I can't delete e-mail from Apple's native mail app.  I am using Gmail.

I cannot delete mail from Apple's native mail app.  I can do this in Gmail; but when I switch to the native app, it does not work.

Hello ike39
For issues with Mail, check out the first article below for general troubleshooting steps to get it working again. Also, is it archiving emails instead of deleting? Check out the second article to see if that is set properly.

    Depending on what you are using the AppleId for specifically, you will need to open the setting s app and sign out of his and sign inwith your own in the following areas:
    iCloud
    Mail,Contacts,Calendars
    FaceTime
    iTunes and App Store
    Music (only for Home sharing)

  • Can't delete email messages from some folders in Mail

    I CAN delete email messages from header Folder "MAILBOXES" (drafts, sent, trash); however, there's another folder header below called "ON MY MAC", where I save various emails by dragging them to a subfolder, and when I try to delete these, I get this message:
    "The message '(subject of email)' could not be moved to the mailbox 'Deleted Messages --- On My Mac' The destination mailbox 'Deleted Messages --- On My Mac' does not allow messages to be moved to it."
    The only way to delete from this folder is to hold Control, select from the dropdown Move to, then Trash, and then one of three sub-trash folders (the one that has my email address) -- this is a pain to do.
    Mail is just not working properly any more (I just added 2 other posts - one about crashing, another about all my Fonts missing)
    thank you in advance!

    Colin,
    Have you checked Mail>Window>Previous Recipients for the old address? If not, attempt to "Remove From List" at that location and let us know what happens.

  • Mail from Apple wipes out mail program? Possible Virus?

    Howdy
    This morning, while my wife was reading her email, she received, via the mail program in her Macbook Pro, an popup from Apple, telling her about upgrades in the Apple Mail Program. She clicked on the popup, read the info, decided there was nothing new, clicked out, and all of her email was gone.
    I have been looking around her computer-her account info has been deleted, and another account, with her name but a @me tag substituted.
    Also, I checked the mail folder in her library, and they are blank.
    Any thoughts, help, will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Mail under Lion is 5.1
    I do not know of any upgrade since Lion.
    Please gieve us some more info about the message and your (yours wife sytem).
    You can try to look into the basket to see if the content of the Mail folder is there.
    Can you enter her Mail server (iCloud or MM or amithing different from Apple) and see if messages are There ?
    Probably you find some.
    What do you mean by "tag" in @me substituted (surry for my english).

    You are not addressing Apple here. We are all just users like yourself. It's not a good idea to post your private email on a public forum.

    You didn't see this bit?
    "Your content won't be deleted from iCloud when you erase your device."
    You only lose iCloud data from other devices if you manually delete the data. If you Erase all content and data, you keep iCloud data elsewhere.

    When I set up my iPhone, I accidentally put in an apple ID that doesn't exist. Therefor, I don't know the password and can't delete my account from iCloud. I was trying to sync my contacts to my iPad and now it's not possible without iCloud on my phone. Can anybody help?

    Have you tried changing the admin password in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Password   ??
    The Apple ID that is associated with your admin password is noted there.

  • I have purchased a new iMac, with Safari 5.0.5, but it won't retain bookmarks, I thought I can download a new Safari from Apple. So I deleted Safari from the application folder.

    I have purchased a new iMac, with Safari 5.0.5, but it won't retain bookmarks, I thought I can download a new Safari from Apple. So I deleted Safari from the application folder.
    Then I tried to download Safari from Firefox but after finish download, what I got was a dmg file, with a pkg icon (an opened box) and it can't be installed. Same with Google Chrome.
    My question is: how can I download Safari? And will it retain bookmarks?

    Reinstall Safari from the Optional Installs.pkg on your Mac install disc that came with your iMac. Or in your case, you use Pacifist to extract the Safari app from the .dmg file.
    To bookmark a webpage:
    Go to the webpage you want to bookmark. If you use tabs, you can open multiple webpages in tabs to bookmark them as a collection.
    Choose Bookmarks > Add Bookmark, or Bookmarks > “Add Bookmarks for These Tabs.”
    Type a name for the bookmark or collection in the dialog that appears.
    Specify where you want to keep the bookmark or collection. You can add it to the bookmarks bar, the Bookmarks menu, or to a collection if you have created any.
    Click Add.
    To add a bookmark quickly, click the Add button in the toolbar, or drag the webpage’s icon from the address field to the bookmarks bar.
    To see your bookmarks, choose Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks.
    In the future, rather then deleting an app, come here and ask for help first. More times then not, you will save yourself time and trouble.

  • Can't delete certain emails from Mail.  Instead, I get the message "An error occurred while moving messages to the mailbox, etc."

    Can't delete certain emails from Mail.  Instead, I get the message "An error occurred while moving messages to the mailbox, etc."  The problem appears randomly.

    I had the same problem, and it was solved by going to the Mailbox menu and selecting "rebuild."

  • How can I export email addresses from apple mail?

    How can I export email addresses from Apple Mail?
    Just to be CRISTAL CLEAR please don't reply with export instructions from the address book.....not interested in this.
    I have customers that fill-out a request form online, then the data is sent to our database on our server, and another copy is sent to my email account. The server database got corrupted and is now lost. The only data left are in my email app called APPLE MAIL. I have created Filtered Folders so the data is just in one Folder, not mixed with all other emails. Is there a way to export the email names & addresses from APPLE  MAIL to a CVS file or Excel file?
    Again this is not a question related to Apple Address Book. This is ONLY for Apple MAIL exporting!
    Thanks

    There is a collection of AppleScripts called Mail Scripts you can download at this link.
    http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
    The script to use from the collection of scripts is Add Addresses (Mail) which adds addresses found in the selected messages (in the header fields "From", "To", "Cc", and "Bcc") to the Address Book. This is much more flexible than the "Add Sender to Address Book" available in Mail and provides a convenient way for creating mailing lists.

  • Suddenly can not access .mac mail from Apple Mail

    Suddenly, I can not access .mac mail from Apple Mail (Version 2.1.1 (752.3)).
    For quite a few years I have been using Apple Mail to access my .mac email. As of last Friday, Mail stopped working. Nothing has changed (accept for the installation of the latest OS X security upgrade - SecUpd2006-008Univ.pkg).
    I can still access my .mac mail through the .mac web browser and I can still access it through SnapperMail on my Palm Treo 680. But, when I open Apple Mail on my MacBook, it does not do anything, just sits there. When I open the Activity Viewer window, 3 activities are going on:
    1. Opening Mailbox
    2. Synchronizing with Server (Connecting to...)
    3. Synchronizing with Server (Synchronizing with...)
    After a few minutes, the error triangle appears next to the Inbox and .Mac logos on the left hand panel.
    I have tried Apple Mail from several locations (different ISP / WiFi / LAN) over several days but get the same problem.
    Does anyone have ideas for a solution?
    Regards
    Peter

    Let’s first make sure that the update is installed properly, and post back with your observations when done.
    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the update that appears to not have been installed properly. You may also need to reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with your computer:
    About the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update
    Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for PPC
    Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for Intel
    Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
    Troubleshooting installation and software updates
    Installing software updates
    Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

  • Problems with my Apple id since 2 weeks: i received for 3 times a mail from Apple who said: you're password was reseted but i didn't asked for reset. So i have to re-change my password again. How can i be sure my account is not hackd

    hi everyone,
    since 2 weeks: i received for 3 times a mail from Apple who said: "you're password was reseted..." but i didn't asked for reset. So i have to re-change my password again. How can i be sure my account is not hacked ?
    Best regards.

    I'll add my problem to this list as it sounds similar. First a little background. This is a problem I think we will see from a lot of long term users, so here is my story. When .Mac was first made available I signed up and was given a new apple ID [email protected] At this point I already had an Apple ID that I was using for just music purposes (apps didnt't exist yet) but was told by apple I would have to give it up. They could not merge IDs and would not change them. The end result was getting a new Apple ID and having to redownload all my purchased music over P2P or burn it and  re-rip to remove the DRM. Fast forward a bit to a time when Gmail is getting bigger. I'm invited to try it out and I decide that I'm going to stop paying $100 for email, as I never really used he other features iDisk, photo sharing etc, and syncing contacts, calendars and mail was just as easy through gmail. Now years later we have iCloud. I have to sign in with my outdated .mac ID, at this point I have for too many apps/music/shows to drop that ID. When I sign in with that .mac Apple ID I get the automated iCloud message telling me my new email address is [email protected] However when I go to send email from my iCloud account it is using .mac as the sending address and the mail will not go through. I can't change it in the mail app or in settings. I'm kind of at a loss as to where to go next. I'm stuck with a defunct email address as a username that is more or less a key to thousands of dollars worth of content, and a new email address that won't function and nobody at Apple can press the right buttons to help clean it up. Some kind of system should be in place to change a user ID. Maybe once a year or once every other year. **** at this point I would even pay a one time fee just for my user name to be rid of that old .mac extension.
