HT2500 I can't delete my email in my trash box

After deleting my email trash, when i return to the trash box they have all returned

You might get some free space in Safe Boot...
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, empty trash while in Safe mode.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • 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.

    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 can I delete an email on my iMac without opening it - I know it contains a virus

    I have an email account on my 2013 iMac - how can I delete an email on the account without opening it - I know from the subject that it is a virus

    It does not have a virus attached and unless you open whatever (if anything) is attached or linked to the email nothing can happen.
    So you can select and delete it and nothing will happen
    Although, if you never select it nothing will happen.
    Your choice.

  • How can I delete multiple emails on my Samsung Stratosphere at once?

    How can I delete multiple emails on my Samsung Stratosphere at once? I use AOL and when I delete the emails off of my computer, they do not delete from my phone. So I have hundreds of unwanted messages showing on my phone but I have not found an option to delete all messages, only individually. I would also like to be able to clear the messages from my phone without them deleting from my computer. This was super easy with my blackberry and I have not found anything similar on this phone.

    When I go to the trash folder on my Stratosphere, I can check individual emails and then hit "Menu" and "Delete", but if I hit the "Menu" button before selecting any e-mails, then I see the "Delete all" button, but it's greyed out, so I cannot select it.  There's also a "Restore All" button next to the "Delete all" button, and it's also greyed out.  So, currently the only way I can delete the 100's of e-mails in my trash is to put a check mark next to each one, which is painful.  Anybody else have this problem or know of a solution?

  • I bought a used iPhone and found him email iCloud does not affect me so how can I deleted this email in order to use the device freely and privacy

    I bought a used iPhone and found him email iCloud does not affect me so how can I deleted this email in order to use the device freely and privacy
    help me please

    You can't. Return the phone for a refund, if you can, because without the previous owner's Apple ID/Password, you will not be able to re-activate the phone. It will be useless to you.
    Apple can't/won't help you with this.

  • HT1430 I can't delete 2 email messages. All others delete properly, however 2 will not delete no matter what I try. A pop up message comes up and says "cannot not delete"

    I can't delete 2 email messages that I received on the same day from one of my email accts. I have **** down the device and reset the device with no resolution to the problem. I can forward these two messages to our other acct and it will delete from there but returns to my personal email again, repeatedly. All other messages that I have deleted from my acct delete properly. I get a pop up indicating that " the message cannot be deleted". How do I fix this?

    Delete the mail account and setup again.

  • How can I delete an email on my phone without it deleting the email on my company exchange server?

    How can I delete an email on my phone without it deleting the email on my company's exchange server?  Every time I delete an email on the phone, the email is placed in the Deleted folder in my Outlook email.

    Blackberry ran all your email through its own email servers. This gave you some features that you otherwise would not have had. However, it also left you vulnerable to BB's service outages.

  • I can not delete an email I get a message218130.emlx" couldn't be copied because you don't have permission to access "Messages"

    I can not delete an email I get a message218130.emlx” couldn’t be copied because you don’t have permission to access “Messages”

    Actually, the Finder solution did not work for me, but here's what did:
    Quit Mail (for safety's sake).
    Open Terminal (it's in Utilities folder usually, but since I updated to ML it's in a folder called Other for some reason)
    Once Terminal is open, you'll want to login as ROOT.  You do this as follows:
    Type
    sudo -i
    Then hit Enter/Return. You'll be promoted for your system password. Hopefully you'll remember it. Enter your password then hit Enter/Return.
    You'll then be at what's known as a root prompt.
    At this point BE VERY CAREFUL.  You have the ability at this point to completely destroy your machine beyond repair. Only type what I list below:
    To find the folder that contains the email message you'll need to type the following:
    find . -name "218130.emlx"
    Hit Enter/Return
    This will take a minute or two but what should appear in the list of other items that appear is something along the lines of the following (it won't be exactly this but will look LIKE this) I've replaced some personally identifying info:
    ./Users/yourname/Library/Mail/V2/POP-youremailaddress@yourmailserver/INBOX.mbox/ 0355DF0D-5E99-4798-B79E-48D71E68AF34/Data/3/2/Messages/23219.emlx
    This line describes the location of the offending email. You know what to put yourself into this directory:
    cd /Users/yourname/Library/Mail/V2/POP-youremailaddress@yourmailserver/INBOX.mbox/0 355DF0D-5E99-4798-B79E-48D71E68AF34/Data/3/2/Messages/
    Hit Enter/Return
    Notice, I left of the name of the actual email address. You'll need to be sure you type the location EXACTLY or this won't work. You want to be in the Messages folder. You'll know you're there because your Terminal prompt will look something like this:
    Your Name - iMac:Messages
    Then just to be sure you're in the right place, type
    ls
    Hit Enter/Return
    You should then see something like this:
    iMac:Messages root# ls
    23013.emlx    23096.emlx    23100.emlx    23156.emlx    23210.emlx    23213.emlx    218130.emlx
    You'll see the offending message. Now, you delete ONLY this message. Type:
    rm -f 218130.emlx
    That's RM at the start above. You'll need to type it in lower case. Be sure that's all you type.
    Hit Enter/Return
    You'll should be disappointed at the results because it will look like nothing happened. You can hit ls  and Enter/Return one more time and the offending file should be gone.
    EXIT TERMINAL. DO NOT TYPE ANYTHING ELSE. DO NOT "POKE AROUND". THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO EXPLORE. SERIOUS SYSTEM DAMAGE CAN BE CAUSED FROM HERE. EXIT TERMINAL NOW.
    Now re-open Mail  - the message will still appear to be in there, but magically, you can delete it. you can also delete it from your Trash for good measure.

  • Can't delete certain emails in Outlook 2007

    I work at a help desk and was presented with this issue that I can't figure out.
    At our company when someone receives a voicemail you can have it attached to an email and sent to the person receiving it.  I got a call from one of our employees that can't delete the email with the voicemail attached to it.  If she has the message
    highlighted and presses the delete key or right-clicks and selects Delete nothing happens, no error message, nothing.  If she tries to move the message to another folder she gets the message 'Cannot move the item.  The item cannot be moved. 
    It was either moved, already deleted or access was denied'  The message still shows in her inbox so it doesn't appear to have been moved anywhere.
    I also had her sign into Outlook Web Access and delete the message there and she got the same error message.
    She can hold down shift and then delete the message but that will permanently delete the item, which she doesn't want to do.  She can't even move it to an archive file if she wanted to.
    This just started happening recently when we upgraded from Win XP to Win 7, but we had Office 2007 on both so that didn't change. We have Exchange 2010.
    I have made sure that Cached Exchange Mode is off, I have also deleted and recreated her mail profile.  She can delete or move other messages with and without attachments just fine.
    Has anyone ever seen anything like this?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    The workaround is to use Cached Exchange Mode or "Shift + Delete", as the user doesn't want to delete the message permanently, using Cached Exchange Mode is preferred.
    Based on my research, this issue is more Exchange 2010 related, and you mentioned the user also got the error from Outlook Web Access. This issue occurs after Exchange 2010 Service Pack 2 RU6 or Exchange 2010 Service Pack 3 is installed.
    To resolve this issue, install the following update rollup:
    2803727 Description of Update Rollup 1 for Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 3
    I hope the information is helpful.
