I cannot delete any emails

Greetings to all,
Some how I deleted my earthlink trash. I tried to set up a new trash to earthlink again but now when I try to delete an email it will not let me. It comes back and says...
"The destination mailbox "deleted Messages-Earthlink" does not allow messages to be moved to it."
Is there a way to reset my mail program without loosing my emails?
Thank you
Marco

I have several mailboxes for different POP mail accounts and I had one that would not let me delete messages ("move messages to the deleted folder"). What I discovered was the folder for deleted messages for that account no longer had the mbox extension. i.e. /Users/(your user name)/Library/Mail/(your account name)/Deleted Messages.
I added the mbox extension and now it behaves correctly.

I cannot delete any emails when i do they reappear

That is because Apple Mac Mail is set to not delete emails from the server so even though you delete them in Mail they are being redownloaded from your Mail service providers IMAP servers.

CANNOT SEND ANY EMAILS!!!!

Hi,
I finally downloaded the desktop manager last week and backed up my berry (after a year!). At the same time it updated my system to a newer version. Since then, my battery life is greatly diminished (one day only) and I cannot send ANY emails. I can send text messages, but not emails. I select "send" and the email just sits there. I also can't select "save draft". I can only select "delete", but then it warns me that I haven't saved (which is so annyoing, since I can't save!!) Help!!!!!

Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner:
With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescirbed for most gltiches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
Now try sending an email again. If still no lunck:
On your BlackBerry device, go to:
1. Options > Advanced > Host Routing Table > Menu > Register.
2. Resend your service books from your carrier BIS site:
From your handheld device:   http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15402
Go to the Personal Email Set Up icon and log in. Then under Help!, select Service Books, then select Send service Books.
From your desktop PC: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02830
North American Carriers - scroll down to select your carrier
WorldWide Carriers - Find your carrier on the list
3. With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot. This reboot, even if you have already done this, is often needed to install the service books.

I cannot delete any of my flagged mails that suddenly have jumped up to over 7k

My flagged mails have suddenly jumped up to 7k and now I cannot delete any of them.
They appear to delete and then return. This has only happened in the last 2 days ....
Any suggestions

Hi. shldr2thewheeel... I so appreciate the time you have taken to reply to my pleas for help. I think that I need to clarify my problem. But would you reread my previous message in the mean time...I may not be using the correct terminolgy for what I am trying to find out. AndI am sorry for that. This stuff is very confusing for me but I am trying.
I do not have any thing in the trash. I don't even know if I have a trash folder.
#1.I wanted to know if I could have somehow deleted the trash folder ? in my email site?
#2 If it is possible than would this be why I cannot get the messages in inbox to delete to the trash folder?
#3 When I try to delete anything on this computer I get the message on my screen..++++ telling me that whatever it is that I am trying to delete could not be moved to that mailbox because "Deleted messages -mail.comcast.net does not allow messages to moved to it+++++ Doesn't make sense to me and that is why I wanted to know if it was possible that I may have deleted the trash folder under the INBOX , SENT, DRAFTS, and then where the TRASH folder is suppose to be?
#4 Everytime I try to delete anything this message box shows up that tells me what is written in #3 between the +++++ ++++++
It is like there is no trash folder to delete anything to. It this possible that there is not a trash folder because I could have deleted the Trash folder??
Thank you so much for time and your help....

I cannot delete ANY apps after upgrading to ios 5-

After updated my software to ios 5 (iPhone 4, Verizon), I cannot delete any of the apps; it's like every single app is now a "native," acting just like all of the built in apps like phone, message, safari, etc. When I hold down on any one of them, they all start shaking, but no red x with the circle- there is no way to remove them...
I think that it is a bug in the software, because I updated my other iPhone 4 to ios 5, and I do not have any issues with this whatsoever...

I am having the exact same problem. When i go to update my existing apps - it asks me to type my password for my initial apple id (upon upgrade i needed to change it to the @soandso.com) but it wont take my password. When i try to download new applications it works - my new apple id comes up and everything works fine.
i tried restoring my phone, changing my settings, etc.
When i try to update in itunes it gives me a notification along the lines of "cannot update do to not holding majority of ..."
did you find a solution?
Very Frustrated...

I have 2 photo albums on my iPhone that i want to delete. One is called "Photo Library" the other is called "iPhonePics". I cannot delete any of the photos in either album. How do I delete the photos and/or the albums?

I have 2 photo albums on my iPhone that i want to delete. One is called "Photo Library" the other is called "iPhonePics". I cannot delete any of the photos in either album. How do I delete the photos and/or the albums?

You can uncheck multiple songs by selecting all the songs you want to uncheck, then right-click and choose "uncheck selection". Also, make sure that you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos" on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings or the sync process will ignore your selections.
You can remove all the photos from your camera roll using Preview on your Mac. Connect your phone to your Mac, open Preview, go to File>Import from iPhone. When your photos appear in Preview, select the photos you want to delete, then click on the icon at the bottom showing the red circle with the diagonal line through it (see image below), then click Delete.
To remove photos from the Photo Stream album on your phone you'll have to either reset Photo Stream (deleting all the photos from iCloud) or turn off Photo Stream on your phone.

Thx. That seems to have solved my problem. I don't know but just all of a sudden when I opened an emal there was no option at the bottom. After doing as you suggested, now all the options are back. Quite confusing to me. I do appreciate your suggestion and fix.

The preinstalled apps, those that came as part of the iOS, cannot be deleted and will not shake or provide the black circle-X for deletion.
Others should do that if you touch and hold for a few seconds.
If they are not, do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if that appears.

Cannot delete phantom email

My wife receive email on her iPhone with no subject. When she tapped it, she received another identical email. She cannot delete these emails. How do we delete them?

Try closing out the Mail app. Double click home button, press and hold an app until they jiggle, then hit the red button next to the Mail app.
Load back into it, and see if they are still there and if you can delete them.
If you can't delete inside the email try from the inbox. by hitting the Edit button in the upper right, then tapping the email and hitting the delete button.

I cant delete any emails on my iphone

I cant delete any emails on my iphone 4s "unable to move message.The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash" keeps coming up is it to do with the settings on the phone or the server?? Help

If you go to settings then to mailboxes go to the mailbox which is having the issue go to advanced then under mailbox behaviors go to deleted messages make sure that deleted messages is checked under the server not the iPhone that should fix your issue! It fixed mine! You do not have to reset anything or download anything.
