Why do I periodically have emails that cannot be deleted?

I have a few emails that cannot be deleted and show up with an old date. How can I get rid of them?

I assume that they are dated something like 31/12/1969 ?
Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app '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.
Also do a 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.

Contact the developer of the app. Support for that feature
must be included by the developer when writing the software.

If you used iTunes to get the photos on the phone, then use the same iTunes and uncheck the music you don't want and do another sync.

EPMA!!!!! EPMA!!!!
I'm playing around with it to write a blog post and it is crazy. Only possible workaround (till now i'm not able to figure out a solution to it) is to copy the application and deploy it as a new one. Take copy of all objects (forms, tasklist etc). Delete the corrupted application and rename the new one to old.

Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

Also, go to Settings>General>Usage>Manage Storage and see what is using the storage

I have random excel files on my desktop that cannot be deleted. What are these and how can I trash them?

They appear as mounted DMG files.If you right click on them mdo they have an Eject entry?
Have you set the OS to Show All Files with a terminal command? If so take that off for now.
Look in your Home folder (Users/UserName) and then the Desktop subfolder under it. Do you see all these files/folders/drives?

I have emails that I can not delete from my Junk mail folder. How do I permanently delete them?

Weird.
Someone might stop by who has experienced/fixed/read about this before. In the meantime...
By "re-indexed my email" do you mean you rebuilt the mailbox via the "Rebuild" command in the Mailbox menu? Did you try that for all the affected mailboxes?
Also, you might try experimenting with the settings in Mail, Preferences, Accounts having to do with whether junk mail messages are stored on the server and whether they are to be deleted.
Does this behavior persist when you are not connected to the internet?

Quit Mail
Go to your User's Library How to enable the User’s Library folder
Scroll down to the Mail folder
In V2 > MailData do you see Accounts.plist
Verify permissions by doing a Get Info.
You(me) Read & Write

If yes, try renaming this file as AccountsOLD.plist
Log out under the Apple in the Menu bar
Log in and lauch Mail.
Do you still see your accounts? If yes, can you delete the gmail account now?
Repair Permissions might help.

Anyone besides me get an annoying popup that cannot be deleted/closed reading: FaceTime Password Please enter your password for "my e-mail account name" Never used FaceTime.

Dear Community,
Anyone besides me get an annoying popup that cannot be deleted/closed reading:
FaceTime Password
Please enter your password for "my e-mail account name"
It happened to me today for the first time since upgrading to Mavericks 10.9.3, no "stop lights" in the title bar of the popup, in fact nothing at all.
I've never established a FaceTime account. So I tried to delete FaceTime from the Applications folder on the "system" disk thinking this may eliminate the popup. Mavericks informed me "Cannot delete FaceTime as it is used by the operating system.
Is this a MAC virus? Or is this an example user community alpha/beta testing that Apple just announced?
TIA,
GonzoBernelli

That being the case, why then did the FaceTime popup even appear in the first place?
It's not clear to me what it is. If it occurs again, please take a screenshot of the popup and post it in a reply.
To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
When you post your response, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
The screenshot attachment option for this support site appears only on computers - not on iPads.
⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the frontmost window.
⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.
Drag the screenshot to the Trash after you post your reply.

I need to retrieve an email that has been deleted from my computer and iCloud, please help.

My mail preferences were set to delete on iCloud after 30 days. How can I get a copy of an email that has been deleted ? I have changed the settings to never now but that didn't bring any back. Thank you.

No, not unless you have the email somewhere else as well. It's kind of the same thing with my devices, I delete an iMessage but if I search it in search it pops up, but I can't access it.

Why are there 4 x emails that I CANNOT delete?

Hi lovely people.
Whilst pruning the emails in my Mail boxes I found 4 x emails that I CANNOT delete. They're grayed/ghosted and no matter what I do to get rid of them (according to the useless Mail Help anyway) those emails have stuck like glue! OMG why?

Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

Why do I keep receiving emails that I have received weeks ago?

About once a week I will receive 2-3 emails that I had received weeks ago. They appear as new emails and are not sent again by the original sender. The duplicated emails seem quite random.

It is possible that your popstate.dat file may have incorrect info for that email or some other corruption has caused it to go awol.
See info here:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Popstate.dat
You could delete the popstate.dat file and it will create a new one.
The downside is that anything on the server will be downloaded again, but only once.
'''How to access popstate.dat file.'''
make hidden files and folders visible:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
You can also navigate directly to your profile folder at the following path:
The AppData folder is folder is a hidden folder; to show hidden folders, open a Windows Explorer window and choose "Organize → Folder and Search Options → Folder Options → View (tab) → Show hidden files and folders".
C:\Users\Windows user name\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\Profile name\ Mail\mail account name
Easy way to access via Thunderbird after making hidden files visible.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information
* click on 'show folder' button
a new window opens showing your Profile folder.
*''' Close thunderbird now - this is important.'''
* click on 'Mail' folder
* click on mail account name
* look for 'popstate.dat' file and delete it.
* Close window.
* Retart Thunderbird.

Email Titles without bodies that cannot be deleted

Salam,
On my Mail I have a folder under "On My Mac" that has three email messages. The problem with these emails is the following:
1. I cannot see the body of the message... it shows blank.
2. I cannot even delete these emails... it just turns gray but never deleted. And once I restart Mail it turns back to black.
None of these three emails has attachments, HTML or can have viruses as they are invoices from three different software companies for Emailchemy, SyncMate and 1Password.
What shall I do?
Thank you in advance

Usually this condition and resolution means the messages had actually meant to be deleted (or moved to another mailbox), but the list of messages still contained a flawed reference. Rebuild would not cause the loss of actual messages still present in the mailbox folder, btw.

TS1815 Why does the artwork go black? - i.e. just a black square that CANNOT be deleted or replaced with the correct artwork.

I am really fed up with LOSING my artwork - I have over 66,000 tracks ALL of which had artwork when I added them to my iTunes - I now regularly find missing artwork, or a black or white square which it is impossible to delete or replace. I have only seen this since Apple went over to the 'new' versionof iTunes. Apple do not listen to anyone - why is this?

Hi HumeDoom
I have tried all this stuff - I replace the artwork (tried both deleting/not deleting tte iblack/white artwork) initially all looks OK - then when I go back into the track - it is still black/white. NOTHING gets rid of the black/white square. The only way I would be able to do it is to delete the albums and start again. I don't feel I have enough tine to re-install 66,000 (plus) tracks - as I don't know which of the tracks have become corrupted until I play them. I wonder if there is some limit within the program that cannot cope with the amount of artwork I have and starts to corrupt itself?
I feel that Apple don't seem to want to address iTunes problems - it has only happened since they upgrded to the 'new' version.
As an Apple user for a long time I have bcome very disillusioned with them in the last couple of years.
I updated my Mac Pro 8-core with Mavericks - luckily I had backed up my 6.5TB of drives - so was able to go back when I found that I couldn't use a lot of my softeware.
