Cannot delete an mailbox folder from email client

Somewhere along the way I created a mailbox folder entitled Nøtz - that folder does not appear on any iOS devices nor in my Mac mail, it does however, show up in other email clients that I use such as Thunderbird, however, the folder is somehow invaild; likely due to the ø character in the name...
I don't need the folder and would like to delete it because it is giving these other email client fits... since I can't see it in iCloud, on my Mac, nor any iOS devices I can't delete it, it's like a phantom specter!!
Any ideas on this?
Thanks,
Gary

I also have this problem. I have it in every email client I use IMAP in (Thunderbird and Apple Mail). I used a non alpha numeric character (so not foreign, but I think one was a slash, the other may have been a dash or dot). I would LOVE to delete them, but the error says that these foldes 'don't exist on the server' but obviously, that's where they came from... (using GoDaddy and their interface in webmail does NOT show these folders, so I can't delete them there either). At a minimum, I would like to unsubscribe them or hide them, so they don't clog my left side folder navigation. Can you not hide folders in the sidebar in Apple Mail (Mavericks)?

I need to remove an AOL email account that is not attached to my Apple ID. This is on an iPAD. It is not showing in Accounts. However, I cannot delete the mailbox,. Please advise

I need to remove an AOL email account that is not attached to my Apple ID.
I am receiving email and I cannot delete the mailbox. Please advise.
the account is not viewable in settings.

I am assuming that this mail is coming into the Mail App, not another third party app, correct?
Is the AOL account showing up as its own mailbox in the mail app? (e.g. I see "All inboxes", "iCloud", and a third mailbox that is my second email address.)
Every "mailbox" except the "all inboxes" are going to be in the settings under mail, Contacts and calendars.
If the mail is coming into a mailbox that isnt the AOL mailbox, then it sounds like you have your AOL mail being forwarded to another email adress.

After loading iOS 8.0 on my iPad Air, I cannot delete a mailbox in my iCloud email account. I get kicked to the home screen. Anyone else having this problem?

delete mailbox - how else do you propose to do that. Unless by "deleting mailbox" you mean something else.

HT201320 Have an 'other' email set up on iPhone 4s; cannot delete or move messages from inbox. Help?

Have an 'other' email set up on iPhone 4s; cannot delete or move messages from inbox. Help?

Try resetting the iPhone,
Reset your iPhone by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPhone will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
If the does not work then delete that email account and set it up again,
Settings > Mail > select the account > delete account.
Take a note of the account settings before doing this to help you set it up again.

Cannot login via ssh/sftp from certain clients

Hi Guys,
Strange issue here. I have a machine running 10.7.4 that I want to be able to access via sftp/ssh.
I can login into the machine in terminal using either ssh or sftp.
I cannot however login to the machine from finder via sftp. I am just told the username/password is wrong.
Equally I cannot login to the machine from certain clients on my android phone (the main reason I need sftp)
I can however login from cyberduck on the other machines I have, and from some clients on my android phone.
When a mac is denied access it gives authentication failed as the reason, when a android client is denied access it gives network communtaction issues as its reason for failing, not authentication.
From memory these issues started when smb broke for me in 10.7.3.
Can any one shed any light on this?
Cheers

How can I delete a photo folder from my iphone 4s?

how can I delete a photo folder from my iphone 4s?

Hey Ravengirlaa,
Great question! The answer is going to depend on how the photos were originally organized:
A) The albums were synced to your iPhone from iTunes
B) The albums were manually created on your iPhone from photos in the Camera Roll
The following excerpt would apply for situation B:
excerpt from page 71 of the iPhone User Guide - http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
If the photos were synced from your computer, please refer to this article (section "To delete photos and videos from your device"):

How to sync apple air 2 email with iphone 6 but not delete from email client

My boss recently purchased a IPad air 2. How do I keep Ipad air 2 and iphone6 in sync? He want the emails to be removed from the other device if he deletes from one, but to not be removed from mail email client. I am new to apple products and have no idea how to make this work.

No, that is the way that Blackberry mail used to work. The Apple mail connects directly to the mail server. The use of multiple mail clients with POP accounts is a pain, and is not how that type of mail was designed to be used. Not sure exactly why he wants to delete the mail from the individual clients, but IMAP works so much better as it keeps everything in sync, and will reflect when mail is read on one client and will show it as read on others, if he finds it necessary to check mail on multiple clients.

I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
Note: @mac.com and @me.com Apple IDs can not be renamed. If you no longer use the .mac or .me email address be sure to add your valid email address as an additional email address.

Is there any way to delete the favorites folder from the mac mail sidebar?

I recently made the mistake of flagging two email messages. Immediately I now see a "Flagged" icon in my Mac Mail sidebar, right under the Inbox. I the "unflagged" the messages. They went away but the Flagged icon won't. It now seems to be a permanent fixture of my mail sidebar. Is there any way to move, relocate or delete a mailbox icon you don't use and don't want to see?

There's no "downgrade" from OS X Server 10.6 Snow Leopard Server to client.
Acquire the current OS X client software, boot the DVD and use Disk Utility to erase the target disk, and reinstall the software.
Leaving the box with the server software running, with the services stopped, adds negligible performance overhead. If any.

Cannot delete icon services cache from trash.

Hi everyone, I have a 15" macbook 2014 running yosemite. I was having trouble with a download that was stuck on pause so I thought I would empty the cache for the mac store. I trashed a file named com.apple.iconservices.store. That was fine I rebooted and OS X recreated cache as normal. After that I am not able to delete folder from trash because it says the files inside the folder are in use. the files have names like this 1AEDA0FE-C8DB-52F8-3A88-57A134262EB1.isdata. I have managed to unlock the folder by changing the permission settings and I removed a file and changed its name thinking it wouldn't recognize the file. I still get an in use prompt even with a bogus name. Any suggestions? should I just ignore this file in the trash? seems like if it is going to be a problem I should just revert back to an older time machine since it has only been a week at this point. thanks.

Hi Jaron,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
If you have cache or data files in the Trash that cannot be deleted, try the methods in this article such as holding Option when emptying the Trash:
You can't empty the Trash or move a file to the Trash - Apple Support
If the Trash still can't be emptied after trying the methods in this article, try Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks on your Mac's startup disk.

Deleting hidden opt folder from HD

I'm trying to find a way of deleting a hidden folder named "opt" that can only be seen in the string of files left over from a previous installation of Check Point's Secure Client. It contains a sub folder "CPsrsc-50" that I believe is preventing a Secure Client upgrade from being installed.
Is this a job for Terminal and if so what do I enter to delete this folder?
Thanks.

Matthew
If you're a nervous novice with the terminal (and so am I) there are several ways to 'see' invisible files. One such is Pathfinder (http://www.cocoatech.com), an alternative to the Finder. (On the menu bar ->View -> Sow Invisible Files). You can download a fully functional demo.
There are other utilities that will do this also.
One caveat: There are a lot of hidden files out there, and most are hidden to prevent people who aren't very sure what they are doing from doing damage. So delete with extreme caution.

Cannot create new mailbox folder on my mac.

I am trying to add a new mailbox folder and gives me error cannot create on your mac? What is this all about?

Apparently, Mail has a bug that causes ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes to sometimes be a file instead of a folder, and that prevents Mail from creating any mailboxes there.
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, proceed as follows:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/.
3. Locate Mailboxes. If it’s a file instead of a folder, move it to the Trash.
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.
