What Became of Trash & Deleted Mail

Hi All, Just starting using, Leopard 10.5.3 & Apple Mail Version 3.3 (924).
When I used previous versions of Apple Mail there were 2 mailboxes, that now seem to have vanished with new version of Apple Mail, those are: Trash & Deleted Mail.
Trash is not in the list under Mailboxes:
InBox
Drafts
Sent
I have: repaired permissions, re-started in Safe Mode, and still, there is no Trash icon, and no mailbox for Deleted Mail and re-started in Admin Acct.
In Apple Mail Prefs>General>
"When searching all mailboxes, include results from:"
Each of the following boxes is checked: Trash, Junk, Encrypted
Junk Mail Filtering is not enabled.
Thanks for your insight.

LOL..when I first deleted an email, I found there was no trash can! Next, I looked for "deleted messages", but could not find them. Even looked in Trash can on the dock.
Did both an Apple Mail & Spotlight Search for, the emails, all to no avail.
I also use Spam Sieve, and turned it off.
This iMac is new to me, so, I had used Migration Assistant to transfer everything via FW. Seemed to be fine. All my prefs, files, folders, settings, etc. made the move.
Luckily, I can recover what I accidentally deleted by going to verizon.net and looking at mail there.
Thanks for your interest & assistance.

In mail, what is difference between deleted and discarded mail

In settings, mail, what is difference between deleted mail and discarded mail? My google account on iPad does not remove mail that I have deleted from account using other devices. My other devices and google accounts don't have this issue. I've checked settings for account and can not isolate the cause. I'm considering deleting account from iPad and then adding it back in to see if that removes the 1000+ emails that have accumulated. I don't usually use iPad for email which is why they are mostly unread on iPad.

this might help to understand
Collection Classes
Often we have to deal with a set or group of objects, or values. Collection Classes are important structures that have a number of methods that allow objects to be added, retrieved, or removed from such collections.
Objects can be grouped in a collection like sets, lists, stacks, or queues.
A set is an unordered collection of elements, from which any item may be removed.
A list is an ordered collection of elements, from which any item may be removed.
A stack is a restrictive form of list that obeys a last-in-first-out (LIFO) rule.
e.g.     a stack of plates stored after being washed, then used again.
A queue is also a restrictive form of list that obeys a first-in-first-out (FIFO) rule.
e.g.     a queue at a bus-stop, where the first bus to join the queue is the first one to leave.
An important Java Collection class is the Vector class:
     java.util.Vector
This vector class is a simple list of objects, which can be referenced by an index starting from 0 (similar to arrays). The components of a vector must be objects.
i.e. Vector: object0 object1 object2�lastObject .. spare
capacity                         ( size - 1)
So, a vector can grow as more objects are added. The size of a vector is how many objects are in the vector. The capacity is how many objects can be stored in the vector before it needs to expand again. When it needs to expand it normally doubles its capacity. The default capacity is 10.
e.g.     Vector v1;          // declare v1 as a Vector object
     v1 = new Vector();     // create a Vector instance

I cannot delete mail from my inbox and get a message saying (msg) could not be moved to the mailbox trash-POP account".

I suddenly cannot delete mail from my inbox and get a message saying " (msg) could not be moved to the mailbox trash-POP account". It does not matter if I am trying to delete a single message or mulitiple messages. Can anyone help?

If you're running Leopard, as your profile says, then you need to post your question in that forum, not the Snow Leopard forums. So if you're really running Snow Leopard, you need to update your profile to show that, as well as give more details about what kind of mail accounts you have, and who your email provider is.

Can't delete mail on phone, message says unable to move message the message could not be moved to the mailbox trash

Delete your mail account/s and re-add them.
This is what worked for me but I've read about other solutions that have worked for some people as well:

I have to delete trash in Mail several times before it is removed.

Sometimes when I bounce unsolicited mail and other times when I try to delete mail in the trash.

Did you purchase the Mac new?
You have 14 calendar days from the time your items are delivered to initiate a return as noted here.
Even though you are past the 14 day limit, if it were me, I'd take the Mac back and explain what's going on. Your Mac should work out of the box.

Having problem deleting all but one particular mail from the iPhone 4S mail inbox. I can delete mail either by the trash can or using edit, selecting the mail message and deleting. However there is this one mail message that will not go away. Any ideas?

I am having a problem deleting all but one particular mail message from my inbox. I delete by either using the trash can icon for individual mail, or using edit, selecting the mail message (s) and clicking delete. However there is this one mail message that will not go away regardles of what I do including deleting all from the trash. Any ideas?

I get that every once in a while on my 3GS, and that's what I do to get rid of it. Probably not a bad idea to power down the phone every so often, anyway, gets rid of any crud waiting to cause a bug.
Glad to hear that it worked for you.

Unable to delete mail from inbox. Message cannot move mail from inbox to trash. How do I solve this.

I am unable to delete mail from my inbox. A window appears saying "message could not be moved to the mailbox trash. How do I fix this.

Give your phone a reboot - hold down power/home button together for 10 to 15 secs or until you see the apple logo and then release, wait for your phone to reboot and then try moving your mail again.

Deleted mail does not appear in the trash can

When I delete mail from my inbox I can't see it on the Trash "On My Mac". I have set the trash settings to delete everything after one week. Does anyone know why this is happening or how I might be able to fix it.
Thanks

On the Mac without an account named Trash mailbox for the POP account under Trash in the Mailboxes drawer, is "Move deleted messages to a separate folder" selected under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences?
If so, the account's Trash mailbox is located in the account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) at Home > Library > Mail > this POP account named folder > Deleted Messages.mbox folder.
Not at Home > Library > Mail > Mailboxes.
The Deleted Messages.mbox folder within the Mailboxes folder represents the "On My Mac" named Trash mailbox under Trash in the mailboxes drawer.

Deleted mail does not go to trash file and returns to inbox

I'm running OS 10.6.2 and Mail 4.2. When I delete mail on my MacBook PRO, the message goes away, but doesn't go into my trash file. When I refresh mail, the deleted messages come back. I'm using exchange server, and I have no problems deleting mail from my iPhone or web mail. In addition, I have other mail accounts that allow me to delete mail without any other issues. I've rebuilt my mail database (mailbx - rebuild), and even deleted the mail account and reloaded it from exchange. HELP!

In that case, if the account in question is an admin account, you would just tack "sudo" on at the beginning:
sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash
If the affected account is not an admin account, you need to log in to an admin account and do this:
sudo rm -rf /Users/theusername/.Trash
...where "theusername" should be the name of the user folder with the broken trash.

Why does my Iphone 4s forget what mailbox I have selected for deleted mail?

I'm having an issue with my mailbox. I have a work email address, set up under "other" since it's domain based. When I initially set it up I have all the settings right and it works for a while. Then, it will randomly drop the settings. Most of the time it just forgets where to send my deleted mail when I delete it, so it alerts me that it can't delete mail. Also, it has a habit of forgetting incoming/outgoing information. I recently traveled to Europe and when I got there my phone stopped receiving mail. Even when i got back it was still the same. I had to delete the mailbox and start again.
My main issue is the deleted mailbox error. What could be causing the mail settings to forget that I have selected "On My IPhone"??
Also, a side question, is there a way to sort mail in the sent box by recipient and not by sender? Thanks!

Do you have a case on it that might be pressing your power on button or might press your power on button inadvertently when you touch it.

I have accidentally deleted the trash bin in my mailbox and can no longer move any deleted mail into the trash. I thought I was removing all the emails from the trash but somehow managed to delete the bin instead. Does anyone know who to reinstate it?

You are running 10.6.8? If yes, I assume you have your install disks? As the trash bin is part of Mail app and that is an integral part of the OS, the only way I know to get it back is to reinstall the OS. You won't lose any files, just reinstall the OS over the top of the current system.

How to delete mail and trash in OSX 10.9.2 without opening them

How do you delete mail and trash in OSX 10.9.2 without opening them. I don't want to open suspect mail that might cause a problem.

I think you can just drag it to the trash folder. Otherwise you have to select it and press delete. If you have the preview window going, just selecting it will open it. So you have to have the preview window closed.
P.S.
I don't think you can get into any trouble just opening a message in Apple Mail.

TS4002 why can I not see deleted mail in trash bin? I have clicked on "sent deleted mail to trash" in preferences!

Why can i no longer see deleted mail in my trash bin? I have clicked on "sent to trash" in the preferences!

go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Check if it works without Add-ons.
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. You can enable the Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

When I trash e-mails I have received on the iPad from Outlook, are the messages also deleted from the Outlook server?al

When I trash e-mails I have received on the iPad from Outlook, are the e-mails also deleted from the Outlook server at the same time?

Hello falconrig,
It sounds like you have some questions about how your email account stores your information. This article has some information about different email account types and how they work:
Mail (Mavericks): About email accounts
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14873
IMAP accounts
With IMAP accounts, incoming and outgoing messages are stored on a mail server until you delete them. When your account connects to the server, it’s synced so that the messages on your Mac are the same as those on the server. You can read and manage messages from any device that you use to access your account, and download messages or attachments to work with when you’re not connected to the Internet.
Microsoft Exchange accounts
These accounts are similar to IMAP accounts, in that messages are stored on a mail server and accessible from different computers and locations. You can use flags in an Exchange account with some limitations.
For an Exchange account to be set up in Mail, the Exchange server must support Exchange Web Services (EWS). Contact your server administrator for more information.
POP accounts
With POP accounts, incoming messages are stored on a mail server and are downloaded to your Mac when you access your account. The messages remain on the server until they’re deleted from the server.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling
