Deleted mail messages not reflected in online account

I download my email from yahoo into mail. I want to keep the messages on the server, so I don't remove them from the server. However, when I delete the messages in mail, I would like to have them deleted in my yahoo account. Currently, they are not deleted. How can I accomplish this?

Solved...
My ISP is Sympatico in Toronto. Unfortunately, Sympatico uses Microsoft's Hotmail servers to manage customers' email. Apparently, according to Sympatico, Microsoft will not allow you to use a mail client (other than their own?) to delete messages off its servers. I have to go into my mail account via browser to do so. That way, I guess, I can see all the MS propaganda.
Boy, you buy a Mac to get away from that Billy Boy tyrant...

Swipe left is deleting mail messages even when swipe is disabled

Swipe left is deleting mail messages even when swipe is disabled. I had it set to "Flag", but it was still deleting them so I tried disabling it.
It does this only with my Exchange account, not other mail accounts. Running iOS 8.1, but it did it with 8.0, 8.02 as well.
Anyone else experiencing this? any fixes?

Thanks, that got me on the right track. Searched a little more and changed the end to:
tell application "Mail"
(* do stuff *)
          set theSelection to selection
          set theMessage to item 1 of theSelection
          set theAccount to account of mailbox of theMessage
     set mailbox of theMessage to mailbox "Trash" of theAccount
end tell
And that seems to work.

I can no longer receive e-mail messages through my @mac/@me account. I can still send e-mail messages, though. I believe there may have been recent attempts to hack into my account. I have changed my password, but wonder how to start receiving mail again?

I can no longer receive e-mail messages through my @mac/@me account, though I still seem to be able to send messages. I believe there may have been recent attempts to hack into my Mail account (my LinkedIn and Facebook accounts were both hacked three days ago and a scam/phishing message sent to my contacts, and I know there was at least an attempt made to hack into one of my e-mail accounts). I have already changed my Apple password, but how do I start receiving mail again?
(And I should also say that I'm a little surprised there was no alert from Apple of suspicious activity on my account, if such was the case. Instead, when I logged into my account via Mobile Me three days ago I noticed that all messages in my inbox were gone as well as all of my contacts. I assume this was related to the current problem.)
Thanks for all responses.

The problem has been solved with the help of a MobileMe online counsellor. My MobileMe account had in fact been hacked into and the fraudster had been redirecting my e-mail messages to a phony account that he controlled. We took the forward off and reset all my passwords and security questions, which solved the immediate problem.
Thx.

Is07 backgound too bright in mail, messages, notes, calendar

Hello! I just upgraded to is07 and the bright white background in the iphone apps like mail, messages, notes, and calendar is hard on my eyes. How can we change this to a darker background? Thank you!

Matthew,
I don't correspond with anyone using Lotus. Are you using a POP account, or IMAP account with this server?
I am not very expectant of this helping, but open one of these messages, and then click on Message in the Menubar, and in its pull-down place the cursor on Text Encodings, and try some choices, other than Automatic. Test first with Unicode at the bottom of the list, and then with Western (Mac Mail). Let us know if this alters anything.
Next, after opening such a message, click on View, place the cursor on Message, and choose Raw Source -- is the text of the message now readable?

Deleted Sales Orders not Reflecting in BI

Dear Experts,
When ever my customer deletes a SO(Sales Order) in R/3, the reverse posting or deleted SO is not reflecting in BI. The Data source used is 2LIS_11_VAHDR. We are deleting the relavent SO in BW manually. But our customer wants to automate it.
Can any one suggest any setting in R/3 or BI for the changes to reflect?
Plz help.

Hi Raj,
check your data source support for reverse posting.
go to rsa6 select your data sourceselect changecheck weather the sales order field is selected for inversion. if it not do it.
and also check this condition
If the option Field recognized only in Customer Exit is chosen for the field, this field is not inverted. You cannot activate or deactivate inversion if this option is set.
hope this will give u some idea

I can't edit or delete mail messages on my iphone 5

I can't edit or delete mail messages on my iphone. The edit icon at the top of the inbox is there and when pressed I can select messages but can't go further - the icon to delete has disappeared and the message that was selected deselects itself.
I already tried to restore my iPhone, this didn't help.

I have iPhone 4S and have had the same problem since I upgraded to iOS 7. I could only send and receive from iPhones.
I tried everything that was suggested. Nothing worked.
I called AT&T this morning. Turns out, iOS 7 cancelled my text messaging plan!!!! I was able text to other iPhone users because of iMessage. They turned my texting plan back on and I can now text everyone again!!

Mail app not connecting to gmail account

Hi
So I have 2 gmail accounts where our company domain uses gmail for its email service. Mail was working fine on both the accounts till last week.
I had configured both the gmail accounts very easily by just selecting Google on the Mail App on my Macbook Air 7 months back. I just added my email id and my password and the Mail App automatically configured both my accounts.
Last week one of the gmail accounts stopped updating on the Mail app on the Macbook. I was recieving mails on my iPad and iPhone so I knew there was something wrong. The second gmail account was working just fine. I tried various things but that account refused to work. So I deleted that account and tried adding that account back. I could not add that gmail account this time round and kept giving me an invalid username password error or some account not valid error. I go to the online version of Gmail and login with exactly the same information.
Then to probe more I delete the working gmail account and try to add it again. That account also does not seem to be adding now. Same error as the first account. So now I cannot access both my gmail accounts on the mail client.
I just realized that I updated to OSX Mavericks 10.9.2 on 28th Feb and am pretty sure that all this has happened immediately after that.
Anybody else with similar issues? Any ideas on what I should be doing?
Cheers
Ankur

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.

Opened mail messages not visible on screen

all of a sudden, when I open a mail message from my inbox, or any other mailbox, the message opens up on the top left side of my screen, but is only partially visible. I am unable to drag the message back into the center of the screen. Although I can click on and drag the bottom, right hand corner, that only increases the size of the message window, but does not unhide the rest of the message and the message header from the top, right hand side.
additionally, when I click on mail preferences, or about mail, the related info is no longer visible on the screen.
The mail inbox however, is fully visible.
thanks for any help with this.

quit Mail and start it again. is it still doing this? if so your Mail preferences are likely corrupt. quit Mail and delete (or move to the desktop) the file ~/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist. ~ means your home directory. you can get to it by clicking on the house icon in the sidebar of any finder window or by going to /users/username.
then start Mail. you'll have to recreate all your email accounts so make sure you know all their settings. once recreated they will recognize their existing mailboxes. see if Mail behaves after that.
Alternatively, if you have a backup, restore com.apple.mail.plist from backup from before the problems with Mail started. Mail should not be running when you do this.

Deleted Mail Messages reappearing in InBox

iCloud Mail is acting like a POP account.
If I delete a message on my Mac, it doesn't get deleted from the iPhone's InBox.
Plus, deleted messages eventually reappear on the Mac as if I never deleted them.
Even before iCloud, using MobileMe, deleting a message from either my Mac or my iPhone would not delete the message from the other device.
Message was edited by: Michael Superczynski
double negative.

Hello Joe.
What type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)?
Certain messages keep re-appearing in my inBox, even when I delete them.
You may be able to get rid of those messages in Mail doing Edit > Cut (⌘X) (for best results do it with one message or just a few at a time), but you should remove them from the server first if they’re still there.
Mail is only receiving some of the email messages sent to me.
Do you have any custom rules? It looks like Mail is downloading all the messages, but your rules are processing them in an unexpected way...
Open the Account Info window by choosing Get Info (⌘I) from the Action menu (gear icon) located below the mailbox list in the main Mail window. Does Mail display there the messages that it doesn’t download? Do they appear as already downloaded or as not downloaded yet (dot column)?

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.

Delete mail messages

hi, i've got an iPhone 4s, and i can find out where to set the automatic deletion for the deleted messages in my mail account. I'm not using iCloud for the mail, since i've heard it has some problem with the security of the account, but it sounds strange there is no way to make the iPhone automatic delete the messages after a week.

Hope that is what you are looking for.

Cannot delete Mail message

I have 2 e-mails in my InBox that Mail will not let me delete. When I highlight the message and click delete, the text goes grey, but stays. If I close Mail and re-open, the message is still there and in Black. It is my current e-mail account and not an old deleted account. The preview window shows nothing for either message. Is there a way to "refresh" the contents file? I think mine has become corrupt.
Sorry if this is a duplicate post, but Apple has removed the Search function on the discussions ... any idea why and when it will come back?

I got it! I have 3 accounts and I was selecting the "Inbox" and Rebuild was greyed out. I clicked the down arrow and selected the one that was corrupt and was able to rebuild ... Thanx!

I have an imac an with osx snow leopard and I can no delete mail messages, the colored disk just keep rotating around ?

How can I delete old messages in my mail app. I set it up a yr ago but I don't use it. I go directly to my mail account to retrieve my mail.

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
