Do you not get that ?

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.

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?

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/.

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 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.

IMovie: Unable to "Move Rejected to Trash"

When rejecting a clip in iMovie, I then found it impossible to move that clip to the trash. Clicking the "Move Rejected to Trash" button had absolutely no effect.
I found that the reason for this is that I had imported those movies from iPhoto, where I had originally brought them in from the camera. Closing iMovie, deleting the files in iPhoto, emptying the trash in iPhoto, and then relaunching iMovie solved the problem.

Any suggestions as to what is happening?
This seems to be a periodic bug for many users. Best advice is not to import what you don't plan to use. Unfortunately, it is not always easy to know which is which beforehand. If you haven't started building you project yet, you can always select the entire clip in the Event and use the "Contextual Menu" to reveal the location of the file you wish to delete. Then, in the finder, you can delete the file, delete the associated "Cache" and "Thumbnails" folders, close the application, and re-open it. Re-opening the application forces iMovie to re-thumbnail the event without the missing but unwanted file. (Have not tried this after using any of the Event contents in a Project as I assume it might break the project path references and I have never been that interested in taking a chance just to find out.)

Unable to move messages to trash

New iPad. When I go to delete a Mail message, it says it is unable. No explanation. Anyone?

None of the answers already given seem to relate to my problem.
I swipe the emails I want deleted and they go to trash
If I then go back into the main menu the number of emails on the screen moves from for the sake of exampe,16 to 5 (representing the deleted number) but then switches back to the original number, 16.
Even if I go to the trash box and press delete all, they will disappear but resurface in the inbox.
Anyone any ideas??

Why won't it move emails to trash?

I'm trying to delete emails in iOS7 on my iPad, but keep getting message that it cannot move to trash, so they stay in my inbox.
Why?

There are a few things that you could try to fix it :
First try closing the Mail app via the multitasking bar and see if you can delete emails after you re-open the app :
iOS 7 : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the Mail app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
iOS 6 and below : from the home screen (i.e. not with Mai 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If the above doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
A third thing to try is to go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Then select the account on the right-hand side of that screen, select Account, then Advanced, 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.
