Can't move messages between mailboxes

When I move messages, they turn gray in the original folder, and then are not moved. Or maybe some of them are, but most are not. Or they are moved, but then moved back. I thought it might be filters, but am pretty sure all relevant ones turned off. The messages and folders are "on my mac" so imap servers are presumably not involved.

Oh, I just did a bit more searching in the forum here, and found this answer. I tried it and it worked for me:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8994288&#8994288
"Please use Rebuild on the Inbox -- click on Mailbox in the menubar, and choose Rebuild. Be aware that during Rebuild all messages will seem to disappear, but they will come back."
(Thank you to Ernie.)
I have multiple mailboxes -- I had to click on each mailbox individually for Rebuild to work, and I also did the rebuild on one of my archive folders.

Can't move messages between folders

When trying to drag a message into a Public Folder setup for Spam, I receive the following error:
"The IMAP command “UID COPY” (to Public Folders/GFI AntiSpam Folders/This is spam email) failed for the mailbox “INBOX” with server error: There is no replica for that mailbox on this server.."
This is an Exchange 2003 public folder. I've created the account in Mail as an Exchange account (same settings as Tiger - in which this operation was successful).
I can move messages around fine between other folders in the account, just not into any Public Folders.
Anyone got any suggestions?

No, not yet.
I'm going to give support a call tomorrow - if this doesn't get resolved I'm going back to Tiger.

Can't Move Messages in Exchange Account

Hello,
I'm one of very few Mac users in my office and was very excited to find that the Exchange server was finally updated (I think) to allow me to use Mail. I can send and receive messages fine, iCal and Address Book sync as expected but I cannot move messages between any folder. I get the warning "The message "Some Message Name" could not be moved to the mailbox "Some Mailbox name" An error occured while moving messages to mailbox "Some Mailbox name". In viewing the Console Log, here's what I get:
* Assertion failure in -[EWSCopyItemsResponseOperation executeOperation], /SourceCache/Message/Message-1078/MessageStores.subproj/EWSCopyItemsResponseOpe ration.m:47
Copying an EWS message returned success, but didn't have 1 item in the response message, got 0 items; most likely one of the Exchange Server components is not running Service Pack 1 Update Rollup 4
I was under the impression that I wouldn't be able to even connect to the Exchange server without the above version update. As somebody who knows nothing about the structure of an Exchange server, are there multiple components that need to be updated rather than a combo type update?

I've got the same problem. I'm new to Mac, this is quite frustrating. I can't get Entourage to connect to the Exchange 2007 server, Mail connects and can send and receive messages, but I can't delete messages or move them to folders.
Any ideas?

Rules: can Mail move messages if they are 'X days old'? Seems not!

Hi,
I set up a bunch of rules on Mail, to move messages that were sent from certain people and that had been in my Inbox for a certain minimum period of time into special folders so as to automate the cleanup of my Inbox to some degree.
For example, the rule for messages from my work is as follows.
If ALL the following conditions are met:
From Contains (name of company mail server)
Date Received Is Greater Than 3 Days Old
Perform the following actions:
Move Message to mailbox Work
Right, so this works the first time I write it, and never again after that. I would have thought that whilever the rule was active, if Mail ever detected that there were messages from work that had been sent more than 3 days ago, it would automatically move them, but it doesn't. Since setting the rule up months ago it only ever worked the first time I wrote it and it asked if I wanted to apply it.
What am I doing wrong? Or is what I'm asking for not actually possible with the rules?
Cheers,
Owen

Hi Owen
rules are applied 1: when mail is received, 2: (optionally) when the rule is first set up, and 3: if messages are selected & the 'apply rules' menu command chosen.
to apply rules to messages you’ve already received, select the messages in the viewer window and then choose Message > Apply Rules.
A smart mailbox will evaluate constantly, although I appreciate that's not the same thing.

Apple mail error when attempting to move messages between accounts

I'm trying to move mail from my inbox into an archive account on gmail. I've never had a problem in the past, but now when I attempt to move any messages, an error dialogue pops up that says: "xxx messages could not be moved to the mailbox..." "invalid arguments: unable to parse messages." Could anyone help me correct this error?

If I try and add a -targetserver myserver-2k3-dc1.xyz.com to :
$user | Move-ADObject -targetpath $newdn
i receive:
Move-ADObject : Can't move objects with memberships across domain boundaries as once moved, this would violate the membership conditions of the account group. Remove the object from any account group memberships and retry
...which sort of blows my mind. Not sure if this is helpful or not. Just wanted to add

Outlook 2010 - mail item move rule between mailboxes

Hi,
I have Outlook 2010 with Exchange 2010 SP1 environment.
I'm having an issue with setting up a move rule to another shared mailbox to which the user has full permission on Outlook.
Whenever I try to set up a rule to move a specific item from a specific user, it throws the below error.
"the attempted operation failed. an object could not be found"
Is it possible to apply rules that move items between two different mailboxes? Also is it possible to apply a server-side rule with cmdlet?
Cheers,
John

Hi John,
I have some tests in my environment using Exchange server 2010 with Outlook 2010. If you create a Inbox rule to redirect messages using OWA, you will have a copy of these messages on your mailbox.
If you create a transport rule to redirect messages that are sent to you, you won't have a copy of these messages on your mailbox.
Hope my clarification is helpful.

Can't move messages to trash on iPhone 5

I created a new IMAP email account on my iPhone 5. When I try to delete a message, I get a message saying ?Unable to Move Message. The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash."
I've had an IMAP account on this phone from a previous hosting service, no problem to delete messages. I have no problem deleting from the same account on my laptop and tower. I'm wondering what the issue might be.

Good day mate,
Recently, I adjust my settings because of the error message.
Here's the guide:
How-to fix this error
1. Press the Home button on your iPhone and choose Settings.
2. Scroll down and click “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” from the list.
3. Click your email account – it should have an arrow to the right of the email address displayed.
4. Scroll to the end on the settings and click Advanced.
5. Scroll down and tap the empty IMAP Path Prefix.
6. Enter INBOX in capitals, then click ‘Accounts’ at the top left and click ‘Done’ at the top right twice to close the settings.
7. Press the Home button and then re-open Mail.
8. You will now be able to delete or move your emails on your iPhone without the error message appearing!
I hope this will help :)
Cheers!

Can't move messages around

I am using Gmail+Mail 3.5.
The inbox messages can't be moved/deleted. When I move messages to other folders, The messages will turn to grey but stay in the inbox. The target folder will have a copy of the message in regular color.
Before that, it seems Mail break my internet connection couple times. Maybe it is related.
Thanks,

I'm having these problems too. Initially I couldn't move the message from the inbox to another folder; the subject would grey and no movement would happen. I shut down Mail and then on reopening, found several copies of the message in the box I'd moved it to, plus the original still in the inbox. The copies did not show any content. However, I noticed an older message of the same title and same sender within that box, which opened correctly. I tried deleting the copies and they just went to the grey color and did not delete. Other than shutting Mail, I don't know of any work around.

Best Method To Organize (move) Messages (many Mailboxes to one)

I'm working on reorganizing my Mail messages from unique Mailboxes for certain topics (or senders) to having my messages in Mailboxes by year. Then use Smart Mailboxes to view what I need.
Before I start moving around a lot of messages, I want to make sure what I'm doing will work and not cause any unforeseen side effects.
Right now, I have many (20 or more) Mailboxes that I use to organize all the mail I get. What I want to do is move all my messages from last year (2013) into one new Mailbox.
Here's the method I thought I'd use:
Create a Smart Mailbox > Date Range > 1/1/2013 to 12/31/2013
That should effectively show me all mail messages received last year.
Create a new Mailbox called Mail 2013
Drag all the messages in the above Smart Mailbox into Mail 2013.
My understanding is that this will move all the messages I received in 2013 (which are currently sitting in many different Mailboxes on my Mac) into the newly created Mail 2013 Mailbox. The Smart Mailbox (with the 2013 date range) will still show all the same messages, since it doesn't matter where the messages are located.
Am I correct?
Is this the best method for doing this? Moving messages from many Mailboxes into a few Mailboxes that contain any and all messages within a specific date range.

Hi;
My first question is your ASM cant be mount to your new box? If answer yes than Just create same path,same hostname&Ip for new server(Unplog your existing server cable) than just open your new server and open db.
You may also go wiht RMAN(Even you go wiht clone process you need to use RMAN due to do usage of ASM)
I suggest also see:

After 1.1.1 can't move messages

After the 1.1.1 update, any message I try to move to another mailbox (move from trash to inbox etc.) just disappears! I've already done a complete restore through iTunes to no avail. Every other aspect of Mail, or the iPhone for that matter works fine.
Am I the only one? Please help.
Thanks in advance.
RJohn

I messed around with both this morning, and Yahoo seems to work perfect. It will even sync to whatever you do on your computer online, for ex: I created a save folder for my emails and moved several emails from my inbox to my save folder online via PC. Any changes I made reflected on the iPhone as well and vice versa... I'm still having trouble with Gmail though, I even deleted my account and entered it back in. I also noticed that even if my emails are marked as read online, they still appear as new emails on the iPhone. Again only problems are with Gmail.

Can't get message from mailbox in shell script

I'm using the shell-script workaround for the problem of creating messages from scripts run by a Mail rule. Can't seem to get the syntax right for getting a message passed from the main routine:
Main
<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:800px">using terms from application "Mail"
on perform mail action with messages theMessages
repeat with eachMessage in theMessages
set theID to id of eachMessage
set theBox to name of mailbox of eachMessage
set theAccount to "none"
try
set theAccount to name of account of mailbox of eachMessage
end try
do shell script "osascript Users/dave/Library/Scripts/Applications/Mail/exp.scpt " & theID & " " & theBox & " " & theAccount
end repeat
end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from
using terms from application "Mail"
on run
tell application "Mail" to set sel to selection
tell me to perform mail action with messages (sel)
end run
end using terms from</pre>
Shell
<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:800px">on run TheArgs
using terms from application "Mail"
set theID to item 1 of TheArgs
set theBox to item 2 of TheArgs
set theAccount to item 3 of TheArgs
if theAccount = "none" then
set theMessage to (message of mailbox theBox) whose id is (theID as integer)
else
set theMessage to (message of mailbox theBox of account theAccount) whose id is (theID as integer)
end if</pre>
The conditional is so I can test by selecting messages from either my Inbox or other boxes. Either way, though I get runtime errors like: "Can’t get «class mssg» of «class mbxp» \"INBOX\" of «class mact» \"David\" whose id of it = \"19111\". (-1728)"
I've tried variations, but nothing seems to work.
BTW, how does one view events or results in a shell script? Neither its window nor the main routine's show anything, and even "log" statements in the shell seem to go nowhere.

I think I understand what's going wrong. If I select a message in my Inbox, the shell statement
<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:800px">set theMessage to (message 1 of mailbox theBox of account theAccount) whose id is (theID as integer)</pre>
works. If I select a message from an On My Mac box, though, I can't get theAccount in Main in the first place because there's no account associated with those boxes. That's why I set up the "try" in Main and the conditional in the shell. I see now that
<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:800px">set theBox to name of mailbox of eachMessage</pre>
in Main yields only the name of the box -- any containers it may have are omitted. Therefore,
<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:800px">set theMessage to (message 1 of mailbox theBox) whose id is (theID as integer)</pre>
fails if there are any containers. So, I need a "set theBox" statement in Main that produces a proper path to the message, regardless of where it's located. If I can formulate that, a single "set theMessage" in the shell will suffice, without having worry about whether there's an account. I've experimented with "path to" and will continue casting about, but if the solution is apparent to you, please let me know.
BTW: Echo was a worthwhile "little diversion" for me, because it's led me to a better understanding of what "do shell script" does (i.e., it executes a UNIX command as if it was typed into Terminal) and why it solves the message-creation problem (i.e., it runs the named script as a process that's separate from Mail). I suppose that was obvious to you and many others, but it wasn't to me, despite reading what the AS Language Guide says about it, plus a few Google hits for "osascript." So thank you for that.
One thing I don't understand, though: If I change the command to "echo $1 $2 $3", nothing appears in Terminal. (I can produce files the way you showed just fine.)

Can't move message to a newly created mailbox

I just created a new mailbox in Mail. The mailbox shows up in Mail, in MobleMe, and on my Iphone.
In Mail, when I try to move a message to the new mailbox, i get the following error "message could not be moved to the mailbox “(null)”
Now, when I go to MobileMe or the Iphone, I can move the message. But no luck when I try it in Mail
Never had an issue until now. No software updates lately.
I'm new to the Mac.. Any ideas ?
Thanks !

The problem seems to have disappeared! I was trying to move an incoming message from the inbox to another box by drag and drop and an error message said I couldn't do that. It was one particular message but now it seems to be working. Thanks for the interest.

I can't move messages

I've just made the move from Entourage to Mail. I have a ton of mail that I am now in the process of resorting. (long overdue) Sometimes I get this message - "The message “Subject” could not be moved to the mailbox “New Email Storage/directory”"
Sometimes it works fine, usually if I don't drill down into a sub-folder. New mail is giving me the toughest time - odd.
Any thoughts

I assume you’re moving mail between locally stored mailboxes, right? It could be an index problem, but it’s strange that it would happen right after switching to Mail.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and making sure that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is locally stored.
3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
4. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index — Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.
