One specific email can't be deleted

I have tried both onscreen and keyboard delete keys, right click-delete on both open and closed email, gone into safe mode, tried to drag into trash, tried to archive. It is only this one email. Oh, I also tried to delete it as part of a group...none of them deleted, but all the rest deleted individually. In all cases, the green progress bar goes halfway, the hard drive whirrs a little and the nothing happens. This same thing happens when I open this email (and only this one) so I guess something about the email itself is buggy. Any ideas? Thanks

right click the folder, select properties and then the repair button.
If that does not work select compact from the right click menu. (it will fix corruption but that usually means mail in the folder is lost, so copy anything you want to keep else where before compacting.)

Emails to one particular email account will not delete

I have a couple of email accounts on my laptop. Emails to one particular email account will not delete. They do go straight into Junk but whatever I do they will not allow me to completely delete them.

I cannot find one specific email

I have tried multiple times with different email searches, but generally, I am on the street using wifi trying to locate the one email that I know I saw somewhere on the computer earlier. It's either archived in a folder aka "label" if gmail or filed if using Outlook. However, no matter how many correct search parameters (sender, subject), the ipod mail search turns up nada. Whenever I go onto my email account using a computer, I search using the same keyword for less than a second, and it appears. What is the best way to find specific emails in searches when I need them?!

Outbound emails from one specific email address blocked by Exchange 2013

Hi
We have a hybrid environment Exchange Online and are using Exchange 2013 as hybrid server. We have an application that submits emails to Exchange using SMTP and sends emails from [email protected] Since almost half of our user base is already in Exchange
Online, many of these emails which are generated on-premises need to be routed to Exchange Online. This configuration has been working for months. On 24/06/2014, the emails from this application stopped getting delivered.
On examination of message tracking logs, I found SMTP FAIL events - excerpt below.
ConnectorId : Outbound to Office 365
Source : SMTP
EventId : FAIL
InternalMessageId : 39560943768623
RecipientStatus : {[{LRT=};{LED=550 5.1.8 Access denied, bad outbound sender};{FQDN=};{IP=}]}
Doing a search for the error in recipient status did not return anything but doing a search for "access denied, bad sender" did return results that suggested a scenario when a user in Exchange Online would be prevented from sending outbound email
after having been identified as sending spam - see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-GB/library/dn458545(v=exchg.150).aspx
It seems our on-premises Exchange 2013 server has enacted a similar block on our noreply address which sends out a lot of emails. I have been able to confirm that if the 'from address' is changed to something like [email protected], all emails from
the application get delivered successfully.
I now need to find out how I can unblock our noreply address so these emails can be sent with the original from address.
Appreciate all help I can get on this one.

Hi,
From your description, only one email address can't send messages from the application server. I recommend you check if there is any transport rule on Office 365 blocking this problematic email address.
What's more, please check your outbound spam policy, verify if there is any policy blocking this problematic email address.
For more information, here is a thread for your reference.
Configure the outbound spam policy

A white box appears and cannot be deleted on one specific email web page.

The box is opaque, relatively small but annoying, and blocks out anything behind it. It shows a small part of a preview of any highlighted email message. If there is no message in the inbox, the box is blank. The box cannot be removed but changes position and size as the parent window is enlarged or diminished.
The problem is unique to the "email" window (as opposed to, for example, a full screen view of my contacts). It appears in both of the email accounts I have set-up despite separate log-ins. It is unique to my iMac computer and Mozilla (3.6.11). It does not appear when logging in, using Mozilla on my wife's PC, or when I log in on the iMac using another browser (Safari).
Obviously I can work around the problem, but would love to solve it.

I tried all the above, with the following conditions: - I cleared the cache but the box that indicates any web sites that are saving data is and has been empty. - I removed all cookies - I re-started in Safe Mode and disabled all add-ons - I have always been operating in the default theme. There was no difference when the email page opened. I then trouble shot all the plugins although I did not repeat the above procedures before re-enabling each one-by-one. I discovered that in order to open the webmail page, the only plugin that must be enabled is Shockwave Flash 10.1.85.3 . In Safe Mode once again, with only that plug-in enabled, with the cache emptied, with the add-ons turned off, and with the cookies deleted, the email page will open but with the same white box that has been plaguing me. Thank you for the try, perhaps you have another idea?

I'm having problems with my email contacts. I send a note to one specific email adress and I goes elsewhere. What is this?

I have multiple email accounts. Some are not real emails, but ways to share notes into specific accounts provided by services like Evernote, Springpad, Pocket or Readability. So you if I'm doing a spreadsheet on Numbers and want to save it in my Evernote account, for example, the only possible way is to send it as an email to my specific Evernote email address and its done. Seconds later I can check and it will be there. Problem is since I upgraded my iPad to iOS 7, things are a bit strange. If I share an email to Evernote, it goes to my Gmail account, and the same happens to my other accounts. I send to Gmail, it goes to Readability, I send to Readability, I get it on Outlook.com. What is going on? How can I fix this? Am I the only one? I'd appreciate some help on the subject. Thanks in advance.

1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
which will correct the problem...

2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
accurate.
3) This?
iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
point
4) Restore the iPod
5) Try these...
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
Up
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
posted for each one.
btabz
I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

IOS Mail Retaining All Email, Can't Selectively Delete Old Messages

Thought I missed something in setup for my POP3 accounts, but apparently not. Got almost a years worth of email on the device with thousands of messages, many with large attached files, and no apparent way to trim it down. Unlike every other mobile PDA device I’ve ever owned, there is no way to set a limit to how many days/months/years of email messages that an iPhone will retain. There is also no way to selectively choose email messages for deletion based on how many days/months/years old they are. Am I missing something fairly obvious here?

Webmail on a server has no effect on POP3 clients, like the iPhone's IOS mail. Once they're picked up by the email client, only the client, itself, can access them.
Email clients for more than 30 years have had this basic function. Absolutely amazing that Apple deliberately left it out of this one.

Create a smart mailbox for one one specific email account?

It has been a long time since I've been in these forums, I have to update my computer model, ha!
Anyway, I notice that when I create a smart mailbox, the specific instructions pertain to both my .Mac account and my gmail account which are set up in the Mail application. I would like to make the smart mailbox rules only apply to the gmail account, but I can not find a way to do this. Is this possible?
I would also like to only include messages from my gmail inbox in my smart mailbox, instead of sent messages etc.

you can't combine AND and OR conditions is a smart mailbox. I really don't know why. it's a big oversight IMO. you can do it in finder smart folders. you can try something weird like making one smart mailbox which satisfies the conditions you wnat about matching words . then make another smart mailbox with the condition that a message is in the first smart mailbox AND in gmail inbox.

TS3899 iOS 7.02 mail tool crashes on a specific email when trying to delete or read

I have a "No Sender" email in my inbox, and the mail tool crashes when ever I try to delete it or look at it.

Hi, Nancy.
If the email in question has a blank sender and dated 1969, I would recommend closing all applications in multitasking and power cycling the device.

If the issue persists, access your mail account via webmail and delete the message that way.

Message Tracking - Determing what happens to specific email

Good afternoon all! I have a situation with a client Exchange 2010 server. They have a front end/back end exchange setup. They are running this on Server 2008 R2. Mail is setup and working great. They have ONE specific email
they receive on a nightly basis. This email makes it through the front end spam solution, then passes the receive connector. In the message tracking logs I see the message is received. It is sent to a distribution group. Other email
that is sent to the distribution group will have a corresponding expand and deliver logs. This particular email does not have anything further than receive. No other logs to identify why it is not being delivered or dropped or anything. I
have run the following command to ensure I have the full information:
[PS] C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Scripts>get-exchangeserver | where {$_.isHubTransportServer -eq $tru
e -or $_.isMailboxServer -eq $true} | Get-MessageTrackinglog -MessageId "[email protected]" | fl

There are no further logs on this message. For those that will read the delivery status notification. This message is a bounce back message that they are not receiving. I did change the Default Properties on the remote domains, so that
Allow external out-of-office messages and legacy out-of-office messages is selected as well as under message format: Allow Auto replies, Allow Auto Forward, Allow Delivery Reports, Allow Non-Delivery Reports are also all selected.
I am lost on where to figure out what happens to this email after the receive connector gets it. Messages normally have other messages that show additional information; however this message just dies there.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Jason

Thanks for the reply. I actually started with searches for anything going to that distribution group. I used the GUI version, then went to the shell. Neither was able to produce anything beyond receive. I thought maybe the group was
not setup properly to get emails from the outside, but after testing from my email address directly to the group, I see normal behavior it expands then delivers to the store. With these particular emails, they only ever have the event of receive nothing
further. Any ideas where to look when that happens?
Thanks
Jason

Mail is automatically adding a BCC to one specific address

I have one specific email address in my Address Book that is having another email address automatically added. I am not sure if the unintended address is in the CC field or the Bcc field. It is always the same email address added.
I have searched the Address Book and Mail and I cannot find anything that would do this.
My Address Book is synced through iCloud to my iMac, iPad, and my iPhone. All devices do the same thing when I sent an email to htis one specific address.
Has anyone had this happen before?
Thanks a lot for the help.
Adrian

It's DEFINITELY a bug! My wife's name is "Jac" and every time I correct the address book to be "Jac" with no surname (or no Christian name and "Jac" as the surname) with in a day or so her contact is listed as "Jac Jac."
It's not listed this way anywhere else. Her emails to me are listed with her full name, not Jac Jac.
I just checked and she was in my previous recipients listed as Jac Jac, so perhaps if I remove that entry from the previous recipients of all my machines this might stop. But it must have started somewhere!

I want to change my primary email to my most current email but it keeps saying there is already an apple ID for that email, how do I delete that one so I can use all of my old information, just with my most current email address?

I created the apple ID that I currently have about 6 years ago and I want to change my primary email from my childish one to my most current email that I constantly use, but I think I accidentally created an apple ID with that email, I want to delete that apple ID so that I can just plug my new email in with all of my old information (that is still the same). I am so lost

I don't believe Apple lets you delete old accounts. They also will not let you merge them.

A while back I made a gamecenter account that was not associated with an Apple ID, it was with my email, now my gamecenter account IS my Apple ID. I want to delete it and make a new one, but i can't figure out how. Help!

Since you can't delete Apple IDs and having multiple Apple IDs can cause confusion, what you may want to do is rename your existing Apple ID to the new email (desired Apple ID). That would in effect do what you want, get rid of the old and give you the new.

Can I sync email between iPad mini, iPad, and MacBook so that if I delete email using one device, it will also be deleted from the other two?

You have to set up the email account using IMAP instead of POP.
What type of email address is it? Yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc?
