How do I delete an email if I receive the message 'unable to move message'?

I have an email stuck in my inbox that I cannot delete nor archive. I get the unable to move message note.

Jo Space,
Is the error message, "The recipient was rejected by the server as invalid or missing" or something similar?
If so your outgoing mail server may require a username and password.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

How do I delete an email account, but keep the email?

I have an email account from ISP that I no longer use. I want to delete the account, but I don't want to lose the email. How do I delete the account and save all of the email?
Can I create a folder and move all of the email from the account I want to delete to the folder? From what I've read so far the email would still be deleted from that folder.
This seems like it would be a common occurrence with a lot of people, so I'm surprised that there is not an solution from Apple. Apple indicates that if an email account is deleted you will lose all of the mail. There should be an option when you delete the account that asks "Do you what to keep all of the email from this account? Yes/No". If yes then the system automatically saves email to an archive folder or something similar.
Hopefully there is an easy workaround solution.

Create a new "On My Mac" mailbox and move the messages to it. Then delete the account.

how do i delete my email from facetime

Delete it the same way you added it. There should be an icon on your home screen for "Setup Internet Email" or "Manage Internet Email" and you can use that to delete your email account from the BIS system.

"Unable to Move Messages" (Edit deletions message)

When I check multiple messages for deletion in my IMAP inbox on my iPad or iTouch, I get an instant screen message:
"Unable to Move Messages. The messages could not be moved to the mailbox trash."
The selected messages do disappear from the stack but what is this message trying to tell me?
Thanks for any thoughts.

Thanks for the reply. It would be helpful if you could suggest what might be a better place to ask this question?
Upgrading my 6 devices to Lion has been unimaginably costly, time consuming and frustrating and it's not to easy to understand what might be causing what.
Maybe there should be a forum for Query Triage? ;-)
Any ideas?
Thanks

How do I delete stored email addresses in my iphone? When sending photos, I don't want to have certain email addresses "popping up" from the internal memory, I've deleted my entire "Contact" list but they still appear. Help please!

How do I delete stored email addresses in my iphone? When sending photos, I don't want to have certain email addresses "popping up" from the internal memory, I've deleted my entire "Contact" list but they still appear. Help please!

As with the Mail app on a Mac, the iPhone's Mail app stores all email recipients in a list of previous recipients which is separate from the address book or contacts. The email address autofill feature when addressing an message pulls from Contacts and from the list of previous recipients.
Different from the Mail app on a Mac, there is no access to the list of previous recipients with iOS on an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad to remove a previous recipient from the list, or to add a previous recipient to the address book or contacts that is not already entered - not at the present time anyway.
The only way to purge the list of previous recipients at the present time is by restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, which will start being re-populated again with every sent message.

How do I delete ALL emails on Droid Turbo (pop3)?

I have a Droid Turbo, and love it. But I cannot figure out how to mass delete (all) emails from the phone. I use Pop3 to my email.
I know you can swipe individual emails to delete or press and hold on an email to select, then do the same individually to many and then delete, but I cannot find a "delete all" option like my previous Droid Maxx. Because I haven't been able to keep up with it, I have over 999 emails sitting in there with no way at the moment to delete them all unless I spend a few hours deleting each one, one by one.
Any help here?
Thanks.

That is extremely disappointing. If I delete the account from my phone, will it delete all the messages that way? I might have to find a way to delete and re-add the mail into the phone as the current amount of messages is a large bloat to the phone.
Also, where do I suggest this "delete all" be added to the phone? This was on the Droid Maxx and previous versions. It is odd they would remove an option that could cause extreme bloat.

Select a message, hold the move button, deselect the message while still holding the move button.
A new window appears allowing you to move all messages to the trash.
Bingo!

I have an ipad 2 and I noticed I have over 3000 emails in All Mail. I want to know how can I delete these emails. It looks like you can only do it one at a time. It will take me forever. Please help me.

You can only delete them one at a time on the iPad. If you have an IMAP email account, go to your email in on the server using a web browser and select as many as you can at a time and delete them that way. That action will be reflected on the iPad. In IMAP - whatever you do on one device syncs across all devices. If you have POP email - start deleting one at a time.

How do i delete sent emails in one go?

How do i delete sent emails in one go? There must be a few thousand sent items in there with large attachments. Of course it would be silly to do it one by one, so whats the quicker solution?

You could always try the Mark All thing again for sorting. Do the same as before, for delete (come to think of it, do it before you Delete All, otherwise you'll have nothing to sort). Having Marked All, instead of Delete try Sort. Does this make any difference?
