DELETING INBOX MAIL MESSAGE PROBLEM

I am getting a dialogue pop up box that tells me that the message hat I am trying to move to the trash can't be copied to "messages" because an item with the same name already exists. I completely emptied my trash and that didn't help. Needlwaa to say, this is extremely annoying.

Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox. Try to delete the message again.

  • Why I cannot assess deleted Apple mail messages in time machine after installing mountain lion from snow leopard.

    Ever since I installed Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard, I cannot retrieve my deleted Apple mail messages from Time Machine.  I could do it in the past using Snow Leopard.  The effective date for the the non-retrival of deleted messages is the date I installed Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard.  Any thoughts?

    I'm still not sure what you mean . . . is it listed in the "On My Mac" section in Mail's sidebar, like these?
    Mountain Lion appears to have given it an icon very much like an Archive box and put the "on My Mac" folder within that "Box" on both the back ups and the new Mail program - in fact it did it 6 times, which was the origional problem.
    Can you post a screenshot?
    I could restore inbox messages although they came in as a new mail box called Time Machine rather than into their origional mailboxes (there are 7 different addresses)
    Yes, that's how Time Machine restores Mail messages, so it doesn't erase the current contents of an existing mailbox.  You can then move them into the desired location.

  • Cannot delete 1 mail message on iPad

    Cannot delete 1 mail message on iPad.  Looks corrupted. 

    You could try deleting it by logging into your account on a browser. Otherwise try turning the account off and on and see if you can then delete it : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely and try again when you re-open Mail : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Why do I have to delete a mail message three times?

    I've been meaning to ask about this for some time, so the problem is not new, but whenever I want to delete a mail from the inbox, I delete it, then I have to delete it from the Mail trash, then I have to delete it a third time from Mail- On My Mac.
    I don't mind deleting twice, I understand that messages get moved into a trash folder (and it's good that they're there in case you need to reference them occasionally), but i'd really like to not have to delete the third time.
    Thanks
    Bruce

    Why would it go to On my mac?do you have a rule setup so it redirects your mail from inbox to some folder residing in your On my mac?

  • Cannot delete e-mail message

    Problem, there are 4 messages that cannot be deleted. When the messages are selected and the delete button clicked. The messages disappear from the inbox. When you click on the trash it is empty and returning to the inbox the messages are still there.
    I tried manually deleting the messages from the User -> Library -> Mail -> Inbox. But on restarting mail the messages are still there.
    Other messages can be deleted. But, if any of the 4 that can't be delete are hightlighted now other messages cannot be deleted.
    The computer that is having these issues is a MacBook Pro, running 10.5.2 and Mail version 3.1.
    Any thoughts or ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

    Deleting the messages manually from the User -> Library -> Mail -> Inbox and then restarting Mail and in Mail Rebuilding the Inbox solved the problem.

  • How to recover - rescue - deleted INBOX (Mail 2) with emlx format?

    Hello, I have accidentally deleted my emails (MAC OS 10.4.8, .emlx format). I had over 6000 emails in the folder INBOX. It happened because I stupidly used action "delete" from Mail menu (Mailbox - delete). I shut immediately my computer down and restarted the computer from another disc for best data preservation after I found zero emails in my INBOX. I have found and tried DataRescue II ver. 1.1 (ProSoft eng. inc.) software to recover .emlx format from affected hard drive but it only found old email format .mbox instead of .emlx. I have also found and tried FileSalvage Software (SubRosaSoft) to recover .emlx format from affected hard drive but only around 40 of .elmx emails was found. Are my emails really definitely lost? Can you help me please with some advice? Thank you! Best regards Fofr.
    iMac G5/2,1GHz/20"/iSight   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hello Fofr.
    FileSalvage is the only data recovery utility I know for sure that can recover deleted *.emlx files. I don't expect you to be able to recover all the 6000+ deleted messages, but just 40 without having done anything with the computer seems too little to me.
    What type of account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)? Any chances some of the lost messages could still be on the server?

  • Quota limit reached?  Delete Mac Mail messages?

    I'm a bit confused (make that VERY confused).  I keep getting this "Quota limit reached" message.   Apple iPhone rep tells me that I have to start deleting my 25,000 Mac Mail messages.
    Thing is, I don't have time to delete even half those messages.  If I have to, I will but is there another easier way?
    I don't really need Mac Mail on my iPhone anyway.  I'd like to just delete it all together buy iPhone Apple rep said that I can't because it's synced?
    I don't get it.
    Please help!  Whatever answer anyone gives me, please don't make it too "techie" --as in assuming I know more than I do.
    BTW, I am still using 10.5.8 on m Mac Book Pro.  Making an appointment today with Apple store to get this done.  Can't do it myself as I have some tech glitches that may cause problems if I try to do do this--so I need professonal "Genius Bar" help.
    Just thought I would add that in case it's relevant to this process.   

    Go to iCloud.com and click on mail. Then you can delete multiple messages quickly. All you have to do is hold your shift key and your up or down arrow keys to select multiple messages. If you have important ones, you can select up to those ones and delete the junk.
    Or, you can buy iCloud storage. Which is 20 bucks for 10 gigabytes.

  • Can somebody tell me why recently I am unable to delete e-mail messages on my I-Pod?

    For some reason I am unable to delete certain e-mail messages in my hotmail account.  Then when I delete other e-mail messages they re-appear when I check for my mail.  Can anybody tell me why this is happening?

    Try logging into the account on webmail and delete them their. Then try deletiong from the iPod.
    Also try a reset, nothing is lost except hopefully the emails.
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • SAP Inbox mail message

    Dear all,
    I am configuring static check with just warning message "Static credit check: credit limit exceeded" for information to credit rep & credit manager & no block at any level as per requirement initially (and delivery block after three months-later activity).this message that the credit limit has been exceeded should go to SAP Inbox of credit representative & a credit manager.
      Earlier the message was going to their SAP Inbox while testing but at that time i had configured static check with delivery block & used the routine 9 'credit check block' with source text
    'Requirement: Sales order is blocked due to credit'
    'If the credit block is set, a mail message should be created'
        Now since i am not using routine 9 (because the sales order is not blocked at any level), shall i create a new routine with my abaper to allow me to send a mail message if credit limit has been exceeded or some standard routine is available for the same.
    please advise how to proceed.
    regards
    vikas chhabra

    Hello Vikas,
    Yes, you need to create your own routine for that.
    In Standard there exist only routines 9 and 10 for that purpose.
    You can find additional helpful information on that topic in note # 677377, which you find on the SAP Service Marketplace.
    Best regards

  • Delete Old Mail Messages

    I've just archived all my old email messages using MailSteward. I would now like to delete those same messages (prior to 12/31/2006) from the mail folders I have created. Is there any easy way to delete all messages older than a certain date from a Mail folder?

    I just sort by date, select the most recent message I want to delete, then scroll to the oldest and shift-click it. Then delete. Alternately, you could probably create a smart mailbox to hold just the ones you want to delete, then select all and delete them from there. If this is something you do often, and the criteria by which you identify the messages are fixed, this would be worth the trouble of creating the smart mailbox. But it sounds like a one-time sort of thing, in which case the smart mailbox route is probably more trouble than it's worth.

  • How to delete all mail messages in account

    I can delete mail one by one, but is there a way to delete all emails in an account?

    Edit Menu/Select All then Delete
    Where's the Edit menu in the iPhone Mail app??
    @James - there is a Delete All option for the Trash mailbox, but not for any other mailbox. You can tap Edit then manually tap the selection circles next to each message, then tap delete. But, that's very inefficient! Your best bet is to access the mail account from a computer mail client (Apple Mail, Outlook, etc.) or a webmail interface and delete all the messages there.

  • IPhone keeps locking up when deleting e-mail messages

    I have been doing some mass deletions of e-mails on my iPhone this morning and the thing keeps locking up.
    I am pushing that "edit" button than the "-" symbol then "delete" next to each message in the list view. I'm doing it pretty quickly deleting one message at a time as fast as I can. (BECAUSE I CAN'T MASS DELETE MESSAGES!!!!)
    Anyways, it keeps freezing on me. I have to hold the home button for like 5 seconds to make the iPhone come back to life each time. It's really annoying.
    Is there a faster way to mass delete e-mails? Or, I am too fast for the phone and am I locking it up?

    I was having some wacky behavior with email, and it got better after I rebooted. I held the power/main buttons for 8 seconds until the Apple logo appeared on the screen,
