E-Mails Being Permanently Deleted from trash

My emails are being permenantly deleted automatically from my trash folder after a week.  How can I stop this?  Thanks!

Howdy jknud2323,
iCloud mail normally moves deleted messages to the Trash and then deletes them permanently after 30 days. If you do not with them to be deleted, you can have iCloud move them to another folder instead of the Trash. See this article -
iCloud: Delete email
Specifically -
Change where deleted messages are stored
By default, iCloud Mail moves messages to the Trash when you delete them, and messages in the Trash are erased permanently when they’re 30 days old. If you don’t want your messages to be automatically erased after 30 days, you can have iCloud Mail move them to another folder.
Choose Preferences from the Action pop-up menu  in the sidebar.
In the General pane, select “Move deleted messages to,” choose another folder from the menu, then click Done.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.
    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

    Also, go to Settings>General>Usage>Manage Storage and see what is using the storage

  • HT1668 I get the "Unable to Move Message. The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash". whenever i try deleting from my ipad 2. I am unable to delete from Trash...HELP

    I get the "Unable to Move Message. The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash". whenever i try deleting from my ipad 2. I am unable to delete from Trash...HELP!
    Additional info...I am trying to delete these emails from a Webmail address. the Trash currently has 11 messages and they arent being deleted.

    Try turning the account off and on : 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 via the taskbar : 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.
    Another option is 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.
    If you still can't delete them then go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars,  select the account on the right-hand side of that screen, select Account, then Advanced, Deleted Mailbox, and under On The Server tap the 'Trash' folder so that it gets a tick against it - then come out of that series of popups by tapping on the relevant buttons at the top of them and then see if you can delete emails.

  • Trash will not delete from trash folder! What can cause this effect?

    Trash will not delete from trash folder! What can cause this effect?

    u can actually force it to delete, oviously i assume you dont have the application or data etc open neware else?
    try restarting your computer, go into finder close all your open applications etc, servers, **** even clear your data in your web browser, do a disk utility check and verify your drives and repair em if nessicary.
    as chamar suggested look at http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/trash.html
    i had the same problem before but with a good 5-10 minutes of googling i was able to solve it..
    best of luck

  • How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance

    How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance downloading it again, especially because (believe it or not) I added it to my phone because that's precisely where I wanted it!! Any help much appreciated

    FYI I had to put this link into firefox to reply - because **** back safari just wouldn't register my clicks to any of the links on the post... Despite reloadeing and even restarting my computer. Totally annoying and a massive pain in the ***.
    But in terms of my initial query; thanks for responding. But no, this is NOT the cause of the problem. I have auto sync and sync over wifi activated, but have also selected manually manage music and videos. Plus, all of my music and videos are on my macbook, absolutely all of it, so if it my phone was syncing with my macbook everything would still be on the phone. Life would be peachy if my phone jsut copied everything that was on my macbook, but unfortuantely it keeps deleting tracks for no apparent reason.
    Any thoughts greatly welcomed, because at the moment i can only conclude that my iphone is crap.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Issues with emails being permanently deleted on a random basis

    Good Morning,
    I have a user reporting that corporate wide emails (emails that go out to all users) are being randomly deleted from a shared mailbox.  The emails are being shift deleted and bypassing the Deleted Items folder.  This is a shared mailbox accessed by
    about 7 people.  I spoke to the manager and she "assured" me that no one has been deleting them. There are no Inbox rules and I have used MFCMAPI to verify that there are no hidden or stale rules. My best instincts tell me someone is deleting
    the emails, but without some sort of audit trail I cannot prove it.  Aside from that does anyone know what could cause this kind of behaviour
    I did enable Audting on the mailbox through the Exchange Managment Shell and verfied by using Get-Mailbox (Mailbox) | FL Name, *Audit* -- I am not getting any results.  I am using the following command:  Search-MailboxAuditLog (mailbox) -LogonTypes
    Delegates,Admin -ShowDetails -StartDate "xx/xx/xxxx" | ? {$_.Operation -eq "HardDelete"} | Select Operation, OperationResult,ClientInfoString, MailboxOwnerUPN, LogonUserDisplayName  Looking at a screenshot from an article I found,
    it should give me some information, but it does not.  Also, exporting an audit log from the ECP just returns a blank XML file.  Am I doing something incorrectly, or does the auditing not capture this information.  My best instincts tell me someone
    is deleting the emails, but without some sort of audit trail I cannot prove it.  I have also considered adding the corporate email addresses into the Reject emails from this sender in the EMC.
    Our environment is Exchange Server 2010 with all latest rollups and service packs.  Clients are using Outlook 2010 and Outlook Web Access 2010.
    Thank You
    Brian Dougherty

    Hi,
    First, please check if the AutoArchive feature if enabled for this shared mailbox.
    Besides, please check if these deleted emails go to the Recover Deleted Items folder.
    Did you enable mailbox audit logging before the issue appeared?
    I tested in my lab, created a shared mailbox and assigned full access to userA, userA login to this shared mailbox and delete an item to Deleted Items folder. After that, I searched the audit log for shared mailbox, it didn't return results. However, after
    a while, I checked again and I got the output. Could you please wait for some time and check it again?
    If there is still no any output, as a workaround, you can try to grant Reviewer permission of Inbox folder to those users who want to access shared mailbox instead of full access permission. Then you can check whether corporate wide emails are randomly deleted
    from this shared mailbox.
    You can use the following command to grant Read-Only Access to a mailbox.
    Add-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity [email protected]:\Inbox -User test1 -AccessRights Reviewer
    Best regards,

  • Mac Mail downloading archived, deleted and trash email from my Gmail account.

    I just purchased a new MacBook Pro Retina - retiring my old MacBook. When I synced Gmail with my Mac Mail all archived/deleted Gmail is coming in like new into my Mac Mail Inbox. This was never the case before. Any idea how to stop this? It's downloading thousands of emails in the order I received them.

    Turns out a hard reset did the trick

  • Spinning wheel, force quit mail, can't delete from "sent" box

    Starting yesterday, I see a constant spinning gray wheel and it says "indexing" or "Copying 26 of 43 messages". I cannot delete emails from my "Sent" box. It appears they are deleting, but when I click off of "Sent" then click back on "Sent" there they are again. Nothing goes to my trash can. When I click on the trash can some of my mail icons are grayed out. And... I cannot quit my mail without force quitting--everytime. I am able to send and receive emails. I have tried Repair Disk Permissions and Verified. Didn't help. Any ideas?

    Thanks Mulder.
    Neither of your suggestions solved the problem. Repaired permissions may times. It was not a corrupted prefs file.
    It cost me several hours fooling around and still do not know exactly what it was. Pulled the "envelope" file out onto the desktop and fired mail back up... that resulted in the "loss" of a few recent inbox entries and did not solve the problem. Replaced envelope file with the original and now I have to rebuild all my mailboxes one at a time, as there are only headers for each email and a message in each email. The message says The message from xxxxxxx <[email protected]> concerning “xxx xxx” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it.).
    There are hundreds of individual mailboxes. Mail will not rebuild a folder within a folder.
    I went around the back door to solve the problem of being unable to delete. Logged in using an internet mail program and deleted the offending emails. Shut the G5 down overnight and voila gone in the morning.

  • Deleting from trash

    Any explanation as to why people can't delete a project with content in it from trash? is there any way to bypass this without having to manually go under the project and subfolders and delete all the content before going back and delete the project?

    Hi thanks for the response.
    Yes, I've seen that document. We're not looking to disable the trash, we still want items to go to trash, but if you're deleting a bunch of items from trash, why have the user go one by one, removing everything inside first so they can remove the project/folder, then go to the next?, I'm sure Oracle would have a better solution than just "don't use trash then", after all you said it's like the recycle bin, if i click on 4 folders and try to remove it, it won't ask me to remove everything inside first for each folder. =/

    Try this.

    just make sure it is your admin account.
    if it is other account, use this instead.
    sudo rm -ri /Users/user_name/.Trash
    This will delete your trash bin and recreate a new one.

  • Why aren't my emails being automatically deleted from my ipad when I delete them from my iPhone

    Is there a setting that I have to program on my mini ipad so when I delete an email on my iPhone it automatically deletes it from my mini ipad?

    If you have an IMAP email account the actions should be synchronized across all devices, phone iPad and computer.
    If you have a POP account try Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Your email account>Advanced>Delete from Server>When removed from inbox.

  • POP3 mails get´s deleted from my Q10 when my PC downloaded it.

    My mails gets deleted from my Q10 after my PC downloaded them from the server. With my Bold 9900 this never happened. Please help me to keep the mails on my Q10.

    When the Q10 "sees" those messages deleted from the server, using the ActiveSync services, it 'mirrors' what it sees on the server, and deletes the messages from the Q10.
    Set your PC (Outlook or what on the PC) not to "delete messages from server on download".
