  • Trash Icon in Mail stopped functioning

    This morning, I could use the Trash icon in Mail to delete individual emails. This afternoon, it stopped functioning. The other methods still work. Any thoughts? I upgraded to 3.0 several days ago but the Trash icon worked fine until today. I have a 3G.

    Have you powered the iPhone down normally and restarted to see if that clears the problem? If you already did that and it wasn't successful, have you tried a hard reset?

  • Can't use Trash icon in Mail in iPhone after upgrade?

    Hello all:
    Have two mail accounts on my iPhone, both IMAP. Before the switch to 5, one was POP.
    At that time I could delete an email from either account by simply hitting the trash icon at the bottom
    of the screen, while the email was open.
    Now, tapping the trash icon in an open email brings up a d-box which reads: "Unable to move
    messages. The messages could not be moved to the mailbox trash."
    Next version: From the Inbox pane for either account: I hit Edit and select the emails I want to delete.
    Then I tap the Delete button, which reads "Delete (1)."
    Get Delete Message bar - Click the bar.
    Same message appears, saying "unable to move.." etc.
    My only option is to use Inbox > Edit > select email for deletion > Hit Move button > Under "Move this message to a new mailbox",
    select Trash as destination > Mail is sent to Trash.
    I do have my Mail prefs set to delete the Trash contents after one week.
    But is there a way with fewer steps to do this? What does the Trash icon do now, if not move to trash?

    I assume I only have to recreate the one that will not send mail...? The other account works fine.
    Should I simply recreate it, with the same settings?
    It is currently a POP account; lives in the server space for my website. Is that the issue?
    Or if I reconfigure it as an IMAP - how do I determine the settings for that?

  • Trash icon missing in 4.2 mail

    Anyone else having this? Yes, I have the right choice in mail account settings (Gmail). Must be a bug. Tried a hard reset. The trash icon showed up for a split second when I launched mail but then reverted to the All Mail icon.

    I have two mail accounts, me.com and a local provider who uses gmail. Initially I had the trash can visible on the me.com account and a file which indicated "archive" on the local provider account. I found that archiving a letter put it in the mail folder on Google. Turning off archive on the local provider account gave me the trash can on both accounts.

  • Moving mail to the trash icon does not delete the mail.

    I am using an iPad with OS Ver 7.0.2. Moving mail to the "Trash" icon does not delete the mail from the Inbox. This is not a problem on my iPhone. Settings are the same on both devices

    First thing to try is a reset: hold the on/off button and the hold button at the same time until the iPad completely shuts down, then turn back on.
    May not work, but often resolves simple app issues.

  • How do I change the "trash" icon to "archive" icon in email on my iPhone using iOS7?

    How do I change the "Trash" icon to "Archive" icon as the default setting in email using iPhone iOS7?

    That is very much dependent on your Email account. 
    Go to Settings->Mail,Contacts,Calendars->Accounts->Your Account->Account->Advanced->Move Discarded Messages Into.
    Choose Archive Mailbox.
    It may not be there if its not supported by your email provider.

  • No trash folder in mail, when I hit delete it says unable to find trash

    Ok, new Ipad2 version one (no camera).  I use Imap to a hosted website I own.  It retrieves and sends mail flawlessly, HOWEVER.  There are no other mail boxes there, only the inbox.  No drafts, trash, sent, etc.  When I hit delete, it moves to the trash can, then a box appears saying it was unale to delte message, click ok.  How do I create or "find" the other mailboxes?  I apologise for my ignorance, I have never used a Mac before.  I love the Ipad, this so far is my only issue (other than finding out I had no camera).
    Thanks again, special thanks to King Penguin.  Good on ya!

    Check the settings in your Mail preferences.
    Mailbox Behaviour and see how that is set.
    Still, the Trash Icon should still be there. You may have to delete your plist to get it back.

  • HT201320 I am the added e-mail on my wife's iPad.  I can not delete any mail in trash?  Thus Trash is collecting in bin.  I can delete trash in her Mail account?

    II'm having trouble deleting messages in trash bin in mail, only on the added e-mail account.  The primary account functions fine! I note several users are having the same problem!

    Hey BSK_AplSprtCm,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your Mail account. It sounds like you may need to configure which mailbox is your Trash mailbox. To do so, see the following:
    Mail (Mavericks): If messages aren’t stored where expected on the mail server
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14957
    If there’s another mailbox on the IMAP server (for example, Sent Items) that contains the messages you’re looking for, you can have Mail use that mailbox to store messages. To do so, select that mailbox (listed under the account’s name and icon) in the Mail sidebar, choose Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For, then choose Drafts, Sent, Trash, or Junk, as applicable. You can select any mailbox on your IMAP server to store draft, sent, deleted, or junk messages. If Mail can’t upload messages to a server mailbox, copies of the messages aren’t saved.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • No archive icon in mail

    iOS shows an archive icon in mail, to save documents. I have the newest updates, not able to archive. Any thoughts?

    Where are you getting that information? You can only add additional mail boxes if you have an IMAP email account and the "archive" folder is a gmail thing.
    If you go to your email account in the Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom.
    If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP. Only IMAP email accounts can create folders on the iPad. Any folders that you would already have in an IMAP account would sync to the device as well.

  • Two Icons for Mail on desktop e

    I have not clue how this happened but I now have two icons for mail, one in the dock, one on the desktop. I tired to move the one on the desktop to the trash but it will not do it. I get message that I can not put in trash because it is open. Even tho it is not open... any one know how I can get rid of the icon on the desktop?

    you may have dragged and dropped the mail app icon to the dock inadvertently. quit mail and if you do not want mail to be displayed on the dock, then go to the dock and drag that mail icon to the desktop, it should then "poof" disappear, and you can continue using the icon on the desktop if that is what you want to do.
    hope this helps

  • Can't find the Trash Icon in email

    How do I get the trash icon to show on my email on the upper right side?  Right now it only shows the "Move to another folder icon,"  the arrow for reply, forward, print and the icon for writing a new email.  My friends Ipads show these 3 icons and also the trash icon.
    I can't find any settings to display this icon on my email.
    Thanks...

    If you are using the apple built-in mail app , there is no trash icon.
    There most certainly is a trash can icon in the preinstalled mail app on the iPad. I mentioned gmail to the OP because I'm pretty sure that gmail uses an archiving system and no trash can icon appears in that account. Or at least I think that is how gmail on the iPad works.

  • Cannot Access Trash Folder In Mail

    Hi,
    I'm new to the Mac OS and have a new MacBook Pro running Lion.
    Whenever I click on the TRASH icon in the MAIL application, the application "unexpectedly" closes and an error message is sent to Apple.
    Just before the folder disappears I can see the deleted messages in the folder.
    Am I missing a setting somewhere? (hopefully)
    Best,
    Bill

    Hi Allan,
    First make sure you have enabled either POP or IMAP (depending on which one you want to use) in your gmail account settings page on the gmail website. Then make sure you follow the setup process correctly: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=81379
    Also make sure you set your username in the mail setup window as [email protected] By default it only puts username. You need to make sure the @gmail.com is there too.
    If the password is correct, it should work fine.
    Hope this helps!

  • Since upgrading to 6.1 on my iPhone 5 I have no way to delete email messages. No trash icon or anything. What gives?

    Since upgrading to 6.1 on my iPhone 5 I have no way to delete email messages. No trash icon or anything. What gives?

    Close out of the mail app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the mail app.
    Then do a reset, hold down the home/sleep button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for your phone to boot back up.  Then check your mail again.
