Cannot delete certain email

I received an e-mail from an unknown person and I cannot delete it from the trash file. The email cannot be moved from one folder within the email either. Any suggestions on how to get rid of the thing? Thanks

Did you try rebuilding the mail box that has the unwanted email? Click Rebuild under the Message heading in the Apple menu.

Your bad charger probably damaged something inside as well. Your hard drive directory may be damaged too.
If you lack a backup, you should read this:

I can't delete certain emails

I have noticed of late that I cannot delete certain emails. I get a message you can see below. Any ideas of what's going on. BTW it's not just one email, it's several.

I did a rebuild of all my email accounts and that seems to have fixed it. Someone posted that on another thread and it worked.

Can't delete certain emails from Mail. Instead, I get the message "An error occurred while moving messages to the mailbox, etc."

I had the same problem, and it was solved by going to the Mailbox menu and selecting "rebuild."

I want to delete certain emails on my ipad but not on my mac. Right now when I delete a message on my ipad it moves to trash in my mac

I want to delete certain emails on my Ipad but not on my mac. Right now when I delete message on ipad it moves message on mac to trash also. Can I change this?

If this is an IMAP account, that is how it is supposed to work. The whole point of IMAP is to keep your email synchronized across multiple access devices.
Instead of trash, you could move those files to a new IMAP folder you create, something like "ignore on iPad" folder.

Cannot delete phantom email

My wife receive email on her iPhone with no subject. When she tapped it, she received another identical email. She cannot delete these emails. How do we delete them?

Try closing out the Mail app. Double click home button, press and hold an app until they jiggle, then hit the red button next to the Mail app.
Load back into it, and see if they are still there and if you can delete them.
If you can't delete inside the email try from the inbox. by hitting the Edit button in the upper right, then tapping the email and hitting the delete button.

Okay, try this:
Open a Messages folder, press the BB menu button and select View Folders. This will bring up a list of all available folders on the device where these messages might be hiding. Have a look and see if you can find them there!

Can't delete certain emails in Outlook 2007

I work at a help desk and was presented with this issue that I can't figure out.
At our company when someone receives a voicemail you can have it attached to an email and sent to the person receiving it. I got a call from one of our employees that can't delete the email with the voicemail attached to it. If she has the message
highlighted and presses the delete key or right-clicks and selects Delete nothing happens, no error message, nothing. If she tries to move the message to another folder she gets the message 'Cannot move the item. The item cannot be moved.
It was either moved, already deleted or access was denied' The message still shows in her inbox so it doesn't appear to have been moved anywhere.
I also had her sign into Outlook Web Access and delete the message there and she got the same error message.
She can hold down shift and then delete the message but that will permanently delete the item, which she doesn't want to do. She can't even move it to an archive file if she wanted to.
This just started happening recently when we upgraded from Win XP to Win 7, but we had Office 2007 on both so that didn't change. We have Exchange 2010.
I have made sure that Cached Exchange Mode is off, I have also deleted and recreated her mail profile. She can delete or move other messages with and without attachments just fine.
Has anyone ever seen anything like this?
Thanks.

Hi,
The workaround is to use Cached Exchange Mode or "Shift + Delete", as the user doesn't want to delete the message permanently, using Cached Exchange Mode is preferred.
Based on my research, this issue is more Exchange 2010 related, and you mentioned the user also got the error from Outlook Web Access. This issue occurs after Exchange 2010 Service Pack 2 RU6 or Exchange 2010 Service Pack 3 is installed.
To resolve this issue, install the following update rollup:
2803727 Description of Update Rollup 1 for Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 3
I hope the information is helpful.

Curve 9330 Cannot Delete Internet Email

I stupidly upgraded my BB last night and subsequently lost all of the unique Internet e-mail folders I had created. When I attempted to go into Settings > Email Accounts > Internet Mail Account the system begins checking for updates. I then see each of the e-mails that I previously set up. I try to enter the current password and verify/activate but BB never does it successfully. I cannot delete the accounts nor can I set up the account as new. I am stuck. I cannot wait to get rid of my BB but until then I need some assistance on how to get rid of the old instances and recreate. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello lhatchell,
We suggest that you contact your wireless service provider to verify your service plan regarding the issue you are experiencing with accessing your Internet email on your BlackBerry® Curve™ 9330 smartphone.
Thank you.

Thunderbird freezes and goes not responding when deleting certain emails

Ever since I archived a few thousand emails I have been a problem with my Thunderbird freezing and "not responding" for 15-30 seconds after I delete certain people's emails in my inbox. I am running Windows 7 (64 bit) and have Microsoft Security Essentials running.

Try to start *Windows* in safe mode with networking enabled.

Cannot delete certain pictures in Iphoto on my IPad. no trash bin option for these particular photos.

I am having trouble deleting certain pictures on my IPad. They are jpeg pics but by selecting them individually under the photo icon or by using iphoto they will not delete. No trash can icon will highlight to drag them to. I believe there may be dublicate pictures so when I select no trash can appears. I can change to a different date with no dublicate pic and trash can appears. I am doing a backup of my Ipad and maybe I have to go to factory default and start over!!

How did these pictures get on the iPad?
If they were synced to it through iTunes on a computer, then the only way to delete them, is to un-sync them the same way.

I cannot delete any emails

Greetings to all,
Some how I deleted my earthlink trash. I tried to set up a new trash to earthlink again but now when I try to delete an email it will not let me. It comes back and says...
"The destination mailbox "deleted Messages-Earthlink" does not allow messages to be moved to it."
Is there a way to reset my mail program without loosing my emails?
Thank you
Marco

I have several mailboxes for different POP mail accounts and I had one that would not let me delete messages ("move messages to the deleted folder"). What I discovered was the folder for deleted messages for that account no longer had the mbox extension. i.e. /Users/(your user name)/Library/Mail/(your account name)/Deleted Messages.
I added the mbox extension and now it behaves correctly.

I cannot delete my emails en masse.

I have about 35,000 in my inbox, so I selected them all and then tried delete. They vanished but when I returned to mail, they were back. I tried it again, except I moved them to trash. They appeared in the trash, and I emptied it, but they then reappeared in my inbox. I have been waiting some time, assuming that there is an issue regarding the sync between my Mail client on my computer and the server, and it my internet connection does seem very slow, which would suggest something is happening, but iCloud in System Preferences is showing the same amount of usage. Am only deleting these emails because I got the message that my iCloud storage was going to be reduced to 5GB as of September.
Help!

anyone know of this situation?
