Deleted a message from Mail does not move it to the trash folder

I am a brand new mac user, so it's possible I just don't know what I am doing yet.
I have added my IMAP email account to Mail with the following mailbox behavior:
When I delete a message from my Inbox, in Mail it appears to move to the Trash folder.  However, if I log into the webmail interface I can see it actually still exists in the Inbox, but has been marked as deleted (there is a line through it).  It is not actually moving the message on the server into a trash folder, like iPad does.  If I pull up the Trash folder on my iPad, it does automagically reflect the item I deleted.  However, on my phone (not an iPhone), the messages are missing from the Trash folder.
How do I configure Mail on my Mac to behave like Mail on the iPad?  When I delete a message, I want it to move the message into the Trash folder on the server.
Thank you very much,
Jesse

I figured it out.  Mail created a new folder called, "Deleted Messages."  I was looking in "Deleted Items," which was an old folder.

    imap mail sent from my iphone or ipad does not show up in the sent folder on my desktop

    Hi Bob,
    I'm using Mac Mail 4.5
    I have set up my mail preferences to include a "From"
    Web mail includes the appropriate "from" header information.
    Interestingly, when I send emails from this account on other machines it's ok.
    (ipad2,iPhone 3s,powermac)
    It just seems to be the MacBook Pro that is presenting this error.
    As an aside, my ISP host recently upgraded from Pop to Imap.

  • I can not move files to the trash.

    I can not move files to the trash. When I drag the file to the trash it does not move, but it does appear in the trash and when I empty it, the file is erased. When I go back to my files, the file I just deleted is still there. I keep getting the "startup disk is full" message so I need to delete files, but I can't. Anyone know a solution to this?

    try getting a external drive such as a usb flash drive or a hard drive to transfer the files from the startup disk, and free up space.
    hope this helps!

  • Can not move ringtones to the ringtone folder!

    Sounds amazing, but after downloading a couple of ringtones from the store that show up in my purchased list, I can not move them to the ringtone folder to sync them to my iphone. If they are not in the ringtone folder, they will not go over to my phone. Dragging just doesn't work. What's with this?!?!?

    I had the same problem and have come to the conclusion after 3 hours of trying to compose a ringtone that you have to purchase the song for $.99 and then pay another $.99 for the ringtone you make from the song. There doesn't seem to be an option to make the ringtone from the song in Itune store until you purchase it and put it in your folder. THEN the option is available to edit it to a ringtone. THEN you have to buy the ringtone you just make for another $.99. Seems very strange to me. I don't think I will be using this option anymore.

  • HT1751 I copied my iTunes folder to an external HD and now I cannot delete it. When I try to move it to the trash it displays The item "iTunes" can't be moved to the Trash because it can't be deleted.

    I copied my iTunes folder to an external HD and now I cannot delete it. When I try to move it to the trash it displays: The item “iTunes” can’t be moved to the Trash because it can’t be deleted.

    Close iTunes. Click the icon to start it, then press and hold down the left shift key. Keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. Choose the iTunes folder on your external drive. That should bring back all your playlists, ratings, play counts etc. You may have to settle for removing and reloading the media onto the device again. That's not too bad, but what you don't want to have happen is your apps being removed and reloaded as then you can lose settings and data. If that looks likely backup and then restore the device rather than sync it.
    If for some reason rebuilding the library the way you did has moved files around then the restored library may have trouble finding things. If so post back and I'll explain what to do...

  • Does time machine work with the trash folder?

    Does time machine work with the trash folder? So if I have the entire aperture library backed up to the time machine. Is it safe to empty the trash folder in aperture? I am able to recover files from time machine later?

    So make a top-level Project called "_Circular File".  Put Images in there that you what to have out of your way but not discarded.
    It really is good and proper to treat the Trash as trash.  I instruct everyone to _empty_ the Aperture Trash at the end of _every_ session.  The reason is this: it is the only time you will remember whether it is safe to delete the items in there.  If you wait, you will then waste time trying to answer "Did I really mean to throw that out?" or, periodically, you'll give up trying to remember, and will empty the Trash without reviewing it.  At the end of every session, examine the Trash, confirm that the items there are trash, and empty it.
    Shocking, perhaps, but you should also empty your system trash every day.  The real-life equivalents are good guides here.  No-one in an office hoards their trash.  If you mean to throw something out, throw it out.  If you don't mean to throw it out, do not put it in the trash.
    I don't know how TM handles the Aperture Trash.  I do know, however, that I would not expect this behavior to remain consistent, and would absolutely recommend against a workflow based on it.

  • Can't Delete A Message: Destination mailbox does not exist

    Got a spam email today and Mail won't let me delete it. Clicking Delete grays the message, but it won't move to the Trash. If I try and drag it manually, I get the error message "destination mailbox does not exist."
    And it's right: the To: address is a fake one and NOT one of my accounts.
    Anyone know how in the world I can get rid of this message?

    Hi Ernie,
    Thanks for your help. In the end, my solution was to delete the GMail account completely from Mail.app, recreate it and let it synchronise my mail back from Google (I have Mail.app set to leave messages on the server, for GMail). I now of course have all the 'correct' emails back in Mail.app, without the ones I could not delete.
    I can tell you, though, that there were indeed no other files in the old INBOX.mbox folder other than the ones you mentioned. What other files might there have been?

  • TS3899 How do I select and delete multiple messages from mail?

    How can I select mutiple messages in my inbox and send them all to the trash without selecting each message and trashing it? Using the "Mark All" command does not give me that option--only the "Flag" and "Mark as Read" options.

    I know there is no delete all option within Mail app but this workaround does the trick
    1. Go to your inbox
    2. Press Edit
    3. Tap any message once to select it
    4. Press AND HOLD the Move button
    5. While still holding the Move button, tap the message you selected
    6. Release the Move button
    7. This will bring up a dialog box asking you which folder you’d like to move all your messages to – just select the Trash folder and you’re all done

  • All new mail is automatically being sent to the trash folder

    This started 36 hours ago out of the blue.  I did not change any settings although about a week ago I downloaded Mailbox (beta) to try.  All my emails had been pushing correctly to mailbox up until this time with no problems.  I deleted Mailbox off of my phone and Mac, and I have checked the settings in iCloud.  I can watch as the new email comes into the "new mail" mailbox then as soon as it's there it disappears.  I switch to the trash folder and there is my unread email with the blue dot all ready to be read.  This is extremely frustrating - any ideas?

  • Mail does not move Junk mail to the Junk mailbox.

    I use  OS X 10.9.3, Mail Version 7.3 (1878.2) and have created the rule that if Message is Junk, Move it to the Junk mailbox, but it does not work. Junk messages remain in the Inbox, even after I select messages and Apply rules. I have tried marking and unmarking as Junk, and then they disappear, but this is obviously not a sustainable longterm solution. Any other suggestions?

    Hi Jeff, are you saying the Inbox with Junk is inside the Junk Folder, or is this a different account?
    First Quit Mail, look in the finder for those IMAP folders inside your...
    Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/IMAPaccount folder, move them where they should be in the Finder.
    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup),  it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.
    If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

  • I just deleted sent messages from mail, emptied the trash and now my iCloud storage is almost full. Is the mail client holding onto cached messages?

    I was trying to open up some icloud storage by deleting a large chunk of emails and attachments from my sent folder. Those migrated tot he trash and I emptied the trash. Now I have a message telling my my iCloud storage is almost full. Is the mail holding on to cached emails and attachments or something? They don't show up in sent or trash. However if I do a search for the year 2012 (the year of emails I deleted) in the sent I can pull up this olds emails.
