How do i remove recovered messages from my email

I need help removing recovered messages from my email.

I posted a very similar question.  The answers I received here did not help.  For anyone else looking, here is the solution that finally worked. My son found it via a Goolge search:

Please follow below steps.
1.Take your gmail account offline from Mail and delete the recovered messages folder.
2. Download the widget to show the hidden files fromhttp://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/developer/hiddenfiles.html
3. Go to UserName/Library/Mail/IMAP-<username>@[email protected]/.OfflineCache
4. Delete all the data under .OfflineCache folder - DO NOT DELETE the folder.
5. Close Mail application and reopen.
This should do the job.
Best regards,

  • How do i delete all messages from my email?

    I had a server problem over the weekend and all of my email messages that i got from day #1 are reloading as new, unread mail. How can i delete them all(thousands). I'm using outlook and have not been able to sync my Inbox. Contacts and all else is fine.???

    Check your account settings with Outlook for removing or deleting messages from the server when downloaded by Outlook.
    The iPhone's email client includes the same settings, as do all email clients for a POP account.
    I would handle this with Outlook. Delete and recreate the account with Outlook, and before checking the account for new message with Outlook, select remove or deleted messages from the server when downloaded for the account preferences with Outlook.
    All messages available on the server will be downloaded again by Outlook, and removed from the server when doing so. You can mass delete all messages from Outlook.
    When deleting and recreating the account with the iPhone's Mail client, none of these messages will be downloaded by the iPhone's Mail client after being removed from the server when downloaded by Outlook.
    Or since you likely have webmail access for this account using a browser, you can mass delete all messages available on the server via webmail access. After deleting the messages from the server, delete and recreate the account with the iPhone's Mail client.
    An IMAP account is much easier in this regard, which is designed to be accessed with multiple email clients on different computers or devices.
    A POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client on one computer or device.

  • ?How do I Remove RSS Feeds from my Email account?

    I set up some RSS feeds in my mac email account?
    Please don't tell me to "right-click" my mouse because I am using a macbook and I have no mouse, just the track-pad and right-clicking it does nothing different than left-clicking it. Or for that matter, than standing on my head and singing Celine Dion. Other than annoying my girlfriend.
    I have tried setting my preferences to manual update, even to making Safari the default RSS reader but I can't remove the feeds themselves from the email account.
    I have a Macbook, use Safari, Leopard, OS X 10.5 if that helps.
    Thanks in advance,
    Keith

    Dude, first the right-click thing... You can achieve the equivalent by holding down the control key and clicking -- you'll see a contextual menu pop up. Cool, huh?
    Now, control-click on that unwanted RSS feed and choose delete feed. Happy day!

  • Since the software update my photo from LinkedIn now is attached to all of my text messages and I DO NOT WANT THAT.  How do I remove my photo from my test messages?

    Anyone know how to remove your own picture that is now attached to all text messages?  Since the software update (assume KitKat) my LinkedIn photo is now attached to all my text messages and I never set that up, nor can I figure out how to remove it!
    How do I remove my photo from my text messages?  Android RazrM.
    Help!  It is driving me crazy.  Thank you.

    Thanks, but this information was not useful.  First it was outdated (2012 and the software is 2013/2104)  in the Settings/Apps/All section there was no "Text Messaging" icon.  Under "Phone/Messaging" the clear cache was not possible, it was not available, an active option.
    VERIZON/GOOGLE -  I am still hoping to learn how to remove my photo from my text messages - why is this so difficult?  Why is something like this added without my permission or at my request?   May be a reason to jump ship to iOS.

  • How do you remove the Messages icon from iPad.

    How can I remove the Messages icon from iPad.

    The preinstalled apps cannot be deleted. You can move it into a folder and place the folder on another screen if you don't want to use the app or see the icon.
    Tap and hold down on the icon until it begins wiggling and then drag the wiggling icon on top of another icon - any other app that you do not want to use would be ideal - and that will create a folder. Name the folder whatever you like. Tap anywhere outside of the folder to close it.
    While the folder and icons are still wiggling - drag the folder over to the edge of the screen - about halfway over - and just hold it there for a second or so and it will jump over to the next screen. When you are done - Tap the home button to stop the apps from wiggling.

  • So I downloaded the wrong Airplane Mode program for my operating system and I now have AppleScript Error message.  It will not allow me to quit the program.  Also, once that happens how do I remove the program from the computer?

    So I downloaded the wrong Airplane Mode program for my operating system and I now have AppleScript Error message.  It will not allow me to quit the program.  Also, once that happens how do I remove the program from the computer?

    What Airplane Mode program? To stop a running program launch Activity Monitor (in utilities folder) and quit the program from there. To remove the program drag it to the trash or better use the uninstaller that should have come with it.

  • How do I remove a 'wife' from Siri. I  I ask Siri to call or send a message.

    How do I remove a 'wife' from iPhone. I told Siri that my partner was my wife then I married her and changed her contact details and now Siri thinks I have two wives and asks which one when I ask Siri to call or send a message.

    Siri uses the relationship value from contacts to know who your wide is, so one of the contacts definitely has 'wife' marked in it, which you can easily delete in the contacts app. If it's not showing up, I'd suggest looking at where your contacts are synced to, because sometimes icloud contacts, gmail contacts or iphone contacts can be stored separetely (if you have played with the settings and chenged the default behaviour at all).

    I apologize. I didn't see that you hadn't updated to iOS 7. That's an iOS 7 option. With iOS 6, you'd need to restore the device as new. Note that that will result in your phone being updated to iOS 7.
    Best of luck.

  • How can I remove Snow leopard from my Mac, it crash all important programs

    Please tell me how I can remove Snow Leopard from my machine & revert back to Leopard 10.5.8
    Since I loaded Snow leopard, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Quark & Mail all quit over & over again. I never had ANY of these issues before loading snow leopard. I rely daily on the programs I listed. I am not saying once in a while, but constantly; opening the programs, exporting, placing graphics, emailing, you name it, it quits the program I am in. I keep sending apple the crash reports, but I am afraid I have reached my end. (Apple must have a folder fu;l of crashes with my email address in it by now.)
    To maintain my sanity PLEASE tell me there is a way to do this without risking loosing any of my data.
    I do have time machine hooked up.
    Please be a life saver (sanity saver) and tell me how to get Snow Leopard off my machine!!!!!

    First, Welcome to the Discussions,
    Second, there is no way to successfully degrade an OS to a previous version. You would have to install anew a previous OS, thereby erasing all your data. Then you would take that version up as far as you want to go.
    Of course if you've been using Time Machine you can recover to the prior system and retain your files using that.
    Best of all would be to have a firewire external drive and use an app like this to make a clone on. No worries then if one wants to go back before any major changes very precisely.

    Good luck.

  • How do I remove padlock icon from all my files?

    On one of my drives, every single file has a little padlock icon superimposed over the file icon. I recall when I did a clean install of windows 7 RC over my Vista install, I wasn't getting write access to the drive so I had to take ownership of the drive and mess with the security settings before it started working normally.
    I have to admit, I find the security settings in all versions of NT mystifying... For instance, although my account is in the administrators group, having full access to administrators never seems to work. I always have to add my individual user account and explicitly give it full access.
    In any case, I can't remember exactly what it took, but after messing around with the security settings for a while, I eventually was able to have full access to the drive and have no problems reading/writing/deleting files and folders, but there's the padlock icon still on everything.
    Can anyone explain how to get rid of it, and/or maybe point me to a good, clear, understandable guide on how to properly set NTFS permissions.
    Thanks!

  • How do you remove telstra messages and go back to visual messages on iphone

    How do you remove telstra messages and go back to visual messages on iphone

    Should be pretty easy as follows:
    1 - Make sure you have copies of any pictures you want that are inside Aperture somewhere on your computer.
    2 - Quit Aperture > Remove any Aperture icon from dock > drag the Aperture program (lens icon) from Applications folder to the Trash > proceed through any warning dialog (including entering password as required) to complete the process.
    Note - new security features in OS X Lion may present those warning dialogs to prevent accidental deletion of Apple programs.
    3 - Hold down the 'Option' key and use the 'Go' menu in menu bar and select the 'Library' option.
    4 - In the Library folder, open the 'Application Support' folder and delete any Aperture folder found.
    5 - While still in the Library folder, open the 'Preferences' folder and delete both the 'com.apple.Aperture.plist' and 'com.apple.Aperture.plist.lockfile' file.
    6 - While still in the Library folder, open the 'Caches' folder and delete the 'com.apple.Aperture' folder.
    7 - Go the your 'Pictures' folder and drag the 'Aperture Library' (may be named Aperture Trial Library or similar) to the Trash to delete it as well.
    8 - Empty the Finder Trash to remove Aperture.
    Note - there are some files and Aperture folders in the '/Library' folder (which is in the root of your system drive), but you don't really need to remove those. Since you are a beginner, it is probably better not to for now.
    That should do it.
    Additional edit: There are two Library folders I am referring to. The first is the one in your user account 'Home' folder which is the one you are going to by using the 'Go' menu. This is the one you are deleting files from in the steps listed. The second Library folder is the one in the root of your system drive and is not typically a location for beginners to work with (thus the final note above). Hope that is clear enough.
    Message was edited by: CorkyO2 to add clarity concerning the 'Library' folder.

    If you don't want the application at all, you can go to phone settings, find the installed applications and then remove Nokia Mail (might be Nokia Messaging).  After you do that, Software Update will keep presenting it as a downloadable update, but you can ignore it.
