I cannot move E-mails to trash on my Iphone 4, I had no poblem up until now?

Iphone 4 Up until recently had no problem, now I cannot move E-mails to trash. Technical ignorant, what do I do?

Hey beanbob,
Thanks for the question. The following resource should assist you in troubleshooting moving emails to the Trash on an iOS device:
Get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899
"Unable to move message"
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar. Then tap your email.
Tap Account.
Tap Advanced.
Tap Deleted Mailbox and make sure it's set to Trash.
Tap Advanced > Account. Then tap Done.
If you see the issue again, repeat steps 1 through 3, tap IMAP Path Prefix, then Inbox. After you make your changes, tap Account, then Done.
Thanks,
Matt M.

When I try to move an email to trash, I get a pop up window saying it cannot move the email to trash, however; it does delete the email. How can I stop the message pop-up?

When I try to move an email to trash on my new Iphone 5, a get a pop up window saying it cannot move the mail to trash. Any ideas how to get rid of the pop up window??

I usually get that message when I have low/weak cellular/wifi signal.

Why does Mail say that I cannot move items to the trash????

I cannot delete email the "normal" way. When I set up my POP account, it created a second trash folder with the same name as my mail account. There are thus two folders in my Trash can - "On My Mac" and the one named after my email account. When I try to delete any mail it says that I cannot move anything to the Trash folder for my Mail account. I have to DRAG all email I wish to delete to the "On My Mac" Trash folder. ????????
I just want to be able to click delete and have email go away! Why is this not working?
Thanks.

Select the mailbox you wish to correct, then select "Mailbox > Rebuild"
Then do a PRAM reset:
PRAM RESET
Zap the PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Whenever i try and delete mail, i get a message that I cannot move that message to trash??? any help?

whenever i try and delete mail, i get a message that I cannot move that message to trash??? any help?

In my (father's) case, inside the
Library/Mail/POP-username@serveraddress ,
there was a "folder" named "Deleted Messages". The icon was also a standard folder icon.
Just by renaming it to "Deleted Messages.mbox",
the icon was changed to a document tray icon,
and deleting messages started working.

Cannot move any files into trash to delete them. I get a Trash warning box saying "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in 'file name' could not be read or written.(Error code - 36)".Macbook has so much data it is almost not working

I have tried reseting to factory settings by removing battery and holding down the power switch for more than 5 sec but this does nothing.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I think with so much unwanted data on the desktop and other places the whole os will crash very soon.
Thanks, Rick

The hard drive may be dying anyway, or the directory damaged because it is so full. You should never let the hard drive get over 85% full.
A -36 error is a read/write error.
All you did with the power is reset the SMC. Does nothing to reset everything to factory settings.
Do you have your original 10.4 installer discs for the MacBook?
Is your data backed up?

Mail gave error message, failure to move e-mail to trash can. Mail has frozen and will not quit and is stopping a machine shutdown. Problem persisted even after power was trend off for a minute.

Mail to Trash on an iPhone 4

I use three Mail addresses on my iPhone4 and all three have identical basic and `advanced´ settings. But one of these addresses cannot remove incoming mail to `Trash´. A flag sometimes appears stating that it cannot move the mail, which I then lose entirely. I have tried deleting the address and then re-creating it, but this hasn´t solved the problem.
(a) Why is this one address behaving differently to the others?
(b) How can I bring it to accept and keep trash?
I´d be grateful for your help.
Patrick

Ocean20, it says:
ON MY PHONE - Trash: Yes
ON THE SERVER - none of the entries are marked.
This is the same as for the other two adresses with which the Trash works - but for this one address, it doesn´t.
Thanks for answering!

Cannot move files to the trash bin

Hello,
I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and have since also changed the administrator on our MacBook Pro. My account (formerly the admin) can no longer move files to the trash bin. My wife's account (now admin) has no problem doing so. When I try dragging a file to the trash I get "Finder wants to make changes, type the administrator's name and password to allow this."
Not something I wan't to be doing every time. Please help.
Thanks,
the RouleauFamily

Thanks for your reply. The permissions looked fine.
Here is the fix I found at http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/trash.html which worked:
If the affected account is:
Then type the Terminal command:
Your Admin account:
sudo rm -ri ~/.Trash
Another user account:
sudo rm -ri /Users/user_name/.Trashwhere user_name is the short name of the affected account.
Warmly,
Olivier

Cannot permanently delete mails from trash in gmail account

When emails are deleted using default Mac OS X Mavericks mail.app, they move to the trash folder as expected and when I delete them from the trash folder, they dissapear as supposed. Unfortunatelly, after logging in to the gmail web-based version, the emails are still visible in trash folder. They are sort of hidden, because they are visible only in web-based version, not in any smtp client. Interesting is, that iPhone mail app deletes the mails correctly. This issue was tested on 3 computers (iMac 27" i5 late 2010, Macbook Pro Retina 15" i7 early 2013, Macbook Pro Retina 13" i5 late 2013), 3 user accounts, and 3 gmail accounts. Do you have any suggestions?

Okay, that solved it, except that I had to input rm -rf ~/.Trash/*
and NOT "Trashes." It accepted your version of the command, but it didn't do anything discernible. I noticed that entering Trashe and trying to press tab to autocomplete didn't work, suggesting that maybe Trashes doesn't exist. However, trying to autocomplete with fewer letters typed indicated to me that Trash DOES exist, and so I went ahead with that and it worked.

HT4519 Unable to move deleted mail to trash on ipad

For the last month I have not been able to fully delete all messages and I get a warning message that I am unable to o
Move message to trash
Only on ipad

There are a few things to try.
First try turning the account off and on : 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 fix it then try closing the Mail app via the taskbar : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, 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.
A third option is a soft-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.
And another things to try is to go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Then select the account on the right-hand side of that screen, select Account, then Advanced, Deleted Mailbox, and under On The Server tap the 'Trash' folder so that it gets a tick against it - then come out of that series of popups by tapping on the relevant buttons at the top of them and then see if you can delete emails.

Cannot move e-mails with attachments in Outlook 2013

Hi all,
I've got an Exchange 2010 server, to which users connect using Outlook 2013. Moving items from the Inbox to a subfolder of the Inbox works fine. But, when an e-mail is moved which contains an attachment, it suddenly results in an error message:
Can't move the items. The item could not be moved. It was either already moved or deleted, or access was denied.
This is the case for all accounts, even domain admins.
According to Microsoft in KB924254 a possible cause might be a slow drive. However, this is absolutely not the case, given the fact that the Exchange server has 5 Solid State Disks.
Thanks!

Hi,
Based on your description, users can move messages that don’t contain attachments to any other folders without any problem( not only subfolder of the Inbox ), and there is problem to move messages that contains attachment to whatever folders, right?
Please check this issue in OWA.
Please use the 'Move' operation from the context menu of the item to check this issue in Outlook.
Please switch to a PC not joined your domain to check this issue.
Best Regards.
