I cannot erase e-mail messages I have read

We have a new iPad2. My wife enjoys reading and sending e-mails using the Mail app. However for some reason she cannot erase any of the messages she receives. The error message is that the message cannot be placed in the Trash Basket. What are we doing wrong?

Try
settings
mail and contacts
the e-mail account in question
advanced
and then look to see what the settings for deleted messages is. When it is to be removed.
If all those settings are to allow you to delete from the iPad then there may be something with your e-mail provider and what they allow/dont' allow. I know my yahoo and my hotmail both act differently so there may be settings with the e-mail provider itself keeping you from deleting the messages

How do I retrieve an erased voice mail message?

How do I retrieve an erased voice mail message?

If you accidentally erase a voice mail message, DO NOT HANG UP. Continue to listen to the rest of your messages and save or erase as needed. At the end of the messages, I hope you hear a voice prompt that says, "To check erased messages, dial 19." I did this and the erased message played again and this time I saved it! I do not know if this will work when you hang up and call back. Hope this works for others.

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.

How can you close an email after reading without either deleting it or saving it somewhere? I use AOL and it just goes to "old mail" after you have read the email.

How can you close an email in Apple iPad after reading it without deleting it. I use AOL and in their application it just goes to "old mail" after you have read it. In Apple's email it stays open. Very annoying.

You cannot actually close an email in the mail app on the iPad. You can tap on the drafts folder or any empty folder that you migh have when you are done reading the email and then the blank white window will appear in the mail app.
The mail app will always show emails otherwise. That is just the way that it works currently on the iPad.

I got the message, "Photos have read-only access."

I got the message, "Photos have read-only access," when trying to save the metadata into a DNG file. I'm on windows 7, and just upgraded to Lightroom 5. The files in Windows have full write and read ability. What am I doing wrong? Or what box do I need to check or uncheck to be able to save my metadata into the DNG files. My catalogue is on an internal drive. The actual images are on an external drive.

Okay, got it. I'm a bit confused why I had to this, but I did and it worked.Here is the solution.
1. Go to my computer.
2. Right click on the hard drive and select properties
3. In the properties window, select the security tab
4. Then click the edit button
This is where it is weird. I'm logged in as an adminstrator, and the administrator account has allows all permissions (except special permission). You would think that since I'm working as in administrator mode, I could write into files. I can't.
So, I checked the user account (same name as my admin account). Here the follwong boxes were not checked.
1. Full control
2. Modify
3. Write
I made sure all three of those were checked and now I can write metadata into the DNG files.

MacMail cannot erase individual mails in a conversation

There are several mails in a converstation
I tried to erase individual mails by clicking either the trash icon in the menu or the trash icon that is in the mail when you point at it
None of them works. All I can do is to delete the whole conversation

Hi Bomiboll,
Yes it can be puzzling when seemingly unrelated emails get linked into a conversation. This happens when someone replies via an old subject instead of starting a new subject. I get round that by deliberately typing a new subject header in my reply. That doesn't always work; sometimes a lazy person uses an old, unrelated email just because they can't be bothered to look up my email address. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.
I handle my emails by selecting and copying the main points, then pasting into a word processing document. I name that document with something sensible, and save it into a relevant folder. If it is part of a conversation, I add it to a previous document. Then I delete the email.
In that way, I can empty my Mail Trash without a worry.
I don't use Mac Mail as my filing system.
Have a look at this and then browse from there:

Ian.

Cannot SAVE Apple Mail Messages

Until recently I was able to SAVE Apple Mail messages as rtf files. I can no longer do this. Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone have a solution?
Thanks.
Mary

Hi Mary,
That just started happening to me as well. I came to the forums to see if there was an answer. For the time being a temporary solution is to drag the mail from a mailbox to the desktop where it copies it to an .eml file which includes all attachments etc.
I'm on a Mac Pro 10.5.6 and use Mobile Me to sync an iPod Touch, MacBook Pro and my Mac Pro. I'm mentioning that because I wonder if this might be some snafu with Mobile Me?

Cannot erase junk mail

The option "Erase Junk Mail..." is disabled ever since I upgraded to Leopard. How can I re-enable it?

can you select the specific junk mailboxes, one at a time, and then go to mailbox>rebuild, and see if that clears up the issue.
hope this helps

Mail in Mavericks is not downloading mail messages if I read them in iOS mail app. Why?

More info:
The accounts in question are domains hosted by Google. Needless to say this is frustrating as in some cases I have to download the attachments in those messages, I have to forward the emails to another account in order to see them.
I have a feeling if a message is marked read the mail application does not bother to grab them. This is a different behaviour than before prior to the update. I'd appreciate any solutions.
Thanks in advance.

I got the message, "Photos have read-only access."-Macintosh

I've read this post, http://forums.adobe.com/message/5516195#5516195, but am having the same issues on a Macintosh (LR 5, 10.8.4) with random images.
The folders all have read/write access and the images contained have the same. I'm logged in as admin, and have full permission.
The images reside on an external HDD connected to an Airport Extreme BaseStation, on a Macintosh formated (Journaled) HDD
-Y = Metadata is written successfully
-N = Photos have read-only access
Folder01
-Image01-Y
-Image02-N
-Image03-Y
-Image04-Y
Folder02
-Image01a-N
-Image02a-Y
-Image03a-Y
-Image04a-N
If I modify the images in Preview, and save, and then go back to LR and save the LR changes "stick".
I've even gone to the parent folder (Folder01, Folder02) and set permsisions to 777 (using PathFinder 6), and applied to all enclosed items, and it still won't change them. I'm looking at the same images in Finder and the permissions are read/write for all users and the images are not "locked".

Okay, got it. I'm a bit confused why I had to this, but I did and it worked.Here is the solution.

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.

TS3276 I suddenly cannot send e-mail messages. It takes hours to send. I haven't changed any settings.

My mail does not let me send messages. It can take hours for it to be sent. I have not changed any settings, it just suddenly started yesterday.

Hi there Bahtat67,
If I understand correctly you can send mail without issue, but you cannot receive new email. I would recommend you use these steps specifically from the following article, named:
Get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Restart your iOS device.
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the affected email account.
Tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling
