I cannot move mail to folders, even ones created with icloud

I tried the usual drag and drop. It looks like mail is cooperating. It shows mail moving as I drag it. But when I open that folder/mailbox (on icloud) message is not there.
I tried using the menu: highlight message, select move to, select mailbox/folder, click. Nothing happens.

here the same: the mails are moved but after revisiting the folder they are in their old place. Problem is only with mail.app, in iPhone Mail there´s no problem.

Cannot move items. Cannot move or copy folders...

I have the most baffling problem. This is with any version of Outlook. I'm logged into a terminal server as the user of this mailbox. Its inbox has many subfolders. One is a folder called "2014". At the same level
is a folder we'll call "Test". When I drag "Test" onto "2014" I get this entire message:
"Cannot move items. Cannot move or copy folders. Cannot move folder. A top-level folder cannot be moved to one of its sub-folders. Or, you may not have permissions for the folder."
Here's the thing... I've given ownership permission to the inbox folder and both subfolders in question. I still get this error. There are other people that share this mailbox and I've done the same thing with one of them; owner permission
to all subfolders and full access to the mailbox via exchange. No matter what permission I give to anyone, including the mailbox owner I'm logged in as, outlook refuses to move the folder. It's not a case of a top level folder being moved into
one of its subfolders. The actual owner of the mailbox has ownership permissions to everything yet I still get this error.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Edit: I can't even create a folder in the inbox. It just says "Cannot create the folder". I own everything to do with the folders.

Hi,
Please first check if you can reproduce this issue from OWA. If it works correctly in OWA, it means the issue is with Outlook side. We can try to create a new mail profile in Control Panel and then reconfigure the account in the new mail profile to see the
result.
If this issue continues in OWA, it could be caused by a permission synchronization problem. I'd recommend you post a new question in the Exchange forum to get further assistance:

Cannot move files into folders on desktop

Hi, I cannot move files into folders on desktop. They won't go in when I grab them and drag them to a folder.

Take these steps if the cursor changes from an arrow to a white "prohibited" symbol when you try to move an icon on the Desktop.
Sometimes the problem may be solved just by logging out or restarting the computer. Try that first, if you haven't already done it. Otherwise, continue.
Select the icon of your home folder (a house) in the sidebar of a Finder window and open it. The Desktop folder is one of the subfolders. Select it and open the Info window. In the General section of the window, the Kind will be either Folder or something else, such as Anything.
If the Kind is Folder, uncheck the box marked Locked. Close the Info window and test.
If the Kind is not Folder, make sure the Locked box is not checked and that you have Read & Write privileges in the Sharing & Permissions section. Then close the Info window and do as follows.
Back up all data before continuing.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo Desktop
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You should get a new line ending in a dollar sign ($). Quit Terminal.
Relaunch the Finder.
If the problem is now resolved, and if you use iPhoto, continue.
Quit iPhoto if it's running. Launch it while holding down the option key. It will prompt you to select a library. Choose the one you want to use (not the Desktop folder.)

Intermittent "Cannot move Mail to mailbox" Errors.

Has anyone else experienced intermittent "Cannot move Mail to mailbox" error messages?
I've done everything I can think of to track this problem down: packet sniffing, reviewing the IIS logs, looking at the event viewer to see if anything is dieing around the time of the request, switching from AT&T Edge (3G isn't reliable here) to WI-FI and back again, etc.
I have noticed while packet sniffing that when the error occurs there is a [RST, ACK] returned instead of [FIN, ACK].
This is an intermittent problem that has been plaguing us for a few weeks now.
Our setup includes: windows server 2008, IIS 7, and exchange 2007 with all patches and roll-ups applied.
Thanks in advance, and any advice is appreciated.

What argues FOR a server problem is that millions of users don't have the problem. I see it occasionally when the cell signal is very weak.
I had a problem a couple of months ago where the push stopped working. My SA looked at it and fixed it. This is not the same problem you have, but it could be related. Here is his explanation:
+We ran windows updates on Promail a weekend or so before this problem on the 28th. One of the updates was a DNS fix that expanded the dynamic port range dns is using. Problem was, in it’s infinite wisdom, MS allowed this range change to include 2883, the AUTD or active sync port. So we had to do a registry change to exclude the port for Active sync only. Here’s the KB article:+
+http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956189+
+Jason said that he recalled making this change before. But the updates on the weekend, must have reverted the registry change he did because the exception wasn’t there anymore.+

Cannot move mail to the mail trash

I cannot move mail to the mail trash without a message that says: 65530.emix couldn't be copied to 'messages'because an item with the same name already exists. The mail is transferred to the trash but still remains in the inbox.

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

27" i7 iMac (Mid 2011) refurb, OS X Yo (10.10), Mavs, ML & SL, G4 450 MP w/10.5 & 9.2.2

Early iMac (not Lion eligible), does my mobile me email address cease to work after June, 2012? Can one create an iCloud email address?

Cannot update to Lion on this early intel iMac. Now I find out I cannot move mail, contacts to iCloud. My question is, will my mobile me email address continue to work after June, 2012? Can one create an iCloud email address to use with iPhone and iPad?

If you own a iOS5 idevice like a ipod touch you are eligible to use icloud. This will preserve your current Email and Adress Book data after MobileMe dies next year.
Else you would need to purchase a Lion capable Mac or set up a Vista/Win7 PC with office2007/10 to use icloud.

Cannot synchronize "ON MY MAC" calendars in Ical with iCloud.

Cannot synchronize "ON MY MAC" calendars in Ical with iCloud. It works well from iCloud to Ical, and Ical to iCloud except for all the calendars in the "ON MY MAC" group.
Please help.

That's correct: both in MobileMe and iCloud you cannot 'sync' 'On My Mac' calendars. This is because there is no actual syncing in the literal sense: the calendars are held on the server, and read from there by iCal (think of it as being like webmail and it makes sense).
The only way to 'sync' an 'On My Mac' calendar is to move it to iCloud. This page is written for MobileMe but the principle is the same: please follow the first set of numbered instructions.

Nokia E72 - Cannot move mail from local "sent" fol...

I've recently received my E72.
The built-in mail application is missing one major function: It cannot automatically place sent mail in the "sent" folder on the IMAP-server, only in the LOCAL sent folder. Absolutely no options for changing this exists. If I try to move a message (Actions -> Move message) from the local sent folder to the IMAP sent folder, all I get in the maplisting for the destination folder is "(no data)". If I try to move a message from the inbox, I can see the full IMAP map listing, and move the message anywhere without a problem.
The only workaround is putting the sending account as bcc, and then move the message afterwards from the inbox to the IMAP sent folder. This is a really big hassle when you send a lot of mails.
I've tried to upgrade the phone software, remove the account and recreate it, rebooted the phone a million times, reset the phone to factory settings, tried with other IMAP accounts, and so on.
This is seriously annoying. The whole point of IMAP is to synchronize everything with the server. Please Nokia, can someone fix this?
Regards,
Mogu

that's what I meant: the server's sent folder is correctly subscribed? You can see it among the "other folders" of your account? When you enter your account , on top left of the windows you'd see a little window as default with "inbox" selected. If you explode it by clicking, you'd see the "other folders" choice, clicking on it you should explode all the subscribed servers, and amond them the "sent" server's folder? That should be the clue that it has been correctly subscribed and , hence, you'd see it as a destination folder too when copyng/moving your messages..
If you don't seei it, you have not subscribed the folder and it's normal you don't see it when chosing where to move messages either
If you see it among the subscribed folders, instead, but not in the "move to" as a choice well...it's a bug...and couldn't suggest anything.

Move Mail.app folders from iCloud to "on my Mac"

iCloud says my 5Gb storage is almost full. The iCloud Help page Storage and Backup/Reduce email storage/Move messages to your Mac suggests moving messages manually from iCloud mailboxes to a mailbox “on my Mac.”
Why can’t I just drag mailboxes from iCloud to “on My Mac” and then delete the copied mailboxes from iCloud? Would doing this affect my ability to send and receive messages?

Thanks, Csound1! FYI, I tried to create Smart Folders (apparently Smart Folders can only be created on “iCloud”) for each of the past 4 years, e.g. “2009”; create an Archive “On My Mac” for each of those same years, e.g., “2009 Archive” and then move all the mail from that year’s Smart Folder into its corresponding Archive, e.g. “2009” to “2009 Archive.”
Unfortunately, the Smart Folders did a poor job of assembling all mail from [date] to [date] and I ended up cleaning up every mailbox by hand. Usually, the Smart Folder would pick up everything from past years except from the year the mailbox was created (this is my deduction), so I’d have one or two items from 2014 and all the correspondence from, say, 2011 in my “Family” mailbox.
Even so, I picked up an entire Gb of iCloud storage before doing the clean-up. I exported the contents of the Smart Folders and then deleted them. I also exported the contents of the Archives for back-up purposes.
Now I have 4.97Gb of iCloud storage available.

Cannot move mail to mailbox on my computer

Suddenly my Mail program will not move messages from the institutional server I use to my own "On My Mac" folder. The message I receive is "304 messages could not be moved to the mailbox “Incoming mail 2006 — On My Mac”. This does not vary no matter the number of messages, or to which mailbox on my computer, old or newly created.
I cannot find any answer to this in "Mail Help." Any suggestions welcome.

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, and making sure that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is stored.
3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
4. Move the “IMAP-” account folders to the Trash. Note that you can do this with IMAP-type accounts because they store mail on the server and Mail can easily re-create them. DON’T trash any “POP-” account folders, as that would cause all mail stored there to be lost.
5. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
6. As a side effect of having removed the IMAP account folders, those accounts may be in an “offline” state now. Do Mailbox > Go Online to bring them back online.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

Why does email have cannot move mail?

My IPhone occassionally will not allow me to delete email and shows a message that I cannot move the mail (to trash). The settings seem the same on my IPad which works fine and I can delete from my computer, but not the IPhone. This is frequent and annoying.

What did your email provider say when you contacted them about their server issue?

I cannot move mail to folders, even ones created with icloud
