Server Mail will not delete - tx.rr and Network solutions

I have an iphone 4s. My first iphone. I have two email accounts set up. Both of them are setup to delete from server when delete from inbox.
They are not working.
I have called apple and the pop 3 providers and neither can help.
I have tx.rr.com - road runner and Network Solutions (company I have a domain name with).
BOTH of these have worked corectly with my last two phones, Blackberry and Samsung Epic. But neither are working with the iphone.
Is anyone else having this issue or suggestions on what to try.
Of course I want to get apple and road runner on the same call so I don't keep getting sent back an forth to each one.
I REALLY want to be able to delete from the phone as I get so many emails due to my personal business...I want to be able to delete all day long and not have to go home and read/delete again.

Yes, it was definitely within Cyrus. The Apple interfaces are pretty and all but they didn't even get close to helping me solve this easily.
Essentially, what I did was download all the emails from the server (to make sure I didn't miss anything), rename my email folder to something different to preserve the emails in case I really did miss something, then do a recover on the mailbox.
Being a UNIX-head, here's what I did on the server:
cd /var/spool/imap/user
mv scott scott.dead
sudo /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/reconstruct -r user/scott
Sudo, of course, prompted me for the superuser password but everything was fixed right away after that. It is recommended to shut down the mail service from inside the Server Admin program first.

HT1338 My mail will not delete. When I move it to trash and then delete it within a few minutes it has all bounced back in again. Checked my preference settings and all seems to be in order. Any ideas how to resolve this frustrating problem?

That sounds like a compatibility issue with an add-on that you have installed, as reported by a number of users in both Firefox 22 and Firefox 23 over the last couple of months. If you would provide a listing of your installed extensions ''(as you were prompted to do when creating this thread)'' maybe one of us can advise you which extension is the mot likely culprit. You will need to re-install Firefox 23 to do further diagnostic testing.
As far as the compatibility of Firefox 23 and Win XP SP3, Mozilla has verified they are compatible and not one user ''(including me on two separate PC's)'' has reported a problem with compatibility.

The amount of RAM is not dependant on the operating system. It is all about the model of you Mac.
10.6.8 is the version of OS X that is installed on your system. It has no real baring on the amount of RAM that CAN be installed.
Personally I have never had good luck with Corsair RAM. I have always had good luck with Crucial and Kingston.

Mail will not open from dock and wont allow me to shut down, Help?

My mail will not open from the dock and if I try and close my computer it is prevented by the application mail being open. Help please.

You can try to Force Quit the Mail application by using the keys OPTION COMMAND ESC, from the window that pops up select Mail and clcik force quit.
Have you tried launching Mail from your Applications folder? It launches properly, drag the icon off the dock, it should vanish in a puff of smoke, you can then go to the Applcations folder and drag the Mail icon back to the dock to create a new shortcut.

Mail will not delete any messages

I have a 10.5.6 server running my mail services. I have a 10.5.6 client checking it. I currently have over 4,000 messages in my inbox and they all get downloaded when I check my mail. If I go to the account preferences in Mail.app and tell it to delete all the messages, they are not deleted. If I go to Get Account Info in Mail.app, I can see all the messages on the server. If I try to delete any of them, they're never deleted.
Now, to get more technical. I telnet into 110 on my server and user the user/pass commands to log into the POP server. Doing a "list" shows how many messages I have and how large they are.
Let's say the last one is 4133 (which it is). I do "dele 4133" to remove the message, then another "list". It shows the message is deleted. I quit out of the pop server, log back in and the same message is there.
Seeing all this, I know the messages aren't getting deleted.
Any ideas why? I have to disable my email until I get this resolved. I currently have 170,000 messages in my client's junk folder (fun times deleting those).

Server mail does not delete mail queue

mail server does not delete mail queue.

Apparently, Mail sometimes fails to remove messages from the server when Remove copy from server is set to Right away -- don’t know why.
I can only guess Mail sometimes has problems communicating with the server, and precisely because the setting is Right away, never tries again. I’d try changing the setting to After one day or When moved from Inbox, and see whether that makes a difference.
Also, go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
Have you checked whether Thunderbird does remove the messages from that server?
BTW, woodie is wrong. It’s true that Gmail ignores any requests to delete messages from the server made by a POP client, but it doesn’t let the same messages to be downloaded more than once via POP either. Gmail just doesn’t work like a normal POP server would.

Yahoo mail will not delete

hi. at first, i thought i might have had a problem with the current version of firefox i had. So....i uninstalled firefox and cleaned up my system. i then proceeded to re-install firefox to the most current version which i believe is 5. so...my problem??? i seem to have trouble when using yahoo mail. for some reason...when i try to delete several emails at once by checking off the boxes next to the emails it cant be completed. sort of like the action is not able to be processed. then....if i try to go back into other aspects of yahoo mail....that will not work either so I just end up shutting down firefox all together. funny...this is the first time i have ever had a problem with firefox. i can tell you this. the computer i am using is for the most part new and i do have a good deal of knowledge of how computers work and what to do verses what you probably should not do with them. my computer is well protected with the most widely used anti virus ( AVAST ) and i am not using any fire walls. what on earth could be going on that would cause yahoo mail to crash? thanks to all whom try to help me. oh..one more thing...i checked on my other internet portals to see if this same problem occurred there and that was not the case. the problem is only present when using firefox. hope some one can explain this phenomenon....err...problem.
thanks for your time and expertise. Ryan from long island NY

Messages in "Mail" will not delete.

Hello, I had some troubles with my Mail application and seemed to have sorted it out, but I am unable to delete any messages. I highlight to delete and they dissapear but then they pop back within seconds. I have even used "erase mailbox" from the drop down menu and they all dissapear and then reappear again.
I've done a full system restore to see if I could fix the bug that way and it did nothing for Mail.

I had the same question. The answers I received here did not work. My son found this for me and it worked! I am now receiving mail for the first time in a week and the recovered messages file is now gone - previously, each time I deleted it, it reappeared within seconds.

Please follow below steps.
1.Take your gmail account offline from Mail and delete the recovered messages folder.
2. Download the widget to show the hidden files from http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/developer/hiddenfiles.html
3. Go to UserName/Library/Mail/IMAP-<username>@[email protected]/.OfflineCache
4. Delete all the data under .OfflineCache folder - DO NOT DELETE the folder.
5. Close Mail application and reopen.
This should do the job.
Best regards,
Aadi

Mail will not delete content of RSS feed in Snow Leopard OSX Mail Update

I have 2 RSS feeds that subscribe to in Safari and read in Mail. When I delete a link in the feed in Mail and they go to the Trash - all of the links reappear when I relaunch Mail ... the same link reappears in the RSS feed. I have deleted the links, quit Mail, re-subscribed to the RSS feed in Safari - but it still happens. It is as if you can never delete the links in the RSS feed. Did not have this problem prior to updating to Snow Leopard. Anyone know whey that is? Or is the RSS feature in Safari just poorly designed and inadequate?

The whole point is to use fewer apps if possible.
That said, anyone know how to copy/export the RSS feed addresses from within Apple Mail?

Mail will not delete OS 10.6.8

I recently deleted around 3,000 sent emails in my Mac account. Then I emptied the trash. Now I get this message: The message “Name of file” could not be moved to the mailbox “Trash — Kristi Work”. I can't move any emails to the trash. Not even from my junk folder. I restarted twice. Can I reinstall Mail 4.5 or rebuild the mail box?

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, 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 at the top of the screen. (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. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

My address book on my laptop will not delete old addresses and willl not accept new addresses how do I fix that?

I did receive a fix some time ago from a generous person but due to my age 75 the answer was Greek to me. So the problem still stands - could the instructions be posted once again?

Yahoo mail will not accept password on new iphone 5

Yahoo mail will not accept my password and load e-mails. What to do?

I e-mailed Yahoo for help with Yahoo mail and was given the following instructions: Remove Yahoo account from your iPhone, turn the phone off and back on, and then re-add to trigger a re-sync on your Yahoo acccount. This worked with no problem!! I was also given a link for a Yahoo Help article which I have included below. For those of you who are having issues, I hope this solves them!

Well, you don't say what happens when you try to delete the account. So I don't know what else to recommend. However, if your phone is not charging, is that the mains charger or the computer USB? Also, if it not showing any change to battery percentage, then something is wrong with the software. The next step in user troubleshooting after the reset is a restore from backup. However, considering the condition of the phone right now, I would be more than willing to say your backup is going to be corrupt. But you can try. If that does not fix the device, then you restore as new, not from a backup. If the phone works, then you can try restoring the backup again, but if it messes up, you are going to have to restore as new again. If the restore as new does not work, then you need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar or Authorized Apple Service Provider to get the hardware checked.
