Mail - unable to delete 5 old emails

I have a problem with mail v3.6. Some time ago I had to delete and reconfigure a few pop accounts I thought I had cleared everything off before I did that however I now have 5 emails that will not go away. 4 are oranged out as if they are junk, but they are not. All of them are blank when opened. I have tried deleting, junking, moving etc. but they just keep popping back once the pop syncronises. They are not on the pop server anywhere, on in the reconfigured accounts anyhow. HOW CAN I DELETE THEM PLEASE?

This is probably an indexing problem, but try highlighting the message, click on Edit and choose Cut. This bypasses Mail needing the move the message to the trash mailbox. If this works, then use Rebuild on the mailbox.

I have updated my apple I'd and password on some of my products. I cannot remember how I deflected my original I'd and I am unable to delete my old email address I'd from my other apple products to allow me to use and access my original products

Can anyone help? Some time since I cancelled my initial apple Id and then set up a new one using my new email address. I still possess an iPad and iPhone which have the original email address registered on them. As this account is deleted I am now unable to access any app updates or make any purchases from these products. Can anyone please advise me how to delete the stored original email address from these two products so I can enter my new email address and new password so that and access the facility.
Another thought is would it be possible to use my daughters email address and a new password on these products but I'm wondering if that then means that she would have to repurchase apps or if there is any way we could both access these whilst retaining some privacy over individual phone/ipad content?

In short, you have a problem we can't solve.
I suggest you contact Apple support and make an appointment to get help. Expect to pay for it.

HT4759 I am unable to delete an old Apple ID attached to an old email address on my iPhone. Can you please help me?

I am unable to delete an old email address and update new Apple ID and emaill on my iPhone. Can anyone please help me please?

If the old ID ("email address") is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I deleted my old Email account because I wanted to create a new one, and I did. However, when ever I send an Email from the Mail app on my laptop it says the Email was sent from my old Email and I just can not get rid of it.

I deleted my old Email and only used my new Email to set up the Mail app on my laptop. And the old Email is completely dead, hotmail.com says the Email no longer excists when I try to sign back in to it however my Emails remain saying 'Sent from Jordan [*old Email*].
I can't find a solution!!

If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

How to reset your Apple ID password.
Go to iforgot.apple.com and type in your Apple ID, then click 'Next'.
Verify your date of birth, then click 'Next'.
You'll be able to choose one of two methods to reset your password, either E-Mail Authentication or Answer Security Questions.
If neither method works, then go to https://getsupport.apple.com
(If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
A new page will open.
Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.
Click the blue 'Continue' button.
Select the contact option that suits your needs best.
How to reset your Apple ID security questions.
Go to appleid.apple.com, click on the blue button that says 'Manage Your Apple ID'.
Log in with your Apple ID and password. (If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email)
Go to the Password & Security section on the left side, and click on the link underneath the security questions that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'. This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
If that doesn't work, or there is no rescue email link available, then click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later.
Next, go to https://getsupport.apple.com

I deleted my old email address and added a new one, after my iPhone died iCloud keeps popping up asking for the password of my old email address. I can't remember my password and the account is still gone, it pops up every few seconds. How can I fix this?

des7931,
You should be able to go to your software on your computer and click on the >Scanner Actions section.
Then click on>Scan to E-Mail Wizard
This should bring up a screen to edit, change, or delete the stored email addresses for scan to email.

How do I delete an old email account?

After change of internet service provider I need to delet an old email account. How can I do so?

In a similar problem, I have an old work email that is imported to mac mail / icloud. Following the advice above (
Mail Preferences/accounts, advanced tab and click disable this account.
You can re-enable this account to check for anything that may have come in there.) doesn't help because the only account that shows up is my icloud/mac account.
Any advice to no longer receive imported mail from the old work address?

HT201342 iCloud email seems to be working but darned if I can find a way to delete the old emails off it ... can you help please?

Have iCloud email set on ipad and PC but cannot delete and old emails received through icloud.
How do you delete old emails ... I just get a line through them but they never delete. Thanks

Spoke to my provider and advised that the email I have with them is a POP3 account, incoming mail is POP but outgoing mail is SMPT so have 2 servers and it seems like the Icloud will only recognize a single server.
iCloud does nothing for external email accounts provided by another company.
Only your @icloud.com (or @me.com or @mac.com) email address provided by Apple has anything to do with iCloud.
Issues related to non-iCloud email accounts should be directed to the company providing the email account.

If I delete an old email account from i cloud will it mess up my new email account.

Iif I delete an old email address from icloud will it mess up mail on my new account.

Is it the primary email address associated with your iCloud ID, or an alternate email address? (Note that you can't delete an @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com address.)

My 16gb iPhone 4S keep tell me that my storage is almost full and I don't have enough space for any upgrades. I don't have any music or videos on my phone. I deleted all old emails, texts, contacts and apps but still nothing. When I check my settings, I noticed that my Instagram is at 732mb and it keeps rising. Now it's at 814mb. Please help!!!!!

What is the precise wording of the message that is occurring?
Are you attempting to update via iTunes on a computer or over the air on the device?
How much free space is actually on the device?
If updating via iTunes on the computer, how much free space on the computer?
