Can't move email from Inbox

I am unable to move 1 in every 10 messages out of my Inbox to me.com mailboxes. I get the following error:
The IMAP command “APPEND” (to XXX/YYYY) failed with server error: Message contains invalid header.
What can I do to fix this? It makes Mail almost unusable?

This is probably an indexing problem, but may be beyond what Rebuild of one or two mailboxes can fix. Try purging the Envelope Index. For how to do this, see:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/3.0/en/14019.html
Take note of the methodology when IMAP accounts are involved. For peace of mind, you might make a duplicate of the Mail folder (Home/Library/Mail) and drag the resulting copy to the Desktop for temporary backup.

Can't move emails from inbox to mailboxes

I am trying to move files from my Mail inbox to other mailboxes. As soon as I close and reopen my inbox all the messages reappear. Any ideas why this might have started happening?

I'm having the same problem. It's only since I downloaded recent updates that it started causing this problem. I have logged a fault on the feedback page but might be worth logging one yourself so they can start fixing ASAP

I have two new problems that started today- I can't delete drafts and I can't move emails from my inboxes to folders in mailboxesleft column ( I work on a MacBook 10.7.5- I have 2 active email accts in Apple Mail

I have two new problems that started today- I can't delete drafts and I can't move emails from my inboxes to folders in mailboxes in the far left column. I work on a MacBook 10.7.5- I have 2 active email accts in Apple Mail. Any suggestions for steps I can take short of going to genius bar?

However after part of the Itune update completed a message came up on the screen
saying "The feature you are trying to use is on a net work resource that is unavailable.
Which particular .msi file does the message go on to say cannot be found? (Several different .msi files might be mentioned in this context: itunes.msi, bonjour.msi, AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi, etc.)

Can't move mail from Inbox to Folders nested within the Inbox after SP2 RU7 update

I'm running Exchange 2010 SP2 RU7 (Recently upgraded from SP2 RU3) after this upgrade it appears that I have users who can no longer move mail from their inbox into folders that are nested in their inbox. (not .pst folders) these folders reside on the server
with the mailbox. When the users try to move a mail they receive and error message that says "Cannot move the items. The item cannot be moved. It was either already moved or deleted, or access was denied." This behavior is always from a 2007 Outlook
Client (always)
From OWA when we try to perform the same action the error that comes up is "Some items could not be moved. This may be because the folder has reached it's size limit."
From 2010 Outlook client (NO PROBLEMS) can move mail without issue.
I've ensured the users mailbox is well within it's size limit. This is mailbox that has a 25G limit because of it's use. It currently using 4 gigs of space out of the 25g.
EVEN STRANGER....it's not all emails that are having the issue moving. It appears to be any / all emails that are generated. There's no one domain (at last count there were 29 different unique domains these emails are coming from). What I mean by generated
emails are emails coming out of ERP systems or CRM systems. Such as invoicing or process ordering. I don't know if that's just coincidence or not, but we've consistantly had no issues moving mail out of the inbox into folders as long as it was sent by a live
user mailbox.
Thanks for any feedback

Hi,
Based on my research, it’s a known issue that some users cannot delete some messages after installing Exchange 2010 SP2 RU6 or SP3:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2822208
And I recommend you try Martina’s suggestion.
Moreover, I also recommend you try to use MFCMapi to move emails from inbox to subfolder.
1) Download MFCMapi (found at: http://mfcmapi.codeplex.com/).
2) Run the tool on your client machine and click "Session" -> "Logon".
3) Select the Outlook profile in which you have been trying to move the data.
4) Double-click the container that shows the users' email address.
5) Expand "Root - Mailbox" and "IPM_SUBTREE".
6) Right-click on "Inbox" and select "Open contents table"
7) From here you will want to locate one of the encrypted messages and right-click on it and copy it to the sub-folder that has been your target when using Outlook.
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks,

Move email from Inbox to Local Folder using Message Filter moves header only, not contents.

I created a Message Filter to move email from Inbox to a Local Folder based on Date. The email headers were moved, but not the contents. Since I'm using IMAP, all the emails were deleted from the server.
I searched for similar problems and I followed one suggestion to "repair" one of the target Local Folders, but that made things worse. Now the header information (Subject, From, Date (now set to the date the transfer was done, not the email received date) is all blank.
The Local Folder properties indicate the email is contained in
mailbox:///C:/Users/Ted/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/c65xcqqf.default/Mail/Local Folders/Archives.sbd/2010
I can see the messages from other Local Folders here, but the ones "moved" are empty.
Should this location be changed?
Is there some way to recover the email contents?

Can't move emails from one account to another in native Mail app IOS 7.0.3

I can select an email and click on move, and MAIL looks like working (the animation seems to move the email to a different account folder) but indeed is not moving the email! This was working with the previous release of IOS
Mail works if I try to move email to a folder belonging to the same account.
I need to move email from my university account to my gmail to store it! And I can't create an alias in gmail because of my university (stupid) security policies.
Thank a lot for your help.

Hi Kobe Zhang
Option 1:
Your MSN account might be deleted but the eprintcenter wont be deleted along with it.
You should be still able to login to eprintcenter account using the old msn id and the same old password for eprintcenter account which you used regularly.
If you have forgot the password, i dont know how can you recover it.
If you get a chance to login then you can remove the printer from the old account and then claim it in your new account created usign hotmail ID.
If you are not worried about changing your printers email ID, here is option 2.
One more option is to de register the printer and register it again to cloud to get a new email address which can be used to claim the printer in your new account and then customize your email ID there. But be aware that you might not be able to set the same customised email ID which you have used in your old account.
Kind Regards,
Olilloyd

Can't move emails from one account to another, some accts greyed out.

I am using the iphone 4s and ios 6 I have two gmail accounts and one outlook exchange accout through work. I used to be able to move messages from 1st gmail to the second or even to the outlook exchange acct just fine. Now depending on which acct I am starting in, some of the other accts are greyed out and I can't click on them. What has happened and how can I fix this? I think this may have been in another thread but I didn't see anything specific or any fixes.
Thank You

I have similar problem here which problem began this morning. When attempting to move an image file to a folder (something I've done a kazillion times) an error message pops up:
The item "*.jpeg" could not be moved because "Raw Images" cannot be modified.
No amount of changing file permissions makes any difference. Redoing the image with PhotoShop doesn't help. Tried to move an image file I created years ago and get same message. Also changed permissions on destination folder - no effect.
I can however move the same recalcitrant file to a backup HD or a memory stick without problem. Can also move same file into iPhoto with no problem.
Ran Applejack utility - no difference.
Is this a virus or Trojan Horse of some kind??? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Can't delete emails from inbox

Anyway to delete emails from your inbox or other folders other than the mail application. I have multiple emails from the same server that when I delete, they disappear momentarily then I return to my inbox and they all reappear. I made them divert directly to my trash, yet I still cant delete them from the trash folder,
Thanks

What kind of email account - POP, IMAP, Exchange?
Who is running the server?

Can't delete email from inbox

When I drag emails from the Inbox to Trash, nothing shows up in Trash on My Mac or iCloud. And the deleted emails are back in my Inbox.

Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox. Try again to delete the message.

How can I automatically move emails from different accounts to one inbox?

Hi! I have several accounts. Some of them are my older email accounts that I do not really use, but I keep them to make sure that I will not miss emails from old contacts. I know I can create a filter to move emails from Inboxes of different email accounts to the Inbox of one account. But how can I move emails from the spam boxes of different email accounts to the Inbox of one account? Thank you!

They are really "spam" folders? Thunderbird doesn't use the term "spam" and any such folders are almost certainly provided provided and populated by your email provider or anti-spam software. If this is the case, there's probably little you can do to change it.
You can create filters, but filters operate automatically only on the Inbox and you'd have to run them manually on your spam folders.

After adding a new account, I can't delete emails from the inbox of this account.

I just added a sixth account to my Thunderbird installation. There was no problem adding the account and I can send and receive emails without problem. However, I cannot delete emails from the inbox. What should I do to correct this?

It is a POP account.
I just backed up the profile.
I don't know the size of the inbox nor how to see what it is nor change it. However, the inbox for this account is currently empty. (Yes, I know this post is about not being able to delete emails from the inbox, so how can it be empty? In my research I found a post of someone with the same problem who discovered he could move emails from the inbox to another folder and then delete that folder (not the individual mails in the folder, but only the entire folder). That is how I emptied the inbox, but it is a very cumbersome work around that I shouldn't have to do.

Every time I move emails from the inbox to another mailbox, then click on any mailbox, and then go back to the inbox, the moved messages have returned to the inbox

Every time I move emails from the inbox to another mailbox, then click on any mailbox (the emails are there fine), and then go back to the inbox, the moved messages have returned to the inbox. I have moved them out of the inbox to other mailboxes again and again, but then they keep showing up in the inbox again as soon as I click on any mailbox other than the inbox. Very frustrating.
This has only happened since I installed Mavericks on both my Macbook Pro and my iMac. It happens on both of them.
Any ideas how to fix it?
peter

This may be one of the known issues with Gmail and it's IMAP settings working with Maverick's Mail.
It all comes down to if you have the ALL MAIL folder visible or not via IMAP.
If you do not, then you get the behavior you are describing.
If you do have ALL MAIL visible, then there isn't a problem.
Odd, I know.
Anyway, check out this article on Wired which describes the problem and work around. You may have to click on the NEXT button at the top of the window to advance to the proper gallery image that describes this issue:

I deleted all my emails from inbox and trash, but the mail "file" has 2GB. How can I permantely delete this information from my iphone4?

How can I permantely delete email information from my iphone4?
I deleted all my emails from inbox and trash, but the Mail "file" still has 2GB...

Does anyone have an answer to this problem? It's been 4 or 5 days now and iCloud still says I have 0kb of 5GB available, and 6.1GB of mail on iCloud. I guess that's better than yesterday when it said I had 8.3GB of mail. Does anyone know if it simply takes Apple a week to actually empty a mailbox?
thanks in advance, hopefully tomorrow it says I have only 4GB of non-existent mail and I can start using it again...

Recieved email from WHICH with [Request ID :##55675##] : in the subject heading is crashing my THUNDERBIRD when I move the email from INBOX to local folders

Recieved email from Computer Help at WHICH magazine with [Request ID :##55675##] : in the subject heading is crashing my THUNDERBIRD (and other programs) when I move the email from INBOX to local folders. The only work-around found so far is to shut them down with task manager, as they wont otherwise close.
However if I move the Reply with the same subject heading from my SENT box to LOCAL FOLDERS I dont get the problem.
Hav I found a faulty software trap in the base code.
Thunderbird is up to date and it is on a 64kb intel i7 quad processor 8G ram desktop using windows 7 latest update.

To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try one of the following:
*Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
*Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]
; If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.
