Mail won't delete e-mail from originating POP account
I have several pop3 e-mail accounts set up in Mail. Messages are retrieved perfectly, but though I delete them in Mail they remain in the original account (ie: optonline). I need to then log into the pop3 account and delete them again in order to empty the originating mailbox.
IMac Mac OS X (10.4.7)
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Advanced tab for the account preferences, is "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message" selected and if so, what is your selection below for removing messages from the server when downloaded by the Mail.app?

Duplicate messages - mail won't delete
I'm not sure if this is a mail problem only or if there is something else going on but I'll start here. I've got several messages in triplicate that won't delete from my POP account (the same problem occurs for single messages also). Messages appear to delete from "inbox", "trash" and "junk" but reappear when mail is reopened.
I'm also having the same problem with itunes, I delete my library but when itunes is reopened songs in my library reappear. I have also tried to print my itunes library but get the message "The itunes library file cannot be saved. The disk you are attempting to use is full". When attempting to print from my X-Pad I get the message "Error while printing". Also another odd thing I've noticed is that my desktop "clock/calender" disappears after startup, I have to keep putting it back on. So far these are the only problems that I've noticed, these problems just occured yesterday.
Help would be greatly appreciated, Thankyou

Are you sure your hard drive has only a 10GB capacity?
Select your hard drive and use Get Info via the Finder. This will provide Capacity and Available information.
If you have only a 10GB capacity hard drive (which is actually slightly less than advertised capacity which is the same for all hard drives), this is likely the cause of your problems.
OS X makes generous use of Paging or Virtual Memory which uses available free hard drive space when utilized. I regularly use anywhere from 6-9GB of virtual memory without a lot of processor intense activity and I have 1GB of RAM.
See Problems from insufficient RAM and free hard disk space.
A 10GB hard drive capacity may have been adequate for OS 9 but it isn't adequate for OS X unless you install OS X and applications only and store all data on an external hard drive.
If you have a 10GB hard drive capacity, you should seriously consider purchasing a much larger hard drive if you plan on using this Mac for a while longer. -
'''bold text'''Thunderbird crashes regularly when I try to delete email. ALL MAIL doesn't work at all and won't allow me to delete anything. I have gone to Properties many times and tried to repair ALL MAIL but it doesn't work.
I was also unable to open and read any of your responses to previous questions that appear to be similar.
I like many of the features of Thunderbird but am about ready to give up. Help, please.Is Thunderbird really crashing when you try to delete mail, or is it not responding?
''All Mail won't delete at all.''
What exactly does this mean?
Are you talking about Gmail? If so, do you have any clue what 'All Mail' is, and why it's a bad idea to delete something from 'All Mail'?
''I was also unable to open and read any of your responses to previous questions that appear to be similar.''

Mail won't send but Connection Doctor says smtp account OK.
Mail won't send but Connection Doctor says smtp account OK.
I can receive mail but can't send it from Mail 3.5. Same problem on a wired G5 and on a wi-fi MacBook (using the same account), so not hardware related. Worked fine 'till today - I didn't change anything in between times. Incoming mail no problem. Tried mail rebuild, keychain first aid, deleting the account, repair disk permission - doesn't help.
Mail's connection doctor says "smpt.xxxxxx - connection to server succeeded, no login required."
Anybody any ideas? Thanks, NBeen having the same problem for a few weeks now. This has been working just fine, and all of a sudden - nothing. The update to 10.5.6 didn't do anything to fix this either.
I've spent numerous hours on the phone with the Apple support. Seeing as the two other accounts that I have configured work with no problem, they say that this is a problem with the provider which is also the ISP. I then called the support line for the ISP and informed them of this and they say that it's a problem with the software.
Interestingly, if I send a message to somone with the same ISP, the message will go. But I can't send a message outside of the provider. Does anyone else have this problem?
Also, from another forum, they suggested rebuilding the LaunchServices database. The Apple support didn't see what that would do. But I tried it anyway and the problem still exists.
Another intesting thing is certificates. It's only happened twice, but I've received the message saying that Mail can't verify the certificate XXXXX which validates the identity of the smtp. Anyone else get this? I thought perhaps I could delete the certificate and it would magically reappear. But when I go into KeyChain, the certificate is listed only under System Root and I can't delete it.
ideas? -
Cannot send mail from my POP account
I have a IPod Touch with the latest software installed (I believe that is 3.1.3).
I have 2 email accounts which I use, a MobileMe account which I am not having any problems with, but my POP account is having problems sending emails. I can receive emails just fine but when I send an email from my POP account I get the error "cannot send email - sender address was invalid". I have deleted the account and set it up as "Other" with all the same settings that are on my Mac but It still does not work. By the way the outgoing server is smtp.west.cox.net if that makes any difference.
Any help would be appreciated.Thank you, Baforer. Between your solution and another person having the same problem, I was able to solve mine, an error message saying "Sender address is invalid" when I know my email address WAS correct.
For anyone else with this problem, I'm using comcast.net in the Northern Virginia area, I went into "Preferences" under the Mail menu (on my Mac), and clicked on "Accounts", Outgoing Mail (bottom of the page), hit button called "Server Settings" and see what port is displayed. In my case, like Baforer, it was 25. So exit out of Mail on your computer and go into Settings on your iPod Touch, Mail etc and go deep to Outgoing mail server, my case "smtp.comcast.net", enter, in next window, all the way at the bottom it says "Server Port"; click on that, a keypad will come up, erase whatever is displayed and enter 25 (or whatever was on your mail acct on your computer - previous step above) and you're finished. You'll here the familiar "whoosh" as those emails in your Outbox get sent on their way. -
Mail hang when getting email from multiple POP accounts
I'm posting this issue again.
Mail hangs while getting new mail from multiple POP accounts almost every time. When it does, only Force Quit can quit it.
The following DID NOT fix the hang:
- Reconstructing all mail boxes
- Exporting, deleting and reimporting all mail boxes
- Disabling all rules
- Deleting anti-spam history
- Deleting all emails from all mail boxes
Testing each POP account individually while putty the other two offline works fine.
I also noticed that sometimes the new mail counter in Inbox displays 2-4 new messages while there is no new ones. Switching boxes/folders and back to Inbox fixes it.
The POP accounts are:
One plain text POP
One secure POP
One GMail POP
Can anyone help?You’re welcome.
I did try to clear the junk mail preferences
The Junk Mail preferences cannot be “cleared”. What do you mean?
it crashes almost every single time.
It doesn’t crash (i.e. quit unexpectedly). It freezes (i.e. becomes unresponsive), right?
I transfered my data to a Mac Mini. I had the same exact problem on it too!
so it seems it has nothing to do with the OS plugins or the setup I have.
Well, that would depend on what exactly does “I transfered my data” mean...
Try first disabling all the rules in Preferences > Rules AND the junk filter in Preferences > Junk Mail. If the problem persists, proceed as follows.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and ensuring that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. 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. This is where all your mail is locally stored.
3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see any other “Envelope Index”-named file there, delete it as well.
4. Move any “IMAP-”, “Mac-”, or “Exchange-” account folders to the Trash. Note that you can do this with IMAP-type accounts because they store mail on the server and Mail can easily re-create them. DON’T trash any “POP-” account folders, as that would cause all the mail stored there to be lost.
5. 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.
6. As a side effect of having removed the IMAP account folders, those accounts may be in an “offline” state now. Do Mailbox > Go Online to bring them back online.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library. -
After upgrading to the latest IOS version 7.1, in mail on ipad, if I select more than 5 mail items to delete the mail software package crashes and I have to relaunch mail? Anyone else noticed this?
I haven't encountered this problem on my iPad Air but this is what I usually do when Mail misbehaves.
Quit the Mail app like I describe then reset the iPad.
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. -
Can't get new Mail from my Pop-Account...
Hello,
I have a problem with Mail, as I can perfectly send but not receive Mails from my Pop-Account. The settings are fine and the problem came up suddenly. When I try to get mail from Pop-Account the application starts to load, shows the number of mails in the account, begins to count up the size and then stops. I can even see the title of the mails by opening the window of the Account, but Mail does not download them.
I would be really pleased if anybody could give me an advice what to do.
Thanks a lot an greeting from a German in Bahrain
JanHello and thanks to both of you,
I am using Mail 3.1 and the Account is coming from Strato, a German provider. Before, I had no problems neither with receiving nor with sending, but suddenly it stoped. I tried another account (gmail) that worked without any problem. Also your advice with SSl and the ports did not help . I Also phoned the Helpline of the provider Strato without any result . Also the place does not change - it neither works at home nor at work.

When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone. I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content from the icloud account and continue to use my email?
Yes, but be sure she is on a separate iCloud account with a separate ID before deleting anything. Be sure there is nothing that you want to keep on your device too. When you delete the data from iCloud it will be deleted from all devices signed into the account. Then you can delete the data from the existing account by doing the following:
To delete the contacts, go to iCloud.com from your computer, log into your iCloud account and open Contacts, click on All Contacts on the left, to the right click on any single contact to select it, click on the Actions (gear shaped) icon at the bottom left and choose Select All, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
For Calendars, open the calendar on icloud.com, click Edit on the bottom left, then tap the minus sign to the right of each calendar to delete it.
For Notes, open notes on icloud.com, click on each note on the left, then click Delete at the top to delete it.
For Reminders, open reminders on icloud.com, click on each reminder and press your Delete key to delete it.
For Mail, open your mail on icloud.com, click each folder on the left (such as your inbox), click on a single message to the right, press Control-A on your keyboard to select them all, then press your Delete key. Repeat this for each of your mail folders except Trash. When finished, click on the actions (gear-shaped) icon on the bottom left and select Empty Trash.
If you also want to delete your iCloud backups you can go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage on your device, tap the name of your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup. -
Delete all calendars from an iCloud account
Hi Support Communities,
did anyone find a way to delete all calendars from an iCloud account? It seems that iCloud wants to keep at least one calendar. We use several accounts and one is only used to look at shared calendars from other accounts. So there is no need for its own empty calendar. On iOS I just hid this calendar, but on OS X it is always visible. I unchecked it, but it would be nice if I could just delete it. If I do so on an iOS device it is gone, but reappears later. Trying to delete it on a Mac results in an error that it can’t be deleted, same goes for the web interface at icloud.com. It’s just a cosmetic issue, but I would prefer it to be gone altogether. Any ideas?
Thanks
BjörnI had hoped I was wrong, you never know. Well, thanks anyway!

My ipad and my ipod were both stolen during a robbery at our home. How can I deauthorize both of these without having them in my possession? I did delete the ipad from my itunes account.
