Can't move multiple email messages simultaneously.

I am unable to highlight multiple email messages and move them at the same time to a mailbox/folder within the Mail app.
I used to be able to do this with no problem.
When I select multiple messages to move, it successfully moves the first message in the list (removing it from my inbox). The other highlighted messages only get copied to the mailbox and therefore, a copy still stays in the inbox.
It's time consuming and annoying to move each email one by one into my folders within Mail.
HELP!!! Is there something I can do to fix this problem? I believe all of my software is up to date.
Mail 4.2
Mac 10.6.3
Macbook Pro 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Upgraded my OS and Mail app last night and it works now!
Magic!

    HOw can I delete multiple email messages from my ipad and iPhone

    Hello conniefromtulsa,
    The process for deleting multiple messages is detailed in the iPhone User Guide:
    Delete, move, or mark multiple messages. While viewing a list of messages, tap Edit. Select some messages, then choose an action. If you make a mistake, shake iPhone immediately to undo.

  • How can I open multiple email messages with a single click?

    On the Mac mini I use at work, I can select several email messages at a time and open them all up by double-clicking the mouse pointer on any of the selected messages. My MacBook Pro at home seems to lack that functionality, even though both are running the same version of Yosemite. In order to open up multiple messages (each, in its own window) on my MacBook Pro, I need to double-click on each individual message, even though I have multiple messages selected on my MacBook Pro, using Yosemite's Mail app. I assume there is an optional setting that can enable multiple messages to be opened by double-clicking on a single selected message, but I have looked through the Mail app's preferences and I come up empty handed. Can someone please clue me in on how to get this functionality on my MacBook Pro?

    Hi,
    There is another similar icon named Bookmarks in the '''Customize''' window which provides the said functionality. You have to add that.

  • I can't move several emails from my inbox to trash.  I get the message, "Unable to Move."  This is only happening on older emails dated 9/29 and 9/30

    I have an iPad running on 8.1 software.  I have several email messages in my inbox dated 9/29 and 9/30 that I can't move to trash.  I get the message, "Unable to Move."  I'm not having this problem with newer messages.

I'm sorry

  • How do you remove multiple email messages at one time

    I have a iphone 4 and today it started piling up over 4000 undeliverable messages for no apparent reason. I somehow managed to stop the process but I am left with over 4000 messages that I need to delete. How do you remove multiple email messages at one time. I can "mark" all the messages at once but I cannot find the move or delete button to trash the messages. Can some one help me out.
    Thanking you in advance.
    PL

    Just figured it out - I can select multiple messages as you suggested when I am not in full screen mode.
    So once I come out of full screen mode - then the multiple windows open.

  • How to move multiple emails from Mail to my folders on the hard drive

    I would like to be able to move multiple emails at a time from a given mailbox to a selected folder on the hard drive in a format that I can subsequently read.
    I know I can move them one at a time in RTF. And either RTF or HTML would be fine (along with whatever attachments) as a format.
    But I can't seem to find either a command or a format that will allow me to do this.
    My goal isn't archiving -- I want easy access to these emails and their attachments. I just want to get them out of Mail and into the folders on my hard drive that have other documents with related content.
    I would greatly appreciate any advice that someone could give me.

  • How can I delete multiple emails on my Samsung Stratosphere at once?

    How can I delete multiple emails on my Samsung Stratosphere at once? I use AOL and when I delete the emails off of my computer, they do not delete from my phone. So I have hundreds of unwanted messages showing on my phone but I have not found an option to delete all messages, only individually. I would also like to be able to clear the messages from my phone without them deleting from my computer. This was super easy with my blackberry and I have not found anything similar on this phone.

    When I go to the trash folder on my Stratosphere, I can check individual emails and then hit "Menu" and "Delete", but if I hit the "Menu" button before selecting any e-mails, then I see the "Delete all" button, but it's greyed out, so I cannot select it.  There's also a "Restore All" button next to the "Delete all" button, and it's also greyed out.  So, currently the only way I can delete the 100's of e-mails in my trash is to put a check mark next to each one, which is painful.  Anybody else have this problem or know of a solution?

  • How can i move several emails into folders in ipad?

    How can i move several emails into folders in ipad?

    You can sort by using the search feature. When you are in your mail account you use the search bar at the top to find emails from a particular sender (there are Other options as well in search). Type in that sender's address. When the emails show up in the window on the left side, select all of the emails that you want to move. Tap Edit at the bottom and the Move Folder icon will appear. Tap that icon and select the folder that you want to move the emails into.
    To move multiple emails without using the search to sort, go to your inbox and tap Edit. Then select all of the emails that you want to move. After you are done selecting them, tap the Move icon at the bottom on the left side of the account window. When you tap move, you get a choice of folder into which you can place the selected emails.

    Can it be done from an .xlsx file?

    I have tried that, but the system reads the emails as one long email and I can't find any way of separating them - it ignores spaces, colons and I have also tried putting them through a word doc... still does not work. It works perfectly easily on a PC system!! ( I have just moved to a mac!)
    any ideas would be good
    thanks

  • HT1430 I can't delete 2 email messages. All others delete properly, however 2 will not delete no matter what I try. A pop up message comes up and says "cannot not delete"

    I can't delete 2 email messages that I received on the same day from one of my email accts. I have **** down the device and reset the device with no resolution to the problem. I can forward these two messages to our other acct and it will delete from there but returns to my personal email again, repeatedly. All other messages that I have deleted from my acct delete properly. I get a pop up indicating that " the message cannot be deleted". How do I fix this?

    Delete the mail account and setup again.
