Messages don't delete

I use Mac Mail with Snow Leopard and I have Cox as ISP provider.  I have set Mac mail preferences in my Macmail to delete messages from server after two weeks.  This never happens.  I have to go to Webmail and delete messages page after page.  i have called Cox and they say they do not support Apple and it is a problem that Apple needs to solve.  Does anyone else have this problem?  I have tried for a long time to find an answer to this. 

I think I just answered my own question.
I had changed one of the settings under the "general" preferences tab to "move deleted messages to the trash mailbox." I unchecked that selection and now when I delete a message, it's gone.
But, suppose I WANT to keep deleted messages in a "trash" folder, at least until the next time I close/reopen the mail program (that's how it worked with Eudora). Why does a message that I've relegated to the "trash" folder still show up in my inbox??

  • Messages Don't Delete - the just get "dimmed"

    I am now trying to use Mac Mail after like 15 years of Eudora in Windows. I have also switched my primary e-mail account from POP to IMAP in order to make it work better with my iPhone.
    The transition is going reasonably smoothly, though it appears I have a l lot to learn, either about how IMAP works or about how MacMail works. For example, MacMail seems to keep creating e-mail boxes like "sent" and "deleted messages" and "drafts" in a way that I have yet to fully comprehend.
    But the issue I'm writing about now is the weird way that MacMail deletes -- or doesn't delete messages.
    For example: I'm done looking at a message that lives only in my "inbox." I delete the message. For a moment, it has disappeared. But then a moment later it reappears in the inbox, only the message header is dimmed. And then the next time I look, I see that the headers and messages are fully restored, like I had never deleted them at all.
    This is getting a tad infuriating, my inbox is now filling up with messages that I have deleted. *** is going on here?
    Why can't I just click "delete" on a message, and have it go away?
    Thanks,

  • Messages don't delete immediately

    When I select a message in the list view and click Delete, the message info turns gray but it can take several seconds for it to be removed from the list. This started happening recently. I use Gmail and have a very large account (multi-GB). I have re-created the indexes. I have tried to pare down my account be permanently deleting lots of messages.

  • After 3.0 email messages don't delete they just reappear

    I'm trying to delete groups of emails from my TWC Roadrunner account and they just automatically go to Move and then keep reappearing in my box. The only way I can get rid of them is by moving a few at a time and then deleting them or deleting them one at a time.

    Windows still has a command processor.
    So no need for bash.
    type CMD into the search box to locate it
    If you can use bash I assume your familiar with CD to change folders.
    One little thing I use to save typing is I locate the folder in Explorer, click beside the path so it changes to a C:\ based item and use Ctrl + C to copy it and paste it into my CMD session. CTRL+V does not work, but edit on the windows system menu does.
    To rename the files, navigate to the folder they are in and Copy *.wdseml *.eml
    once you do the import return and del *.eml to clear out the duplicates from the first step.

  • I keep receiving emails on my ipad that don't display a message, don't enable me to delete them, and are dated 12/31/69.  What is up with this?

    I keep receiving emails (about 10 - 14) on my iPad that have no message, don't allow me to delete them in the same way as the other messages I want deleted are deleted, and are dated 12/31/69.  Does anyone have this problem?  How can I stop the messages?  I called Apple Support and they told me iCloud was having a problem.  Help!

    Hi Kappy,
    I've checked your account, and it looks like you have multiple subscriptions. You have two for ExportPDF (one renewing in February, and the other in April). You also have an Adobe PDF Pack subscription, which is the one that renews in March.
    Since you have Adobe PDF Pack, you don't need ExportPDF. Would you like me to cancel both of your ExportPDF subscriptions for you?
    Best,
    Sara

  • When opening Bridge I get this message: Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in the cache preferences to correct the situation. I have tried this and still get this message. when I delete image

    When opening Bridge I get this message: Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cash. Please try purging the central cache in the cache preferences to correct this problem. I did this and still get this same message.Also now when deleting images they don't delete till I close and reopen Bridge. What can i do to fix this problem?

    Maybe a Preferences reset can help:
    Numerous program settings are stored in the Adobe Bridge preferences file, including display, Adobe Photo Downloader, performance, and file-handling options.
    Restoring preferences returns settings to their defaults and can often correct unusual application behavior.
    Press and hold the Ctrl key (Windows) or the Option key (Mac OS) while starting Adobe Bridge.  
    In the Reset Settings dialog box, select one or more of the following options:  
      Reset Preferences 
    Returns preferences to their factory defaults. Some labels and ratings may be lost. Adobe Bridge creates a new preferences file when it starts.
    Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache
    Purging the thumbnail cache can help if Adobe Bridge is not displaying thumbnails properly. Adobe Bridge re-creates the thumbnail cache when it starts.
    Reset Standard Workspaces
    Returns Adobe predefined workspaces to their factory default configurations.
    Click OK, or click Cancel to open Adobe Bridge without resetting preferences.   

  • Messages are being deleted automatically

    We have been using TB successfully on Windows 7 for a couple of years having previously used Outlook.
    My wife's incoming e-mail messages are being deleted after one month. They are also deleted from Webmail. The ISP says that they have not been deleted by the ISP but by a 3rd party program. We noticed the problem when searching for an old message. (I just checked using an old XP-enabled computer and all the old messages are there except nothing since June 25 2014.)
    I noted this morning that all of my sent messages have disappeared. For the moment at least they are still on the ISP's webmail.
    I checked our TB settings regarding retention and deletion, including those of 3 addresses that don't have the problem. They all look OK.
    Can somebody please advise on what our next steps should be? Many thanks.

    If you had pop and now want to use imap you need to create another (new) email account in Mail.
    When you start creating a new account, press the option key when you click the Continue button and you will be given the choice of creating the account for pop or imap.

  • Persistent messages are not deleted from JMS store

              Hi,
              I'm experiencing some unexperienced JMS store behaviour with WLS 6.1 sp 4. I have
              a servlet that posts a message to persistent JMS queue, which will be eventually
              consumed by an MDB. Even though consumption is successful, the message is not
              deleted from JMS store.
              The message will be redelivered after server restart and is still not deleted
              from JMS store. I verified this using file store and JDBC store. The messages
              actually stay in the JMSSTORE table till doom's day.
              I couldn't reproduce the case with WLS 6.1 sp 3. Exactly the application code
              was used in all cases.
              Subsequently I ran the same case with various ServerDebug DebugJMSXXX-flags set,
              and discovered that WLS 6.1 sp3 logs 'asyncDeleteL' and 'ZZZDelete' for the consumed
              message. WLS 6.1 sp4 didn't log this information.
              I'm running WLS 6.1 on WinNT and Win2000.
              Comments?
              b r

    I've am having exactly this problem with wl 5.1....
              I first saw it with 5.1 sp8....
              In the release notes for 5.1 sp10, the following CR was fixed, which seemed
              like it might have been my problem:
              CR 45915
              Fixed a JMS problem with messages begin left in the queue after received messages had been acknowledged. When a high volume of
              messages was sent to a queue and a consumer retrieved those messages and sent them to another queue, the messages were not being
              removed from the first queue even though they were acknowledged.
              We upgraded to 5.1 sp12, and it appeared that the incidence of that problem was reduced.
              However it still occurs once or twice a week, with 5.1 sp12....
              My situation is a little bit different, in that my consumer retieves a message, and sends another
              message to the SAME queue instead of another queue as described in the CR above...
              It does happen under heavy load, etc....
              Don't know if this has been reported and identified for wl 5.1 sp12 or not...
              It is of course a really difficult to deal with bug....

  • In Line Items if any duplicate reocords found don't delete

    In Line Items if any duplicate reocords found don't delete   catch those records and display in output as Warning message.

    123     2

  • Why does "message to _________ deleted" come up every time I try to text a certain person?

    Why is the only thing I recieve when I send a text to my friend "Message to _______ deleted"? I don't understand why it's doing that?

    It may be that your messages are set to automatically delete the messages after they are sent. Go into message then under settings   look to see if it says auto delete and change the program.

    Hello Emmafurness and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Have you done a device reboot yet by removing and reinserting the battery? If not, do so and then check for the folder.
    Do you have more than one theme installed on your BlackBerry? If so, change the theme to another one and check for the folder.
    If you tried both of these and are still unable to locate the folder, then you will need to reinstall your device software.
    Backup your device data and follow the steps in KB11320; before you restore your data file, look for the folder.
    Let me know how you make out!

  • TS2755 in the usage part of my phone it says 1.9Gb of memory is taking up by messages, i have deleted most of my messages and still no luck, please help?:((

    in the usage part of my phone it says 1.9Gb of memory is taking up by messages, i have deleted most of my messages and still no luck, please help?:((

    I found a post with this solution that worked for me - .Do a backup, then download ibackupbot. It lets you look into the contents of that backup. Look in system files>mediadomain>library>sms>attachments. I found a ton of huge files related to long deleted texts. ibackupbot let me delete all that old crap. I then restored the phone with that now modifec backup and Bingo! freed up 9 GB. No problems.
    But note, if you are not technically inclined you probaly don't want to be digging around and deleting back up files. You delete the wrong thing and you could jack up your phone badly. Be careful.

  • After upgrading to iOS 5 I have lost all my sent messages'all my deleted messages have returned ,2 of which I also can't delete!

    After upgrading to ios5 all my sent messages disappeared,my deleted messages returned,a couple of which I also cannot delete!Anyone any ideas?I am thinking I should have stayed with ios4,as ios5 seems to be pitched at iPad 2 users.

    Thanks for the clarification.    Yes, I do access my email from 2 different sources. 
    FYI, I use the POP mailserver as I need most of the information to be loaded onto my PC while on a plane / not connected to the interenet.
    The primary use of mail on my iPhone is to be available as much as possible - even when I'm away from my office.
    Thanks again for your help.   I'll start deleting them in segments of 100.......
