If you mark them all and delete they wil be gone by the next pull. If there are no messages on the server your mailbox will be empty.

  • I have noticed recently that deleted e mail messages do not disappear from the screen.  Instead they turn grey until I switch to another mailbox.  When I return, they are gone.  Any idea why this has started to happen?

  • 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.

  • How to delete empty mail messages in my Ipad2

    I am receiveng empty mail messages in IPad2 and can not select them for deletion. They have no headers, no from or to, nothing? Any clues on how to select them? Edit in mail does not work either.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • N73 defect: cannot delete e-mail messages

    I've noticed a defect in the N73 which I'm able to reproduce reliably. The steps are as follows:
    - Set up a POP3 account with standard settings (specifically, in Retrieval Settings, specify "E-mail to retrieve: Headers only")
    - Connect to a POP3 e-mail account containing new messages. New message headers are downloaded.
    - Select a message and choose Options > Delete (or press the C key)
    - Choose either "Phone and server" or "Phone only"
    At this point the Messaging applications closes. There's no error message: it just disappears and you're back to the standby screen. When you start the app again the e-mail has not been deleted.
    This is happening on an N73 shipped in the UK, 3G version (with 2 cameras - I believe there's a 1-camera 2.5G version too?). Firmware information is:
    V 2.0628.0.0.1
    10-07-2006
    RM-133
    Nokia N73 (39.01)
    I'd be very glad of some feedback if this is fixed in a future ROM version so I can get it upgraded. Otherwise, I have to say, a superb phone. :-)

    It's not a problem with the (missing?)instructions from the manual.
    I've already complained at Nokia and they've sent me a
    formal mail with instructions how to do it
    (and be assured: they were like you would expect it to be!).
    After sending them a more detailed description on how to
    reproduce the problem they stopped communication.
    (So much for the good service!)
    But this phone and the current firmware just cannot
    handle email correctly.
    The only way how I'm currently working around the problem:
    1. Opening the mail
    2. Deleting the (still opened) mail
    3. Disconnecting from the mail account manually while still in the viewer; then email will get deleted.

  • I can't delete a mail message, and Mail crashes when I try

    Hello:
    I have a new G5 iMac 2.1 GHz. It is bone stock. I am new to Macs.
    I use Mail as my client. Yesterday a friend sent me an email with a small video clip that showed up embedded in the text. When I try to manipulate this message (delete, move to another folder, etc) in any way, it crashes mail. When I re-launch Mail, that message is highlighted, and if I even try to select or read another message, it crashes.
    Mail seems to have re-installed itself twice (it asked me all the details of my accounts, for example) but the existing emailall seems to be there.
    Does anyone know what I can do? It is very frustrating.
    Thanks for your help,
    Wayne BK

    HI Wayne! I can suggest one thing for you to try.
    CLose mail, then go to
    user[whatever you call your own desktop mine is shirleydrabble, then rename the mail folder at /user/Library/Mail
    To find it go to your hdd icon. click on your user name >
    library, scroll till you find MAil
    to something meaningful like mail-backup I saved mine to my desktop so I cold find it easily later without searching and start over again.
    Before you do the rebuild as below you might want to delete that particular email, unfortunately to find it you will have to open each message which will be in the form emix with a number, but as long as you know in which of your mailboxes it is you might be able to find it easily.
    Then you can Launch Mail, re-enter your account information and -using the Finder- if you have saved it to your desktop you don't need finder copy the old mailbox folders to their corresponding location in the new /user/Library/Mail folder.
    Just drag them there
    They might appear empty when opening your normal Mail.app in your dock, if that is where you keep it.
    afterwards. In Mail.app select a mailbox and simply hit Mailbox->Rebuild.
    IF you get ANY problems doing this post back I am sure someone else can help more.
    but as long as you rename the mail folder with back up in its name you will NOT lose any emails. but it might take time to get them all where you want them
    Just a thought
    When you download your mail do you leave a copy on the server? I was then thinking you could go to the server and delete the message online if it is in a WEBMAIL account like yahoo.then when you have renamed your mail folder to mail_backup you could just download all your mail again.
    I am hoping that you do not have hundreds of them, or that you only have one or two mailboxes set up.
    BUT
    I think read this then get back with your questions if you are unsure about anything.
    Good LUCK

  • Unable to delete some mail messages.

    My inbox is filled with messages marked No sender, No message. I can't delete them. Can someone help me out. I need to get rid of them.
    Thanks very much.

    Close the mail app and reboot your iPad.
    Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the mail app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    See if they have gone away or of you can delete them now.

  • Can't delete bulk mail message because can't see end of error message

    My problem started trying to send bulk mail. I received the message "cannot send message using the server outgoing..... The server “outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net” did not recognize the following recipients:"
    The problem is it is showing all the addresses I put in which doesn't end at the bottom of the screen. I guess at the end of the box, there must be some kind of choice I can click, but I just can't see it. I tried changing the screen resolution but still can't see the end of the message. I have to Force Quit to get out of Mail. How can I delete this message?

    I am having exactly the same problem as I run a rugby club and am trying to sent to circa 500 people. However I get exactly the same problem you have described. The only way I have found of getting rid of the offending message is to quit\force quit mail and then relaunching. If it tries to send again I turn off AIrport and this puts the message into the outbox from where you can delete it.
    Some ISP's in th UK limit how may recipients you can send a mail to to stop bulk mailers but the mac servers will sometimes let you send to in excess of 60.
    I'll try and let you know if I find a way around this.
