Deleting in Mail Issue

Hi All,
Out of nowhere I am receiving the following message in my mail....
“635254.emlx” couldn’t be copied to “Messages” because an item with the same name already exists.
I tried deleting a bunch of old sent mail and now I am getting this message whenever I am trying to just delete an email.
Please help...

Hi. Sorry about the extended delay. Weather issues...
Good news/Bad news:
Good news: Mail account sets up fine when logging in as guest, opening mail, and adding account.
Bad news: In my main account, even after deleting the com.apple.mail plist and turning the Mac off and on, mail still crashes - right after I enter outgoing server info. In fact, a couple of iterations ago, the whole machine crashed. (I started up off Diskwarrior and rebuilt the drive when that happened). After the rebuild, though, the Mail app. still crashes at exactly the same place in the account set-up sequence.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Mailbox Issue - Won't Delete ANY mail

Hi there,
I seem to have an issue with Mailbox on my MacBook Air. Please note: I did NOT have the issue on my iMac, before I sold it and reset it. Both Mailbox accounts were set up exactly the same.
I have a hotmail account which I have set up through Mailbox. I can send and receive with no issues at all. The only thing I can't do is delete the mail. I have over 15,000 junk emails and can't delete them. It's exactly the same with my Sent and Trash folders. I like a nice clean Mailbox - this isn't good for my OCD!
Regards,
James

Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Advanced tab for the account preferences, is "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message" selected and if so, what is your selection below for removing messages from the server when downloaded by the Mail.app?

HT1688 I am having issues get my email in one of my mail accounts so I tried to "DELETE" the whole account. But my phone will not delete a mail account. And the phone is getting really hot and battery was full 2 hours ago and now at 25%.

Well, you don't say what happens when you try to delete the account. So I don't know what else to recommend. However, if your phone is not charging, is that the mains charger or the computer USB? Also, if it not showing any change to battery percentage, then something is wrong with the software. The next step in user troubleshooting after the reset is a restore from backup. However, considering the condition of the phone right now, I would be more than willing to say your backup is going to be corrupt. But you can try. If that does not fix the device, then you restore as new, not from a backup. If the phone works, then you can try restoring the backup again, but if it messes up, you are going to have to restore as new again. If the restore as new does not work, then you need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar or Authorized Apple Service Provider to get the hardware checked.

Mail app will not open at all. I cannot even delete a mail account. Wondering if daylight savings time has caused an issue.

When I click on the mail app it either immediately crashes and brings me back to the home screen or it opens briefly and tried to download all previous emails and crashes in the middle. When I try to delete a mail account it says it can't because it is syncing. I closed mail using the double click (which only shows a black white box) and I have rebooted three times. The time changed today. Could it be a bug?

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Safari & Mail issues I am having after moving over to Safari from Mozilla

I am transitioning from Mozilla to Safari for mac and it is a very painful process. Nothing seems to work intuitively. Some issues I am having:
In Mail
1. When deleting the mail in my mail box, it always deletes from the bottom up and not the top down. I cannot seem to find a way to change this.
2. Whenever I delete the mail I don't want, it greys out but doesn't leave the mailbox- even when I try to drag it to the trash, it still stays there.
3. Each time I start the machine, the old greyed out mail duplicates itself.
4. The mail program is always crashing (literally 5 times a day) - is it that I downloaded the beta 4 of safari?
5. Is there an easy way to display the address book? It seems that I fuss and muss for a few minutes before it actually shows up. I am trying to upload new addresses in it and it is very difficult to open. When I click on the link on the header, a little address window comes up, but not the one for adding addresses.
Safari:
1. I am trying to sort my bookmarks that I imported from my mozilla program and safari doesn't allow me to show both my current bookmarks and the imported ones in the same window panes. So rather than seeing "the whole picture" of where I am clicking and dragging, I have to battle with watching a stream of bookmarks and sub bookmarks scroll by until I get to the file I want to add to. Very irritating
2. Is there a way to set Time machine so it isn't always backing up (other than turning it off)? I don't need hourly backups, and would be happy with daily ones.
My transition from Mozilla was an ugly one, and I still have lots of pieces of Mozilla, Firefox, Thunderbird, and Seamonkey still loaded in the profiles section of the HD. Could these errant pieces be part of the problems?
There are more issues and I will post them as I detect them. I would appreciate any help

I also see that it seems to be moving all of the mail over from my gmail account. I didn't mean to move everything out of gmail to this computer! Now what do I do??

I'm having problems with excessive email usage on my iphone 4/ios 7. Just noticed that (settings/usage) it was using 900 mb. I deleted all my mail, deleted the mail account, and it still says it's using 661 mb. My ipad uses a fraction of that.

I'm having problems with excessive email usage on my iphone 4/ios 7. Just noticed that it (settings/usage) was using 900+ mb. I deleted all my mail, deleted the mail account, turned the phone off and back on, downloaded any remaining mail on the server to Outlook on my computer, and it still says it's using 661 mb. My ipad uses a fraction of that.
Background: I recently (December) bought an ipad and set up icloud for contacts and calendar, but NOT mail. My email provider is Verizon. I use computer, iphone, and ipad to check my email; eventually I download it from the server using Outlook on the computer and then delete any remaining emails from the phone and ipad. I can't find info on this problem anywhere.

Howdy there COUGAR444,
It sounds like your iPad all of a sudden seems to be restarting out of no where. If you haven't called AppleCare yet, I would start with quitting either the app that seems to be causing the issue, or all the apps if a single doesn't seem to be the culprit.
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes, then restore it as new and verify that it works.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling

I have an iPad 2 and receive e-mail through internet connection. When I delete e-mails, and clear my Trash folder, they re-appear. Setting are for remove from server when moved from Inbox. Any idea what I can do to actually delete them?

I have an iPad 2 and receive e-mail through regular internet connection. Lately, when I delete e-mails, and clear my Trash folder, they re-appear, downloaded anew from the server and marked as unread. My e-mail Advanced Settings are selected for "Remove from server when moved from Inbox." Even when I access the e-mail accountfrom my desktop and delete the e-mails, the re-appear on my iPad. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this and what I can do to actually delete them?

Sounds like you are looking in the wrong Administrative Group container which is why you are seeing your Exchange 2010 servers in there.
When you install Exchange 2003 only you will see a container named by default as "CN=First Administrative Group" container. But this could be named anything if you changed the Organization Name on the installation when you installed the first
Exchange 2003 server into the domain/forest.
You will notice that when you install Exchange 2010 part of the AD setup is to create a new configuration container and is named by default "CN=First Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)".
So it sounds like you are not looking in the right location within ADSIEdit.
You may find the following article also helpful for this issue which is the same resolution:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2012/05/17/empty-cn-servers-container-causing-issues-with-public-folders-on-small-business-server-2011.aspx
I recommend though that you ensure your Exchange 2003 servers are fully uninstalled or no longer present in your environment before you go deleting the Servers container though.. The following Microsoft article will help with this:

After installing update 11.0.07, getting overflow error in ibm notes 9.0.1 when trying to delete a mail dokument

I just upgraded von Adobe Acrobat 10 to 11.0.7, because i wanted to use the pdfmaker in Ibm Notes 9.0.1. But after that every time i try to delete a mail document in my mail-database, i get an overflow error message. Deleting the line with the link to the local adobe maker file for notes in the notes.ini (AddInMenus=C:\PROGRA~2\Adobe\ACROBA~1.0\PDFMaker\Mail\LOTUSN~1\PDFMLO~1.DLL) solves the issue, but then you can not use the pdfmaker anymore.
I don't know, if this problem exists with 11.0.06, the first Version which should support ibm Notes 9.x.
Any suggestion how to fix this problem?
Many thanks
Harald

IPad Mini mail issues

Just switch from ipad 3 and restored from iCloud. That was a mess s I had to delete old apps that shouldn't have installed. Now my mail only shown up for a few accounts. Other accounts keep asking for a password which i entered numerous times. Then is says "connecting" in the status area, but no mail shows up. I tried resting network setting, no fix. I really don't want to start this ipad from scratch because this is exactly why I paid for the iCloud upgrade...to restore my settings the way I left them.

Nevermind the mail issue. I had to reset my macmini server.

MBA lion Mail issue: window disappears randomly

hello:
Having some MBA 13' mail issues:
1) mail window will disappear (only using cmd+0 shortcut will bring it back - or going to window>message viewer) randomly without any reason
2) starting up a new email or new note then closing this note or email will close the entire message viewer window...why?
3) emails deleted within the 'inbox' section will not delete in the Gmail section (setup as IMAP, with Gmail defaults)
I am a little concerned with 1 & 2 becuase these are huge user experience issues, it is the most frustrating thing to have to continually use the short cut to open up a window which should not have disappeared in the first place!!
any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

Hi Fred
I've got the same issue. It seems to happen randomly but so annoying when it does. Upgrading to Mountain Lion hasn't helped and I've changed my keyboard and reset all the short-cuts to the default settings and still it happens in Mail and Microsoft Outlook for Mac when I'm typing a mail.
Did you find a solution?

Yosemite Mail Issue

I hope this gets posted in the correct or most appropriate category and I apologize in advance if it is not correct
Since updating to 10.10.1 on my new iMac 27" I have an issue with mail
Open a mailbox, then click on an email but don't open it, open the color selector and pick a color, in the past that email listing would change to the color you picked, now it does not but when you go to another mailbox and then back the email is highlighted in the color you chose.
In Mavericks and previous versions the highlighted email message would change immediately to the color chosen, I am NOT talking about flags.
Apple supports said it was a font issue but I created a new user and also removed all fonts then restarted and still have the issue

I can't even get the Exchange Mailbox to appear in Mail.app. The same account works for Calendar and Reminders (Tasks). Configuring as an "Other" type account also does not work. Instead I end up with an IMAP style account that can't be deleted from mail.app.

Hi sookeysox,
It sounds like you’re running into an issue deleting messages in Mail on your Mac mini. If you haven’t already, try adjusting the Mail preferences as suggested in the article linked below.

Also, you can find additional information and troubleshooting tips about deleting messages here:

You're saying this is happening on a Mac?? Find My iPhone is a feature of iOS devices, not Macs. If you are trying to change the iCloud ID on an iOS device, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Having Some Mail issues on Apple Mail 5.2

Hi All - Having some mail issues lately with my gmail account Imap set up.
I can receive mail but when trying to send mail it pops up with the follwoing:
"Can not send message using the server smtp.gmail.com"
I tried deleting the gmail account on my iMac and setting it up again. in the set up It gives me two choices as an outgoing server:
smtp.gmail.com and just Gmail. If I choose Gmail I can send the messages, but is this secure? I've always used smtp.gmail.com for outgoing without any problems.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

Thanks for responding BGreg - Yes everything looks OK under the advanced tab (see below) I never had any
"Red Dots" in connection doctor on the old smtp.gmail.com but it wouldn't work. The new outgoing server - labeled merely Gmail works and appears to be the same as smtp.gmail.com, but I've never seen this in the past - it's always been called smtp.gmail.com I wonder if Google changed the name?
