How do I get rid of VIP mailbox?

All of the sudden I have a VIP mailbox on iCloud. I can't get rid of it. Any ideas? Thanks@

Tried this - I think I'm doing it right - and not working. All incoming and outgoing emails appear in the VIPs and also in another unnamed stared folder in that box. I cannot delet either mailbox. I can delete mail within the boxes by choosing and deleting , often I have to do it 3 or 4 times before they decide to actually go away. Clicking on the star just highlights the message and then I delete, but new message from same recipient still shows up again. When the VIPs box and the folder in it are completely empty they are still there. Am I doing something wrong?

How can I get rid of the VIP mailbox in Yosemite?

I don't want to use the VIP mailbox, didn't set it up and don't want to see it. How can I get rid of it?

Click the disclosure triangle next to VIPs in the mailbox list so that it points down. You'll now see the list of VIP's you designated. Right-click or control-click each one that you want to remove and select
Remove from VIPs
from the popup menu.

In Mail, one mailbox for Recovered Message (AOL) keeps showing 1 very large message that I cannot delete. How can I get rid of this recurring problem, please?

In Mail on iMac, successfully running OS X Lion, one mailbox on My Mac for "Recovered Messages (from AOL)" keeps showing 1 very large message (more than 20 Mb) that I just cannot seem to delete. Each time I go into my In Box, the "loading" symbol spins and the message appears in the "Recovered Messages" mailbox. How can I get rid of this recurrent file, please?
At the same time, I'm not receviving any new mails in my In Box, although, if I look at the same account on my MacBook Pro, I can indeed see the incoming mails (but on that machine I do not have the "recovery" problem).
The help of a clear-thinking Apple fan would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

I worked it out.
Unhide your hidden files ( I used a widget from http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/developer/hiddenfiles.html)
Go to your HD.
Go to Users.
Go to your House (home)
there should be a hidden Library folder there (it will be transparent)
Go to Mail in this folder
The next folder ( for me ) is V2
Click on that and the next one will be a whole list of your mail servers, and one folder called Mailboxes
Click on that and there should be a folder called recovered messages (server) . mbox
Click on that there a random numbered/lettered folder -> data
In that data folder is a list of random numbered folders (i.e a folder called 2, one called 9 etc) and in EACH of these, another numbered folder, and then a folder called messages.
In the messages folder delete all of the ebmx (I think that's what they were from memory, sorry I forgot as I already deleted my trash after my golden moment).
This was GOLDEN for me. Reason being, when I went to delete my "recovered file" in mail, it would give me an error message " cannot delete 2500 files". I knew it was only 1 file so this was weird. Why 2500 files? Because if you click on the ebmx files like I did, hey presto, it turned out that they were ALL THE SAME MESSAGE = 2500 times. In each of those folders in the random numbers, in their related message folder.
Now remember - DONT delete the folder, make sure you have gone to the message folder, found all those pesky ebmx files and deleted THOSE, not the folder.
It worked for me. No restarting or anything. And recovered file. GONE.
Started receiving and syncing mail again. Woohoo.
Best wishes.

How to get rid of VIP mail box added version 6 ?

I just updated my iPod to 6.0, and there are two things I do not like about it:
First, it added a "VIP" mail box which I don't want. How do I get rid of it?
It also added a "passbook" app or something, which I don't want and don't need. I've religated it to the "not used much" folder, but I wish they wouldn't add it without asking me or at least let me take it off my device.
Shame on you Apple. For the first time since I've had my iPod I'm feeling messed with and I don't like it.

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

I continue to get the /.HTML/Rce.Gen3 virus through my mailbox almost daily. It is picked up by my anti-virus software. How do I get rid of this permanently so I stop getting it daily? Is it from a internet cache??

I use MacKeeper on my MacBook Pro
Ack! Get rid of that immediately! MacKeeper's bad news. Plus, it does a really awful job of actually detecting malware. See:

My active accounts are clean, but the On My Mac gmail keeps and continues to repopulate all email, even after I trash them.
If you're seeing messages remaining in GMail's All Mail folder after deleting them, that's normal. GMail keeps all messages in there, even after deletion, unless you manually delete stuff using GMail's web interface. See Hiding GMail’s “All Mail” from Apple Mail.
If you're actually having trouble deleting e-mail from an On My Mac mailbox, there's probably something wrong with your mailboxes.

I have a smartmail box and a 1 in a bubble next to it. I see no new emails to read so how do I find the ONE it says is there? if it is a glitch, how do I get rid of that bubble?

Try rebuilding the mailbox.
First select the offending mailbox. Then click on Mailbox in the menu bar, and select Rebuild. If the bubble goes away, it was a glitch. If it does not go away there is one unread message in that Mailbox.
To find that one:
In Mail, go to View / Sort by / Unread. That should bring the unread email to the top of the list.

Hello RickJFalcon,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to delete emails from Mail. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
iCloud: Reduce email storage space
Delete messages, which moves them to the Trash, by doing any of the following:
Delete a message that’s open: Tap .
Delete a message without opening it: Swipe from the right to left over the message title in the message list, then tap Trash.

To permanently erase all messages in the Trash and free up iCloud storage space, tap Trash in the list of iCloud mailboxes, tap Edit, then tap Delete All.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
