Unable to delete aol emails

I am unable to delete any emails that come to my aol account.I get a "unable to move message, this message could not be moved to the mailbox trash." I am able to delete emails that come to my mac or gmail accounts. Any ideas why I am unable to delete aol messages?

In Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > (Your account name) > Advanced > Deleted Mailbox - set for the "On My iPhone" Trash for a POP account, or "On the Server" for an IMAP account. If it is an IMAP account, be sure the correct server mailbox is selected
or
Settings - Mail - Tap on AOL account - Tap on Advanced - Tap on SPAM so you get a check mark - Then tap on Trash on the very top so you get a check mark. Now go check AOL mail and attempt to delete.

  • Unable to delete an email from a Gmail account in Mail

    I am unable to delete an email from my Gmail (IMAP) account within Mail on my MacBook. I get an error message that says there are no matches with the email. It does not show in Mail on my iMac or on my Gmail account online. I have rebuilt the mailbox, but don't know any other steps to try to fix this problem.
    Does anyone know how to delete this email?
    Thanks -

    Thanks for the suggestions. I did not find the message on my Gmail Internet account. I went into Mail Preferences, and used the Advanced tab under my Gmail account to uncheck "Enable this account". The account folders disappeared. When I restarted Mail and enabled Gmail again, the email was initially gone, but a few minutes later, reappeared. I don't know anything else left to do except delete the account and recreate it If you think of anything else, please let me know.
    Thanks -

  • Why in the world am I unable to delete multiple emails at once on my new iphone 4s

    Why am I unable to delete multiple emails at once from my new iphone 4s. I could easily select all emails and delete them from my old blackberry.
    The process of choosing one at a time and then deleting is crazy and very time consuming. Please help.......is there a hidden method or some add on I need?

    I want to select all with one button and then select delete all with another button.
    The iPhone currently cannot do that.  The best you can do from the iPhone is Edit, select the emails to delete and then Delete.
    Another option is to use webmail (browser) and use that interface to delete mail

  • Safari crash when deleting aol email

    safari crashes whenever I try to delete aol email. i've sent several reports over the last few day with no results. what's going on? i'm spending twice as long on email

    Hi fdftpoint!
    I've posted this in another AOL/Safari thread, so you may have seen it.
    Until this issue has a resolution, you could consider using Apple Mail.
    Use the AOL Services Assistant, to set it up.
    Good Luck!

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again.

  • Unable to delete iCloud email alias

    I am unable to delete my iCloud email Alias sucessfully.
    I have 3 alias at the moment. Two of it is correct and I am going to use it. The third was created wrongly(named spelt wrongly) and I tried to delete it. The moment i click the delete button and re-confirmed at the prompt, nothing happen. If you close the Settings menu and go back to the main interface, the alias itself is not found when u compose an email.
    BUT when you sign out of iCloud, the alias you have deleted will return. If you go back to the menu right after deleting the alias earlier on, there will be an error which always appears when i repeat it(report sent to apple everytime) stating internal inconsistency error or something like that.
    Now if you untick the box for "send and receieve.." for that particular alias, yes the alias itself will disppear from the list of aliases when i compose a new mail.
    BUT NOW there's another bug which comes with this - when i navigate to my iPhone's mail and compose a new mail(through iCloud, i had it enabled on my phone), the alias which i have deactivated just now still REMAINS and in fact i can even send email from it! So much for deactivation.
    I find it ridiculous to pay for support through Express Lane Support for this which does not belong to me(not like its a phone, duh), so i hope apple is actually looking at this and find a fix for it.
    And yes, i want my deleted alias to finally be deleted.
    PS: Im using Windows 7. Issue occur on both Firefox and IE

    I filed a bug report weeks ago with Apple about this issue with the iCloud Mail app crashing when one tries to delete an email alias. Apple has yesterday closed the ticket, telling me that the issue is not a bug but rather a "support" issue.
    In the interest of moving toward a solution for all those affected by the issue, I hope that someone who has access to free Express Lane support will take the time to see what support will do about the problem. Free Express Lane support is available to anyone who has purchased Apple hardware in the last 90 days or who has current AppleCare coverage. If someone does contact Apple support regarding the issue, please report back here so that the rest of us can know whether support reps are able to fix an affected account.
    Thanks.

  • I am unable to delete one email message.  No problem deleting others.

    There is one message on my email (hotmail acct.) that I am unable to delete.  When I try to put it in the trash, it remains.  All others can be deleted!

    Have you tried logging into Hotmail on a PC and removing it from there?
    It could be a problem with Hotmail.

  • Still unable to delete/edit email filters

    Still waiting for a solution for this problem.  Have tried three different browsers, including Firefox, IE and Google Chrome and each time when I try to delete an email filter under the preferences tab, I get an endless spinning blue circle next to "saving" and no delete occurs.  When I try to edit a filter, I get message "cannot save filters".  I spent 90 minutes two days ago with on online chat comcast rep who logged into my account and got the same result.  What is going on???  Thank you.

    Same here, it has been months since I've been able to edit my email filters. I cannot add new filters nor edit existing one. Nobody at XFinity cares to solve the problem.

  • BEFW11s4, added WD My Book Live, unable to access aol email.

    I purchased a Western Digital My Book Live external hard drive.  After I connected it with my BEFW11S4 and installed the WD interface, I found that I hung when I tried to access my aol email account, either using AOL's own software or using the AOL mail link on the AOL home page on Firefox.  WD knew nothing about such a problem.  I have had the router for years with no problems; the firmware is 1.50.14 dating from May 2004.  
    Has anyone heard of a similar experience or have any ideas other than spending hours tweaking everything and perhaps making things worse?

    Well let me know the IP address that you are getting from the router as well as what is the IP address you are getting for the Western Digital My Book Live external hard drive? Does the issue occurs with the Internet Explorer or any other browser?

  • I am unable to delete my email from my outlook account from my ipad.

    I receive a message stating unable to move to trash.  I no longer view it in my inbox, but have to log in to outlook on my computer to delete all my emails.  This is a gross waste of time.  How can I delete these from my ipad?  I have no problem deleting from my aol accounts.

    First go to mail preferences>accounts>mailbox behavior and under trash click "move deleted messages to the trash mailbox, the delete them from there.

  • Unable to delete my Email Account.

    Hi All-
    My office just transferred servers, and I have been trying to delete, or change my email account to update to my PRE.  Everytime I try to delete the account and add it as new (from POP to Exchange) I get the dreaded hanging circle for hours. 
    Moreover, when I tried to outsmart the system and alter my settings, it will not allow me to do so, and so I am stuck! Unable to transfer, as I get a "duplicate  account" message, and cannot complete my mission.
    I have reset, and shutdown countless times already. 
    Can anyone help me please?!?!!
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    I tried this as well but unfortunately, the folder doesn't show up on my PC.

  • Cannot delete aol email

    When I try to do so I get a msg that it cannot be done...but no explanation as to how I can overcome this...

    If the AOL account is grey out that means you are using that account as the primary account on the phone; when you setup the phone for the first time it asks for an email address, this is the primary account and cannot be deleted without do a hard reset.  To do a hard reset go to setting tap about and tap reset your phone.
    I would recommend using an Outlook/Live account instead and then use the AOL as an email account only.
    No need to shutdown apps the phone does great app management but if you need to and if you are running Windows Phone 8 just hit the back arrow till you get to the start screen.  This means that all open apps are closed.  If you are running Windows Phone 8.1 tap and hold the back arrow and you will see all the apps running and you can hit the (X) to close them.

  • I am unable to delete an email account/profile in the settings for Mail/Contacts/etc.

    I have 3 email accounts and on 2 of them there is the "Delete Account" red button at the bottom, but for one of them it is not an option. This particular account that I am trying to remove was installed using the iOS setup tool from GoDaddy.com, which is the host for my work email. These were the instructions I was asked to follow to setup the IMAP account on my iPad:
    1. Go to the GoDaddy website (full site) in Safari
    2. Type "Apple" in search bar top right.
    3. Select "Automatically Setting up Email on Your Apple Mobile Device"
    4. Select "Email InfoCenter"
    5. Type in my email and password.
    6. In email info center, select "Auto Setup fo iOS"
    7. In the popup, there is a link in bold letters, select that and copy it, then paste it into your Safari address field at the top and go to that site.
    8. Follow instructions and type in your password to validate.
    This installs your IMAP account on your iPhone or iPad automatically. So when you go to Mail, it is there as an option.
    The problem is that I can't figure out how to delete it!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    I found this link for a similar problem someone had with a Lotus Notes account. I used it to resolve my issue with a different email account (basically followed the same steps, and then looked for the particular account I needed to delete)... hope it helps!
