IMAP Mail Messages Deleted Not Moved to Trash on Server

Hi, I'm having a heck of a time trying to get the server to update my account after I delete e-mail messages using my IMAP account in Mail. I am using Mail Version 2.0.7 and my Mailbox Behaviors in Preferences>Accounts for Trash are set to Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox and NOT TO Store deleted messages on the server, and I Permanently erase deleted messages that are One week old. My question is, even after I move messages to my Trash, then right click on it and delete them permanently, they are still hanging out on the server, and I can see them through my online account, even after syncing. I set my online Preferences for Composing to Move Deleted Messages to Deleted Messages, but it is never happening, unless I delete them again online. Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be great! Thanks,
Justen

Have you tried rebuilding (Menubar > Mailbox > Rebuild) the Inbox, Trash, and other associated mail folders? (If Rebuild is grayed out and you have multiple accounts, you will have to expand the view of the Inbox, Trash, and other associated mail folders containing these messages and select each affected account's Inbox, Trash, and others, separately, so Rebuild won't be grayed out.)

  • Mail messages not moving to trash seemingly until reopening Mail

    I have posted about mail messages disappearing after moving them between mailboxes (a nightmare!).  I tried several things, deleting preferences, rebuilding mailboxes, etc. The particular dissappearing message symptom is yet to reappear.
    However, yesterday the prelude behavior returned.... when I delete a message, it remains in the inbox. I have to quit and restart mail for it to be moved to the trash. It matters not whether I use the delete key on the highlighted message, use the trash tool button, or the "move to trash" command in the "Message" menu. There is other weird associated behavior with the highlighting of a particular message jumping arround (if other messages were unsuccessfully deleted) when this happens too.
    I also have the funky search problems in Mail others have described (sometimes working, sometime not).
    All this started with Mavericks.... what a mess. Any ideas on a fix... what we need here is a serious software fix from Apple!!!!!!

    Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • I have noticed recently that deleted e mail messages do not disappear from the screen.  Instead they turn grey until I switch to another mailbox.  When I return, they are gone.  Any idea why this has started to happen?

  • I updated my iphone 4S with iOS 6.1.3 and now my e-mails say, "This message has not been downloaded from the server".  We have an Exchange server at work.  ??

    I updated my iphone 4S with iOS 6.1.3 and now I cannot retreive or send my e-mails.  We have an Exchange server at work.  I still receive the e-mails on all my devices just fine and I can see the subject headings & a small portion of the body of the e-mail, but when I open the e-mails there is no body and it reads, "This message has not been downloaded from the server".  Very aggrevating and is not helping my business at ALL!!  Same has happened with both iPads we own now. 

    Delete then add back the exchange acct on each device.

  • My mail messages have not updated since Sunday and Safari is not opening--any suggestions?

    On my iPad 2, my mail messages have not updated for 2 days and Safari won't open.

    TThanks Meg-when I got through to Apple tech support, that's exactly what they had me do, but It still had to go further. In Settings I hit Delete Account (very unnerving), watched my messages disappear, then hit Add Account, re-entered my account info, and everything came back, including updating my messages. Success! Safari started too.
    Thanks!

  • I cannot open any of my Hotmail e-mail messages, delete them, look at other ones, nothing. All I can do is sign in and that is it.

    I cannot open any of my Hotmail e-mail messages, delete them, look at other old ones, nothing. All I can do is sign in and that is it. I have tried deleting cookies, clearing the cache space, rebooting the computer, rebooting my internet connection, refreshing the page several times. Here is the thing. I can get on the page and read my mail, etc. like normal if i use Internet Explorer, but I prefer Firefox. The problem is Firefox and I rely on my e-mail for job purposes. I hope someone can help me!!!

    Nevermind. I finally found a third party answer and will post it for anyone else with my problem.

  • The e-mail message could not be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly

    I have a 2 server SharePoint farm.
    All outgoing emails were working fine.
    I just restarted both servers and now after that none of the emails are being sent. I am using OOB publishing workflow and it shows message:
    The e-mail message could not be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly.
    Even if I setup Alert on some list, it doesn't send email.
    I have checked that outgoing email setting in CA is defined and like I said it was working fine without problems but after restart it is showing error.
    What could be the cause of this and how to fix it?
    EDIT
    I removed outgoing mail server in CA, added again and restart IIS but still emails from OOB workflow is not being sent. But email from Alerts are being sent. Don't know what to do now.

    This is really weird, It works when an alert is set but workflows doesn't send emails... Can you create a simple 1 Step workflow in SPD to send an email when a specific field is set. See if this sends an email..
    AJ MCTS: SP 2010 Configuration MCSA: Windows 7 If you find this post useful kindly please mark it as an answer :) TY
    I created a test workflow which sends email to user and it is also not sending email. But I am getting email from SharePoint regarding "variation" page changes as well as alerts which I told above.

  • Sent e-mail messages do not appear in the sent box

    Glad it's working for you but it's still not for me.  I was sending emails fine today and they went to sent box then all of a sudden they aren't there.  Does anyone know what is the problem and a simple solution?

  • Messages are not moving to Error Queue in OSB if Error is Raised

    Hi All,
    My OSB process is as below.
    Queue1-->OSB-->Queue2.
    OSB Proxy is listening to the Queue1.When messages comes to Queue1 Proxy will pick the message and after applying the business logic it will put the message to Queue2.
    If OSB is not able to deliver the message succesfully to Queue2 then it should retry for 2 times.If retry exhausted then the message should move to the error Queue.
    I have configured Queue 1 with delivery failure paramaters redelivery limit and redelivery delay.Also the Connection factory is XA enabled.Even if any error happens (i am not using reply activity in the error handler) its retrying infinitely and messages are not coming to the error Queue.If i use reply activity its not retrying its failing at first time and the message is moved out of the main Queue1.
    Can any one please help me on this?
    Thanks.
    Edited by: 892479 on Dec 21, 2011 6:31 AM

    Since the messages are getting retried, it means that messages are getting rolled back to Queue1 when any errors happen. So transactional behavior is configured correctly.
    Now the problem yu face is that the messages are not moving to error queue.
    Make sure that you have configured following in the delivery failure tab of the queue>
    Redelivery Delay Override - delay in miliseconds between retries
    Redelivery Limit - number of retries
    Expiration Policy - Redirect
    Error Destination - Choose the error queue here
    After that make sure that the Server is restarted, even though a server restart sign is not mentioned on the config page, some of these settings might not take effect without a restart.

  • Fetch new mail messages does not work

    On my notebook the fetch new mail messages does not work
    Settings:
    - Fetch new messages:     every minute
    - Play sound Purr
    I need to us the manual button.
    On my imac it works fine with the same accounts

    My mail sounds are all screwed up. I hear the plane fly when I send an email but when I receive mail, no sound. I have rules set up which worked in Tiger. One rule is for mail to play a message "You have a message from "John Doe" when I receive an email from "John Doe" but it only plays when I send "John Doe" and email. Assbackwards.
    Sometimes when reading new mail, it just disappears. I have to click on it again. I find this version of email to be very flaky!

  • "This message has not been downloaded from the server" - Multiple devices all using Exchange Active Sync

    We are having this issue across multiple IOS devices ranging from IOS version 5.x up to the latest 6.1.2. Many (not all) emails sent to the devices are unreadable and simply state: "This message has not been downloaded from the server". Microsoft believes this to be some sort of bug with the IOS devices in the way they are handling the SSL encryption.
    Facts:
    - Devices are connected to an Exchange 2010 SP1 Rollup 6 via Active Sync (No POP3, IMAP or SMTP)
    - issue occurs on multiple IOS devices within the organization ranging from IOS 5.x up to the latest 6.1.2
    - Issue occurs on both external cellular data and internal wireless networks
    - Not all emails sent to the devices result in the error, but issue does tend to occur more frequently from certain senders/domains
    - Using the same user account on an android phone does not result in an issue (even when receiving the exactly same email that has been sent to the IOS devices)
    - Closing mail app / rebooting device does not resolve the issue
    - Doesn't appear to matter what the mesage format is (can be html, plaintext, etc)
    - Spent nearly 7 hours with Microsoft going through the Exchange server configuration and looking for possible causes. None have been found and all testing indicates things are setup correctly.
    - This is not a case of Issue 2.3 listed here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2563324 (verified by Microsoft Support)
    - If we disable SSL on the IOS device and connect via plain HTTP the messages are displayed correctly!
    - If we use a different SSL certificate, the issue still occurs - so not a problem with the original cert.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on what would cause this? Does the ISO devices have any sort of log that would indicate why it's reporting this error? The current error is pretty unhelpful.

    GFI Have a solution for this problem. It is to do with iOS implementation of reading the message headers when SPF compliance modifications are made by GFI.

  • "This message has not been downloaded from the server"

    Hello, Ever since ive had an iPhone and have used Edge to open a resaonably sized email i usually get "This message has not been downloaded from the server". Im sure this has to do with the slow Edge network timing out. How do you correct this if there is no "Download Now" button. The only solution I have found was to force quit the Mail App (Hold Home button for 6 seconds) and go back in and pray that it downloads without timing out.

    There was a thread on this yesterday that stated that if there is more message it may take four to five minutes to download the entire message and/or attachments.
    One poster even said that it has taken him over 30 minutes in some cases.
    I have this same problem on some email and on others the entire email is downloaded, including any attachments. Since there is no communication put out by Apple regarding this anomaly, it is hard to say whether this a an Apple or provider, i.e., Google or Yahoo.

  • Searched email showing "The message has not been downloading from the server."

    I have Exchange email setup on my iPad. When I search for an email that has a large attachment (15mb PDF) the results show two identical emails. If I click on the first one it says "This message has not been downloaded from the server." The second email seems to open correctly. Closing the Mail app and opening back up doesn't fix the issue. Neither does rebooting iPad. Anyone have any idea why the search is showing multiple emails and why they won't download correctly?
    --Brian

    I am the IT department. Seems to be an issue with the search showing the email locally and server side, so it shows up twice. If I open the email that is server side, it has an issue opening the email again unless I try several times. I'm working with Apple now so hopefully they can help.

  • Occasionally my iPad 2 does not download POP3 emails with the error "This message has not been downloaded from the server"

    Chris

    My question, which I thought was obvious, was has Apple got a workaround for this obvious error in their IOS email client. It hasn't been fixed and it's about time it was.
    The fact that this problem :-
    1. Manifests itself on both iPhone and iPad devices
    2. Does not show up on Windows clients (Outlook 2007, Outlook 2010, Windows Live Mail, Becky 2)
    3. Does not show up on web clients (GMail, Pobox, Hotmail)
    4. Does not show up on MacOS clients
    5. Does not show up on Android clients (Mail, Touchdown)
    Leads to the inevitable conclusion that the problem is not device related (so I agree with you there) but is client / platform (Mail or IOS) related. The fact that more research on this forum shows that this issue has been around since IOS 1.0 days corroborates this conclusion.
    I do not agree with you presumption that the issue is with the message, all the evidence above refutes this.
    So here I am on the official Apple discussion forum seeking enlightenment and assistance from the combined knowledge of the assembled technorati. And quite frankly your terse, bad tempered message falls way short. If there were an "unhelpful answer" button on your message I would have pushed it.
