Default "Deleted Mailbox" in email profile
Hi,
On my iPhone, I have created a new profile for IMAP email settings via a .mobileconfig download and install. However, the default "Deleted Mailbox" is Trash. On deleting mail, the user gets "Unable to Move Message. The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash". I guess this is because "Trash" does not exist on the IMAP server.
Is their aDefaultDeleteFolder in .mobileconfig I am missing?
Regards
David

If you had mail saved on my mac, you can try going to your home folder>library>mail>mailboxes>select mailbox>messages, you will find find stuff in your envelope indexes. There might be some stuff there. They will all be listed by an###. emlx so you will have to look thru them. Hope this helps a little.

A Trojan virus attached to an email that I never opened, but it was in my window as I scrolled through my emails just like the other emails. I don't recall opening it, but if I did I would NEVER open an attachment, not even from people I know, unless I am expecting something! Anyway, my virus scanner caught it, but it did not do anything about it. I ended up finding the folder named "Profile" that contained the virus. I am sure of this. I deleted it, because I could not disinfect or quarantine it for some reason. It apparently deleted my Thunderbird profile, so I cannot log into my email account when I click on Thunderbird desktop shortcut on my Windows screen. Please assist. I am not sure what to do, but I need to access my emails for bills, etc.
Thank you,
John''but it was in my window as I scrolled through my emails''
What does this mean?
''my virus scanner caught it''
Your 'virus scanner' is not supposed to scan your Thunderbird profile folder in the first place.
''I deleted it''
Not a smart move. With the profile you also deleted all your mail and accounts.
''I deleted it, because I could not disinfect or quarantine it''
There is no need for this. A malicious attachment won't do any harm to your computer as long as you're not trying to open or run it.
''I am not sure what to do''
Do you still have the deleted folder in Trash? You can try to login to your account via webmail, and check if there are still any messages on the server.
For the future, create backups of your profile folder on a regular basis.

I want to delete my Verizon email account but I don't want to lose all of the messages I saved over the years into various mailboxes that I created "On My Mac" in Apple Mail. Will they be erased / deleted when I delete the account?
Yes, it's a POP account. I kinda thought that the old messages would be safe in mailboxes "On My Mac," but since it's an irrevocable choice, I was reluctant to pull the trigger. However, the suggestion above from keg55 relieves my concerns on that score; I'll make a backup copy before I delete the account just to be on the safe side.
Thanks very much to both WZZZ and keg55, I really appreciate it! -
Forgot passcode to email profile, need it to delete email account.
I am trying to delete an email account on my iPhone 4 running iOS 7.1. I have an email profile which is preventing me from deleting the account. The profile asks for a 4 character passcode, which I do not recall. How do I reset this passcode, look it up, or work around it?
Why would you need a POP account?

PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon that is in my dock, that I know nothing about, was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted ALL my OUTLOOK emails in my inbox. Can someone please please tell me if there is a way to get my Outlook inbox emails back OR EVEN the emails that were in my Mail app - because even tho I never use the Mail app, at least the emails would be there.
When I was trying to delete the emails in my inbox for the Mail app - I followed THESE directions. It did in fact clear my inbox for the Mail app. But then I went to log on to my Outlook account and EVERY SINGLE EMAIL was gone. And not in the Deleted box. Just gone. Here are the directions I followed that screwed everything up. Please help.
Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors.
Uncheck "Store deleted messages on the server".
At the drop list for "Permanently erase deleted messages when", choose "Quitting Mail".
Next...
Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > General.
At "When searching all mailboxes, include results from", uncheck "Trash".
Select All = command Ai found out my prob!
here is what you do.
go to the "system preferences" on your dock.
click "software updates".
click "installed software"
if it shows something about a recent update about "EFI UPDATE, FIRMWARE, THUNDERBOLT" or anything like that, exit out of it.
go to mail.
click "mail" at the top.
click "preferences...".
find the account you are having trouble with, once you do, make sure its highlighted, then click the "-" at the bottom of the window (this will only effect that mail account, it will not effect your ical weather or not its synced thought that email account)
hit the "+" (right next to the "-") and add your accout back!
its something with that update that effected mail, i hope this works out for you, if not reply back -

How can I delete all my email from my outlook account without deleting the account?
I am trying to delete the many emails from my outlook account which I can bring up on my ipad mini. I want to keep the outlook email on the ipad. So far all I have been able to do is bring up the email list, touch edit, then touch each email then move to trash. I have a lot of email and would like to delete them all at once. Thanks for any assistance!
The Apple instructions state:
Edit a mailbox.
While viewing a list of messages, tap Edit. Select certain messages or tap Mark All, then:
Tap Mark to Flag, Mark as Read or Move to Junk
Tap Move to move selected messages into a mailbox
Tap Trash to move them to the trash
If you make a mistake, shake iPhone immediately to undo.
Unfortunately, the MOVE and the Trash buttons never activate ... is there a fix for this or is this an oversight? -
Can I delete an email account without deleting the previous emails from it
I have several emails from my own website ([email protected]) set to POP in Mail. Because of an overrun of spam, I disabled one of the accounts in Mail, and then deleted in at my website account. I have 2 others that I wasn't using, so I did the same. I didn't want to delete them in Mail, because I heard that would delete all the emails from it. So I just disabled them. But I see in Connection Doctor that they are still trying to connect to my website to retrieve email. Do I need to completely delete them from Mail? And if I do, if the emails are all moved out of the Inbox into folders I've created (mostly smart mailboxes) are they safe from being deleted? Will it only delete from Inbox, Send, and Trash?
Thank you.Select the messages you want to keep, then select
Message > Archive
from the menu bar. A new mailbox will be created for each account from which you archive messages, and the messages will be kept when you delete the account and its mailboxes. Nevertheless, be sure to back up all data before making any changes. -
I recently changed my email address and updated my password. However, when I connect my iPhone 4 it defaults to my old email address which is no longer valid. How do I get my phone to recognize my updated email address and how do I now change the iPhone 4 to recognize the new address? I wish to delete all reference to the old address. All help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Ive constantly had problems with mail app since upgrading to mountaion lion. 8/10 time i have to force quit mail but thats not the main problem. I have been trying to delete all my mailboxes however the "Delete Mailbox" option is always greyed out therefore I went to system preferences>Mail,Contacts..., then selected the accounts and clicked " - " and deleted the accounts successfully.
Weird thing is that the mailboxes still show in mail app. I have no accounts showing in preferences as i have deleted everything but when i open mail app, everything is still there.
Anyone have an idea, what is going here? Wish it could be like windows, just uninstall and install the app again -_-
Thanks in advance!I found this link for a similar problem someone had with a Lotus Notes account. I used it to resolve my issue with a different email account (basically followed the same steps, and then looked for the particular account I needed to delete)... hope it helps!

TS4002 How do I delete my iCloud email account?
How do I delete my iCloud email account? I do not want it. Apple now is forcing its use where before it was using my Windows Mail. for example, I have iCloud installed on my Windows 8 PC. I am sharing Contacts with my iPads and iPhones. I use to be able to to open Contacts on my PC and click on an email address and the Windows Live Mail program using my primary email account would open to compose and send a message to the Contact's address. Now when I click on an email address iCloud Mail opens. So, I want to delete the iCloud mail account since I will not be using it and hopefully Contacts will again default to my real mail.
Finally, you have answered my question!
I told you that you cannot delete an iCloud email account in my second reply, immediately after you clarified that you were referring to iCloud.com, not the Windows Live Mail application you actually mentioned in your first post. I also provided a link to instructions showing you how to restore the connection between Windows Contacts and Windows Live Mail.
I cannot help but note that it is absolutely absurd to not allow the deletion of an email account in an ISP or Cloud environment.
Tell Apple at: http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html then. Nobody here can do anything about that.
You don't listen we'll, or read carefully for understanding before jumping to conclusions.
You are unable to describe a problem accurately or coherently, or read and comprehend the simple answers you receive.
I seriously wonder if you knew an iCloud email account could not be deleted.
I seriously wonder if you can read - since I told you exactly that in my second reply.
Rest assured that these exchanges will be brought to Apple Support management attention.
This is a user-to-user support forum. You are not conversing with Apple Support staff here, so their management will not care. However, feel free to show them so they can see how quickly I answered your questions after you clarified exactly what you were asking.
I wish I could offer you personal counseling in an effort to help you overcome these limitations that will likely stifle your career.
Don't worry, I wouldn't accept it anyway, as you have no idea what my career is. However, I do have something that would definitely help you... Go here and treat yourself: http://www.readingglasses.com/

Hi,
i current had a problem with my mail.app, where all the mailboxes got deleted from my mail.app. When i went to the preferences>accounts it didn't appear a single account there, and before i used to have 5 diff accounts logged on my mail.app.
I just added the accounts again, and it went perfectly with my 3 gmails account, once that the main sever (gmail) kept all the emails in the inbox, and i was able to get everything back. But i am having a hard time to restore all my email from my 2 hotmails accounts. I seems that my hotmail sever was not keeping my emails in the inbox because once i logged in in the hotmail website, my inbox was clear, and all the emails were in the deleted folder. I had stuff from 3 years in my mail.app that i cant find, i was just able to recover until early october from the main sever.
I do not have a time machine up to date, so getting a back up from it is not an option. I want to believe that when the mailboxes got deleted from the mail.app it didn't delete all my emails. So i would like to know if there is anyway i can recover somehow those emails, maybe after the deletion they moved somewhere in my mac, coz i already looked in the library>mail and is not there, just the current ones are there.
I would appreciate any help.
ThanksIf you had mail saved on my mac, you can try going to your home folder>library>mail>mailboxes>select mailbox>messages, you will find find stuff in your envelope indexes.
