How can I empty anApple e-mail program mailbox.  I have thousands of message I wish to delete, but am unable to do so.  Any suggestions?

How can I empty an Apple e-mail program mailbox.  I have thousands of message I wish to delete, but am unable to do so.  I open the e-mails on my laptop, so I don't usually need to open them on the iMac.  Whenever I use select all, and the move to trash, they always seem to reappear again.  Prospectively, I know I can change the e-mail settings in preferences, but that doesn't help get rid of what is already there.  Any suggestions?

You mention 2 computers. Not sure how one relates to the other. Are the messages on one and not the other?
Are they in the Inbox, or another local folder you created? If a local folder, delete the folder.
Do you have anything used to sync messages between the 2 computers? If so, disable it.
Select the messages and choose Delete instead of moving to the trash.
If that doesn't work, rebuild the mailbox, quit Mail and reopen and try again.
If all fails, delete the account from the computer. Since it is POP, when you re-add the account, there won't be any messages to download.

    How can I empty the Junk Mail folder in Yahoo without opening the messages?

    You can swipe across them on the left and delete them unread. Unfortunately there is no 'delete all' option in mail.
    Or you can just ignore them on your iPad and empty the junk folder when/if you access your mail online.

  • How can I sign up with Enterprise program, while I have an active membership of the iOS developer program?

    How can I sign up with Enterprise program, while I have an active membership of the iOS developer program?
    I have bought a memership for the iOS Developer program.
    I have created an in-house app.
    Now I want to publish it to all employees without registering the devices.
    So..
    I go to their website and try to sign up for the enterprise program, image shown below:

    Within the image above, I click continue...
    http://s14.postimg.org/46lqcpy74/Clipboard02.jpg
    Then I am taken to the image above, there I need to select a program, but I already have a program, the iOS developer program!  And the checkbutton of that program, is disabled. If I try to click continue at this page, without sleecting a program, a javascript-box shows "You have to select a program before continuging"...
    Do I need to unsubscribe my iOS developer program, to then register it again? Lol!
    PS: no clue where I should post this, looked over the forums and could not see anything related to singing up, registering for a program...

    Our apps came offline automatically shortly after this as iTunesConnect thought we had not renewed our license, even though we had several weeks ago.
    We had a brief panic as our apps were offline for 12 hours, which is how long it took Apple Support to work out what was wrong and hook things up. 
    I suggest you contact them ASAP to get this fixed so you don't get that iTunesConnect alert to your phone 'Your app status has been changed to Pending Contract'.

  • How can I set up my mail accounts to sync sent and read messages automatically?

    I'm not sure how to set it up so  my flagged emails, sent messages, and read messages will show the same in my MacBook Pro and my MacBook Air.  This seems like it would be a simple problem to fix, but I can't figure it out.
    Thanks!!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    This type of service is offered by IMAP email accounts such as the me address that is associated with your iCloud account.
    Are you saying it isn't working or are you trying to add a third party address (ie gmail, yahoo etc etc) to your mail account and expecting it to work like an IMAP account.

  • My iTunes 10.6.1.7 automatically restarts every time I close the program.  I have to open the Task Manager to close it and keep it closed.  Any suggestions to fix?

    I have closed the program repeatedly, but every time I do it reopens within a few seconds.  The only way I have found to make the program STAY closed (not using memory and CPU time) is to force it to close in the Task Manager.

    Do you have Logitech gaming software installed on the PC? If so, perhaps try the suggestion from the following post:

  • How can i cancel a strange mail?

    How can i cancel a strange mail that arrived to me? It is empty without object. The mail program doesn't permit mebto cancel and to move it.

    Just in case the email is bona fide but there has been a malfunction it is worth doing a Reset first. [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!
    If there is no change then just try to delete it. The reset should enable this to be done.

  • How can i restore my e-mails (especially a saved message file) after i uninstall and reinstall

    I have picked up some kind of bug in my e-mail program. I have used malwarebyte and Norton and I think it is cleared up. the problem is that I now cannot send e-mails. Comcast tells me the problem is in thunderbird and I should uninstall and reinstall. I have a "saved message file" I do not want to lose. where is this file and how can I save it. thanks.

    Please tell comcast from me that they are idiots.
    The suggestion to uninstall and reinstall is about as likely to fix your issue as dropping the device in the bath.
    So lets look at this. I assume you get some sort of error message, what is it? Exactly please.
    Personally I would be putting money on Nortons being the issue as it has a very long standing habit of making mail sending and receiving difficult.
    Check in the Nortons firewall that Thunderbird has full access to the internet. Automatic is not enough. Then disable all email scanning ion Nortons, reboot your computer and try sending again. Any better? A new error message?

    It's probably the MacDefender scareware trojan horse. If you have this here is how to remove it.
    1. Open Activity Monitor look for MacDefender process double click on it and hit quit or force quit.
    2. Go to System Preferences, Go to accounts, Go to login items look for anything related to MacDefender hightlight it by clcking on it once. Then hit the minus sign to remove it.
    3. Go to applications folder and drag MacDefender to the trash.
    4. Open finder and do a search for Macdefender and remove anything you see related to MacDefender.
    5. Open Spotlight (the little magnyfing glass in the menubar far right corner) and do a search for MacDefender.
    6. Restart your computer and empty trash.
    7. If you feel you need to have virus protection for your Mac use ClamXav. It's the recommended AV program for MacOSX. Hope this helps.

  • Why does FireFox truncate part of an E-mail of more than one page when I try to print it out? How can I sent an E-mail blaet to several but only show one name o

    When I try to print out an E-mail that is longer than one page, part of the 2nd page is truncated. I then have to go to Safari to print out the entire E-mail without part of it being truncated.
    When I have multiple E-mail addresses on a single E-mail, how can I send the E-mail so that each recipient only sees his/her name and E-mail address rather than everyone else that the E-mail is addressed to?
    Please advise.
    Thank you.
    Bill Leete

    Some style rules that Firefox handles well on the screen can cause this problem. Many email sites have a print button which simplifies the message format and removes navigation elements, etc., and Firefox generally handles print-formatted pages better. If your email site doesn't have print-formatted pages or those do not print, a "hack" is to select the text you want to print and then choose the Selection option in the print dialog.
    To hide email addresses from recipients, you need to place them in the BCC field. What do you put in the TO field in that case? You can use your own address.

    How can I add an e-mail address to my existing icloud account?  I curently only use one of the three.

    Each iCloud account only has a single iCloud account.  If you want, you can add up to 3 alias addresses that will receive email in the same iCloud inbox, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.
