Cannot move multiple emails

Something weird has started to happen.  When I either move a bunch of emails to a separate folder on the sidebar or delete multiple messages, they don't move but stay in the inbox but are greyed out.  I can move/delete them individually, though.    Why can I not move/delete multiple emails?  Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

What type of email account are these emails coming from?  IMAP, POP?  If you open up the Activity Monitor window, does it show Mail as processing your move and just getting hung up, or is there no activity?

  • TS3899 Just updated to 7.0.6. Cannot Select multiple emails to move/delete.

    Just updated to 7.06. Cannot Select multiple emails to move/delete. I select Edit in any mailbox, trash or sent, then select one email to delete/move, after a few seconds, the email automatically 'unselects' the move and delete buttons deactivate, but the top status bar still has '1 selected'.
    If i try to select multiple emails I get to the 3rd or 4th one and then they all auto unselect.
    My Ipad without the update works fine. My daughters iphone 5 has the same issue and she just updated.

    I have no problem selecting multiple emails on iOS 7.0.6
    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • 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.

  • When I try to move an email to trash,  I get a pop up window saying it cannot move the email to trash,  however; it does delete the email.  How can I stop the message pop-up?

    When I try to move an email to trash on my new Iphone 5,  a get a pop up window saying it cannot move the mail to trash.  Any ideas how to get rid of the pop up window??

    I usually get that message when I have low/weak cellular/wifi signal.

  • 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.

  • How do you drag and drop/move multiple emails from the inbox or mail archive folder to a file folder in your finder?

    I would like to archive hundreds of my emails that currently exist in my apple mail email filing system by moving them into file folders in the finder. I can do this easily with a single email but it wont let me do it with multiple emails or a complete folder. Is there any way of do this easily?

    Thanks very much for this. However, I understand how dragging and dropping files normally works. It just seems the it wont work when you do it with emails when you are transfering them into a normal finder system folder. If you highlight one file and drag it to a finder folder it works, but when you drag multiple, it just wont let you do it.
    Is there any work around for this? Thank you once again for  your time.

  • I cannot move any emails out of the inbox

    I uaually move emails out of the inbox to other folders or to the trash bin. Since Tuesday, I could not move any emails anywhere.

    Hi - Yes, it worked fine. I have also been using it in a Gear4 dock - I thought it might have changed my settings, so reset my ipod - no good.    I have checked the JBL support site, but no good.  I have read somewhere that using non apple docks can damage the pins - not sure if that is correct, sounds wrong.

  • Cannot transfer multiple emails to OneNote from Outlook 2010

    Hi,
    I am trying to copy multiple emails to OneNote, but the button is greyed out when more than one is selected. I had got around the problem by disabling a security update (KB2794707), I also had avoided SP2 as I understand that caused the same issue. After
    a whole load of updates I find the problem has returned.
    Is anyone aware of which of the latest updates has reintroduced this issue? Why is this not being resolved by Microsoft? Surely such a restriction will significantly reduce the product uptake...?
    Thanks,
    Paul Martin

    Hi,
    Currently I can confirm KB2794707 may cause this issue, the workaround is to uninstall KB2794707 and wait for the future fix.

  • I cannot delete multiple emails in GMAIL with Firefox 4.

    I have upgraded to FF 4. I'm not able to move or delete emails by selected multiple mails. It allows to select multiple mails but cannot do any action on it.

    (repost) I tried a bunch of google hidden settings, re-install ff4, looked at ff error console, tried for hours looking for an answer on google, and this the only thing that worked for me: create a new firefox profile. I didn't even know that I had one to begin with. I had to re-install add-ons, import favorites, and re-sign to websites with passwords, which took me about 25 min. to get the bulk of it done.

    Now all things google work great (gmail, enter keys on search results, drop-down google header items, etc.), so it was completely worth the time to do it. Although it would have been nicer not to have to do it in the first place, but whatever, technology, sheesh, cry, moan, whine.....just don't leave me.

  • How do I move multiple emails from Inbox to a specific folder?

    I have left a lot of emails in my Inbox that should have been moved to specific folders. How do I move them in bulk to their specific folders other than moving each one individually. I have highlighted the messages concerned by searching and then selecting all. I then click on move to....
    Nothing seems to be happening....I'm sure there's probably a step I'm missing here. What would it be??
    A similar problem occurs when I want to do a mass delete of emails from a specific sender....

    I did all that and nothing happened. As it happens, I did manage to deal with the problem, but in a rather convoluted and tedious manner. I went into Edit, Find, and Search messages, typed in the criteria and the messages I wanted moved came up. However, there was no option to "Select All" so I had to highlight each one and then move the lot to the specific folder....that also worked for the delete problem. That is a workable solution to my problem, but the lack of a "select all" option made it very time consuming. However, I guess it's a notice to me to remember to sort my emails more often.
    Thanks for replying....

  • Cannot move junk email to Bulk Mail folder in Yahoo, greyed out

    I've searched but so far no luck.  Ever since I added my two Yahoo email accounts on my iPhone 4, I cannot seem to send junk email from my inbox to my Bulk Mail folder, it is greyed out.  First off, I've confirmed that the Bulk Mail folder on my iPhone is the same as my Spam folder in Yahoo mail on the desktop.  I can see the same emails in both folders.  Anyone have the same experience and found a way to correct this, or is this just a Yahoo limitation?

    I am having the same problem, but I'm not very clear on how to follow the steps.
    went to my yahoo account in IOS;
    hit edit, hit "new mailbox" at the bottom right corner of the screen;
    entered a name;
    below that, it has "Mailbox Location", I opened it;
    it list all my personal folders, I am stuck here.
    How do I "point the mailbox location to the Bulk Mail folder", as instructed? Am I missing a step?
    This is for iPhone 4S, with the latest released version. Thank you!

  • Why does my iPad 2 iOS 7 not respond when I try to move multiple emails from my pop3 account to the trash?

    I've tried the suggestions on this website. Ive upgraded to iOS 7.0.4
    I've gone to my yahoo email account's inbox, not the all mailboxes inbox. 
    I've download my emails and hit the edit button. Ive selected an individual email, hit the move button and kept my finger on the move button and deselected the email I initially selected.
    A new window is supposed to open so that I can hit the trash button, but the new window does not open. The blue dot next to my originally selected email disappears. The move and trash links at the bottom grey out and the message "select messages to trash or move" stays visible over the preview area. The only link that isn't greyed out is "cancel". I've let the screen sit this way until my ipad goes to sleep, but the new window never opens.   I keep trying it over and over, but it doesn't work. I have 1000's of emails I need to delete because they are taking up too much memory

  • Cannot delete multiple email messages on my Perl - HELP

    I have a feeling that I am behind this issue, but I am stuck to even get a clue where to get started.
    I have a Blackberry Perl 8130 and have used the Shift key to highlight multiple messages so I can delete them en masse.
    Recently, I upgraded my Opera Mini 4.1 to my device and then decided to install the Google Maps application.
    Well, after installing these items, I found that I could no longer use the Shift Key to assist me to select multiple messages for deletion.
    I have uninstalled Opera Mini and will uninstall Google Maps next.   My main concern is that whatever setting was affected will not be changed back.
    Is anyone on the board familiar with this issue?  Is this a setting that I can reset manually?
    Thanks in advance for any and all responses.

    I have had my 8130 for less than 2 months and was also completely at a loss on how to do this. Thanks! Kudos!

  • 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.

  • HT1692 Have recently installed itunes and outlook on a new computer.  Have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, Help!

    My new computer is 64-bit running Windows 7 pro, SP1 and Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus 32-bit
    My phone is a 4S runing iOS 6.1.3
    Very frustrated now that I have recently installed itunes and outlook on this new computer.  Everything worked perfectly ok on my laptop which was also 64-bit Windows 7 and running 32-bit Microsoft Office 2010 Pro.  I have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, when I sync the calendar and contacts are empty.  Not sure if there is any way to point itunes to particular address books and calendars.
    I have installed and uninstalled itunes 3 times and thank goodness have a backup
    Can anyone help please?
    thanks in anticipation

    I had my home computer set up to sync to work's Exchange server. It worked well, but I didn't like seeing work email messages and other programs trying to sync with my default Outlook folder, which was then the Exchange (& work related) .ost file. I know there are various ways to manage those problems using filters, view, subfolders, etc., but it was a hassle for me. I think it could work well for many other folks.
    For now, I have published my work calendar and subscribed to that calendar on my home computer. So I have view only access to my calendar on my home computer (and I can add/edit calendar items on my iPad (or Outlook Web Access) when away from work). This is not quite what I wanted, but it may work.
    It almost makes me long for the days when I used my Windows Mobile Treo to sync back and forth between exchange at work and outlook at home (but had many sync conflicts as a result).
