Trouble deleting mail

Why am I having trouble deleting some email, especially from advertisers. Mail program tells me it cannot delete and then I have to force quit the program to get out of it.

I hate Lion. Why does the same mail have to into so many folders. Mail in "Important" deletes fine. Mail in Spam deletes fine, its only "All Mail" I have problem with. No matter how often I delete it and no matter how many I delete at a time, it always come back. I did what you suggested but it hasn't helped. THis morning all the mail was back again.
Any way I can ditch Lion and go back to Snow Leopard?

I'm having trouble deleting mail. When I select all and delete it doesn't always work. Is there a glitch in this app?

Have you reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen? If that doesn't resolve this, you can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will not lose any data, but all device settings will have to be entered again.
If that doesn't fix it, your next step might be to backup then erase all content and settings or restore the iPad to factory settings. See how if goes if you reset all settings first.

I reckon it's about how you setup your mail, POP3 or IMAP. Could be mistaken tough

Trouble deleting mail accounts in IOS 5

I upgraded to IOS 5 and imported all my mail accounts even though I don't use them all. I am not able to delete a Mac.com account. Every time I try to delete it in the Settings section, it suddenly crashes to the home screen. Am I doing something wrong?

Deleting Mail from AOL Account from my iphone

I have been having trouble deleting mail form my email accounts. The only account that as been giving trouble is my aol account. I have other email accounts with other carriers and I have no problem with them. If anyone can help me that would be great.

Simple little fix for this, should get you sorted out, just has a lot of taps to it!
Tap as follows :
Settings
Mail,Contacts, Calendars
AOL Account
Advanced
Deleted mailbox
From there, I assume it has a mailbox checked. Check any other mailbox, then tap it back to the original box and exit out. You should now be able to delete mail again in your account. Enjoy!

Problems deleting mail from MAC

For the past few weeks (not everyday) I have had trouble deleting mail.
The message is"
Message could not be moved to mailbox "trash iCloud"
The IMAP command "UID Copy" failed for the mailbox "inbox" with server error: Mailbox is busy
I have also had trouble just moving mail from the inbox folder to other folders on my Mac.
At first I though it might be a cloud problem, but it has been going on too long!
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Deanna

I am suddenly having the same issue in mac mail. Giving me an error message "email name cannot be moved to the mailbox null" "Destination mailbox null does not allow messages to be moved to it" I have no idea what mailbox "null" is. This just started happening a day ago... Any suggestions?

I'm having troubles with Mail. Some mails (in particular to gmail addresses) are not sent.

I'm having troubles with Mail. Some mails (in particular to gmail addresses) are not sent. When sending an email, Mail apparently works for a while but does'nt sent anything. I repeated sending the mail with the same result and 2 or more mails in the draft folder. Yesterday I discovered that the mail had been sent 4 times!. Now I have the same problem: the mail has not been sent, it appears in the draft folder, I try to delete it but the mail remains in the draft folder. This happens after updating to Mac OS X 10.7.2 and migrating to iCloud.
I have MacBook 2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 Mb ram memory, Mac OS X Lion (10.7.2).

If those music are greyed out in iTunes on your laptop, are you able to play the music? If you cannot, it means that you probably deleted the mp3 file or moved it to another location where iTunes can no longer find. If they are greyed out on iTunes and cannot play them, I would just right click and delete it. Then re-sync with your iPad.

How to delete mail and trash in OSX 10.9.2 without opening them

How do you delete mail and trash in OSX 10.9.2 without opening them. I don't want to open suspect mail that might cause a problem.

I think you can just drag it to the trash folder. Otherwise you have to select it and press delete. If you have the preview window going, just selecting it will open it. So you have to have the preview window closed.
P.S.
I don't think you can get into any trouble just opening a message in Apple Mail.

Troubling sending mail. Wants me to pick another mail server?

I'm having trouble sending mail through my MobileMe.
I set up all the outgoing settings according to this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1152
But my email still doesn't want to go out. I've run connection doctor and everything gets a green light. Any suggestions?

I had a problem today, for some reason me.com had the mail message being sent from a different account than the one I used to create it in. I just deleted the message and did it again and it went the second time..maybe this helps maybe it dosn't.

Yet More Trouble Sending Mail

I'm having trouble sending mail via my POP account on ATT. It worked fine until a few days ago and then quit working. I didn't change any settings or download any updates, so that's not the cause. I've gone into preferences and checked all the server settings, and they seem fine except that in the accounts pane, the outgoing server has my user id mysteriously added on following a colon (ie servername: userid). In the server settings popup, the server name is correct, without the added colon. I tried deleting the server and re-adding it, but it still doesn't work. I know I should be able to get to the server, since we use the same settings on my husband's computer, which uses the same network connection as my Mac. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Nancy

It's now working again, after I deleted a note that was in the outbox. Perhaps something in that note was hanging things up, although I'm not sure what could be.

Delete mail from server after removed from IN BOX

I have a mail management issue I have not been able to fully solve.
I am balancing the same POP email accounts among the laptop using Mail (for home use) and my desktop using Eudora Pro (for work). Using Eudora, I can manually select to delete a message from the server. Eudora's manual deletions are flawless. Using Mail, the only option I can see that will help me do this is to select delete mail "When moved from In Box." If I hit the "delete" key, wouldn't that be the same as "moving if from the IN BOX?" When is the protocol actually carried out? On the next mail check? Immediately? Upon quitting and restarting Mail? I'm confused as to how this happens and why it does not seem to work all of the time.
Any and all assistance is most appreciated.
Much obliged,
Mick

Yes, deleting a message counts as moving it out of
the inbox. The commands to remove the message from
the server are sent the next time you check mail from
that server, but only if there are new messages to be
received from the server. Yes, many of us feel that
is a bug in Mail, that it should send the remove from
server commands the next time you check mail, whether
or not there are new messages to be downloaded.
Oh Gawd, I bet that's it. Yes, if that is the case, I would agree. It does not lead to efficient mail management if there needs to be a new message there. Do you know of any plans to change or alter that? Or has someone written an AppleScript of some kind to execute the command regardless?
It's a great command, otherwise. It's nice to be able to delete a message off of one computer and have it delete off of the server without any extra hassle.
Just wondering if there are any workarounds out there other than sending oneself a new message to get the delete from server command to activate.
cheers,
Mick

Delete mail from server when removed from inbox

I have a POP e-mail account set up. Under the mail account advanced settings there is an option to delete mail from the server when I delete it from the iPad inbox. I assume this is a valid option for the account since it is shown, and it is what I would like to do. However it doesn't appear to be working. Is this truly an available option?

I also have a POO account wit ph Verizon and experienced the same thing. Apple tech said that is a property of POP accounts and I would have to change the account to Imap for the iPad to be able to delete from the server.

How do I delete mail from the server using my Ipad

That completely depends on your email service provider.
For gmail, for example, you would do this as follows:
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > [your gmail account] > Advanced > [Move Discarded Messages Into] Deleted Mailbox

Delete mail from server

I use a pop3 account for mail. Can I set up the mail program to delete mail from server when I delete mail locally?

Not precisely. You can set it to delete when when you move a message from the Inbox which should have the same effect in most cases, but I haven't tested it to make sure.
Mail -> Accounts -> Your POP account. Go to the Advanced pane and check the box that says "remove copy from server after retrieving a message" and make the appropriate setting in the pulldown.
Regards.
