Correct. You are supposed to select the specific account you want to edit.
What email account is this? Who is the email provder? gmail, Comcast, AOL?

Close the mail app. Then double tap on the home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar. Swipe upwards on the mail app. Reset the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. Once the phone reboots, try opening mail and see if this returns.

Cannot delete 1 mail message on iPad

Cannot delete 1 mail message on iPad. Looks corrupted.

You could try deleting it by logging into your account on a browser. Otherwise try turning the account off and on and see if you can then delete it : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely and try again when you re-open Mail : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Mail – cannot delete e-mails from draft box!

Hi,
I have had this problem for a while, and cannot find the solution anywhere. I hope someone knows.
"Mail" doesn't let me delete e-mails from the draft box! It looks like I delete them, and they disappear, but next time I check they are there again. The only way to get rid of "a draft e-mail" is to actually finish it and then "send" it. But, of course, many e-mails are better off in the trash bin.
It has been like this for some time now, so restarting Mail and/or the computer is apparently not the solution.
Please help out, my draft box has become huge!

Hi, same problem here! Please, help us!

Cannot delete voice mails

CAN'T DELETE VOICE MAILS!!
When I try to delete them online, I'm told the "mail box is in use" (it isn't) and to call the support#. They tell me to try deleting them via the phone. That tells me "your records aren't available".
This is really annoying-can anyone advise how to fix this "black hole"?

So you can see them online, play them but not delete them? or you can't play them either?
And when you call into the voicemail number - are you saying you can't access your voicemail at all?
if you can't access over the phone, then that will be the first thing you want to fix, so use the following two links.
Get Voice Mail Access Number
Reset Voice Mail Passcode

Cannot delete read mail. Keep getting the following message "926540.emlx" couldn't be copied to "Messages" because an item with the same name already exists.

I am trying to free up room on my hard drive but keep getting the following message. “926540.emlx” couldn’t be copied to “Messages” because an item with the same name already exists. 926540.emix is the number given to the email I want to delete. This message appears (with a different .emix number) when I try to delete any mail. I have junk mail from 2014 to 2009 that I want to delete

Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox. Try again to delete the message.

N73 defect: cannot delete e-mail messages

I've noticed a defect in the N73 which I'm able to reproduce reliably. The steps are as follows:
- Set up a POP3 account with standard settings (specifically, in Retrieval Settings, specify "E-mail to retrieve: Headers only")
- Connect to a POP3 e-mail account containing new messages. New message headers are downloaded.
- Select a message and choose Options > Delete (or press the C key)
- Choose either "Phone and server" or "Phone only"
At this point the Messaging applications closes. There's no error message: it just disappears and you're back to the standby screen. When you start the app again the e-mail has not been deleted.
This is happening on an N73 shipped in the UK, 3G version (with 2 cameras - I believe there's a 1-camera 2.5G version too?). Firmware information is:
V 2.0628.0.0.1
10-07-2006
RM-133
Nokia N73 (39.01)
I'd be very glad of some feedback if this is fixed in a future ROM version so I can get it upgraded. Otherwise, I have to say, a superb phone. :-)

It's not a problem with the (missing?)instructions from the manual.
I've already complained at Nokia and they've sent me a
formal mail with instructions how to do it
(and be assured: they were like you would expect it to be!).
After sending them a more detailed description on how to
reproduce the problem they stopped communication.
(So much for the good service!)
But this phone and the current firmware just cannot
handle email correctly.
The only way how I'm currently working around the problem:
1. Opening the mail
2. Deleting the (still opened) mail
3. Disconnecting from the mail account manually while still in the viewer; then email will get deleted.

Cannot delete e-mail message

Problem, there are 4 messages that cannot be deleted. When the messages are selected and the delete button clicked. The messages disappear from the inbox. When you click on the trash it is empty and returning to the inbox the messages are still there.
I tried manually deleting the messages from the User -> Library -> Mail -> Inbox. But on restarting mail the messages are still there.
Other messages can be deleted. But, if any of the 4 that can't be delete are hightlighted now other messages cannot be deleted.
The computer that is having these issues is a MacBook Pro, running 10.5.2 and Mail version 3.1.
Any thoughts or ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Deleting the messages manually from the User -> Library -> Mail -> Inbox and then restarting Mail and in Mail Rebuilding the Inbox solved the problem.

Cannot delete e-Mail message in lion without opening the message

To avoid span or just not bother opening an e-mal "BEFORE LION" all that had to be done was to hightlight the email and hit the delete button.
Now with LION when you hightlight the email message it immedately opens the message in the right side box.
There must be a way of avoiding that, I checked Preferences, mailbox and edit but could not see anything that would delete without opening the email message.
I hope they did not do away with this feature, it would be insane,
Greg

Thanks, that works, lets hope they do not do away with it.
While I hope you are right about it not opening in the preview in the new format until we get assurances from Apple I will leave it in the classic format.
Thanks again.
Also my wife hated the new format.
Did you notice the changed the Adress book format ?

Gmail - I cannot delete certain mail items

This is a fairly new problem. When I try to delete an item, it bounces back to Spam. When I delete from Spam it goes to Trash. When I delete from Trash, it goes back to Spam. The only way to finally delete it is to use google.com. Help this is driving me crazy! P.S. This is also happening on my iphone.

I cannot delete mail in Mavericks

Hello Apple (eees).
I cannot delete any mail in Mavericks!
If for instance I select the trash folder, select all and click delete the items disappear.
If I then click on the inbox (or any other mail folder) then click back on trash all the deleted messages have returned from the grave (maybe something to do with Halloween).
In addition the 'all mail' folder tells me I have over 2000 messages, I have less than 100!
If I do a rebuild the progress meter tells me it is receiving several thousand emails, none of which ever arrive
I am using brand new latest top spec MacBook Pro, mail service is virginmedia imap.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards to all,
Mark (UK)

iCloud email should automatically resume once you have sufficient storage again. I haven't seen any documentation on whether or not there's a delay before service resume though. If you want to get more information you would have to contact Apple support: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

When I access my google e-mail account on the I-pad my inbox has at least 6 e-mails with no sender and no subject (absent via I-phone, Mac or PC) I cannot delete them as they cannot be selected- how do I stop them and clear the ones there now?
