Httmpmail messed up Mail. Deleted messages stay in inbox now.

Alright, I already had Daniel Parnell's httpmail hotmail plugin installed. I saw he had a newer version and downloaded and installed accordingly. Then when I opened Mail, I saw that all my messages for the past two days were gone. Also, when I delete a message from my inbox in Mail, it greys out but still stays there, not moving to Trash.
I went into library>mail>bundles and deleted the httpmail plugin and restarted Mail but still have the same problem. I dont care about the stupid plugin now, I just want my messages back and want my Mail program to operate correctly again.
What can I do to fix this?

Try rebuilding your Mail index like this:
1. Quit Mail if it's running.
2. Go to ~/Library/Mail and delete the Envelope Index file(s).
3. Restart Mail and wait for it to import your existing mail. When that's done, everything should be back to normal.

  • Apple Mail delets messages on the Server POP3

    Apple Mail delets messages on the Server Method: POP3. I use the preference to delete message if they where transfered out of the incoming box.
    Since 10.6 this seems not longer to work, what is going wrong?
    System: 10.6.4

    Hi there. This feature should work, as I have 10.6.4 and use it personally. Note that once a message is deleted from POP mail cannot put it back, so this setting once checked only applies to new messages.
    Make sure you look at the options about removing the message from the server when it's removed from the trash or after xx days.
    If these are set correctly, you may find luck in unchecking the box for leaving the messages on the server and then rechecking it.
    Lastly, you could try deleting the mail account and recreating it.

  • For some reason, I cannot delete messages from my Inbox.  How do I correct this?

    I am unable to delete messages from my Inbox on my MAC.  What can I do to correct this?

    Patrick
    Thanks for the instructions.  I got as far as Disk Utility, then hit Verify but couldn't find Repair Disk, the Mail icon was there but couldn't click on it.
    Someone else suggested I hit the control button then delete which did work.  Perhaps it was a combination of closing out of Mail and hitting the Control button/delete that helped?  Weird............
    thanks again,

  • Apple Mail - Delete Messages Come Back

    User is saying they delete messages and then they re-appear as new in their inbox.

    Hello, is it OP or IMAP?
    In Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Mailbox behavior tab, what are the settings there?
    it seems that it's not deleting from the Server, just locally.
    Might be some messed up files.
    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup),  it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.
    If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...

  • Mail: Delete message on server when I delete it in Mail

    Dear all,
    I just recently switched from Windows to Mac and especially from MS Outlook to Mail. In Outlook I can tell it to only delete a message on the server when I delete it in Outlook. This is very helpful, so that when I use WebMail I do not see all the junk mail messages and other emails I deleted. Now in Mail I do not seem to be able to do this. Any ideas ?
    Thanks,

    Go to Preferences, Accounts. Select the account you wish to configure. Click the Advanced Pane. Make sure the checkbox is checked for 'Remove copy from server after retrieving a message'. In the drop down just below that, choose 'When moved from Inbox'. This will let you retrieve a copy of the messages to your Mac, leaving a copy on the server. As long as you leave the message in your Inbox, the copy will stay on the server. If you then delete your local copy, or move it out of the Inbox, the next time you retrieve new messages from the server, the messages you have moved will be deleted from the server. The key is that there has to be at least one new message to retrieve. This works for me most of the time, since by the time I process the messages I already have, and then check for new messages, there usually are new messages. If you have a mail account that is not that active, or you just want to remove the most recent messages from the server, use the Get Info method above.

  • Mail deleting messages daily instead of using Mailbox Behavior to keep on server for 1 Month

    I have a Mailbox Behavior for Trash set to:
    Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox
    Store deleted message on the server
    Permanently erase messages when: One month old.
    But it is not respecting the latter. The messages are deleted daily. I think this is a recent (Mavericks) gift.
    Anyone having the same problem? Any solutions out there?
    Thanks.

    POP accounts will only give you control to server settings at the inbox. If you never remove it from the server, it will download all messages when you log into your account from another computer. This could be a problem with thousands of messages left on a server.
    For IMAP, your inbox will atuomatically sync to the IMAP inbox, so what you do in Mail or Webmail will reflect the change at the other.
    For the other mailboxes, storing messages on the server in Mail settings basically syncs the IMAP and local mailboxes like the inbox does. So, if you trash a sent message in Mail, it will trash it at the IMAP site.
    If they are left in those mailboxes, then the server setting in Mail will control how long the remain in those mailboxes unless you move them or delete them manually.
    If not set to store on the server, the local mailbox will not sync with the IMAP. So, deleting a sent message from the local sent mailbox will not delete the sent message in the IMAP sent mailbox.
    Some accounts like GMail have settings at their site that will let you further control how mail is handled.
    You can make settings to archive messages automatically when deleted from the inbox or sent folder. I believe that is the default setting in GMail. That would be what you want to save all your mail.  That would keep your inbox and sent mailboxes clean. Look at your IMAP site to see what settings you can make there.
    In GMail, the "all mail" is just a reflection of all messages kept and archived. You have no settings control of this mailbox on your mac in Mail. But, you can view the "all mail" under the IMAP folder in Mail.
    You can still set up a smart mailbox on your mac in mail to show the messages in the "all mail" mailbox that are greater than a year old. Only those would show up in that smart mailbox and you can just select all and delete without having to visually look at all the messages in the IMAP "all mail".

  • Deleted messages returned to inbox after keying command shift L incorrectly

    I was in the process of flagging a message and for learning purposes attempted to do it with the keystroke combination rather than simply selecting the acton. silly me! The combination of flagging a message is command shift L but instead of using the shift key I used the page up or arrow up key. suddenly a bunch of messages that had been deleted returned in a grayed out state. I tried re-deleting them, selecting specfic inbox folders for example. I had some success but not all will go away. and now I just labeled a new message as junk and the message goes to the junk folder but a grayed out message with a flag symbol stays in the inbox and won't go away. What did I do when I messed up that key combination? I looked at some of the other related issues on this discussion. I did some research into the preferences and into whether or not there are the correct deleted messages folders in the pop account folders. I found some inconsistancies but since I've never been to those folders before I don't know if things were any different before my keystroke mistake. I just want to go back to the default situation that I had set up before this booboo. I had created 3 pop accounts and I may have had some preferences on the deleted items folders, but essentially deleted messges were going to the trash and I think they were in the trash. I probably hadn't been emptying the trash. Weird, on my PC when i deleted a message it was gone. with Mac they seem to be in a trash folder which must then be emptied. interesting. (I am very new to Macs)

    > Cutting the messages seems to disappear them for now...
    but I don't trust where they are going.
    What do you mean? They don’t go anywhere (well, they go to a temporary storage area so that you can paste them). That’s precisely why it works.
    I want to understand why the delete button doesn't function as it should.
    Probably because there is something wrong with the messages themselves that prevents Mail from being able to handle them properly in general and from moving them to any other mailbox in particular. If Edit > Cut didn’t work (and sometimes it doesn’t), you’d have to manually get rid of the associated *.emlx files and re-create the index afterwards.

  • My Iphone is deleting messages from my inbox once I open them on my laptop in microsoft outlook. How do I stop this?

    Im not a techno person at all... so Im really struggling with my iphone at the moment. I have two mail inboxes, one for my hotmail and one for my work email. The hotmail one works fine. The other is a pain in the butt. Once I receive an email in the work inbox on my iphone I can see it, but the second I go to my laptop and open it in microsoft outlook it gets deleted from my iphone inbox.
    Anyone know how to fix this so it stays on my phone?

    Your other account has to be changed to an IMAP type, like Hotmail.  POP type accounts are not designed for multiple clients.

  • Deleted email stays in Inbox

    I have deleted an email but it will not remove from the "From" column. It has changed color from black to manila but I cannot get rid of it in the Inbox.

    Try rebuilding the mailbox -
    click on the inbox in the list on the left
    In the Mailbox menu - choose Rebuild
    The other possibility is that you are using IMAP email which will change the color of a deleted message to show that the next time Mail syncs with the server that message will be deleted.

  • Deleted messages remain in inbox

    This morning I received four email messages from the same person. One appeared in my inbox 3 times, the other 3 appeared 9 times. When I deleted them the content disappeared but the subject and sender's name etc remained in my inbox list. After deleting they went a grey colour, but then they reverted to black. I tried sending them to the junk folder, but they remained in the inbox list shaded light brown, and didn't appear in the junk folder. I tried moving them to another mailbox, but they didn't move. I went to my Mail folder but I can't find them anywhere there. The header on my inbox tells me I have 114 messages, which includes the 30 in question.
    All other messages appear to be acting normally. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I have the same problem – my Mac was part-way through downloading an email from eBay into my POP account when the power went off. Now the message is stuck in my Inbox, when I click delete it turns grey but doesn’t disappear and is back to being black next time I go into Mail. Show Deleted Messages is not checked in the View menu. The file for this message is not visible in my user Library – Mail – Inbox folder. The body of the mail is blank.
    Anyone any ideas? The message has obviously got corrupted on the way in due to the power out, but how can I get rid of it? It’s really annoying!
    Thanks.

  • HT5767 My mail all of a sudden would not allow me to delete messages in my inbox saying, "couldn't be copied to "Messages" because an item with the same name already exists." Found it duplicates the message I wanted deleted in trash.

    Still  using the @mac.com   mail  address and up   to date on everything, but have not gone to Maverick.  All of a sudden Mail wouldn't let me delete.  Said that title of email was already in trash.  And sure enough it was.  Clicking on the help button on the message gets Nothing.
    The selected topic is currently unavailable.
    The topic you were trying to view could not be found.
    "couldn’t be copied to “Messages” because an item with the same name already exists."
    Any ideas.  My mail is not tied to gmail etc.. just all by it's lonesome.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Mail - deleteing messages

    When I delete mail messages - it appears to delete them okay , but comes up with an alert " Cannot move message "
    What does this mean and what should I do to stop this ?

    Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Your Account > Account Name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and enter your email account and password and see if things work.

  • Will Mail delete messages in my online Gmail account?

    I have recently set up Mail on my Mac and have it sync'd to get messages from my Gmail account. I am new to this and I haven't tried this before now and Mail has imported over 300 messages from my account! My question is: If I delete these messages, will they be deleted from my mail account when I check them online? I would like to be able to just check my mail quickly rather than logging in every time in Safari...
    Thanks for all your help on this!

    Crap! Now, THAT's just perfect! >=[ I didn't want my messages to leave my folders on my Gmail account online! I checked it just now. =[ How can I get them back??
    **Thanks for your tip. I un-checked that box so that it doesn't remove a copy from the server...**
