I created an email that was unable to send via my gmail account (routed through the Mail application). i cannot delete it... it appears every time i open/close Mail, though at this point, i just want to delete it. no need to send the message afterall.

Do you use POP or IMAP?

Cannot delete phantom email

My wife receive email on her iPhone with no subject. When she tapped it, she received another identical email. She cannot delete these emails. How do we delete them?

Try closing out the Mail app. Double click home button, press and hold an app until they jiggle, then hit the red button next to the Mail app.
Load back into it, and see if they are still there and if you can delete them.
If you can't delete inside the email try from the inbox. by hitting the Edit button in the upper right, then tapping the email and hitting the delete button.

Can't delete certain emails from Mail. Instead, I get the message "An error occurred while moving messages to the mailbox, etc."

I had the same problem, and it was solved by going to the Mailbox menu and selecting "rebuild."

One more time, iCloud mail accounts are .me, .mac and .icloud. New ones are only .icloud.
iCloud mail is a standard Imap account that can be used with any mail client in existence. But You are talking about the ability to automatically setup an iCloud account in mail, which did not exist until 10.7.2.
You can use password or token authentification with iCloud mail (in Mail) it is your choice.
Set the account manually, set it as Imap, use imap.mail.me.com (no P number) for the incoming email and smtp.mail.me.com as the outgoing server.
The full settings (ports and security) are here. Use them and it will work, regardless of domain (mac, me and icloud addresses all use the same settings.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 993
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
Note: If you receive errors using SSL, try using TLS instead. SSL is required for both IMAP and SMTP connection with iCloud. POP is not supported by iCloud.
For more information on how to use this information with your email application, consult your application's documentation.

Okay, try this:

TS3276 Any ideas as to how to delete persistent emails from Mail?

I am unable to delete messages from my Mail box. I have a gmail account and have deleted these messages from "All Mail" and they still appear listed in my Mail inbox. The name is sometimes grayed out, sometimes black. There is no content in the email itself, just the name. I am able to delete other emails but there are about ten emails that remain. Any ideas?? Thanks!

Rebuild the mailboxes, and see if that clears the messages, or allows the delete to "stick".
Mail.app > Mailbox > Rebuild
Once you've rebuilt and then deleted the messages, quit and restart Mail.app.
If there's a web access path available for the mail server you're using, try deleting the messages from that, too.

TS3276 No matter what I do (Previous Recipients), I cannot delete an old e-mail address

I have one e-mail address, that no matter what I do, I cannot delete it from my list. I have tried previsous recipients, but it won't show up so that I can delete it. But, whenever I send an e-mail to this person, their old address comes up as a choice. I want it to go away.

That was the problem. I thought the only way to get rid of it was in "Previous Recipients". Thanks.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I can't delete/move emails using Mail app

I upgraded to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard and having problems with my Mail application.
The long and short of it is that I cannot delete or move emails from my Inbox. When I select an email in the preview panel and delete it, it disappears, but when I select the Trash folder, it isn't in there. And when I go back to my Inbox, lo and behold, it is back there again, as if I had never deleted it. The same holds true when I try to move an email from my Inbox to one of my iCloud folders.
Emails come in to my Inbox just fine.
And I am able to move emails from one iCloud folder to another, however.
And I do not have this problem when I access my email via Iphone, ipad or icloud.com. In fact, when I delete an email from my iphone, it gets deleted from my Inbox on my Mail app.
I looked in Mail Preferences, and I have one Account set up: iCloud IMAP. Is that right? I use me.com for my email.
Any ideas here?

This means that at some time you had the iWork ’09 trial installed. You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user. Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

Curve 9330 Cannot Delete Internet Email

I stupidly upgraded my BB last night and subsequently lost all of the unique Internet e-mail folders I had created. When I attempted to go into Settings > Email Accounts > Internet Mail Account the system begins checking for updates. I then see each of the e-mails that I previously set up. I try to enter the current password and verify/activate but BB never does it successfully. I cannot delete the accounts nor can I set up the account as new. I am stuck. I cannot wait to get rid of my BB but until then I need some assistance on how to get rid of the old instances and recreate. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello lhatchell,
We suggest that you contact your wireless service provider to verify your service plan regarding the issue you are experiencing with accessing your Internet email on your BlackBerry® Curve™ 9330 smartphone.
Thank you.

When I delete an email in Mail, shouldn't it also delete it from the PoP and/or Web accounts also?

More specifically, when I delete an email message in "Mail", it still appears in the POP (in this case Verizon) and/or the Web (MSN) accounts that I have. I then must redundantly delete the message again by going into each of those accounts. And this is vice versa. If I delete it from my Verison email, the message still appears in Apples "Mail" app. Why can't I get the deletes to sync?

Nope, Verizon only offer POP as far as I know so you need them to make the change, and good luck with that
Also please note that MS are having a few issues with their Imap service (it's brand new) you may find that deletes do not always replicate, but it is a known issue and MS are on it.

Your bad charger probably damaged something inside as well. Your hard drive directory may be damaged too.

Deleting Old Emails In Mail

I have a huge archive of emails from 2001 to 2004 stored in Mail which I can now safely delete to free up some space.
How can I delete these old emails in 'lumps' rather than laboriously delete them one by one?

You can delete your emails one mailbox at a time.
Select the mailbox you want to delete. At the bottom of the mail window, under the list of mailboxes, there is a menu with a little cog wheel. Choose delete from this menu. This deletes the mailbox you had selected.
