Gesture for deleting email?

Is there a gesture for deleting an email message in Lion?  I wish you could swipe to delete an email like on the iPhone...

Only gesture I know is righthand-forwardto-delete key
Maybe in the future your wishes will become true.

  • Would be nice for Apple to create means for deleting email across all devices. Time consuming device by device especially for members receiving many emails. What do you think gang?!

    How about Apple creating a means to delete email across devices especially when you have like 4 Apple devices (Mac, Macbook Pro, iPad and iPhone) Would benefit those of us receiving 13 - 1700 messages across the products. iOS 8 coming in fall. What do you think gang. Very frustrating and time consuming!!

    If you have a suggestion for product improvement, provide feedback to Apple - you aren't talking to them here.

  • IOS8:  Gap for Delete Email Message

    Is anybody else seeing this (below)?  If so, I'd like to encourage you to report it as a bug on http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.  I have done so, but the more people who report it the better.
    Under iOS 8 on my iPhone (I can't recall seeing this on my iPad), often when I delete a message, it leaves a gap in the inbox display:
    As you probably guessed, I send to myself four messages, entitled "Test 1" ... "Test 4", and then I deleted "Test 3" (only). The inbox display shows a gap where that message used to be.  The earlier messages failed to "slide up" in the list.
    First of all, I interpret this to be a bug.  I suppose one could suggest that it's a feature to ... make it easy to see where in your inbox messages have been deleted from, or something like that, but that seems pretty unlikely.  If so, it's clearly a huge waste of very-limited space.

        Thanks for reaching out to us lyndie. Having email come through on your device is always a benefit but not having the ability to remove the account is frustrating. I understand how you feel. I have 6 email accounts and get overwhelmed when I have to check them all. Listed below are some steps to remove a personal email account from your Spectrum 2.
    1) From a home screen, select Apps.
    2) From the Apps tab, select Settings.
    3) From the PERSONAL section, select Accounts & sync.
    4) Select Email.
    5) Select the appropriate email account
    6) Select Menu ( located below the display).
    7) Select Remove account.
    8) Select OK.
    Please let me know if the above information is helpful. Also after making the changes power cycle your device.

  • HT6030 Having major Mail problems since I updated Maverick on my 27" iMac. Delays deleting emails and moving emails to other folders. Anyone else having this issue? If so, any known fixes?

    I have an iMac that around 3 years old. Just installed Mavericks when it first was released. I also have a Time Capsule (2TB) that runs my network to my other three Apple devices: iPad2, iPhone 5s and a new Apple TV. Having major Mail issues here. Everything is very delayed and extremely slow. Moving emails to other folders sometimes takes a few minutes and the same goes for deleting emails. Delete them and they don't go into the trash for several minutes. It's getting very frustrating to say the least. Mail also quits very often. Mail also will freeze with the little color ball spinning, therefore I would have to force quit Mail. When the errors occur, it's automatically sent to Apple but there hasn't been an update since 10.9.1 that has fixed it. Apparently, that update was only for gmail issues. Anyone having the same problem? Fixes please?

    I have my entire network and all Apple devices setup as IMAP, not POP. If your settings are setup as a POP account on all devices, emails will not erase when deleted on your other devices. Just something to keep in mind. I'm sure you're aware of this but just wanted to throw it out there. Google IMAP vs POP. However, it seems like your having the same issues as I am. I'm going to swing by an Apple store by me and speak to the genius bar and see if they can come up with something or are aware of this issue. Keep you posted.

  • Delete emails older than 3 months sent to a distribution group

    Hi,
    Have a strange request hopefully someone can help me with.
    We have Exchange 2010 on site. There are a large number of casual staff who are only at work for a few months of the years, then are away for a long period. These staff are still receiving all of the Everybody emails that are sent out, causing their mailboxes
    to fill up and stop receiving emails.
    I have tried the usual searches and have found solutions for deleting email with specific titles and for specific dates; but I cannot find any information on being able to delete based on the 'To' field of an email.
    My query is -
    Is there a way to delete emails from all mailboxes in an organisation that have been sent to a specific distribution group that are over three months old?
    All help is always gratefully received.
    Thanks,
    Peter D.

    Hi,
    I have found a solution to this issue.
    Am posting it for when i need it later, or if it helps anyone else.
    Using Powershell, i use the following code to be able to search using the To field, which in this case is the name of the distribution group.
    #Add Exchange 2010 snapin if not already loaded
    if (!(Get-PSSnapin | where {$_.Name -eq "Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010"}))
    Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    get-Mailbox | search-mailbox -searchquery to:"DistributionGroup" -DeleteContent
    Now just to add the date variable...

  • Deleting emails from phone but choosing whether to keep them on server.

    Hi,
    new to Z1, actually new to Android, and wondering how to set up my Z1 so I can choose which emails to delete from just the  phone or delete from phone and server.  Having come across from Blackberry, which asks me whether I wish to delete email from phone or phone and server as well, I would really like to be able to delete emails from just the ohone, or from both with a delete option/choice.
    Is this possible with Android/Z1?
    Just to clarify, I don't want to change a setting so it only does one or the other, I want to be given the choice each time I delete emails from my phone.
    Otherwise pretty happy with the phone overall.

    You can set the phone to not delete any emails from the server from Email -> [menu] -> Settings -> [your account] -> Incoming settings. At the bottom of this menu you have an option for deleting emails from the server.

  • I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be back

    I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be backed up. I am supposed to do this before I go to the Apple store today to get my phone fixed. Can someone please help me? I have done almost everything.

    This article explains ways to reduce your iCloud storage: Managing your iCloud storage.  In addition to what's mentioned in the article, if you have lots of photos and videos attached to your text messages, these are all included in your iCloud backup and deleting them can sometimes significantly reduce the size of your backup.
    If worse comes to worse, back up your phone to your computer rather than iCloud.  To do this, connect it to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Back Up and to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  This can be used to restore your data when you get your phone back.  (In fact, it's faster because you don't have to download the data from iCloud.)

  • PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon in my dock was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted all my emails in my Outlook inbox.

    PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon that is in my dock, that I know nothing about, was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted ALL my OUTLOOK emails in my inbox.  Can someone please please tell me if there is a way to get my Outlook inbox emails back OR EVEN the emails that were in my Mail app - because even tho I never use the Mail app, at least the emails would be there.
    When I was trying to delete the emails in my inbox for the Mail app - I followed THESE directions.  It did in fact clear my inbox for the Mail app.  But then I went to log on to my Outlook account and EVERY SINGLE EMAIL was gone.  And not in the Deleted box.  Just gone.  Here are the directions I followed that screwed everything up.  Please help.
    Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors.
    Uncheck "Store deleted messages on the server".
    At the drop list for "Permanently erase deleted messages when", choose "Quitting Mail".
    Next...
    Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > General.
    At "When searching all mailboxes, include results from", uncheck "Trash".
    Select All = command A

    i found out my prob!
    here is what you do.
    go to the "system preferences" on your dock.
    click "software updates".
    click "installed software"
    if it shows something about a recent update about "EFI UPDATE, FIRMWARE, THUNDERBOLT" or anything like that, exit out of it.
    go to mail.
    click "mail" at the top.
    click "preferences...".
    find the account you are having trouble with, once you do, make sure its highlighted, then click the "-" at the bottom of the window (this will only effect that mail account, it will not effect your ical weather or not its synced thought that email account)
    hit the "+" (right next to the "-") and add your accout back!
    its something with that update that effected mail, i hope this works out for you, if not reply back

  • For an iCloud and/or Windstream email account, how can I delete emails across multiple devices, without having to go to each device?

    I have a friend with an iCloud email account and Windstream account on both her iPad and iPhone... She's saying that when she deletes an email from one device, it doesn't delete it from the other automatically... She's using both emails through the "Mail, Contacts and Calendars" settings under the "Settings" menu; not through apps...  I've had her check both of her email account settings to make sure that the settings were consistent... I've never had this issue with Exchange or Gmail, and I don't use the iCloud email account, so I'm a little unfamiliar with what else to look at... Can someone offer some advice, please?
    Thank you for your help!

    IMAP is the mail protocol that allows you to delete a message one place and have it delete everywhere else. iCloud uses IMAP, so it should be working. If the messages never delete, then something may be incorrect in the settings. The easiest thing to do with iCloud is to logout of the account on every device, and then login again. (Another common problem with iCloud email is people often have two Apple IDs, and thus may have two iCloud email accounts. If you get confused about which one you're using, you may think you've deleted email when you actually haven't.)
    If the iCloud messages do ultimately delete across all devices, then it could be that some devices aren't set to "Push" but are instead set to "Fetch" the newest info from the server. Fetch can be set to as long as an hour between check-ins.
    The same holds true for Windstream if she's using an IMAP account there, too. If it's a POP account, then deleting a message one place will never delete it anywhere else—that's the way POP works.

  • Rescuing deleted emails from Outlook Express 5 for mac

    Dear Forum
    Wasn't quite sure where to post this, but I would be grateful if anyone could cast some light on the following puzzle. I am trying to retrieve deleted emails from Microsoft Outlook Express 5 Macintosh edition (vers 5.02 2022) running on a G4. Using Data Recovery 2, I have uncovered two databases that hold the information, but I am unable to open them in Outlook or other programs. Is it something to do with 'End of file' as a friend suggested? I have tried importing them as my default database to no avail. When they were opened as raw text, there are definitely email addresses and parts of emails embedded in there, but nothing I can use. I desperately need to access these mails so that I can take an ex-client, who still owes me money, to court.
    Any assistance would be most appreciated.
    Thanking you for your help.
    Kind regards
    Chilliman2

    Hi, chilliman2 -
    There is one other option. You can use BBEdit Lite to open the message and database files. This utility will display all the text in most any file, including many damaged ones that otherwise can not be opened. BBEdit Lite is free -
    BBEdit Lite
    Although the SFGet window, opened via the Open command in the File menu, will not display the OE files as openable files, they can be opened by dropping them onto the icon for BBEdit Lite (just confirmed that to make sure).
    The bad news - you would need to search through the file to find the section for any specific email message, then copy that portion to another file for printing. This can take a lot of work if the file is large.
    The good news - even the usually non-visible header info for each message is included in the Messages file, and is shown in BBEdit Lite.
    Whether this result will be suitable for your purposes is a different issue.

  • I need to recover my own deleted email for a civil court action. What do I need to do?

    I have a contentious civil proceeding and need to be able to recover deleted emails from and to one specific email address. I've tried to recover the deleted email using backup and restore from iCloud but this really did nothing. Since they're my own emails - on my own account I figured some sort of process or legal request would suffice - but what kind of request, who do I make it to and who has to ask for it? Help!

    I prefer a clone/bootable backup ovver Time Machine myself.
    For TM you need a running OS, then time to restore, with a clone you can boot from that & keep working while doing the other when time is better. And you can test a clone before you need it.

  • My IPhone 4's mailing feature does not display the toolbar at the bottom for deleting, moving, or writing emails. What is wrong with it?

    My work recently decided to buy every full time employee an IPhone 4 to be used for work purposes. (I do suspect these are refurbished, but I don't think that matters) I have had no trouble with it, except for on occasion the mailing feature does not display the toolbar at the bottom for deleting, moving, or writing emails. You know what I'm talking about...that bar at the bottom of the mailbox when you open an email that you use to delete, respond, forward, move, etc. It just goes away for no reason, and then reappears for a day or two, and goes away again. It is quite annoying since I can't respond to any of my emails without getting on my work computer. If you have any suggestions, please help!

    Hi there,
    You may need to force close the Mail application when this happens. The next time this happens, use the steps in the article below to coles out of the mail application.

  • Automatically delete emails in Mail for OS X

    I currently have Mail set up so that it automatically archives emails received beyond a certain date to my Time Capsule. However, I then have to go into my inbox and delete the ones that I no longer need.
    As such, is there any way of setting up Mail to automatically delete emails in my inbox, preferably a couple of days after my archive schedule so that they're not deleted before they can be archived! I note in Preferences that there is an option for Trash and Sent, but not the Inbox.
    Cheers.

    sure. see my post here

    one change to this link. Cronnix does not seem to be avalaible any more. you can make a launch daemon to periodically run the script using Lingon. or you can use automator to make an ical plugin out of it and run it periodically using ical.

  • I am using outlook 2013 for my emails.  My junk emails get automatically deleted.  I have had several people say they sent me emails and i can not find them.  They are not in any of my inboxs. Can anyone please help

    am just not receving.  It;s not in any of my inboxe.  I am losing alot of important info and don't know why.  Please help

    If you suspect they are being marked as junk and deleted, turn off the auto-delete. Being that Office is a Microsoft product, you should ask them how to do that: http://www.microsoft.com/mac.
