Why can I not delete junk mail ?

I have tried to delete all the junk or move it to trash,but get the message "can't be moved to trash"

Are you referring to mail in the Junk E-Mail or equivalent folder?
What email provider are you using, and is the account an IMAP account?

  • Why can I not send e-mails from my e-mail account? I can receive e-mails. Not an iCloud account. It is a Bell Aliant account.

    Why can I not send e-mails from my e-mail account? I can receive e-mails. It is not an iCloud account it is a Bell Aliant account. An account I pay for.
    This is the second time in three months this has occurred. Bell Aliant suggested I contact Apple directly as the only option is to remove my e-mail account and reconfigure it. This will mean losing all my files. These files are very important as my account is a business account.
    Bell Aliant thought perhaps it is an Apple problem and that Apple may better be able to remedy the situation without me losing my e-mail files.

    Sorry ?
    An Internet email provider losses all your Mail and it's Apple's fault ??
    Did they explain how the app managed to delete all of your mail and then not even let you have access ?
    If that was the case the app should still be able to access the empty folders.
    I know there is often blame and counter blame in these situations but there are limits.

  • Why can I not delete a book from my iTunes library

    Why can I not delete a book from my iTunes library. There are many books that I want to delete and replace with current books, but cannot remove the old books.  Thanks  Guy

    Hey cjt101,
    Thanks for the question. Was this song purchased from the iTunes Store? If so, it may be that your device is configured to show all of your purchased music that has not yet been downloaded. The following resource may resolve your issue:
    iCloud and iTunes Match - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iphb8d9fd5a6
    View only music that’s downloaded. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store. Under Show All, turn off Music.
    Thanks,

    Hi joyceannlake1960,
    In the iPad User Guide there are a few good pages that may help get you acquainted with deleting mail messages:
    iPad User Guide for iOS 6.1

    Page 44 has some good info on the layout of the buttons and what they do:

  • Why can't I delete my mails on iMac after converting to iCloud?

    Wel I can delete them allright, but next time I look in the same folder, all the deletet mails are back :-(
    I sync between iMac, iPhone and iPad. I can delete the mails directly in iCloud and on my iPhone but NOT on my iMac. Whats wrong?
    /Flemming

    You said you have a workstation with 4 drives, not a notebook.
    And you have not reformatted in years.
    Just clone Mac OS X Lion (and Lion Recovery) to anotehr hard drive with Carbon Copy Cloner.
    Cloning as a Backup Strategy
    Or backup and erase the DRIVE, like WDxxxxx and not your "Macintosh HD" volume and restore.
    Reformatting is a good idea when moving to a new OS and lot of changes to partition structure go on each time, sometimes even mid-stream of a version.

  • Why can I not delete old album artwork now?

    I was in the process of cleaning up my music library by adding and correcting all the album artwork, and now with this new update and changes to iTunes, I can no longer delete the old album artwork. Is there a reason for this that I am unaware of, or just something Apple missed?

    I don't what else you're experiencing with your Mac, but getting album artwork is neither difficult nor secretive. Yes, you need an iTunes account to use the feature, but you don't have to buy anything to use it.
    To get album artwork for your entire library, go to the Advanced menu and choose "Get Album Artwork". To get artwork for specific songs or albums, select them in your library, then right-click (with a 2button mouse) or CTRL+click (with a 1button mouse) to bring up the context menu, and choose "Get Album Artwork".
    You can also set your preference under the General Tab to "Automatically download missing artwork..." (iTunes>Preferences>General)
    BTW, this all works pretty much the same under Windows...
    Note that iTunes will not always find the artwork for an album or song, and will occasionally assign incorrect artwork to an album or song. In that case, you'll need to find the artwork and assign it yourself. There are several third party utilities available to help with this, just google "itunes artwork utility" or something...

  • Gmail "All Mail" folder.  Why can I not delete messages?

    i am new to the Mac community.  When I open Mail, I have a Gmail folder labelled "All Mail".  This folder loaded over 10600 messages from my earlier email activity on a PC.  Every time I try to delete any of them, the messages just load back into the folder.  Is this normal?.  i can move messages to the "Bin" folder, but they still cannot be deleted.  Are these messages taking up hard disc space on my new iMac?  If so what can I do about it?

    I have a different but related question re Gmail's "All Mail" folder: will Gmail get confused if there are emails in folders (tags) that don't have a corresponding copy in the All Mail folder?
    CONTEXT:
    In my Mac's mail app, I have several accounts (a couple Gmail accts, my icloud acct, etc.).  Thus far I've been moving mail from my main Gmail acct into my folders (tags) in that Gmail acct, to store them after I've read / acted on them. E.g., I have a folder for 2013Q1, 2012Q4, 2012Q3, etc. -- these comprise basically a chron-based, self-managed set of archive folders. I even started moving mail from the Sent folder into these folders.
    However, I'd like to also start moving mail from my NON-Gmail accts to that main Gmail acct and store them in the same folders.  I see that when I move a mail from, say, my iCloud acct, it does show up in the target Gmail folder, but there is NO copy of that mail showing up in the Gmail "All Mail" folder. 
    Is that a problem?  It seems to me that Gmail's All Mail folder is there as a master-index to mail in various folders (tags) ... so is it a problem to have a mail is in a Gmail folder without being in All Mail?  (I think the same question would apply if someone wanted to delete mail from Gmail's All Mail folder -- can it be done without harming the copy in other folders?  (An example that's not directly on-point: I've considered deleting those myriad drafts that get uploaded to Gmail automatically when you are drafting a message -- but in that case, only the final draft is in another Gmail folder.)
    Thanks!

  • HT1277 Why can I not delete an unwanted account on my mail? I tried right clicking and dragging it to the trash

    Every time i try to delete my unwanted email account it gives me the option to delete it then whe i click it nothing happens. I made sure i updated to the latest software possible but still will not let me. I have restarted my computer a numerous amount of time but still the same thing happens.

    Accounts cant be deleted dragging, use this way:
    Mail > preferences > accounts tab; select the account then click the minus button

  • Why can I not receive e-mail, but I can send it??

    The last e-mail I received in my Thunderbird e-mail was at 3:57am on 6/20/14. I can go to comcast and get my e-mail, but it is not coming to my computer under Thunderbird. Why??

    Close Thunderbird. Log onto the web mail page of your ISP and delete the oldest message in the inbox that has not yet been downloaded to Thunderbird. (Or move it to a server folder other than the inbox.) Launch Thunderbird and try again to "Get Mail".
    Sometimes a message with a malformed header can block Thunderbird from properly reading and downloading it from the server and that can prevent the download of the other messages in the server inbox.

  • Why can I not send e-mail to groups?

    Since I upgraded to Mountain Lion my Mail program will not accept group addresses from the Contacts. Any idea why?

    The linking is done automatically.
    If you are not seeing the same groups and addresses in the Mail application, the index may be bad.
    Follow the steps I outline here: After Lion upgrade, my addressbook does not work++
    Note that there will also be addressbook-v22.abcddb files in each of the subfolders of Sources, if you are using iCloud or other address servers. Delete each of those, too. The folders and files are still named AddressBook, but the Application is now Contacts.

    To be able to read ibooks on a Mac you need the iBooks app, which is only available in OS X Mavericks.
    You might be able to read some of them (e.g. free ibooks or those from publisher's such as O'Reilly who don't include digital rights management on their books) in programs such as Calibre, but the majority of ibooks can only be read in the iBooks app on iOS devices and Mavericks.
