Unable to move email to trash on iphone!

Everytime I attempt to delete email, I receive the message that I cannot move them to trash. Any suggestions? This started happening after I upgraded to 2.2.

I found others who have this problem. It has to do with 2.2 messing with the Trash folder. The solution others have posted and is working so far with me is to go to settings, choose the account, go to advanced, go to deleted mail, then if it is a POP account, retap the on my iPhone button. I tapped somewhere else and then retapped the on my iPhone button just to be sure. Then erasing worked. If it is something called iMap which is guess is more corporate email systems, then retapping On the Server will reset it.

Unable to delete email from trash bin. How do I do this? If I select and chose delete, it doesn't. What am I doing wrong? My grand daughte is using my iPad and I don't want her to see some of the mail there.

There are two ways that should work. When you are in the trash folder, you can swipe on the email in the list - left to right - and a red Delete button should pop up. Or you can select - Edit - at the top of the list of messages and then select the message and tap delete.
Not sure exactly how this works - but if you have restrictions enabled - especially since you let your grandchild use the device - that may be restricting what you can do in the mail app. Go to Settings>General>Restrictions. If you have it set to on - turn it off or see if you have mail restricted.

I can't move emails to trash...I read comments

I can't move emails to trash...instructions on support say go to "advanced"--my ipad doesn't have any advanced on it?

Where are you looking for it ? If you go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and select the email account on the right-hand side of that screen, and then tap the Account line (with your email account name and an arrow to the right of it) at the top of the that screen. Then tap Advanced at the bottom of the next screen, then Deleted Mailbox, and under On The Server tap the 'Trash' folder so that it gets a tick against it - then come out of that series of popups by tapping on the relevant buttons at the top of them and then see if you can delete emails.

Iphone 5s - IBM Notes Traveler 9.01 -Unable to move messages to trash after a few hours

I have a problem with one of my Iphone 5s users. Everything was working with his IPhone 4S, but the phone died and so they replaced it with a 5S
We are using an IBM Lotus Notes 9.01 Server (latest FP patch) and Traveler 9.01 FP4 with the iphone 5 s.
On his Iphone 5S we install Notes Traveler... Everything works on it, but after a few hours we not able to delete messages on the IPhone. When he clicks Delete on a message on his Iphone, it comes back saying it is "Unable to Move the message"
If I remove Traveler and reinstall it, he can delete the messages for a few minutes or even a few hours, but then it comes back and says it cannot move the messages when we try to delete the email on the Iphone 5S.   The Iphone had   7.1.1 OS... I updated it to latest Apple 7.1.2 OS on it.. Same problem.   We also have an AOL account on the Iphone ....that works fine...      All other Traveler users on Iphones 4S or 5S users are working Fine...
I had IBM look at it. They did some testing and the email deletions only appeared on the logs when   it synchronized to Traveler, but when the problem occurs... it never did show anything in the Notes logs, about the Delete request.   They are saying it is an Apple problem.
I even reset his IPhone 5 S to factory defaults and re-setup Notes Traveler and after a few minutes or a few hours... When he deletes a email he gets the Cannot move the messages again.   I opened a bug report with Apple by never heard back from them. All other functions of the email work..   He can send and receive emails... He just cannot delete after a few hours. I ran checks on he email database and everything comes up OK...

That's odd. You will probably have to contact Apple support on this one. I'm not sure if their is a problem with your account or a server glitch at their end but in either case, they will probably have to look into it for you. You can reach them here: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

Can't move messages to trash on iPhone 5

I created a new IMAP email account on my iPhone 5. When I try to delete a message, I get a message saying ?Unable to Move Message. The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash."
I've had an IMAP account on this phone from a previous hosting service, no problem to delete messages. I have no problem deleting from the same account on my laptop and tower. I'm wondering what the issue might be.

Good day mate,
Recently, I adjust my settings because of the error message.
Here's the guide:
How-to fix this error
1. Press the Home button on your iPhone and choose Settings.
2. Scroll down and click “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” from the list.
3. Click your email account – it should have an arrow to the right of the email address displayed.
4. Scroll to the end on the settings and click Advanced.
5. Scroll down and tap the empty IMAP Path Prefix.
6. Enter INBOX in capitals, then click ‘Accounts’ at the top left and click ‘Done’ at the top right twice to close the settings.
7. Press the Home button and then re-open Mail.
8. You will now be able to delete or move your emails on your iPhone without the error message appearing!
I hope this will help :)
Cheers!

Cannot move email to trash

Another glitch in the Mail feature of my new iPhone5. When I click on the trash can to send an email from my Inbox to trash, I get a popup that says: "Unable to Move Message. The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash." And the email stays in the Inbox. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Are you hitting edit then checking the email your wanting to move to trash, then click move and hit trash?

Unable to move emails between folders in mail in its 5

Since upgrading to ios 5 I have found that I am unable to bulk move emails from the sent folder to another folder. I'm in construction so my sent folder has emails concerning about 30 projects, during down time I used to search the sent emails by one or two words then bulk move them to another folder. Under ios 5 I have been unable to do this. Is there a fix or is this something apple is aware of? This is on an exchange account and moving one email at a time works fine.
Also is there a better mail app than the standard one? Overall it's kind of anemic.

Hi James,
According to your description, it seems like this is a client-side issue more than exchange issue.
However, I also recommend you refer to the following methods to troubleshoot the issue and it may help us to narrow down the issue:
1. Try to create two new folders and move again
2. Try to recreate outlook profile
3. Try upgrading outlook 2010 to latest version
4. Try to move the mailbox to another database

Unable to move music and pictures to iphone 4 iTunes shows sync complete = nothing on iPhone

iPhone sync issues: unable to move music and selected pictures from iMac to iPhone via iTunes sync. Sync shows complete - = nothing on iPhone.

Well, you marked this topic as solved which I guess it isn't really.
You need to transfer the library with which you originally synced the phone to the new computer. A phone will only sync to the original library or it will offer to erase the phone for syncing with a new library.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to choose a library, then select the copied iTunes folder.

Unable to move email with attachments from local folders to icloud

I'm in the process of migrating my email to icloud. I've been able to move all emails without attacments from local folders to the cloud but evrytime I try to move emails with attachments I get one of two errors, either the imap server times out or it's unable to establish a secure connection (SSL).
Anyone else come across this or point me in the right direction.
And yes - I have been searching Google all afternoon and have not been able to find anything.

I do not have an answer to your problem but am interested in following this thread because I would like to get off the Mail application and do everything in iCloud. My problem is I have a ton of messages in Mail folders, on my MacAir. I don't know how to get them to iCloud folders. At this point I keep the attachments in folders on the HD so I don't need the attachments to come but I do need the message.
