Deleted mail does not go to trash file and returns to inbox

I'm running OS 10.6.2 and Mail 4.2. When I delete mail on my MacBook PRO, the message goes away, but doesn't go into my trash file. When I refresh mail, the deleted messages come back. I'm using exchange server, and I have no problems deleting mail from my iPhone or web mail. In addition, I have other mail accounts that allow me to delete mail without any other issues. I've rebuilt my mail database (mailbx - rebuild), and even deleted the mail account and reloaded it from exchange. HELP!

In that case, if the account in question is an admin account, you would just tack "sudo" on at the beginning:
sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash
If the affected account is not an admin account, you need to log in to an admin account and do this:
sudo rm -rf /Users/theusername/.Trash
...where "theusername" should be the name of the user folder with the broken trash.

  • Deleted mail does not appear in the trash can

    When I delete mail from my inbox I can't see it on the Trash "On My Mac". I have set the trash settings to delete everything after one week. Does anyone know why this is happening or how I might be able to fix it.
    Thanks

    On the Mac without an account named Trash mailbox for the POP account under Trash in the Mailboxes drawer, is "Move deleted messages to a separate folder" selected under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences?
    If so, the account's Trash mailbox is located in the account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) at Home > Library > Mail > this POP account named folder > Deleted Messages.mbox folder.
    Not at Home > Library > Mail > Mailboxes.
    The Deleted Messages.mbox folder within the Mailboxes folder represents the "On My Mac" named Trash mailbox under Trash in the mailboxes drawer.

  • Time Machine does not create req'd file and fails. Restart provides a fix until the problem recurs.

    Previous replies are omitted to reduce excess data.
    Latest reply from Pondini is as follows:
    You're still having a problem with Apple's old Backup app (with the umbrella icon).
    It should be sending a message when that happens; (it does)if not, make sure you have the current version (3.2).  If not, it should be available in the Softwarefolder on your iDisk, or here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1025.
    If you do, start Backup, double-click the Plan in question, select the Historytab, then double-click the date/time of the backup in question to see the log.  The error message should be towards the end.
    Following the above instructions from Pondini produces this entry in the Backup App log:
    Connected to MobileMe
    Beginning a new Full Backup...
    Begin backup at 2011-12-08 08:14:49.369 -0500
    Scanning files...
    Acquired a destination for the backup.
    Copied part 1 of file /Users/wpiez/Pictures/iPhoto Libraryb.zip
    Unable to upload to /Backup/iPhoto Libraryb - 2011.12.08-08.14.49.369 - Part 1.FullBackup on iDisk
    End backup at 2011-12-08 09:54:02.905 -0500
    I am guessing Backup did not backup the file iPhoto Libraryb.zip because the same file was already on iDisk. This somehow leaves a deadend trap in Time Machine.
    Have checked and found my Backup App is version 3.2. Have changed my Backup instructions to work only manually. Am hoping not running it will avoid creating problems in Time Machine. Latter working OK after restarting.
    As an aside I think I will miss iDisk when Apple stops it. If my house burns down taking my computers, my hard drive, my separate hard drive dedicated to backups and my disk backups, it would be nice to have replacements offsite. Maybe will decide to engage a non-Apple service for that.
    Thanks to Linc D and Pondini and other anonymous rreaders and thinkers.

    Hi, again,
    Are you signed-on to Mobile Me, via System Preferences > MobileMe > Account?  If not, do so.  If you are, sign out for a few moments, then back on.  Then try again.

    Not necessary.  The two are unrelated (except for Backup delaying a scheduled backup if a Time Machine backup is running).  I run both myself, with no problems, and my Backups are scheduled.

    I agree.    Apple doesn't seem to have anything else at the moment.  Many folks are switching to DropBox.

  • Firefox does not recognize hyperlinks denoting files and pages in regarding the html written to direct to the file in the same web directory. Ie: a href=myarticle.pdf

    The hyperlinks are recognized by other browsers, except Firefox. A simple fix would be for any webmaster to make sure the full hyperlink is written, but that would be inclusion just for Firefox users. Simply put, Firefox should still be able to work like a DOS batch file linking files on the same directory viewed in this manner, but fails to.

    That is an MS Office document and everything on that page is a image as you can see in Tools > Page Info > Media and Firefox/Tools > Web Developer > Page Source
    If you used MS software then make sure that you disable VML if you save that page because only IE can display pages with VML

  • How do you delete a picture that does not have the trash can icon to do so.

    I Am trying to delete a picture and it does not have the trash can icon. 

    You have to sync it off of the device using iTunes. That is likely how it got there in the first place.

    Using Firefox 3.6.20 and Windows XP Home SP3. Firefox sporatically deletes bookmarks from the bookmarks toolbar. Additionally, when I try to import from a saved HTML file, Firefox does not import the complete file. Results are inconsistent.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

    Which version of Adobe Reader you are using?
    Is it showing any error message?
    A screenshot of the error would be more helpful.
