Mail won't delete

Since upgrading to Leopard my mail will not delete from my imap aol account. I get the following message
The IMAP command “UID COPY” (to Deleted Messages) failed for the mailbox “Sent Items” with server error: UID COPY failed Deleted Messages: no such mailbox.
It will not delete from any mailbox, be it Inbox, Sent, Spam etc.
Any ideas?
James

This often means you have a Sent folder already set up on the IMAP server but Mail is not using this one.
You must click on the "Sent" folder set up on the IMAP server, click on Mailbox in the menubar, and choose "Use This Mailbox For > Sent".

Running Windows 8.1 and Thunderbird, but Tbird regularly goes "Not Rresponding; particularly when I try to delete something. All Mail won't delete at all.

'''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'?

Mail won't delete messages from Iphone unless I open Mail.

I have an Exchange account set up and use MS Outlook at work. I do receive my email via push on my Iphone 4s. However, when I delete a message from my MS Outlook at work, it won't delete from my Iphone UNLESS I open up Mail. Anyone else have this issue?
I did change the setting of pushing my delete items folder in the mail settings on my Iphone. Still did nothing.

Mel,
One more thing to check on your computer...iCal>Preferences...>Accounts>Account Information>iCloud>Refresh Calendars:>Push
If that is not helpful, go through the procedures listed in iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar.

"Unable to move message the message could not be moved to the mailbox trash"

Hello Farrel Hubbard,
You can find information to resolve the AOL account not deleting messages in Nathan C's post in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1799112&tstart=0
To add to Nathan's information, here is some additional information that may help:
Go to Settings
Choose Mail, Contacts and Calendars
Select your AOL account
Select Advanced in the account settings
Select the "On my iPhone" entry next to Deleted Mailbox
In the next page you may see that Trash is already checked.
Tap on Trash.
Tap the Home button (or you can back out of the settings)
This will take you back to the home screen - at this point you should once again be able to delete messages in the AOL account.
The steps above have worked on my own AOL account as well as two others here as well.

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

Don't need the system memory or RAM.
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.

Apple mail won't delete a message on the server but my iPhone will...

Hello,
I have an iMac running the latest version of Snow Leopard, and use Apple Mail with an IMAP server. Recently, I noticed that when I try to delete a message on my apple mail, that it won't get deleted on the server or my iphone. However, if I do the reverse and delete the message on my iPhone, it gets removed from the server and apple mail.
I have setup Apple Mail as an IMAP account, and on the iphone Active Synch Exchange for the same account. I tried to switch the Apple Mail account to an exchange IMAP account, and it made no difference. Any ideas on how to address this problem - it is really annoying to have to delete the same message twice? Thanks!

First, before anything else, Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescirbed for most gltiches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
After rebooted, give the BlackBerry 3-4 minutes for all of the initial data activity to settle down, and now see if the deleted message function works correctly, and if newly composed messages will send correctly.

IPhone Mail won't delete messages

My iPhone 4 is showing several e-mails sent in 1969 by No Sender, and I can't delete them! They are multiplying! Help!

I still don't know the source of the problem, but after many deletions of the message in question, which persisted in my Inbox, I tried re-booting the iPhone. This removed it from the Inbox, and I also was able to remove it from Trash. FYI.

After 10.8.3 update, mail won't delete

I completed the 10.8.3 update this morning. Now when I click to delete mail messages, instead of deleting, mail jumps to highlight another message seven places away.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to correct it?
Thanks.

Strange! I quit Mail, then reopened it, and delete works as it should. Whatever was malfunctioning has cleared up by re-opening Mail. I'm glad.

Mac mail won't delete or organize messages once downloaded from icloud.

I am having issues with icloud and mac mail where once my mail downloads I can't delete messages or organinze them on my mac. I have to go to icloud to delete messages. If I delete them on my mac they just reappear again later. If I put them in my organizing folders in my mail then they get moved back to my inbox later. How do I get this fixed?

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
          Envelope Index
          ExternalUpdates.storedata
Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. ClickOK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

Mail won't delete. How can I fix this?

When I try to delete an email I get the following message: "Unable to Move Message. The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash." Eventually the mail on my new iphone5 will get full of unwanted email. Can anyone help me solve this issue? Thanks!

Try following steps and test one at a time:
1. Restart computer, right mouse click iTunes icon and select "Run As Administrator"
2. If that does not work, check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?
If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
3. If that fails or you don't see ApsDaemon.exe in the Processes, refer to following article to remove SC files:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
4. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

Address Book/Mail won't delete email address

I use several address groups in Address Book. I recently changed the email address for one of the recipients in a group after he changed internet servers. Although he does receive emails addressed to his new email address when I use the Address Group, Mail continues to also send emails to him at his old email address, which then bounce back as undeliverable.
I deleted all references to his old address in Mail (in the Previous Recipients pane under Window, and I deleted his vCard from Address Book and made up a new one for him with his new address, but emails are still being sent to his old address. When I highlight the Address Group in the "To" line in an outgoing email, only his new address show. Is there some other place that old addresses are retained in Mail or Address Book that I need to check?
Bob Winckler

Hi Bob,
Are you sure the problem is on your side and not theirs? Maybe he has his new email set up to forward to emails to his old address (for whatever reason) and it is those bounce responses you are receiving?
If that's not the case, try posting over in the [Mail & Address Book - Tiger |http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=753] forum - this is the Safari web browser forum
Good luck!

Mac Mail won't delete account

I am trying to delete an account from Mac Mail. It tells me it is an Internet account and that I need to delete it from the Internet System Preference window. When I go to the Internet Preference pane, that account is not listed and therefore can not be deleted from there.

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore is not, in itself, a solution.
First, empty the Trash, if possible.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 $ 2>&- | wc -l | pbcopy
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
The output of the command will be a number. It's automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste it into a reply.
The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

Mail won't delete or quit

Mac G4, OSX 10.4, Mail 2.1.3
Deleted some messages, emptied trash. Then they just reappeared in the inbox. Mail would not quit after this, had to force it. On next start, all the deleted messages existed in two copies in the inbox. none of which appear possible to get rid of. They just come back. Have tried rebuilding the mailbox, no luck.
Later discovered that the waiting wheel is continuously rotating at the icon for this mailbox.
Help!

Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
You must repair your HDD, "Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

Unfortunately, Disk Utility can't fix all that much, You must repair the HD, if Disk Utility or fsck should fail to repair it, your best bet is DiskWarrior from Alsoft, you'll need the CD to boot from if you don't have another boot drive...

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?
