"mail can't be moved to the trash"

I used the mail app on iPad to keep up with my correspondence while out of town.  Two things; I can't designate spam as spam, and certain emails received cannot be moved to the trash because they apparently come from a mailbox not on my pad.

Delete your mail account/s and re-add them.
This is what worked for me but I've read about other solutions that have worked for some people as well:

  • HT1751 I copied my iTunes folder to an external HD and now I cannot delete it. When I try to move it to the trash it displays The item "iTunes" can't be moved to the Trash because it can't be deleted.

    I copied my iTunes folder to an external HD and now I cannot delete it. When I try to move it to the trash it displays: The item “iTunes” can’t be moved to the Trash because it can’t be deleted.

    Close iTunes. Click the icon to start it, then press and hold down the left shift key. Keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. Choose the iTunes folder on your external drive. That should bring back all your playlists, ratings, play counts etc. You may have to settle for removing and reloading the media onto the device again. That's not too bad, but what you don't want to have happen is your apps being removed and reloaded as then you can lose settings and data. If that looks likely backup and then restore the device rather than sync it.
    If for some reason rebuilding the library the way you did has moved files around then the restored library may have trouble finding things. If so post back and I'll explain what to do...

  • How can I uninstall Kaspersky? The item "Kaspersky Anti-Virus.app" can't be moved to the Trash because it's open.' I did not open it in fact. Please advise. Thanks.

    How can I uninstall Kaspersky to install Mckeeper ?
    The item 'Kaspersky Anti-Virus.app' can't be moved to the Trash because it is opened'. Actually I did not open it.
    Please advise, thanks.

    Remove "Kaspersky Security" by following the instructions on this page. If you have a different version of the product, the procedure may be different. The product includes a Safari extension that may not be removed by the uninstaller.
    Back up all data before making any changes.

  • Does anyone know what The item "F0448200" can't be moved to the Trash because it can't be deleted, mean?

    Does any one know what this means? The item “F0448200” can’t be moved to the Trash because it can’t be deleted.  It popped up on my desktop and I do not know what it is or how to delete it.

    When you do Get Info on that file what application does it show that file to be associated with?

  • The item "safari.jsp.download" can't be moved to the Trash because it can't

    I understand there is no way around the poor server quality issue, but I have received the following error when I visited a site and gotten an automatic download:
    The item “safari.jsp.download” can’t be moved to the Trash because it can’t be deleted.
    Is there a way around this. I hate the fact the icon is staying on my desktop. I can't move it to a folder, Applications, or the trash. Any thoughts?

    Hi,
    You need to quit Safari either from the Safari menu bar, Safari / Empty Cache or Command + Option + E on your keyboard.
    Move the file to the Trash. Now empty the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari.
    More insight to the .jsp file here.

    please see title question

    Do a Get Info, CMD-I, on the File. Is it locked?
    Open Terminal in Utilities and copy/paste this command -- important, leave a space -- then drag the file into the Terminal window and hit return. Please post the output. You can just close the window, when finished.

  • After installing an update (on an iMac), can the installer (.dmg) be moved to the trash?

    After installing an update (on an iMac of any sort), can the installer (.dmg) be moved to the trash?

    If the update is an OS installer, you might want to consider moving it to a folder of an external backup drive for safe keeping. Why? Because Apple removes earlier OS versions when a new one is introduced; there are several threads here about not being able to download Mavericks.
    Just a thought. I keep copies of all OS installers. That will come in handy shortly as I just purchased a refurb 2012 iMac because it can run/boot with Mountain Lion which I need for a couple of (important to me) software applications. I have a copy of an ML installer tucked away and ready to go.

  • Deleted a message from Mail does not move it to the trash folder

    I am a brand new mac user, so it's possible I just don't know what I am doing yet.
    I have added my IMAP email account to Mail with the following mailbox behavior:
    When I delete a message from my Inbox, in Mail it appears to move to the Trash folder.  However, if I log into the webmail interface I can see it actually still exists in the Inbox, but has been marked as deleted (there is a line through it).  It is not actually moving the message on the server into a trash folder, like iPad does.  If I pull up the Trash folder on my iPad, it does automagically reflect the item I deleted.  However, on my phone (not an iPhone), the messages are missing from the Trash folder.
    How do I configure Mail on my Mac to behave like Mail on the iPad?  When I delete a message, I want it to move the message into the Trash folder on the server.
    Thank you very much,
    Jesse

    I figured it out.  Mail created a new folder called, "Deleted Messages."  I was looking in "Deleted Items," which was an old folder.

    Well its kind of hard to decode your english (no offense! I'm just not sure I understand what you mean)
    Let's do some tests.
    First check if your user belongs to the "storage" group (have a look at /etc/group or open a terminal and as root type
    grep <your-username> /etc/group
    Youwill get a list of groups your user belongs to. One should look like this:   storage:x:95:<your-username>,hal
    If storage is not part of that list, add your user to this group (as root):
    gpasswd -a <your-username> storage
    Next test: open a terminal in your users home directory and do
    touch test.txt
    This should just create an empty file named test.txt.
    You won't get output if it worked, so you may check if it really was created with
    ls -l
    That will list the content of the directory. You should see test.txt there, probably other files too.
    If this fails the drive is probably mounted read-only (I see no reason this should be the case in your fstab but better be sure). Btw. is it an internal drive or let's say external USB-Harddisk?
    If the above works you know at least that the drive is mounted read-write and that you have write permissions in you home-folder as it should be.
    Next Step: try deleting the file again witch
    rm test.txt
    and check again with the ls -l if it was deleted.
    None of this will immediately solve your problem but we might get a hint what is going wrong...
    If you get any error messages post them here.
    Sorry but I don't understand what you mean with  "but I can not root as you can send files to the trash" 
    You mean you can't become root at all or just that deleting the files as root is not practical for every day use? (It sure isn't that was just to test if the drive is mounted read-write.)

  • I do not have permission to delete my trash.  It only shows trash when my external hard drive is connected.  If it is not connected, the trash empties.  What can I do to have the trash empty when the hard drive is connected?

    When emptying my trash, I get "The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items."  (I always have a hard drive connected and have just found out that if I disconnect the hard drive, none of that trash shows in the trash can....so there has to be some correlation with the hard drive.  I have had my mac for a year, and never had this problem before though with the hard drive hooked up and all the trash being able to empty completely.)   How can I get rid of the trash.  FYI - I do not have the time machine hooked up, so I know that is not an issue.  Thanks for any ideas to try!

    Please look over XLab's Solving Trash Problems article for some hints. This is an excellent  place to start.
