Deleted single email stays in Inbox

The email title shows a change of color but cannot be exorcised from the Inbox. How can I delete this permanently?

Try rebuilding the mailbox -
click on the inbox in the list on the left
In the Mailbox menu - choose Rebuild
The other possibility is that you are using IMAP email which will change the color of a deleted message to show that the next time Mail syncs with the server that message will be deleted.

On my ipad mini, when I delete an email from the inbox (and it goes into Trash), it immediately deletes that email from the server (ATT/Yahoo). I've called support for both ATT and Apple and can't find a way to have the emails remain on the server.

My husband and I share an email address and if he misses a day checking email on his notebook, he doesn't receive the items that I have sent to Trash on my iPad Mini.
Appreciate suggestions.
[The curious thing is, if I "move" the deleted emails from Trash on my iPad Mini into the Inbox, I can go to my notebook, open my online email and they are back in my ATT/Yahoo Inbox.]

Is your Yahoo account set up as POP3 or IMAP?

Deleted email stays in Inbox

Deleted emails stay in Inbox & copy to Trash folder (IMAP)

I have a Fastmail IMAP account, and when I delete an email on my iPod Touch 4G, the email disappears from the iPod's Inbox, and appears in the server's Trash folder.
When I log into the server via a web browser, I see that email is still in the Inbox! And.. it's also in the Trash!
How can I fix this?

Is this on Comcast email? Another email site?
Usually this is set in the options for the site, and not in Firefox itself.
If you are retrieving mail into the Thunderbird email program, there actually is a different support forum for Thunderbird here: https://support.mozillamessaging.com/home

Is there a way to delete all email messages from inbox without checking each one at a time on my iphone 4?

Whenever I want to delete messages in the inbox on my iphone 4, using v4.2.8, I have to manually check each one and then delete them the checked ones as a group. Is there a way to select all and delete them at one time? I love the phone and it is a little complaint, but I often get 50-60 work related messages which I scan then delete because the originals are on my work computer. Thanks.

Also, the iPhone is not a standalone device and obviously doesn't have a full blown mail client... it's an adjunct to your computer. If you want to delete a lot of emails, do it on your computer. You could also log into your webmail using a browser on your iPhone and do it from there.
You have a point, but you're just helping exposing the misery a little more: I actually DO delete the emails in WebMail, very easily. The problem is the sorry state of the Apple email client, that does not replicate those actions on the device, so I have to delete the messages TWICE--once on my computer, with a couple of clicks, and then on my iPhone, with a couple (hundreds) finger gestures.
As to your point that the iPhone is not a standalone device: that's nonsense. The iPhone does a lot of things that users thought IMPOSSIBLE just 10 years ago. Are you saying that the addition of a simple feature like a "Delete All Messages" button is too much for a mobile device? Then what to say about Siri, a complex-beyond-our-imagination system that incorporates voice recognition, AI, searching and other hard-to-grasp technologies, all at our fingertips?

Every time I try to delete an email it changes to "undelete" it will not allow me to delete an email in my inbox

I received an email which I have tried numerous times to delete. When I puch the delete tab it reverts to "Undelete" I then click on that to set it back to delete and it repeats the process not allowing me to delete this email. I can delete all others in my inbox except this particular email. How can I solve this problem?

This solved my problem. Thank you very much.

After deleting an email in my 'Inbox', it is then downloaded again! How can I stop this repetition?

After deleting individual emails that I no longer need, I find that they soon re-appear in the 'Inbox' as new emails. This has been happening for several weeks now. What is causing this repetition to occur and how can I stop this from happening?

probably "leave message on server" setting
Check your accounts server settings.
Also if you have leave ..... enabled you must mark "until I delete them"

I can't delete any emails from my inbox.

I haven't changed anything in settings, and have already closed, reopened Thunderbird, and even shut down and restarted my computer, but nothing helps.

I still can't delete any messages from my inbox. I was able to empty it, but I had to move all my messages to an archive folder, then move the ones back to my inbox that I wanted to keep, then I could delete the archive folder.

Emails stay unread (inbox doesn't refresh)

Hi,
If I open an email in outlook 2010 they stay unread.
I have enabled following options in the reading pane:
Mark item as read when selection changes
Single key reading using space bar
I've also tried to enable the "Mark items as read when viewed in the Reading Pane" and set it to 5 seconds. But that also doesn't work.
I've also noticed that when I open an email, I go to sent items and then go back to my inbox, the emails are now marked as read? So it looks like my inbox doesn't refresh?

Hi,
Does this issue happen to subfolders under Inbox?
We can try to start Outlook with /cleanviews switch to check if the problem is related to corrupt view. To do this, exit Outlook, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
outlook.exe /cleanviews and press Enter.
We can also try to open Outlook in safe mode to check if this issue is caused by problematic add-ins.
Press Windows key + R, type outlook.exe /safe in the Run box and press Enter. If the problem would be gone in safe mode, please go to File > Options > Add-ins and disable suspicious add-in to resolve the problem.
Please let me know the result.
Thanks,

In windows 8.1 when using thunderbird, I can't delete an email in the inbox when a write screen is open. Delete works when no write is open. Any ideas?

Using Thunderbird 31.5.0. Windows 8.1 (unfortunate garbage version)

Mark them as Junk and Thunderbird will gradually learn what is and isn't "spam" (it prefers the term "Junk") and will start sorting them automatically.
You are indeed experiencing abnormally high levels of spam. Any thoughts on why? You do need to be selective about where you post your email address, and it helps to have multiple email addresses which you can use for different purposes. Also, never unsubscribe from unsolicited email messages. Just delete them.

Before I do a search and remove like this, I like to run a message track first, to see how widespread the issue is. If it's only a few users who received the message, I would just run search-mailbox against their identity and remove the email. Here's an
example of the message track I would run:
Get-TransportServer | Invoke-Command {Get-MessageTrackingLog -Sender "[email protected]" -MessageSubject "Important information about your account" -Start "09/08/2014 00:01:00 AM" -End "09/11/2014 10:00:00 AM" | Select
Sender,{$_.Recipients},{$_.RecipientStatus},MessageSubject,TimeStamp, EventId, Source, SourceContext,MessageId,InternalMessageId,ClientIP,ClientHostName,ServerIP,ServerHostName,ConnectorId,TotalBytes,RecipientCount,RelatedRecipientAddress,Reference,ReturnPath,MessageInfo
| Export-Csv E:\temp\MessageTrackingLog-ShadyBiz.csv -NoTypeInformation}
Then, if it's a few users, I get their identity info from the spreadsheet and run this on each:
Search-Mailbox -Identity michaeld -SearchQuery subject:"Important information about your account", Sent:'09/08/2014..09/11/2014', from:'[email protected]' -TargetMailbox "ex2010security"
-TargetFolder "ShadyBiz" -Loglevel Full -DeleteContent -Force -Confirm:$false
This would put the found messages into a folder called ShadyBiz in a mailbox I designate, then delete the content from the user's mailbox (you could then use the info in the folder for reporting purposes
and delete it once you are done).
If you find you have to run this against all the mailboxes in your company, you might want to try this approach:
$mbs=Get-Mailbox –ResultSize Unlimited | Where {($_.PrimarySMTPAddress –like ‘*yourcompany.com*’) –and ($_.RecipientTypeDetails –eq ‘UserMailbox’)}
ForEach ($mb in $mbs) {Search-Mailbox -Identity $mb.identity -SearchQuery subject:"Important information about your account", Sent:'09/08/2014..09/11/2014', from:'[email protected]' -TargetMailbox
"ex2010security" -TargetFolder "ShadyBiz" -Loglevel Full -DeleteContent -Force -Confirm:$false}

How can i delete multiple emails from my inbox from my IPhone 5c?

Use command-click to select multiple messages, one at a time. Use shift-click to select a contiguous set of messages (just like in the Finder). Then press the delete key.
