In Mail I have a problem deleting trash in my mail account.  My wife is the primary user and her Mail account performs ok.  She can delete her trash, mine continues to accumulate?

    In Mail Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviours there are options for deleting junk mail. Try setting it to "Delete junk messages when quitting mail."

  • Cannot delete more than 4 e-mails from trash folder in one go

    When I try to delete more than 4 e-mails in one go from the trash folder on my Sony Xperia Z2, the e-mail software crashes with the message: 'Unfortunately, E-mail has stopped'. Is this a bug everyone is experiencing on the Z2?

    Thank you Thommo, your instructions have solved the problem. I cleared cache and data which got rid of the 4000+ e-mails in my bin folder. Then rebooted and inputted my e-mail account details. The e-mail app downloaded 157 e-mails from the TalkTalk server. I deleted them, and then deleted the same 157 e-mails from the bin folder... and it worked.
    Thanks for your help.

  • I cannot delete any of my flagged mails that suddenly have jumped up to over 7k

    My flagged mails have suddenly jumped up to 7k and now I cannot delete any of them.
    They appear to delete and then return. This has only happened in the last 2 days ....
    Any suggestions

    Hi. shldr2thewheeel...  I so appreciate the time you have taken to reply to my pleas for help.  I think that I need to clarify my problem.  But would you reread my previous message in the mean time...I may not be using the correct terminolgy for what I am trying to find out. AndI am sorry for that.  This stuff is very confusing for me but I am trying.
    I do not have any thing in the trash. I don't even know if I have a trash folder.
    #1.I wanted to know if I could have somehow deleted the trash folder ? in my email site?
    #2 If it is possible than would this be why I cannot get the messages in inbox to delete to the trash folder?
    #3 When I try to delete anything on this computer I get the message on my screen..++++ telling me that whatever it is that I am trying to delete could not be moved to that mailbox because  "Deleted messages -mail.comcast.net does not allow messages to moved to it+++++    Doesn't make sense to me and that is why I wanted to know if it was possible that I may have deleted the trash folder under the INBOX , SENT, DRAFTS, and then where the TRASH folder is suppose to be?
    #4 Everytime I try to delete anything this message box shows up that tells me what is written in #3 between the +++++  ++++++
    It is like there is no trash folder to delete anything to.  It this possible that there is not a trash folder because I could have deleted the Trash folder??
    Thank you so much for time and your help....

  • Cannot Delete .trash file of an external hard drive

    I am having issues deleteing a .trash file from my Western Digital external hard drive.
    I moved 500GB of my photos from that hard drive to a desktop hard drive, they copied to that hard drive and then went to delete the files off my WD. Half way through the deleting it I knocked the hard drive and it ejected. Now it is showing a .trash file that is about 400gb on my WD and if I go to right click delete I get an error saying "cannot delete an unexpected error occured (error code - 50) I had a bit of a look and it looks like I only have the permission to write on it, so I went into get info and change it and the file size went from 400gb to 0kb.
    Any suggestions?

  • Apple Mail 4.5 Deleting Trash

    I'm finding that Mail 4.5 is taking the initiative and deleting trashed mail older than "today".  My accounts are set to delete trash "Never".  I prefer to comb through it periodically and clean house; so it doesn't get filled to overflowing and, at least by my reckoning, shouldn't be wiping out either Sent or Trashed emails; yet it's doing both.  I'm guessing this might be some kind of corruption, but not where to look to clean it up.

    Some users have reported this problem if the Mail Application has been moved out of the top-level /Applications folder, or duplicated in another location.
    When the Security Update is done, the old version of Mail is disabled.
    The solution has been to:
    1) make certain Mail is in the /Applications folder
    2) There is no other copy anywhere else.
    3) Once steps 1 and 2 have been done, Manually download and re-apply the Security Update (2012-004) by hand.
    Security Update 2012-004 (Snow Leopard)
    If the Mail.app has been LOST, it can be re-installed by applying the 10.6.8 version 1.1 combo update. But this update is quite large and it is usually not necessary:

  • Mail app-cannot delete messages error message

    Moved top Lion and am ditching Outlook 2011. Started with my POP account to get comfortable with the interface. All working as anticipated.
    Long term goal was to move to IMAP and I did so. Now when I try to delete anything with the short cut I get
    "The message Food Pantry-January could not be moved to the mailbox (null) The destination mailbox (null) does not allow messages to be moved to it"
    Sounds funny. I can drag items to Trash>On my Mac and then delete without issue.
    Seems that this is a permissions thing but I am not sure where to look.
    Also with this message on the screen and clicking Mail>Preferences I got a very quick kernel panic. Reported to Apple on restart and am working this note with all systems seemingly running OK.
    FWIW. This was a migration from old MBP to new MBP. Never used Mail in old MBP so the experience started with a fresh data set.
    Thanks

    Solved...
    It is the setting in Mail. Preferences>accounts>mailbox behavior.
    My case the trash items were selected which I interpreted as allowing things to be deleted.
    In fact it is the opposite. Deselcting the items now allows me to delete using the shortcut.

  • AOL account in Mail (Leopard) - Cannot delete messages

    I just set up my AOL account in Mail (Leopard) and whenever I try to delete a message I receive the following; The IMAP command “UID COPY” (to Deleted Messages) failed for the mailbox “INBOX” with server error: UID COPY failed Deleted Messages: no such mailbox.
    Any ideas on why it will not delete. I am using port 993 and had it set up automatically.

    I have tried the above suggested solutions.
    Solution 1 - Deleting the com.apple.mail.plist file and moving the mail folder and then rebuild - no change
    Solution 2 - "unchecked the "Move Deleted Messages to Trash Mailbox" box under Preferences -- Accounts -- (my AOL account -- Mailbox behaviors."
    - This works for just deleting the mail but if i send a Mail from my Mail App it is not able to keep a copy of it in the "sent" category in Mail it gives the error / show there to reflect my "sent" box.
    "Mail was unable to open this mailbox on the server “imap.aol.com”.
    The server error encountered was: SELECT Failed: Can't open mailbox Sent Messages: no such mailbox"
    -I do not get this error though when i move items from within Mail from my inbox to my created folders on the AOL IMAP server.
    I believe the error lies deeper in the new Mail app itself where within its settings when writing to what it believes is the default "Folder Name" on the server for "Sent" or "Deleted" section it differs with what it really is on AOL. Cause on AOL the folder names might be different and that is why it is having trouble looking for them.

  • After upgrading to Lion, cannot delete trash

    I have nearly 20,000 items in trash. Prior to upgrading to Lion, I was able to periodically empty trash can. It used to take a painful 4 hours, every week, but it used to get done. Now it seems hopeless. It just asks if secure delete is required, and as soon as I click on yes, it begins to delete, and then the box vanishes. Any clues please?

    Select  ▹ Force Quit... from the menu bar, then select Finder and press return. From the Finder menu bar, select Finder ▹ Preferences ▹ Advanced and uncheck the box labeled Empty Trash securely. Try again to empty the Trash. If you still have problems, follow the instructions in this support article:
    You can't empty the Trash or move a file to the Trash

  • Mail is not deleting trashed and 'junk' mail - it keeps re-appearing!

    Hi,
    Whew! this one's driving me crazy! I've received a bunch of spam over the last 24 hours that I can't get rid of. I've marked it as Junk. I've dragged it to the Junk folder. I've erased Junk mail. I've deleted the spam. I've erased deleted mail. I've quit and restarted mail. I've cleared my email server. I've restarted the machine many times.
    Every time I open mail... the Junk mail is back in my inbox. After deleting it, going to another mailbox, and returning to my in box, the junk is back....
    The un-erasable junk total is over 116 now, and counting.
    Is this some virus? Is anyone else having this problem? The spam is all from someone spoofing my domain (posing as someone from my domain). All of it purports to be from various mail delivery systems (such as Barracuda Spam Filter), and is coming from all over the world, USA, Britain and Germany...
    Help!

    Hi RThomas.
    What type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)? If POP, what are your Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server settings?
    You may be able to get rid of those messages in Mail doing Edit > Cut (⌘X) (for best results do it with only one or a few messages at a time), but you may need to remove them from the server first. Does this account allow web access?
    You may find the Account Info window useful to solve this problem -- choose Get Info (⌘I) from the Action menu (gear icon) located below the mailboxes list in the main Mail window.

  • Folders appearing in IMAP/Mail.app - cannot delete

    I've had several odd mailboxes/folders appear in one of my IMAP accounts over the last 6 months or so. They appear only in Mail.app. If I log into the browser-based email client for that account, these mailboxes/folders are not visible. The name of each begins with "nfs" and is followed by various sorts of junk, e.g.:
    nfs00000000d809d85c000021bd
    nfs00000000d8602f56000010a1
    nfsd8bd59e5000075b7
    None of the mailboxes have any messages in them. I wouldn't care too much except that they take up a line each on the left-hand pane of Mail.app, pushing mailboxes I want to see down and off-screen.
    If I right-click/control-click on one and choose "Delete Folder," I get the following error message:
    "The IMAP command 'DELETE' failed with server error: Mailbox does not exist or must be subscribed to.."
    I've done a lot of searching online and have found no solutions to this problem. Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    EH

    Problem may have been on the server. The folders did show up there, where they caused some problems with the browser-based email client, making it impossible for me to manage my folders there. Tech support for my server managed to locate and delete them. Still not sure how/why they appeared in the first place.
    I'm going to mark this question as answered, though I still don't know for sure where the problem arose (Mail.app vs. server weirdness).

  • Wrote a "Note" in Mail and cannot delete it!

    OSX LION MAIL
    Recently authored a note that I changed my mind about sending.  As it appears in my 'in box' as any email would, I wanted to delete it.
    No matter what I tried, there it remains.

    Uncheck:
    But even if its in the inbox I was able to delete it.
    Open the sidebar ⇧⌘M, look for the note in the Note section at the bottom, and try to delete there.

  • How to set the "delete" button in Mail to actually delete instead if Archive Google Mail messages...

    I know these kinds of questions are asked a lot, but I just wanted to ask my specific question for a nice specific answer.
    I understand Gmail's thoughts on archiving and labels, but it makes gmail a beast to work with on mail clients.  I FINALLY have everything set up perfectly on my Mac's Mail app so that everything syncs and I get no duplicate messages.
    The only issue I have is that when I highlight emails and press the "trash" icon in the toolbar (and hit the delete key I assume) the message(s) is/are archived in the All Mail folder instead of going into the "Trash" folder.  The only way I can truly delete messages is to drag and drop them into the Gmail/Trash folder in the side bar, which can get tedious. 
    Is there anyway to set the "delete" icon and delete key to actually send messages to the trash instead if archiving without causing syncing issues, or do I just need to stick with the drag and drop method?
    Thank you.
