be in the body part of the message.

  • How I can restore my deleted messages

    How I can restore my deleted messages and if I want to save some messages where I may save them because there is no option on icloud

    First, setup a different ID for your wife so you can maintain independent contacts, messages, icloud backups, etc.   There is no cost, and it will keep you from having another disappearing contact issue again.
    You can't retrieve contacts that have been deleted.   The addresses you see are cached and can simply be added back as new contacts once you each have your own independent ID set up on each phone.
    You can however use 1 Apple ID for your iTunes and App Store purchases so you don't need to pay twice for the same apps.

         It would be a great resource to have a single User Tip with all relevant links & instructions regarding all aspects of AppleID, password, security, etc.,  in every possible circumstance EDIT (ala tt2's SITEMAP ) END. iCloud was not not specifically referenced in Kappy's Tip or King_P's reply though I did not follow all the links therein. I do not have the stature, or I would craft such a thing. An intuitive title that would show up readily in our snappy Active Search feature would be a good trick. Maybe Kappy would be interested since doing such a thing specific to "Alternatives for Help Resetting Security Questions and Rescue Mail" and including a link to AppleID - he's very good at it. Maybe YOU ??

  • How can I erase deleted items from the hard drive?

    How can I erase deleted files from the hard drive?  Will my machine run faster?

    If you've already deleted the files and emptied the Trash they are already, in effect, erased. At least the disk space they occupied is now available.
    To be able to offer help we need more information about which Mac you have, which OS you are running, how much RAM you have installed, how much hard disk space you have available, etc.
    Go to the Apple Menu>About this Mac - copy and paste the contents of the report here (deleting the serial number of your machine). Once we have that info, I'm sure someone will have some suggestions.

  • How can I lodge a complaint with Apple about quality of products?

    I am about to purchase my fifth or sixth charger for my 13' macbook... of this last year and a half!! I am so unbelievably frustrated with the quality of my charger and the fact that these have to be replaced so often for products that, in just a few months, will stop working. How can I get in touch with Apple to file a complaint of this nature? None of the numbers listed on the contact website correspond with the nature of my complaint.

    lehath9, I don't know if this is the issue you're referring to, but I, too, am terribly frustrated by the amount of money I've spent on genuine Apple chargers in the last 18-24 months. 
    I believe the quality of the chargers has declined significantly and have had to replace, several times over, the chargers that came with my 2nd generation iPad, my iPhone 4S and the latest iPod touch.  The cables/wires are breaking and fraying.  
    I thought perhaps I was being too rough on my cables somehow the first couple times that it happened, but I know that's not the case now.  For comparison, the cables that came with my first two iPod classics and my first Nano are fine. I also took an informal survey via Facebook to see if others have noticed the same issue and got about 20 affirmative responses, all of which stated the problems started with chargers sold in the last 18 months. 
    I've purchased four replacements in the last six months and the third of those 4 is now broken, exactly as the previous 2 replacements and exactly like the three before those.  The rubber/plastic casing for the wires pulls away from the non-USB part of the charger (the end that goes into your ipad/iPhone/iPod).  Once it pulls away the wires are no longer supported and they start to hang at an odd angle (no matter how careful you are plugging, unplugging and positioning the charger in the device) causing them to break and of course preventing a charge from reaching the device.

    If not, could I add the logo animation after outputting to compressor using QuickTime 7?

    Thank you for your thoughts.  I'd like to avoid changing my camera footage to Apple ProRes 422 (HQ).

    Hi Mary,
    I'm new to FCPX too!
    When creating a new project, if you click on Use Custom Settingsand then ckick on the Custom checkbox in Video Properties, you can specifyexactly what you want!
    If you need to change it after the project was craeted, I found that you can click and highlight on the project in the Project Library window, then go over to the "info" button . The Properties window will expand from the right side (above the "info" button . With Properties selected it will show you the present settings, if you need to change those settings, click on the icon of the WRENCH on the bottom of that dialog box (Properties). You can then change your settings.
    Good luck, and happy cutting!

  • How can I open items made with apple works

    How can I open items made with apple works

    You need to purchase Pages for your iMac. You can buy it from the App Store.
    I don't know if the version of Pages for the iPad will open the Apple Works documents. If you have the documents on your Mac and want to open them on your iPad the easiest way I can think of is to open a DropBox (Google it) account and store the documents there. Then you can try to open the documents in Pages on your iPad. If that doesn't work then I know Pages for OS X will open the Apple Works WP documents.
