Draft Mails can't be deleted.

Selecting draft mails, clicking delete button, hitting delete key, or dragging to Trash. Tried rebooting etc. Neither of these work!
Any ideas folks?
The headaches in this OS upgrade is on par with a Windows upgrade. Bravo Apple!
Mr LinguaFranca.

Thank you -GP-
Rebuilding my mailboxes seems to have done the trick.
For anyone who doesn't know how to do that, select a mailbox, go to Mailbox (from the menu) and click 'rebuild'.
1 problem solved, only 19 more to go!

How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"? To my horror, I've emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes (and why do I need to enter this question three times?"

How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"?
To my horror, I emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes .
All mail also disappeared from my iPad, I suppose because they are "synched"
(Also, no offense, but why do I need to enter this question multiple times?)
Thanks for any thoughts.

I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal.

Hi,
According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.

How do I delete an e.mail on my 5s iphone that has a mime attachement? the e.mail can be read but not deleted. A message comes up saying that it cannot be moved!

You should be keeping a record of all your passwords, security answers, etc.

You can't download pictures from iCloud by logging into icloud.com. If you deleted pictures from camera roll AND photo stream, the only possibility is preforming a restore from an iCloud backup, assuming the backup has the pictures in it. (Many users have been unable to restore and get back their pictures.)
If the restore doesn't have all the pictures, then they are gone.
In the future, use photo stream to sync photos from an iPhone to a computer, then copy the photos on the computer from the photo stream album into a permanent album. Photo stream pics stay there only for 30 days, and only up to 1000 photos are stored. Don't use photo stream as a storage medium, it's only for copying photos from one device to another. Always copy (either via USB cable or photo stream) to a computer and then move to an album.

I can no longer delete my yahoo mail in iOS 8

Ever since updating to iOS 8, I cannot delete the mail in my Yahoo inbox. I get a popup telling me the message can't be deleted. Settings were the same as my iPad running iOS 7, so it's got to be something with 8. Any fixes out there yet?

Couple of suggestions:
Try deleting the account under Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Yahoo! -> Delete this account, and then going to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Add new account and resetting it up.
Did you turn on Yahoo's 2-factor authentication? If so, you previously would have created a device-specific password. If you have a new device, then that password probably doesn't work any more. You'd have to go to Yahoo and then request a new device-specific password (and delete your old one).

In yahoo mail, can I delete multiple messages at once?

For example, I'd like to try to clean up my mailbox. On an MS OS, I can do a search on "sears", everything with that word is displayed. I can then delete them all at once, usually with just one click. Is there something similar on a MacBook Air? Thanks!

Hey,
To delete them locally:

Have IMAC, Mountain Lion mail. Each time I open mail, the message Mail can't connect to the account "Google" followed by a request for a password of an acct that was previously deleted. How do I get rid of the message? Thanks

I have an IMAC, Mountain Lion. Each time I open my mail, a message box appears with the message Mail can't connect to the account "Google", followed by Enter the password for the user *****@gmail.com. The full account that appears is an account that I had previously deleted. I cannot prevent the message box from appearing. What do I have to tweak in order for this annoying box to keep reappearing. I have deleted everything I know of in Google mail and my IMAC mail. Thanks for any feedback

From the Mail menu bar, select
Window ▹ Connection Doctor
Look for the unwanted SMTP (outgoing mail) account in the window that opens. Double-click it. Another window will open, showing a list of all the outgoing mail accounts. The unwanted one will be selected. Click the minus-sign button to delete it, then click OK.
If there's more than one unwanted account, repeat.

E mail attachments that are deleted show up in all images or all documents; how can I prevent this form happening?

e mail attachments that are deleted seem to still show up in the all images or all documents files; how do I keep this from happening? If an attachment is deleted I don't want to continue to keep a copy anywhere. Thanks.

I know this is almost a year later but I have been searching for a solution to the same problem you had. How did you fix this issue? I can see that something pops up on this site right before a transition. Why does that happen and not show in the preview and how do you fix it? Any help is appreciated!

Can't open/delete or send Hotmail e-mails (Firefox 5.0)

For the past several days, I have been able to open Hotmail and see e-mails, but not open, delete, move, or send e-mails. I am unable to highlight anything.

Before creating a new empty profile, you can follow the [[Basic Troubleshooting]] steps and maybe start by running in Firefox [[Safe Mode]]. This is the Firefox "debug" mode which uses the default theme and toolbars/controls, disables hardware acceleration and disables all extensions. See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] for detailed instructions.
