Mail application will not let me move items from 'junk' to 'trash'

When I try to delete messages it tells me they can not be moved to the trash because an item is there already there
or it quits unexpectedly.
“37900.emlx” couldn’t be copied to “Messages” because an item with the same name already exists is the error message.
Whether I highlight drag and drop, right click delete, or move manually one by one to trash.
It is driving me bonkers any ideas?
Re: My mail application is acting crazy.

1. Go to the Mailbox menu, and select Erase Deleted Items ..In All Accounts.
2. Try Rebuild.
Select a misbehaving mailbox and again go to the Mailbox menu and select Rebuild.
Do this separately with each misbehaving mailbox.

The new Mail program will not allow me to drag groups of addresses from the Address Book like I could before upgrading. Is there a setting somewhere I am missing? What is the fix on this problem?

If you have Webmail access you might check that, sometimes a malformed email can clog the system.
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.

Mail application will not answer

Lately I tried to solve a problem concerning Scandinavian letters. The thing is that Scandinavian letters in 'rich text' with Tiger Mail sometimes show up like Chinese signs or reversed questionmarks in Windows-recipients' mail.
Tom Gewecke explained it is due to two bugs in mailprogram in outdated MS Outlook.
I did what suggested. One of the suggesstions was to set Mail's default encoding to UTF-8. To do this I had to open Utilities/Terminal and type:
'defaults write com.apple.mail NSPreferredMailCharset "UTF-8"'
I also put in a dingbat character in every mail to WIN-recipients, which was another suggestion to force MS Outlok to identify and use UTF-8.
This may have solved the problem so far. I think so.
It may be a coincidence. But after a day or so my Mail app. have troubled me ever since.
The application will not answer. It will not show the mails in the mailboxes.
I can't read og send mails. I can't quit the application, but have to force-quit
The connection to the internet is OK. Window/Mail-doctor shows there is connection to the internet. But in the Window/Activity the view shows that the activity is blocked.
Please, anyone?!

Hi again David.
Thankyou for you support so far. Had to sleep and do stuff … problem transformed:
1. Quit Mail if it's running.
2. Move the entire Mail folder out of
~/Library/ -- be sure to not overwrite the
backup copy you did before.
3. Open Mail. If any of your POP accounts is
configured to remove messages from the server right
away, either tell Mail to go offline immediately
after opening it, or shut down your Internet
connection before opening Mail. Then, configure the
account to leave Mail on the server for some time, so
that we can later get rid of the newly created Mail
folder without losing anything.
Post back with your observations.
:: I have done the three steps.
:: Then I moved back all my original mailboxes to the Mail-folder just to find out that all the messages in them will not load in Mail app. when I open it. I have all my original named mailboxes visible in Mail, but the content of messages will not show.
:: Other features in Mail are now at work: it opens and closes, I receive, send etc.
:: In ~/User/Library/Mail/Mailboxes on the other hand I find all the earlier recorded messages as .emls-files. But they don't show in Mail app.
:: Then I startede to import my messages from a copy of the removed and back-moved Mail-folder now placed on my external HD. This is extremely slow. Mail app. crashes again and again. Maybe because I have a huge pile of messages (more than 30.000).
:: If I divide each of Message-folder in my Mailboxes in the Mail-folder into smaller portions of messages I can succeed in importing them, 5 by 5 or 10 by 10. This off course is very, very time-consuming.
:: Lately the Import-folder generated by import in Mail app. disappeared! Again and agian it does not show by import. So I can't use this feature at the moment. Why does it disappear?
:: So how can I make the messages — which are present in the in ~/User/Library/… — visible in Mail app. again?
:: How can I make a better record and archive-system of my messages, maybe year by year (without having to save each one of them as RTF-files)?
Thankyou,

Mail application will not open

My mail application quit opening a few weeks ago. When I try to open it with the icon on the dock and in the finder the screen just blinks. Even my computer savvy wife cant figure it out. My next stop is the genius bar unless there are some geniuses here. I can still get mail via .mac log in but cannot send links or documents as the OS mail application will not open when I need to send them.
Any suggestions????

I would take your OS X installation disc and insert it in the drive, then restart the Mac and hold down the C key until you see the spinning cursor on screen. When it finishes loading, select Disk Utility from the Installer menu and first Repair Disk, then Repair Permissions, then reboot from your HD, eject the OS X disc and try Mail again.
If that doesn't work, then the best thing in terms of time and effort would be to do an Archive and Install of OS X 10.5, with the Preserve Users and Network Settings option. This will install a new copy of 10.5, while preserving all of your current folders and applications, and moving all the old ones to a folder named Previous System. You can then use Software Update to bring it current to 10.5.3, run Repair Permissions when that's done, then Mail should work normally again. Once you've confirmed that and that all your other programs and files are intact and working, you can delete the Previous System folder.

Some have reported success simply by reinstalling the update.

Or download and apply, or reapply, the 10.6.8 Combo update first, then apply the Security Update again.

Windows Server 2012 - Backup failing with Exchange - The application will not be available for recovery from this backup. the consistency check failed

Hi
We have a Windows 2012 server with Exchange 2013, all is working fine except now i am getting issues with the backup.
'Exchange - The application will not be available for recovery from this backup. the consistency check failed for the component Microsoft Exchange Server'
I have checked the database all is fine, i have created a new db and move all mailbox;s over and then removed the old db, i have enabled circular logging and then disabled it, it seems no matter what i do i cannot get a full backup!
i did have to restore the server once and the backups still worked for about 4 days after that and then stopped, i have also tried to remove and re add the backup role!
i am stumped, any advice would be great!

Hi
Ok, i created a test db and tried to back it up right away, it failed, i did not add any mailbox's to it either. i got quite a few events in the windows logs, as well as the same event above i got the following:

Lightroom will not let me import photos from either camera or desktop. I can see them in the preview part of Lightroom but when I click import, just says they can't be read. HELP!

Lightroom will not let me import photos from either my camera or my desktop. They show up in the preview bit of Lightroom and I select the ones i want to import, then add my metadata info etc and file handling, but then when I hit IMPORT just keeps saying they can't be read. SO FRUSTRATING.

You are copying the photos. Does LR have the permission to delete the files from its source location - as DdeGannes suggested? Maybe this dialog is misleading.
Did you try to just add files copied to the destination before - just for finding the issue?
If nothing helps: Any chance you can upload one of the jpg to some file sharing service so we can have look at it?
I believe DdeGannes suggested permission on the Destination folder (not the source folder). Performing a copy requires only Read&Write permission on the destination folder, not the source folder. You need to go into your operating system and change the permissions to Read&Write on the destination folder. (If you don't know how to do that, go to your favorite search engine and type in Change Permissions Mac)

HT5361 The quit line in my mail application is not accessible and stops me from shutting down my computer (it displays a message saying that "mail has blocker shutdown"

Linda,
see the link on the right with the highlighted tick. In short click on the apple icon at top left and choose the wayward app from the 'force quit' dialogue. Another way is to put an icon in the dock for the Apple utility, "Activity Monitor". Set it to show all users processes and highlight that for the wayward app. The choose 'Quit Process'. BE CAREFUL, do not choose the low number processes which are fundamental operations for the whole OS.
