Mail will not stay deleted

I delete mail from my g mail & yahoo accounts & it returns in the all mail section. Have deleted it out of the I Mac but still returns.

If I remember you need to check your mail prefs to make sure that you're deleting the message from the server.

Previous Recipients in Mail will not stay deleted

Email addresses that I have used previously (but don't want) keep autofilling in Mail's TO: field.
I have gone to Window>Previous Recipients and deleted these emails but they autofill again the next time I am on my computer.
How can I permanently delete these pesky Previous Recipients?

Thank you so much for your response. I do want to know what the long term effect of this action will be.
there won't be any. you'll just have to start accumulating "previous recipients" from scratch.
Will I still have the autofill feature in Mail?
yes.
Will the "good" Previous Recipients repopulate after I have emailed them?
yes.

Quick Time file 16708.mov will not stay deleted

When I start up my iMac the trash contains a recovered file folder containing 16807.mov (a quicktime ghost file)
After a secure empty trash it will come back at some point again.
It's like it does not stay deleted.
I have logged 3+ hrs with Apple tech support and have done every procedure known with no fix.
Can anyone help?
Thank you
Mike

Hi Mike,
Have you tried removing the file from the trash, opening it in QuickTime, then Force Quitting the application which you can do from the QT icon in the Dock? Sometimes files "think" they are still being used, or components of that file. Then send it to the Trash and with luck empty the Trash.

After updating my iphone 5 of ios 7, I delete or trash my emails rorm my inbox and they pop back up in my inbox. How do I fix this? They are deleted from the main server but show up in my email on my phone and will not stay deleted.

I recently updated my iphone 5 to IOS 7 and since doing this, i cannot get my email messages to stay deleted when I trash them. They have been deleted from the main mail server but show up on my phone. When I trash them, they disappear for a few seconds and then re-appear in the inbox. I tried deleted my mail account from my phone and re-adding it, but this worked for about 12 hours and now its doing it again. I also have shut my phone off and rebooted it but this did not work. How do I fix this?

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
Also consider deleting and reinstalling the Mail Account in question.

My mail will not stay in order no matter what I do Miss a lot and some totally disappear?

Have you created a new account or updated your existing account ? All content that you download from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it, so if you have created a new account then all of your existing downloads will remain tied to your old account.
If you've updated your existing account then try tapping on the id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app and log out of it and then log back in with the updated id so as to 'refresh' the account on it.

An iCal calendar will not stay deleted.

I used to use Entourage but it kept duplicating all my appointments on all my devices so I got rid of it and just started using iCal and it seems to have corrected all the duplicate appointments.
But on my iMac there is still an Entourage calendar appearing in my list of calendars in iCal. There are no appointments in the Entourage calendar. It's listed under "on my mac" and I have deselected it and when I try to delete the Entourage calendar from my iMac iCal, it reappears instantly with a "Microsoft Error Reporting" message "Microsoft sync services has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." AND the Entourage calendar reappears and is checked again!
My 2 iPhones and iPad have iCal set as the default calendar.
Suggestions?

Greetings,
Ensure you have turned off iCal syncing within the Entourage program. That is what adds the Entourage calendar to iCal in the first place. It is inside Entourage under Entourage > Preferences.
If that is already taken care of:
First make an iCal backup, File > Export > Archive.
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
__NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
If the issue persists reset your sync history: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iSync/3.1/en/9247.html
Hope that helps.

Mail will not stay as default email reader

I have the mysterious problem facing a computer newly installed MacBook Air 2012 with 10.8.2. It has Parallels, MS Office 2011, but no MS Mail Application.
I have another account on this computer that is not affected by this issue.
The issue is that the default email reader is set to "Narrator". When I change it to Mail 6.2, the setting takes until I close Mail. When I reopen Mail, Narrator shows again as the default reader. When I click on a mail link in Safari, Mail opens.
There is no evident preference or preference pane file for Mail in the Library. I was looking to compare the preference file with one of a computer I setup in parallel.
How do I find the preference plist file for Mail?
I setup all my accounts through "Mail, Contacts, and Calendar" so I think Apple is storing this configuration information elsewhere.

Never mind. It went away aftrer reboot.
Still don't know where the plist is for Mail though.

I have just upgraded to Maverick and my mail will not stay open

I upgraded my macbook pro to Maverick and had no problems. I just upgraded the Mac mini, and when I open the mail, it comes up for a second or two and then closes. Can someone help me to resolve this problem.

I just got off the phone with Apple support. They had me open Terminal and key in
defaults delete com.apple.mail
My mail is now working.

A draft will not 'stay' deleted,it doesn't reappear in drafts but does when I attempt to comopse a new gmail message//os 10.6.8

Cut, delete, commandX all delete a line of "s's" from a new compose message..HOWEVER the line of "s's" reappear when I open a fresh compose message (ie) doesn't delete the single line of s's from the discarded draft. I'm using gmail via a/my university "account."University IT help punted me to the www. Help appreciated. ted

Positive...a bit more. I haven't a clue re POP or IMAP re the university/gmail. With/in Eudora I could pull it up. (I still like Eudora but that's another subject.)
Yesterday I tried Firefox with the same results..didn't check my settings. In Safari/webmail/gmail I checked my settings and the "s's" line didn't show under signature (ie) nothing to delete/cut.
Then at your mention today of trying another browser, I did. When I was in Firefox/webmail/gmail I did deletes/cuts in/on the compose message with the s's (ie) they kept reappearing. Then I thought "go try the settings." I checked my gmail settings (while in Firefox.) And I found the s's line and deleted it + saved the changes. No more s's when I open compose. Bingo.
Thanks for the brain massage.

Keep getting deleted emails back and mail will not close,have to force quit

i have 4 emails that will not stay deleted.I will delete them and as soon as i reopen my mail they come back.Its as if they never left.Then i can't close my mail.i have to force quit. I have read of other problems close to mine and tried there solutions with no success.I do not know if my setting in pref. are correct or not. This problem is not allowing me to recieve new emails i just keep getttting these same 4 back time after time. very frustrating.

You're welcome.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
In order to fix the problem, we'll have to re-create Envelope Index. The thing is, Mail may choke on those messages while re-creating the index, so either be prepared for that or perform optional steps 1 and 3:
1. (Optional, but recommended). Assuming this is a POP account, in the Finder go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/Messages/, and identify the *.emlx files associated with the troublesome messages. Viewing the *.emlx files as List in the Finder showing the creation/modification date may help. Just identify them; do not get rid of them yet (you must quit Mail first).
2. Quit Mail.
3. (Optional, but recommended). Move to the Trash the troublesome *.emlx files found in step 1.
4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong -- e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down.
5. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
6. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/. Locate Deleted Messages.mbox, and move it to the Trash. I assume there is nothing to be preserved there.
7. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be "imported". Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it's "importing", but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user's home folder.

HT1338 My mail will not delete. When I move it to trash and then delete it within a few minutes it has all bounced back in again. Checked my preference settings and all seems to be in order. Any ideas how to resolve this frustrating problem?

That sounds like a compatibility issue with an add-on that you have installed, as reported by a number of users in both Firefox 22 and Firefox 23 over the last couple of months. If you would provide a listing of your installed extensions ''(as you were prompted to do when creating this thread)'' maybe one of us can advise you which extension is the mot likely culprit. You will need to re-install Firefox 23 to do further diagnostic testing.
As far as the compatibility of Firefox 23 and Win XP SP3, Mozilla has verified they are compatible and not one user ''(including me on two separate PC's)'' has reported a problem with compatibility.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on some Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

Since adding a gmail account, I am stuck with it. I cannot delete it. I cannot add a second one. Worst of all I cannot restart the computer as it tells me that Mail will not let me restart!

Hi!
I understand that Computer 1 is synced and you see something like this when you access the Sync Tab under Preferences: https://support.mozilla.com/media/uploads/gallery/images/2011-01-27-15-46-25-9c0352.png
And in Computer 2 you get a window similar to this: https://support.mozilla.com/media/uploads/gallery/images/compcode.jpg
But when you click on Add Device the following window doesn't appear: https://support.mozilla.com/media/uploads/gallery/images/2011-01-27-15-46-48-5f59d1.png
Is this correct? If so, please let me know what you see (a screenshot will be handy).
You can also set up the second computer following this instructions: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How%20to%20sync%20Firefox%20settings%20between%20computers#w_what-if-im-not-near-my-first-computer

F irefox will not stay on a url more 30 seconds a lot less the majority of the times. I would get rid of the broser but it seems it's the only one that is somewhat running! Can you help with this problem or give me an e-mail address!

It occurs on every web site I enter and has continued this way since Monday it's Thursday now and there is no change!!!!

''''' "Firefox will not stay on a url more 30 seconds a lot less the majority of the times." '''''
Please explain what you mean by that. The web page loads and then it disappears after 30 seconds? Or, the page loads and then you are re-directed to another web page? ''(If so, is the page you are re-directed to always the same? URL of that page?)''
Sorry, all support is rendered thru this forum or by IRC - no email support.
