Deleting all mail configurations

I suddenly have problems with the mail app:
When I get mail most of the time the reminder sound doesn't work. When I preevies the mail it takes a long time for it to get marked read.
How can I revert to factory default, i.e. delete all configurations prefs etc.
Thanks

Maybe something went wrong with your harddisk (permissions etc.).
Do you ever run maintenance software (e.g. MacJanitor) or switch off your Mac every day? It's doing some maintenance by itself in the middle of the night if you leave it on.
This reply gets more & more detailed, just begin with the first instructions and see of that helps. If not, work down the list of suggestions.
Run Disk Utility - Repair Permissions and if that brings up a whole set of issues, try something more serious like Disk Warrior.
MacJanitor (free)
DiskWarrior (not free)
If you want more details on these problems, have a look here for Resolving Disk, Permission and Cache Corruption, it gives you a comprehensive description of how to deal with these problems. Plus some notes on side effects of cache cleaning

How to delete all mails with one klick?

It's annoying to delete every single mail.
How to delete all mails with one klick, like in the paperbasket?
Thanks

If the emails have been previously deleted (I.e. in the trash folder), tap Edit at the top of the list. You should see a delete all button at the bottom. If the messages are in a standard folder, they need to be handled one at a time.

I delete emails by putting them in trash. I have even deleted all mail. It all reappears no matter what I try! The mail icon shows I have thousands of emails and I can't get rid of them! Please help!!

I asked a question about deleting deleted emails but after trying to delete all mail, it said no mail but it still keeps reappearing. The mail icon on the main screen says I have thousands of emails. I've rebooted, hit the trash one by one but they still come back! I'm going nuts!

That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

Can someone tell me how to delete all mails together

hello,
can someone tell me how to delete all mails together on IPad?

You can only delete them individually to the Trash folder. From there you can delete them in one go - Edit> Delete all from the bottom!

How do you disable the shortcut key in Mail that deletes all mail in the trash folder

Is there a way to disable the shortcut key in Mail in Mountain Lion that deletes all mail in the Trash folder in all accounts: <shift><command><delete> ?
I did it once by mistake and it deleted all my trash - it is very difficult to restore when there are thousands of messages in various emaiil accounts.
Thanks

While you can't (so far as I know) remove it - you can assign a different (& less likely to be used accidentally) one via System Preferences - Keyboard - Shortcuts.
Go there, create a new one (or 2) for Mail only, and give it the exact name(s) if the menu item(s) in question, capitalisation & ... included.

How di i delete all mail at once

How do you delete all mail at once?

Very likely, depending on your email account.
The way I would do it is in fact to click on each email. If you press "edit", you can then click six or eight in each screen (which will place checkmarks next to each as clicked), and then simply delete them. It's really a very quick process.

"First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"

Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

Is there a delete all mail button?

The thing is basically I am too lazy to go through all probably 1000 or way more of my mail and it takes WAY to much time. Check my mail box, there's tons of mail in it. The question is, is there a "Delete All Mail" button that you can press? If not then is Apple able to if they are, please add it. Thanks!

No, there is no delete all button.
Note that this is a user forum; you aren't talking to Apple.

ICloud Mail, deleting all mail.

I have been using the iCloud mail from quite sometime now (Sense the first iPod Touch) and I have noticed it has grown quite a bit from the first release of the iCloud severs came out with the mail option and there is nothing that has shown me how to delete all mail from the server on the system and it is kinda heard to delete my Gmail n' iCloud mail with the combination of over 3500 E-Mail on file from the server in my inbox so is there any possible way to delete all of the mail?

You Gmail wouldn't be on the iCloud server; iCloud only hosts iCloud email. To delete your iCloud email, open your mail on icloud.com, click a folder on the left (such as your inbox), click on a single message to the right, scroll down and shift-click another email to select the range, then click on the trash can icon at the top. You will get an error if you try to select too many at once so you'll have to experiment to see how many you can select to delete at a time. Repeat this for each of your mail folders except Trash. When finished, click on the actions (gear-shaped) icon on the upper right and select Empty Trash.

I have an imap account and deleted all mail from server. Once doing this all emails from my iPad -which was on a wi-fi- where automatically deleted. Fortunately these emails are still visible on my iPhone that was without connection. If I send all these emails to my iCloud account - they will remain into my outgoing folder until I open my wi-fi- …BUT will they be sent when I open my wi-fi connection, or since they are no longer on my server… be deleted for ever!?

This is how IMAP works, if you delete from one device it will also be deleted in the other devices.
iCloud do not backup e-mails.

How do I delete ALL mail messages, without deleting the account

You have to do them one at a time if you're doing it on the phone. The easiest way to do it is to go into your mail account on a web browser and delete them from there.

How to delete all mail in IPAD 1 and keep mail untouched in Gmail server.

How can I delete IPAD1 mail while keeping original mail at the server ? The problem is that when removing mail from my GMail account on my IPad1 the original is also removed from the Server. I want to free thousands of mails listed on my IPad Google account saturating and congesting my tablet but without deleting the original emails at the server. Sorry to repeat. But I want my problem be clearly stated.However I would like to receive a copy of the mail I get in the server, so that I can trash everyday's copies without touching my Gmail account at the server. Maybe I have been redundant, please excuse me. Cheers !!! DavidSpartacco

It has been some time since I used POP3 on my iPad, it is just not a very good way to manage email between multiple devices. There is no check mark to simply change the Gmail account from IMAP to POP on the iPad. You will have to delete the account from the iPad removing all the email already stored on it. Once you have changed the server settings at Gmail you have to re-create the account on the iPad. Now that it is POP3 you should have a setting in the iPads settings to not delete the emails from the server when deleting them from the iPad. Once the new account is created on the iPad all the email on the server will download again and have to be deleted from the iPad. You will have to reset other devices as well, although Gmail may be able to handle both settings at the same time but they may conflict.
For your use, you may simply want to just use Gmail through Safari where you will be viewing your email directly from the server through the web browser. No messages are stored on your iPad, they are all managed on the server through your web browser. There is also a Gmail app available which may also leave all the messages on the server although I have not experience with the app.
When I had an email account set to POP3 I had the iPhone and iPad set to not delete messages from the server when I deleted them from the device. I had my home computer set to remove them from the server when they were deleted from there. It does work although each device is independent, reading a message on 1 device would not mark it as read on the other device. I ended up having to administer the email on 3 different devices even though they were the same account.

How to delete all mail settings and setup mail as if new installation?

Grrr! Comcast had my Mom change all sorts of email account and ISP settings, to the point where nothing works. I want to delete "everything" and start from scratch as if I just pulled the Mac out of the box. Will just deleting her email account be enough? Should I delete any files from the library? Etc.
Thanks!

All you have to do is delete the account. This will also delete all her downloaded mail if this is a POP account.

Mail usage high (3 gigs) after deleting ALL mail accounts

I have a 4s. My mail usage was 3.1G. I need that space. I deleted all 3 mail accounts and turned off iCloud. Mail usage dropped to 3G.
How do I recover those 3 gigs?
So aggravating. Any ideas?
Rick

Doing a restore did fix the problem. Thanks. For those doing the same, be sure to save your music playlists somewhere - the backup and restore did not restore my music playlists. That seemed to be the only thing not to restore. I recovered nearly 5 gigs.
