Deleted Emails are just "grey" on Server

Hello everybody,
when I delete an Email in TB-Inbox it disappears in TB but not in my Online-Inbox of my Emailprovider. It is just grey there (not unread, not read, something different).
Is there a way to tell TB to remove the deleted Emails "completely"? At the moment I have to delete Emails twice. Sometimes I have to manage my emails in the browser so I prever not to have these grey "grey email-ghosts" there.
My Settings:
1) IMAP
2) Account Settings / Server Settings / When I delete a message / Move it to this folder / Trash
3) Account Settings / Synchronization & Storage / To recover disk space ... /
- Don't delete any Messages CHECKED
- Delete all but the most recent ... messages UNchecked
- Delete messages more than ... days old UNchecked
- Always keep starred messaged CHECKED
Once I told TB to delete Emails older than 30 days TB deleted everything older than 30 days in EVERY folder (although "Always keep starred messaged" was still CHECKED). So I'm a little bit afraid to make experiments in these options.
Thank you in advance!

This would appear to be how your email providers webpage displays emails that are 'marked as deleted'. When you expunge /compact folders in Thunderbird it should disappear from webmail.
Please read info at this link, it will help to explain things.

I restared my Iphone 4s and now my photos are just grey with JPG in it. How do i get my photos back?

I restared my Iphone 4s and now my photo's are gone. They are just grey with JPG in it.
How do i get my photo's back? And why are they grey?
Any help would be nice.
Thank you.

Restarting your phone doesn't cause it to grey out.
Were you restoring from an icloud backup? IF so, it does take awhile for pictures to download.

Deleted emails are duplicating in trash

deleted emails are duplicating in trash

I am using an Exchange email account. I recently cleaned out my inbox from work. I am showing zero unread emails from my Exchange account from my desktop at work. However, my iPhone 4 (after 2 days and 3 attempts to sync) is still showing 143 unread emails and I cannot access these alleged emails from my phone. It simply shows "143" on my mail icon from the home screen. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Delete emails from iPhone but NOT server ?

Hi all,
I have just upgraded to a iPhone 5C from a 4S.
On my 4s, when i deleted my emails from the Mail app, it kept them unread on my computer/ipad.
With my 5c, it deletes them from the server when deleting on the phone.
How do I have it so when I delete emails from my 5C, it keeps them UNREAD in my inbox on the computer?
Looks everywhere, I have all HOTMAIL accounts
Thanks

You will need to set up the Hotmail account as a POP3 account instead of an IMAP account.

Upgraded to ios 5, my deleted emails are all back

I updated to 5.0.1 and now all the deleted emails I had are back. I delete them and there are 50 more. UGH!!!

Go to: Settings>Mai.....>the account(s) in question>Advanced>and change the Deleted from server setting to what you want (never?)

When I delete emails , they just get deleted and do not get moved to trash

When I delete an email , it just gets deleted and does not get moved to trash. Its pretty frustrating as I regularly hit the delete by mistake and I lose the email because it just does not get moved to trash .I have checked the preference to find some setting that might cause this ( like delete trash immediately) in mail preferences to no avail. I also have ran file system check and cleaned and repaired the Mac-HD in hope of solving the problem to no avail. This has been happening only for a few days. The funny thing is , I also noticed that a folder I was trying to copy from My main HD to a secondary one ( not in mail but just on the computer), suddenly disappeared and I could not locate it . Am I going crazy? Someone please help.

Hi hadjibaba. You’re welcome.
Report the names of the files and folders present at the first level of the ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/ account folder in the Finder.
In order to post the exact file names and avoid typing mistakes, proceed as follows. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/. With that folder open, if you’re looking at it in View > as List mode, first collapse any expanded folders so that the Finder only shows the files and folders at the first level. Now, do Edit > Select All (⌘A), then Edit > Copy (⌘C), and paste it in your reply to this post.
BTW, if you’re running Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther), as your profile indicates, it would have been more appropriate to discuss this in the Mail & Address Book - Mac OS X 10.3 & earlier forum. If the discussion applies to both Mail 1.x and Mail 2.x, it doesn’t really matter, but it’s difficult to know that in advance.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

Delete key deletes email I just read AND the next one. Why and what can I do to make it just delete active one again?

When I read an email and then hit "delete" key, I lose next email also. It's deleting 2 at a time instead of just the active one.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

I have deleted email on my Mac and synced my phone but those deleted emails are still in my phone inbox.

How can I deleted these emails without having to go back more than a year and delete manually?

If deleting mail on your computer is not deleting the mail on the iPhone, then more than likely you are talking about a POP account. If that is the case, you will not be able to remove them other than to delete them individually, or delete the account on the phone, then add it back again. Deleting the account will delete the mail, then you can add it back. A POP account stores the mail locally on the device. And with a POP account, syncing the phone to the computer has nothing to do with the mail, except for the account settings. It does not deal with the mailbox contents.

IPhone won't delete email off of Microsoft Exchange Server???

I setup my iphone to retrieve email off my exchange account and everything works great except when I delete an email. When I delete the email off the iPhone it's not deleting it from the server and the email is still showing on the server.
I'm hoping someone else expericenced this problem and was able to correct it. I would like to fully utilize my exchange account and would greatly appreciate any help?
Many Thanks!!!
iPhone Windows XP

I think I am experiencing the same issue with my Exchange service from Intermedia. Deleting on the iPhone appears to work, but when I check in Outlook or OWA I see that the iPhone has only made a copy of the message in the Deleted Items folder; the original message is still in the inbox. I'm sure this works correctly in Apple's Mail app so I hope they fix it soon.

How do I prevent my emails from being sent without my hitting the send key. Many of my emails are just "taking off" and sending while I am in the middle of typing. If this is a keyboard shortcut, I must disable it, so how do I do that

How can I stop emails from being sent without my hitting the "send" key.

Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

TS3899 When I delete email the next time I open mail the deleted emails are back so I delete again. They come back sometimes at least 5-6 times. I have deleted the account and added it back and changed settings several times. What is wrong??

My emails keep coming back after being deleted up to 5-6 times. Why do they keep coming back every time I open my mail? I have deleted my email account and added back and also changed settings. It still does it.

Log into your webmail on a browser and delete them from there.

Some sub menus icons are just grey boxes all of a sudden

Recently some of the sub menu icons in Netflix, MLB, and others have been showing up as grey boxes only. When highlighted, the name under the icon is there, but no picture. If I access the item, on the next screen it works perfectly and the picture or jacket photo is there. They have disappeared. Everything else works perfectly. I have an Apple TV, Gen 2.

Thanks for the advise. In the end, I unplugged the Apple TV, waited 5 minutes and then plugged it back in. That seems to have done the trick as the icon pictures are back.
