Unable to delete certain questionable messages

Greetings,
I am at a loss. I have searched for answers under several difference questions, using several terms and reading several threads, but I have not found a solution to my problem.
What I was doing when the problem appeared: I was organizing mail from my IN box into several mailbox folders and deleting several messages.
Then all of a sudden several (7) messages appeared in my IN box with the same sender and subject, but different dates and times. I have since discovered several additional messages in 3 mailbox folders and one in my drafts folder.
What is happening: I can delete the messages, but they come back. For example, I delete the 7 messages from the IN box, then I click into another mailbox. When I come back to the IN box the messages are there again, but there are also "copies" in the trash box. If I delete them again they appear again with even more copies in the trash box.
The messages in the IN box are completely void of any content; no header info nor message. However the messages in the mailbox folders seem to have replaced the sender and subject of existing messages in the list view, but when I open the message the original info is displayed.
I would love to clean these messages out of my mail without losing all of my other messages.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
jon

Ernie,
Thank you for responding. I did drag all the messages that I kept to the different mailbox folders. Those I trashed I simply selected and pressed DELETE.
I have 4 e-mail accounts that Mail retrieves from. 1 personal; 2 business; 1 educational. The personal and business accounts are all POP accounts. They are all through my ISP at SBC/AT&T. The educational account is an IMAP account, but has been inactive for 18 months or so, since the last class is took at our local community college. This account is hosted by the college.
I look forward to your answer.
Thank you
jon

Can somebody tell me why recently I am unable to delete e-mail messages on my I-Pod?

For some reason I am unable to delete certain e-mail messages in my hotmail account. Then when I delete other e-mail messages they re-appear when I check for my mail. Can anybody tell me why this is happening?

Try logging into the account on webmail and delete them their. Then try deletiong from the iPod.
Also try a reset, nothing is lost except hopefully the emails.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Unable to open certain email messages

Hi,
I've configured my gmail account on nokia messaging on my 5800 XM. I get notified on new email and I've been able to get my emails as well.
But there is this weird problem with certain emails. When I click on the email, it retrieves the message switches to open that email, but immediately switches back to the list of emails. I've tried a lot of times, but this seems to happen consistently for some emails. Is there any reason why I'm unable to open certain emails?
(I don't really see anything special about these emails that don't open)

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.

#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

In case anyone has a suggestion ... thank you in advance

ok, what does happen when you try to delete one of them... are they email messages?
Are you deleting only only on the handheld or on the server also?

Unable to Delete Aps: Error Message Indicates Memory is Full!!!

I have a new Palm Pre [Sprint] and have added zero aps to those already installed. I wanted to add one photo ap which would enable me to more accurately determine depth of field.
However, the error message indicates there is not enough available space and that I must delete files and/or existing aps.
I have added no additional files and thus cannot delete them.
I am more than willing to delete several useless [to me] aps but when following the procedure outlined in the directions they cannot be deleted.
Help!

Hello and welcome to the forums;
Have you tried downloading any other apps? If not, try and see if you get the same error. Try restarting your device by holding down the power button and moving the ringer mute switch next to it back and forth 3 times. Then let go of the power button, your device will restart. Try downloading apps again.
If you still run into the same problem for all apps, I recommend calling our technical support department. You may need to partial/full erase or use our webOS doctor to fully resolve the issue.
If the problem is just with the single app, you may want to file a bug report to the developer by going to the app, tapping on Report a Problem, and file a Bug with a good description of your issue.
Hope this helps,

Unable to delete some mail messages.

My inbox is filled with messages marked No sender, No message. I can't delete them. Can someone help me out. I need to get rid of them.
Thanks very much.

Close the mail app and reboot your iPad.
Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the mail app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
See if they have gone away or of you can delete them now.

How to reset your Apple ID password.
Go to iforgot.apple.com and type in your Apple ID, then click 'Next'.
Verify your date of birth, then click 'Next'.
You'll be able to choose one of two methods to reset your password, either E-Mail Authentication or Answer Security Questions.
If neither method works, then go to https://getsupport.apple.com
(If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
A new page will open.
Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.
Click the blue 'Continue' button.
Select the contact option that suits your needs best.
How to reset your Apple ID security questions.
Go to appleid.apple.com, click on the blue button that says 'Manage Your Apple ID'.
Log in with your Apple ID and password. (If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email)
Go to the Password & Security section on the left side, and click on the link underneath the security questions that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'. This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
If that doesn't work, or there is no rescue email link available, then click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later.
Next, go to https://getsupport.apple.com

Unless I repair my hard drive every other day I am unable to delete songs from iTunes or email messages from Postbox. I've only had an iMac for a few weeks, is this normal?

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if it frightens you, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password dialog will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
In the dialog, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

How come I can edit/delete certain messages on Skype?

so as my question states, I can delete some instant message on my Skype but not all of them (I don't want to completely erase the entire thread but just certain messages). when I delete messages, I just hold my finger over the message I want to delete (I'm on android aka mobile Skype) and on certain messages, it gives my the option to either "quote message" and "copy message". and on other certain messages that I send, it also gives me the" edit/quote message" option but it gives me the alternative to "edit message" and "delete message". how come I get the "edit/delete message" choice on some messages but not all.

Looks like you can only edit/delete messages for an hour (60 min) after sending them. You can still edit them from your computer, just not from a mobile device.
