Can't move messages error...

Hello,
Somehow in my GoDaddy imap account in Preferences I had the checkbox for storing sent messages on server unchecked for a few months. So mail.app was storing all of my sent messages in a local on my mac mailbox. I just realized the problem and I restored my preference back to storing my sent messages on server and I thought I'd just copy from my local mailbox back into my Sent mailbox which is stored on server. But everytime I try I get the following error:
The IMAP command “APPEND” (to Sent Items) failed with server error: sockiowrite_msgtimed() failed, rc=4294967295..
I tried moving and copying with the same results. Funny thing is I had something like 840 messages and it did copy around 30 messages but now I'm stuck with the remaining 810 that won't copy. Any advice? Thanks!
rc

I was getting this as well, and figured out a way to fix it on mine:

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?

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 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.

"Unable to Move Message" error in trying to delete emails

I have an Outlook email account pushed to my iPhone 3GS. Some messages that I've received and then deleted via Outlook on my laptop remain on the iPhone and when I try to manually delete them on the iPhone, I get the "Unable to Move Message: The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash" error.
Elsewhere, I've seen people advise to "got to settings > mail > click on e-mail account > advanced > deleted mailbox > then touch the “Trash” box." Unfortunately for me, there is no "advanced" button/tab/etc once I click on my email account.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem, short of completely deleting the email account and then re-installing it? A friend does this (delete/reinstall) for a fix, but says he keeps experiencing the problem after the reinstall.
Thanks for any help!

Unless the email account is an Exchange account being accessed via ActiveSync with the iPhone, a MobileMe account, or a Yahoo account that was created using the Yahoo account preset with the iPhone's Mail application, the account is not being accessed via Push.
It sounds like this account is a POP account. None of the mailboxes with a POP account are kept synchronized with the server with the email client used to access the account as with an IMAP account.
I'm not aware of any other way to fix this problem besides deleting and re-installing the account.

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.

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.

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.

Messages Disappeared/Can't Move Messages to Folder

I am the entire IT department for my company, and one of my users has run into a weird and very troubling problem. For quite some time (years), she has been moving messages from her IMAP account into a local folder. This folder contained hundreds of messages, perhaps even thousands. Several days ago, she attempted to drag a message into the folder, only to have the message jump back to the message list. Concerned, she clicked on the folder to find that it was completely empty. She let me know, and I immediately checked her Library and found that the corresponding folder under Mail is also empty. I can't find any trace of the missing mail anywhere - nothing in the Trash, nothing in Deleted Messages - it's just GONE. The user isn't an expert, but she's far from computer illiterate, and in talking to her I don't have any reason to believe that user error is to blame. Does anyone have any idea why this might have happened (and hopefully tips on how to retrieve the missing mail)? I've verified the hard drive and checked permissions (grabbing at straws) and both were fine.

In fact my 'drag' ability seems to have disappeared altogether... just tried to drag a new option onto my toolbar and drag just doesn't work!

Can't print, message error : grafport

Since I have crash the os 10.3.9 on my PB Lombard, I can't print in X but perfectly in os 9, I can use pdf saving too in X. I experiment two error messages
1. ¨error during printing¨, with few software, like safari
2. ¨Couldn't print the document. There was a problem allocating grafport.¨ with Eudora, email software. Also, the os 9 classic don't open since the crash. I try all kind of clean up, I erase the printer, I reinstall again...
Can I try to reinstall 10.3.9 update ?
Regards,
Jean

Try the 10.3.9 Combination updater (download only).
If that doesn't fix it, I recommend you reinstall OS
X using the Archive & Install option in the installer.
I try the 10.3.9 update, at the end og the installation, the software stop and told me there are some errors. It'i my download update or my os on the PB ?
Regards,
Jean

Can't move messages in Mail Inbox to Trash

When I try to empty my unwanted Inbox messages into Trash I get the following window opening in Apple Mail:
“6593.emlx” couldn’t be copied to “Messages” because an item with the same name already exists.
The same applies whether I go for Select All or try to get rid of individual or smaller nos of messages.
Any ideas, please?

I got around this problem like this:
Preferences --> Accounts --> (select mail account that is giving you the delete-mail problem) --> Mailbox Behaviors tab (within selected email account) --> uncheck box for "Move deleted messages to Trash mailbox."
While this procedure re-allows you to delete messages, they vanish instead of heading to the Trash folder, for later deletion (or un-deletion).

Can't move messages

Did a fresh install of Leopard onto a brand new HD. Legacy email from Tiger ported over.
When I try to move a message from my inbox to a particular folder the message simply gets grayed out without actually moving it. The body of the email is blank.
Any clue what's going on here? The Apple Help thingy isn't very helpful here.

Ok - I answered my own question, but for anyone interested ...
Select the mail folder and choose "Mailbox/Rebuild". It also solved the problem of deleted messages that wouldn't delete, but would simply 'gray' out.

After Lion upgrade Mail can't move messages to trash or send new ones.

Since upgrading to Lion my mail programs have behaved oddly. In Entourage, the search mechanism does not find any messages. Switching to Mail, it is unable to delete messages or send new ones, though I can read mail.
Also I have tried sending docx attachments which the recipients are unable to open even though they normally can open docx. Did something change with Lion?

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.

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.
