N73 defect: cannot delete e-mail messages

I've noticed a defect in the N73 which I'm able to reproduce reliably. The steps are as follows:
- Set up a POP3 account with standard settings (specifically, in Retrieval Settings, specify "E-mail to retrieve: Headers only")
- Connect to a POP3 e-mail account containing new messages. New message headers are downloaded.
- Select a message and choose Options > Delete (or press the C key)
- Choose either "Phone and server" or "Phone only"
At this point the Messaging applications closes. There's no error message: it just disappears and you're back to the standby screen. When you start the app again the e-mail has not been deleted.
This is happening on an N73 shipped in the UK, 3G version (with 2 cameras - I believe there's a 1-camera 2.5G version too?). Firmware information is:
V 2.0628.0.0.1
10-07-2006
RM-133
Nokia N73 (39.01)
I'd be very glad of some feedback if this is fixed in a future ROM version so I can get it upgraded. Otherwise, I have to say, a superb phone. :-)

It's not a problem with the (missing?)instructions from the manual.
I've already complained at Nokia and they've sent me a
formal mail with instructions how to do it
(and be assured: they were like you would expect it to be!).
After sending them a more detailed description on how to
reproduce the problem they stopped communication.
(So much for the good service!)
But this phone and the current firmware just cannot
handle email correctly.
The only way how I'm currently working around the problem:
1. Opening the mail
2. Deleting the (still opened) mail
3. Disconnecting from the mail account manually while still in the viewer; then email will get deleted.

Cannot delete 1 mail message on iPad

Cannot delete 1 mail message on iPad. Looks corrupted.

You could try deleting it by logging into your account on a browser. Otherwise try turning the account off and on and see if you can then delete it : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely and try again when you re-open Mail : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Cannot delete e-mail message

Problem, there are 4 messages that cannot be deleted. When the messages are selected and the delete button clicked. The messages disappear from the inbox. When you click on the trash it is empty and returning to the inbox the messages are still there.
I tried manually deleting the messages from the User -> Library -> Mail -> Inbox. But on restarting mail the messages are still there.
Other messages can be deleted. But, if any of the 4 that can't be delete are hightlighted now other messages cannot be deleted.
The computer that is having these issues is a MacBook Pro, running 10.5.2 and Mail version 3.1.
Any thoughts or ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Deleting the messages manually from the User -> Library -> Mail -> Inbox and then restarting Mail and in Mail Rebuilding the Inbox solved the problem.

Cannot delete e-Mail message in lion without opening the message

To avoid span or just not bother opening an e-mal "BEFORE LION" all that had to be done was to hightlight the email and hit the delete button.
Now with LION when you hightlight the email message it immedately opens the message in the right side box.
There must be a way of avoiding that, I checked Preferences, mailbox and edit but could not see anything that would delete without opening the email message.
I hope they did not do away with this feature, it would be insane,
Greg

Thanks, that works, lets hope they do not do away with it.
While I hope you are right about it not opening in the preview in the new format until we get assurances from Apple I will leave it in the classic format.
Thanks again.
Also my wife hated the new format.
Did you notice the changed the Adress book format ?

Why I cannot assess deleted Apple mail messages in time machine after installing mountain lion from snow leopard.

Ever since I installed Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard, I cannot retrieve my deleted Apple mail messages from Time Machine. I could do it in the past using Snow Leopard. The effective date for the the non-retrival of deleted messages is the date I installed Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard. Any thoughts?

It was origionally a local folder for things like receipts from the Apple Store, etc
I'm still not sure what you mean . . . is it listed in the "On My Mac" section in Mail's sidebar, like these?
Mountain Lion appears to have given it an icon very much like an Archive box and put the "on My Mac" folder within that "Box" on both the back ups and the new Mail program - in fact it did it 6 times, which was the origional problem.
Can you post a screenshot?
I could restore inbox messages although they came in as a new mail box called Time Machine rather than into their origional mailboxes (there are 7 different addresses)
Yes, that's how Time Machine restores Mail messages, so it doesn't erase the current contents of an existing mailbox. You can then move them into the desired location.

HT201320 Have an 'other' email set up on iPhone 4s; cannot delete or move messages from inbox. Help?

Have an 'other' email set up on iPhone 4s; cannot delete or move messages from inbox. Help?

Try resetting the iPhone,
Reset your iPhone by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPhone will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
If the does not work then delete that email account and set it up again,
Settings > Mail > select the account > delete account.
Take a note of the account settings before doing this to help you set it up again.

I have noticed recently that deleted e mail messages do not disappear from the screen. Instead they turn grey until I switch to another mailbox. When I return, they are gone. Any idea why this has started to happen?

Close the mail app. Then double tap on the home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar. Swipe upwards on the mail app. Reset the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. Once the phone reboots, try opening mail and see if this returns.

I am trying to free up room on my hard drive but keep getting the following message. “926540.emlx” couldn’t be copied to “Messages” because an item with the same name already exists. 926540.emix is the number given to the email I want to delete.

Why do I have to delete a mail message three times?

I've been meaning to ask about this for some time, so the problem is not new, but whenever I want to delete a mail from the inbox, I delete it, then I have to delete it from the Mail trash, then I have to delete it a third time from Mail- On My Mac.
I don't mind deleting twice, I understand that messages get moved into a trash folder (and it's good that they're there in case you need to reference them occasionally), but i'd really like to not have to delete the third time.
Thanks
Bruce

Why would it go to On my mac?do you have a rule setup so it redirects your mail from inbox to some folder residing in your On my mac?
