Iphone 5 can't delete mail

Lost trash can and all ways to delet mail.

Quit the Mail app and reset your phone like this:
Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

C3-01 can´t delete mails with attachment

Hi,
since one week I have the C3 touch & type. It`s a very nice mobile phone. But I have a problem: I can not delete mails with attachment in the mail programm. Mails without attachment are no problem. I have an mailaccount from "1und1" (Germany). Has anybody an idea, how I can solve this?
Thanks alot.

The only way I've been able to delete them is to delete the email account from the phone, then add the account, again.
Pretty painful solution.

Can I delete Mail and then reinstall?

Am a new user with an iPad 2 and with Mail did a sync to bring in my Outlook contacts. Somehow it found some old contact folders too and now have a totally cluttered contacts list!
Can I delete Mail and download it and start again?
Thanks

You cannot delete the application, but you can delete the account.
In Settings, just select the account with the messed up contact list and choose to delete all the info from the iPad 2.
Then, find the mistakes and extra contacts in Outlook, take care of them, and re-sync your iPad.

Why only videos on iphone can be deleted but not the music or sync photos?

Why only videos on iphone can be deleted but not the music or sync photos?

Because that is the design of the iphone.
Music and photos are added/deleted via the sync process.

Help! How can I delete mail on my iPhone without it deleting on my Mac?

hey everybody!
so, i used to be able to delete e-mails on my iphone (through my gmail account) without having them get deleted from my inbox on my mac's mail app. however, lately, this is not the case. i would like to be able to delete certain messages so that they won't have to stay on my phone but i still need them on my mac.
does anyone have any solutions to this problem?
thanks!

I need the same answer applicable to Microsoft Exchange on a pc. When deleting email from the iphone it is deleting it from everywhere. I need it to stay on the laptop so that the laptop "controls". I just switched over from a blackberry and there was a email control function where you could tell the berry to defer to the laptop when deleting.
I also having an issue in that my "sent" emails are not appearing on the laptop - anywhere. I cannot find a location to alter this.
Please advise and thank you.

I can not delete mail pop account in iphone 4S

Hello
I have set POP mail account earlier but I do not want this account now. I am trying to delete the accont but there is not any button delete account as IMAP mail account have. What is happening? How can I delete the account?

There isn't any reason this POP account should not be able to be deleted. Are there any Restrictions set on the phone? Who is the provider of this email account? I'll assume that you are trying to delete it from Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars? You go to the Mail section, select the account in question, scroll to the bottom of the account page and select delete. However, you are saying when you do this, the Delete Account button does not exist, correct?
The next troubleshooting step after a reset is a restore from backup. You can try that if you like. What happens if you go into the account and toggle the on off button at the top of the account?

I can't send mail and I can't delete mail.

I just can't send mail but receive it just fine.
As well, deleting mail is a problem.

When this happened on my iPhone, I had to go into the mail, contacts, calendars settings and then put my password into the outgoing mail server. Not sure if this is a solution to your problem but it's always worth having a look

IPhone Spotlight Finds Deleted Mail

I use my iPhone 3GS to retrieve mail from a POP server. After reading mail, I move it to trash and then later delete it. Today I was using Spotlight to search for a contact's name. Spotlight found the contact as well as all mail with that contact even though I had deleted it.
I'd like to be able to permanently delete mail without leaving a copy on my iPhone somewhere. Is this possible?

This depends on what mail service you are using, and whether you are using POP or IMAP. When using IMAP, you can decide where to store the deleted messages - in a trash folder on the iPhone, or in the server. If you choose the server, it depends on your service what options you have to retain trash. If you retain it on the iPhone, it "should" empty the trash when you specify in the advanced options.
I am currently using MobileMe with trash being stored in the server. That is the default setting. It is also set by default to keep them there for 1 month. I will play with the settings (change it to 1 day) and see if that has any effect. I'll report back.

Besides,
1. my IMAP server is no longer available. (where my can-not-be-deleted IMAP is associated
2. I have just upgraded to OS X 10.6.2
Anyone has a solution? Please help... the non delectable IMAP is very annoying.

All of a sudden I can't delete mail!

This morning I deleted large amounts of trash and junk mail. Now when I try to delete new e-mails I get the message: "The message XXXX could not be moved to the mailbox “Trash — POP Account” The operation couldn't be completed. File exists."
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thank you.

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination 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 folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
Envelope Index
ExternalUpdates.storedata
Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. 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 files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

Can't delete mail account from Mail

Hello -
Am new to OS X Server.
I bought a MacMini server and have been fiddling with various settings, learning how best to deploy it in my business. Once I feel comfortable, I am planning to wipe it and start a fresh.
But at the moment, on my MBP, I have two identical IMAP accounts in Mail - both linked to the mail service on the server. I can delete one of them - but it reappears a few moments later. The second one reappears instantly.
I have "Unlinked" my MBP with the server in logon options under preferences - but this doesn't seem to help.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can delete them?
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew

Identical problem
- Mail service automatically configured [email protected] I allowed this in response to server's invitation. I had one local server mail account under Mail 4.1 and disabled it, instantly creating two more that I can't disable because the "Save" responds that the path (/Users/Me/Library/Mail/[email protected]) is taken. And when "-" removing them they instantly reappear. I can remove two and tell the last one not to get mail but unchecking "Enable" and save (only by leaving that account) only makes all three instantly reappear.
- In Server Preferences, for each user, I can't turn off Mail service. Gear spin flashes. Checkbox stays off but switch to another user and back and it's checked Mail again. Deleting the Contact Info > Contact > jabber and email still won't let you uncheck Mail.
- In Server Preferences clicking on User then Group then User again accounts started disappearing. User gone, another, all gone. Then can't run Server Preferences because it can't log in. "There may be a problem with the Open Directory Service." Restart server again. All back. Still can't uncheck Mail service.

How can I delete mail from my iPad

How can I prevent 'mail' from my MacPro Mail program from being exported to, and imported by my iPad?

Huh?? The mail application on your iPad is a mirror image of the mail server on your Mac. If you don't open a message on your Mac, it will be on your iPad unopened. If you open it on your Mac, it will appear as opened on you iPad and vice-ersa. If you delete it on your Mac, it will delete from your iPad and vice-versa. If this is not how you want your mail to work, I would recommend removing the mailbox from your iPad. Maybe I'm missing what you're trying to accomplish?

If you are trying to sync contacts direct with Outlook on your computer via the iTunes sync process, this is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. You need Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010.
