Cannot delete email - iPhone freezing up

Periodically I can't delete email from my iPhone. The email app locks up for a minute or so after attempting to delete some of the emails and then just goes back to the main screen. When I go back into my email the deleted emails have reappeared.

Have you tried basics from the manual?
Restart.
Reset.
Restore.

cannot delete emails on iPhone 4s

Not clear what you are asking, There is no "batch" delete option for the Inbox - all emails have to be deleted individually. Only the Trash folder has a "Delete All" button shown after touching "Edit"
To delete individual emails, swipe finger across the preview and "Delete" will show, or select "Edit" on top right and select each one you want to delete.

I cannot delete emails I have a iphone 3GS running IOS 6.0.1

I cannot delete emails, I have an iphone 3GS runningIOS 6.0.1. I tap edit and the red circle appears, but no delete rectangle or dustbin appears

AT&T does not issue unlock codes for iPhones. I had to think a minute, because I never had a 3GS myself, and thought it might have been different for them, but my daughter had one, and the unlock process is the same as for the 4. After AT&T approves the unlock (which means the contract has been fulfilled), they notify Apple. AT&T then sends the phone's owner an email detailing the process to unlock the phone, which consists of backing up the data, then restoring the phone as new in iTunes (which is where the unlock comes in), then restoring the data backup and then syncing. I went through this to unlock my AT&T iPhone 4. SO, I'm not sure what the unlock code business is about, except that it doesn't sound legit.

Cannot delete emails: no circle to check for delete

More often than not I cannot delete emails from my iPhone. When I choose edit no circle appears to allow me to delete emails.
Any advice is appreicated.

You can also delete the messages by swiping your finger to the right and the delete button should appear. However, if the way to delete is not appearing when you touch the edit button, you need to try some troubleshooting steps.
First, power the iPhone off/on. See if that fixes it.
If not, then reset the iPhone. Do this by holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo, then release. After the iPhone restarts, try again.
If not, then a restore is next. Restore from a backup in iTunes. If no better, then restore as a new iPhone.
The reset has no affect on your data. A restore from backup does not affect data, however restoring as a new phone will delete everything off the phone. You will have to resync all of your data back to the phone.

Since last update I do not have a "delete" button showing on a toolbar. Therefore, I cannot delete emails without opening them. Please help.

Ask Apple to re-enable it. I had an unauthorized purchase last October. They disabled my account until the problem was solved. However, I asked them to reopen it, and they just asked me to provide some security information (billing address, a recent purchase you made, etc.), and then they re-enabled it.

Cannot delete emails in Thunderbird

I cannot delete emails from thunderbird. The client gives me an error "The current operation on 'inbox' did not succeed. The mailserver for [MYACCOUNT] responded: [TRYCREATE] The requested item could not be found." What does this mean? This is using IMAP FYI.
Thanks in advance for any help,
-Steve

I found how to fix it here:

Unfortunately, I cannot delete the other "Trash" folder now. How do I delete it?

Iphone 5S email doesn't mirror netzero email account - cannot delete emails

When I delete emails on iphone 5s, message aren't really deleted on netzero email account. Also, after deleting messages on pc, same email still shows up on phone.

The best I can tell, Netzero's mail service is limited to POP, which presents some issues when using on multiple devices unless you stick to the web interface. With POP, the messages are downloaded to the device, either leaving them on the srrver (menaing you will still get them on other devices) or removing them from the server (you will ONLY get them on the devoce you first download them to). You might want to contct NetZero to see if there are any options. However, I strongly recommend finding an IMAP based mail provider for a multidevice scenario. Gmail, Apple's iCloud mail are two examples, but there are more. Not clear if NetZero offers IMAP or not.

Hello, Joe.
I would recommend closing any open applications in multitasking and restarting the device. If unfamiliar with multitasking, I have included an article that walks you through the process of an application close. Test the results after processing these steps.

Cannot Delete Email Messages after Update

After installing the newest OS update I cannot delete my email messages using the delete keyboard button or using the onscreen options. The delete screen does open up but the delete option is greyed out. I am able to delete messages by using select more and then delete.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have the same problem affecting 3 different email accounts on my q10, one of which is a corporate account requiring IT support to reinstall. This solution is not practical for me. Any better ideas? I knew I shouldn't have done the upgrade. Another reason to regret not switching to an iPhone!

Cannot delete emails

Hi,
I sent some emails with large attachments (up to 10MB) copied to me and one of them appears in the inbox in a pale orange colour. I cannot delete these large messages nor any other messgaes. Every time I delete a message, it reappears back.
I cannot receive email messages into my mail account on my computer, but I can see new emails on my iphone. I have 6 email messages that I can read on my iphone that I haven't rec'd on my computer.
I am using gmail as my email server. I also tried going into my gmail webmail and deleting the large emails but they keep appearing back.
In addition, my Mail keeps crashing.
Thanks,
Aarti

Cannot delete emails and will not let me trash them

I have approximately now, 6 emails on my phone that have been deleted from my address in my computer but will not delete off my iphone 4 and it will not let me trash them either I get the error *unable to move message* The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash can someone help me get rid of them?

I've had that in the past. For some reason, moved or delete emails on one device don't seem to register on other devices on the same account for some time. I had a service that took a day or more before a deleted email on A finally was deleted on B. In the meantime, trying to delete or move when on B resulted in the same message. Wait for it to straighten out on its own.

Cannot delete email

After having my phone replace everything was restored and fine except for being able to delete emails. I am getting a message saying items cannot be transferred to the trash. Any ideas?

OK, maybe 'extreme' was a poor choice of words, but it is a bit of a hassle in our environment since we are using smart cards for log ons to our Exchange server. This means the administrator (me!) has to assist the user in re-creating the account with information from the card that is normally scanned in. I just hope this doesn't become an ongoing problem. Is anyone at Apple looking into the cause of this glitch?

Cannot delete emails in Mail

Hey everyone, since I upgraded to Mavericks I just cannot delete the emails I need. Some advices say to delete the account and create the same again, but it does not work in my case. Could you help me please? Thank you very much

This does not answer/solve the OP's question/problem as they would still have to select each email individually before selecting the "delete all" button. In the end this the same as selecting "delete" on each message individiually.
There is no practical way to do what the OP wants.
