Mail error cocoa 512 can't delete messages

That says it all

Hi Michael,
NSFileWriteUnknownError = 512
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 this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

When I try to delete an email, I get a message which says "The message could not be moved to the mailbox trash". How can I delete messages?

When I try to delete an email, I get a message whih says "The message connot be sent to the mailbox Trash. How can I delet messages?

Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Then select the account on the right-hand side of that screen, select Account, then Advanced, Deleted Mailbox, and under On The Server tap the 'Trash' folder (or whatever it is called by yor provider) so that it gets a tick against it - then come out of that series of popups by tapping on the relevant buttons at the top of them and then see if you can delete emails

Can't delete messages using delete key in Outlook 2007

After upgrading to Exchange 2010, we are seeing an intermittent problem where users in Outlook 2007 can't delete messages from their inbox using the delete key. Opening the message and clicking delete from there will delete it from the inbox.
They can also drag the messages from the inbox to deleted items.
The issue comes and goes during the day. One minute delete will work and then it won't and then it will again.
Thanks,
Crystal

Hi Crystal,
How many uses have the issue?
Did you check the Outlook add-in or Anti-Virus application?
Please check whether there is any error/warning event in the Event Viewer.
Please recreate the Outlook profile for user if possible.
Please try to run the cmdlet New-MailboxRepairRequest.

How can i delete messages on iMessage and have them STAY GONE?

How can I delete messages from my iPhone and have them STAY GONE and not have them show up on my computer or iPad? Same thing, how can I delete from any of these and have them NOT show up on the other devices? If I delete on one, it stays on the other. It's a constant circle of deleting messages? I want them gone when deleted. Maverick. iPad4th iPhone 5
Thanks.
Sandy

Hi,
First off.
The "Sync" as Apple calls it is only "Display on all Devices" and nothing more.
Deleting it on one device will not delete it on another.
On the Mac the iMessages are stored in ~/Library/Messages in file called chat.db with a couple of supporting database items alongside.
If you "close" or remove the chat in the list in the Messages window (the x when you mouse over the name and pic) then the iMessage will "return" as an "Aid Memoire" to the previous conversation.
This is local on your Mac and is nothing to do with any 'sync' over the iMessages servers.
The longest time I have experienced was using my iPhone on a hotel WiFi on a Friday evening away form home and picking up those same iMessage on Sunday evening when I turned my Mac on.
The iMessages servers "push" the iMessages to the devices it thinks are Registered.
However this only happens once. When the device has the iMessages the servers stop sending it.
This is to stop what you seem to describe - the endless attempt to delete the same iMessages.
It is more likely you are talking about the "history" feature.

How do I delete excess email messages from my iPhone. There are 300 messages listed, and every time I delete some, more are added from old messages. How do I limit the number of messages that can appear on my phone? How can I delete messages in bulk,

You can't.
All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the Photo Library. The photos in the album or albums below are not duplicates - they include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. This way you can view the photos in a particular album only by selecting the album, or you can view all photos available in all albums by selecting Photo Library.
Just as with an iTunes playlist. A song cannot be in an iTunes playlist unless the song is in the main iTunes library. Placing a song in a playlist does not duplicate the song. Remove the main iTunes library or the songs from the main iTunes library that are in a playlist and the songs will no longer be in the playlist either. This way you can listen to the songs in the playlist only by selecting the playlist, or all songs in your entire iTunes library by selecting Music under Library in the iTunes source list.
The same with iPhoto on a Mac. A photo cannot be in an in iPhoto Event or Album unless the photo is in the main iPhoto library. Placing a photo in an Event or Album does not duplicate the photo. This way you can view the photos in an iPhoto Event or Album only by selecting the Event or Album, or all photos in all Events or Albums.

Can not delete messages

I can not delete messages from the inbox or the junk box. I can not drag messages to the trash box. I have downloaded and reinstalled Thunderbird but still does not work. All other functions seem to work.
It is possible to move messages from the inbox to the junk box but can not delete them from their.

Thanks for your help and suggestion. This fix did not work. I can now move messages to the junk folder then using right click, empty junk the messages are deleted. They do not go to the trash folder however. I guess this work around will work but its not the way it should be.

Multiple gmail accounts in mail.app via IMAP - how to delete messages

multiple gmail accounts in mail.app via IMAP - how to delete messages so that they are not stored on gmail and not in All Mail therefore either.
i know that dragging messages to the GMail.Trash folder deletes it in Gmail, but doing that for multiple accounts is a hassle!
anybody else struggle with this, solved it?

i have still not figured out a solution to this. very painful - the fact that messages iwill not be using ever again and with large attachments, just sit there in all mails and slow down mail.app for me, fill up search results with stuff i don't want to see and fill up space on the HDD. the attachments as a result often are stored 3-4 times on the HDD!
some geek here must have solved it - come on!

Can't delete messages in Mail

This is a brand-new issue that started yesterday — I cannot get rid of unwanted messages in Mail when I click on Delete. Nothing at all happens. I can do a "Move To" on some of the messages.
I also cannot select "Rebuild".
Who has solved this problem before?

I had the same problem and tried a solution I found on other forums. First archive a copy the affected mailbox in case something goes wrong. Then highlight the mailbox name in the navigation bar on the left, go to the "Mailbox" menu, and choose "Rebuild" from the bottom of the list. This worked for me.
There's also an option in Mail preferences to "Move deleted messages to a separate folder." I unchecked it and rechecked it, then closed Mail Preferences.
Somewhere along the line I also did a restart. It never hurts.
Hope this helps.

Can I set Mail.app to default "Permanently erase deleted messages when" to Never, for all new accounts?

When setting up new accounts in Mail.app, I generally remember to set the "Permanently erase deleted messages when:" setting to "Never", in contrast to its harsh default 1-month setting.
When I first switched to a Mac years ago (probably around the time of Leopard, or one before), I didn't know of this setting, as it's somewhat buried and not part of the add new account "walkthrough", and I permanently lost serious business mail on a self-hosted mail server, due to this, in my opinion, really stupid default setting.
At any rate, as I said, I usually remember to change this, but I recently synched accounts via iCloud to a new machine (a work machine), and for whatever reason, the setting didn't take on one account (just one account; despite being set to "never" on the primary mac from which things sync). Same problem all over again.
So, Is there a way I can simply change the default, in the system, so that whenever a new account is created, Mail.app sets the default "erase messages when" time to "Never"?
I need to duplicate Gmail (archiving) functionality and thus far this is the best way I have of going about it; leaving those messages in trash on my regular old everyday IMAP servers.
I did run into this solution – http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22283, though it was for Mail.app in OSX 10.2 (so things have changed now), but I'm willing to bet there is a similar command, more up to date, that might do something similar? I'd like to run such a command on all of my machines so that ALL new mail accounts created are set to NEVER permanently auto-empty the trash–that should be done when I chose, and when I chose only.

Open Mail preferences, click on the Accounts icon in the toolbar then select your mail account, click on the Mailbox Behaviours tab on the right. Set the dropdown menu at the bottom for the Never option.
However, you cannot change the default options set for a newly created account.

How can I delete messages from the local Sent folder without deleting from the remote server?

I am running out of disk space on my local machine. Analysing this, I can see that a large amount of space is being taken up by local storage of Sent emails from my IMAP synchronised account.
I do not see how I can delete the local copies from my PC without them being deleted from the Server as well. There is an account setting option under Synchronisation and Storage to delete messages, but it says they will be deleted from both the local machine and the remote server.
I need to keep the server versions as these are business accounts and it is important I have all my old messages stored somewhere.

Short answer: get a bigger hard disk.
You could disable synchronization and free up the space on your local disk without loosing the messages. However, this would eliminate the possibility to create backups of your messages.<br>
Since you mentioned this is important business mail, you shouldn't take chances.

I have two identical Mail accounts. How can I delete one without losing all the mail in both accounts?

I have two identical Mail accounts. Don't know how that happened -- the second one just showed up one day. If I try to delete one account, I get a warning that all mail in the accounts will be permanently lost. How can I delete one of the duplicate accounts without losing messages in both accounts?

Is there a way to recover deleted mail from my iPad and recover deleted messages from my onw iPhone?

Is there a way to recover deleted mails sent from iPad and/or recover deleted messages from my iPhone?
A software or even open it? It is very important for me get back the messages sent on December. I did not have a back up at that time, at least that I know, but I change my iPhone and had as I got a micro chip, I could take my contacts from iTunes.
Does it means a back up was done at the Note book I used that time or the messages are lost?
And my mails? From my server, I can recover only from 5 last days!
Thank you for any help!!

Thanks for replying - no, I had not done a backup since the shots were taken and then attemped to put them in an album as I did not want to change the enviornment of the phone from when I had inadvertently delted them. Unfortunatlely, when asked "Do you want to delete these photos from all locations," I hit yes and they were also deleted from my Photostream.

Versamail can't delete messages from Verizon acct.

I can still send email from my TX via my Verizon account using Versamail, but when I mark messages deleted, tell it to delete on the device and on the server and update the server, the next time I do a mail sync the deleted messages come back.
Verizon changed the port on the outgoing server a while back, and I made that change in Versamail. Still doesn't delete stuff on the server.
Any ideas?

Hello Nelson Vasquez,
It sounds like you want to delete some messages from the Messages app. You should be able to do that with this info from the following article:
iOS: Using Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3529
How do I delete a Message?
You can delete a message by choosing More… after tapping and holding a message bubble in your current Messages conversation. Selected messages that will be deleted show a checkmark to the left. Tap the trash, in the bottom left corner, and choose Delete Message.
If you are doing this and it is not working, or this is not what you are wanting to do could you clarify just a bit for me?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling
