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:+

+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 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.

Intermittent "Cannot find server or dns error"

We are getting "Cannot find server or dns error" intermittently. It happens most frequently using internet explorer on https. Anyone else getting this or have any suggestions?
(I have logged as TAR 1525537.999)
null

After many, many hours or research and corresponding with other
Oracle resources, we resolved the issue. We still receive the
"Cannot find server or DNS error" but with much, much less
frequency.
Here are the complete details:
Environment:
Windows NT 4.0 SP 6
Oracle 9iAS 1.0.2.2
Oracle 9iAS Portal 3.0.9.8.0
Oracle 8i Database 8.1.7.0.0
Apache HTTP Server: 1.3.19 (win32)
mod_ssl: 2.8.1
OpenSSL: 0.9.5a
SSL port: 443
Problem:
We were running into the following error intermittently (but very
frequently) when accessing pages in the Oracle Portal application
with SSL enabled:
"Cannot find server or DNS error" at the bottom of a "Page cannot
be displayed" error page.
Resolution:
7 Applied patchset for Oracle8i 8.1.7.1.1 (to database client and
server)
7 Applied patchset for Oracle8i 8.1.7.1.5 (to database client and
server)
7 Applied patchset for Oracle Portal 3.0.9.8.1
7 Implemented solution for Oracle Bug No. 1822053 (HTTP 404 Doing
Portal Development) by changing (and un-commenting) the following
line in our Apache http.conf file:
From: #SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive
ssl-unclean-shutdown
To: SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" ssl-unclean-shutdown
7 Implemented solution for Oracle Bug No. 1821195 (When uploading
large file using modplsql & SSL error reading data from client)
by replacing the existing ApacheModuleSSL.dll file with the
patched file referenced in the bug details.
Note: Bug No. 1821195 is for Oracle9iAS 1.0.2.2. It references
Bug No. 1773627 for Oracle9iAS 1.0.2.1.
I feel the biggest help was finding out about Bug No.
1821195/1773627. We were provided the bug details by a local
Oracle technical consultant, Dave McMarlin, referred to us by the
Oracle Joint Staff Account Manager. That solved our problem with
receiving the noted error message when we tried to add items to
the content area. Applying the change to the http.conf file
identified by Bug No. 1822053 (removing the nokeepalive entry) in
combination with the Oracle8i and Oracle Portal upgrade seems to
have solved our problems with the other intermittent occurrences
of the noted error message.
According to the details for the ApacheModuleSSL.dll patch, there
was mention of a bug in the "select" function in Windows NT 4.0:
"When checking a socket, if data can be read without blocking,
select () returns yes, but when actually reading from the socket
with recv(), that function returns WSAEWOULDBLOCK, which says
that reading would block. It seems that this problem does not
occur in usual operation, but only in an SSL enabled Apache
(modssl or apache-ssl) with https. The code for WIN32, which
handles writing to a socket, already contains a workaround for
this. The code for reading from a socket did not have a
workaround."

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.

I get an intermittent " Cannot Get Mail. The user name or Password is incorrect" I haven,t touch any settings. Any ideas?

I get an intermittent " Cannot Get Mail. The user name or Password is incorrect" I haven,t touch any settings. Any ideas?

That usually means that the mail server is busy and rejects the Mail App's request for a mail update.

Cannot get mail, server unavailable error message n my Yahoo account only, but not on others

Although I have no problem getting hotmail and other yahoo account messages, my PRIMARY email account has been returning an error message "Cannot get mail, server unavailable". But my server is working just fine for everything else except my main yahoo account. Could anyone shed some light on this for me? Thank you all!!

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

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

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.

I cant delete email messages have a private server and it says cannot move mail to trash please help

Did you ever Figure this out? I have the same issue and it is so ANNOYING!

My hotmail suddenly saying 'Error cannot move mail to Trash' Help pls!

It's always worked fine and I've changed no settings but it's suddenly stopped working and saying unable to delete message. Why? I've read lots of different threads about a fix involving going into settings-Mail-advanced and checking the delete message/trash option, mine already is checked, not the archive option but it still isn't working. I've tried I checking and re checking the box, soft reset the phone and deleting my account time and time again. But nothing is helping.
Please someone help because it's driving me mad!
Many thanks

It's worked for me (I've been having this problem too)...
Go to Settings
... Mail
.... "Click" to choose your IMAP account
... Scroll down and click "Advanced"
... Under "Mailbox Behaviors" click "Deleted Mailbox"
... Scroll down to the bottom, under "On the Server", and click "Trash"
... Get back to the main Account info box by clicking the " <Advanced " text/choice at the top left -- twice
... And click "Done".
Worked for me after annoyingly not being able to figure it out for over a year :-/
Hope this helps!
Happy New Year!! (Especially happy if it does help :)

Cannot move mail with attachments

I was helping a friend prepare to eventually delete her hotmail account from Mail on her iPad. She did not want to lose any mails, so we were moving messages from her hotmail inbox to her gmail inbox. Moving the messages was uneventful until we came to messages with attachments. Any mails with attachments will not move. When trying to do so, we get an error message that simply says the mails cannot be moved...but gave no reason why (really helpful). They're simply stuck in the hotmail Inbox and cannot be moved out. Anybody have a clue what's happening here?
In a worse case scenario I told her we could forward those messages to her new account and then just delete them from her hotmail account. By doing so we'll save the messages, but the messages won't appear in the new inbox according to when they were originally sent, but rather by when they were forwarded. Being able to move them would be the proper solution, but it simply won't work.

Perhaps the mail server has a size limit that it allows. Might try a free web service and see if that will work for those attachments.

Cannot move mail to IMAP folder

At some point recently after a Mail.app update, the following has changed:
I can no longer move messages into my ISPs IMAP folder. Mail.app gives me a dialog saying: The destination mailbox "<name>" does not allow messages to be moved to it.
The ISP says this is not true, and Windows and UNIX clients can move messages into the mailbox just fine.
Only Mail.app cannot.
This seems possibly related to another post I made about recent IMAP/Mail.app issues.
Ideas appreciated.

Mail.app and Dovecot IMAP server... for some reason the combination ended up leaving a process running that locked the mailbox permanently.
This issue seems to be fixed on the server and Mail.app is happy now.
No idea why it happened on the day Mail.app got updated.

Cannot move folder because of error code -43

I am trying to move a Folder into my Applications/Utilities folder. When I move into any folder like Applications or Documents it moves fine. But when I try to move it into Utilities it asks me to authenticate and then I get this error:
The operation cannot be completed because one or more required items cannot be found. (Error code = -43).
Anyone know why this is happening?
Thanks,
Frank

It turns out what was going on was the folder I was moving is a shortcut. And where I was trying to move it already had a shortcut of the same name So Mac OS X gave me that informative error to tell me about the conflict.
Nice.
