Delete a vip mailbox

I deleted an email in a vip mailbox before deselecting the star so the vip mailbox remains in the Mail sidebar. Is there a way to delete this vip mailbox in the Mail application sidebar? I followed the support instructions Lion Mail: Delete mailboxes however, it does not apply because of what I have done as stated in the prior sentenance. Mail > Mailbox > Delete Mailbox does not work because the last command remains shaded. For the porpose of deselecting the star, I tried renaming the vip mailbox then attaching an email with the same heading name but, I could not drang and drop or If I click the star the Mail application would simply create a new vip mailbox with the same name.

When there are no more VIPs in the mailbox, the VIP mailbox will remain until you quit and reopen mail.  And by quit, I mean actually quit it... not click the little red x.  Unless you meant the sub entry?  Then see what's been posted already above.  To right click, hold ctrl and click.

    How do you delete a VIP mailbox from the mail app?

    From Mail help:
    Make a sender a VIP
    To keep track of messages you receive from especially important people, make them VIPs in Mail. You can have up to 100 VIPs.
    To make someone a VIP, move the pointer to the left of the sender’s name in the message header and click the star that appears. You can also move the pointer over the sender’s email address, click the arrow that appears, and choose “Add to VIPs” from the pop-up menu.A mailbox for the VIP is added to the Favorites bar. For example, if you make Dad a VIP sender, his messages are displayed in a VIP mailbox titled Dad.
    To remove VIP status from a sender, click the VIP’s star in a message. The star is removed and the sender’s VIP mailbox is removed from the Favorites bar.
    If a VIP has several email addresses in Contacts, messages from any of those addresses will appear in the VIP’s mailbox.
    If you use iCloud Contacts, your VIPs are available on your other Mac computers that use iCloud Contacts and have OS X Mountain Lion installed.
    So to remove a VIP mailbox, you would have to remove all its people, and then exit mail.

    How do I delete a VIP Mail Box Apple Mail Yosemite

    OK it may have worked.  I needed to revert to the default email view from the Classic. After clicking on the star all the emails left and the VIP box is now empty.  We will see if it starts to fill up.  I have no idea how the computer know who my VIP are as I certainly do not. Unless they are FaceBook good friends.

  • I deleted emails from VIPs and didn't realise they would be deleted from my Mailbox. VIPs does't appear in Mail on Time Machine. Is there any way I can restore the deleted emails?

    I deleted emails from VIPs in Apple Mail and didn't realise they would be deleted from my Mailbox. I have tried to restore from Time Machine but VIPs doesn't appear. Is there any way I can retrieve the deleted emails? I also have bachups on an external hard drive.
    I have OS X 10.9.2

    You can't download pictures from iCloud by logging into icloud.com.  If you deleted pictures from camera roll AND photo stream, the only possibility is preforming a restore from an iCloud backup, assuming the backup has the pictures in it.  (Many users have been unable to restore and get back their pictures.)
    If the restore doesn't have all the pictures, then they are gone.
    In the future, use photo stream to sync photos from an iPhone to a computer, then copy the photos on the computer from the photo stream album into a permanent album.  Photo stream pics stay there only for 30 days, and only up to 1000 photos are stored.  Don't use photo stream as a storage medium, it's only for copying photos from one device to another.  Always copy (either via USB cable or photo stream) to a computer and then move to an album.

  • Is it possible to retrieve deleted emails from VIP mailbox

    I deleted emails from my VIP mailbox and didn't expect them to be removed from my "On My Mac" mailbox. They are not in Trash. Can they be retrieved?
    OSX 10.9.2

    Thanks again Linc Davis.
    I have tried all this, if I understand you correctly. That is,  having restored a Mail window I look at each Mailbox. The problem is that for whatever reason, deleting from VIPs also deleted from my created Mailboxes which appear in Mail under "On my Mac".
    I thought that all deleted emails went to a hidden file which could be found if you knew where to look. This happens with a PC, is it not the same with Apple?
    I would appreciate any further help.

    Please... how can I delete that stupid VIP mailbox that was forced onto my phone with the new software of IO6?

    I had started all this with a question back in September. Thanks for the follow up. I have learned to live with the big VIP that simply takes up space on my phone. Oh well, the darn first world problems we have...
    On another fun note, my movie recommendation of the week is Flight. I liked it, but I only add that so I can add something positive after starting all this with a negative frustrated venting.

  • Ipad mail in ios 6  will not delete correctly from VIP mailbox

    After upgrading my ipad to ios 6, which added the VIP feature. I then added some of my contacts as VIP's, however when I attempt to delete the email after reading, the entire mail app crashes.

    yes
    consistently crashed the app if I try to delete a VIP email after reading it, and DOES NOT delete it. If I go back into VIP and select the message, and delete it, it crashed again, without deleting, ad infinitum
    I have to nav out of the VIP folder and select the message in the regular folder, then it deletes correcly, and does not crash.
    This is very annoying, and hope they fix it soon as my regular routine is to delete the 90% of email that is of no value after reading.

  • MAIL: How do I get rid of *VIP mailbox? I really need this gone. Thanks.

    MAIL: How do I get rid of *VIP mailbox? I really need this gone. Thanks.

    Tried this - I think I'm doing it right - and not working. All incoming and outgoing emails appear in the VIPs and also in another unnamed stared folder in that box. I cannot delet either mailbox. I can delete mail within the boxes by choosing and deleting , often I have to do it 3 or 4 times before they decide to actually go away. Clicking on the star just highlights the message and then I delete, but new message from same recipient still shows up again. When the VIPs box and the folder in it are completely empty they are still there. Am I doing something wrong?

  • How do I set the default sort on a VIP mailbox?

    When I restart the mail reader and go to one of the VIP Mailboxes I have set up, the sort order is "Sort by From" and "Ascending."   Probably the most useless default I can think of.   Is there a way to set the default to "Date" and "Descending"?

    Try using Mail/View/Sort By

  • Restore deleted ( not saved) mailbox

    Is there any way to retrieve email that was NOT saved before deleting an account / mailbox? In order to solve a keychain problem, following instructions over the phone with Apple, I deleted both of my mailboxes, without saving the contents, and then recreated the accounts. Both accounts are now working, but all of my email history is gone, except for the the incoming for the past few days which I can also access directly from the provider's server. Any hope here?

    Basics of File Recovery
    If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
    If you empty the Trash the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When you delete files you erase only the directory entries, not the files themselves. However, the space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten with recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
