Why do we have to delete mail twice?

I know that many, if not most, email apps put deleted email into a Trash folder, but almost all of the allow you to empty trash --- NOT go back to every message and delete it again....
Apple, it isn't like you guys to miss something this annoying and obvious....
Please help!

Select your trash folder. Tap "Edit". Tap the red "Delete All" at the bottom left.

  • I have to delete mail twice

    Can anyone please explain why suddenly I have to delete each mail twice from trash?
    I highlight the mail. Click on the bin and it goes to trash.
    However in Trash I highlight and click the bin: Result the mail remains in trash.
    Click the second time and it is deleted.
    Not a problem, but I'm curious.

    It sounds like email is being delivered to two email clients - Mail & Outlook. Make sure you only have the email application open that you want to use, Mail or Outlook. You can simply quit the one you don't want to use, but it sounds like it might be launching at start-up.
    To prevent this go to System Preferences>Users & Groups>Login Items tab and highlight the app you don't want to open and click on the 'minus' key to delete it from your start-up items.
    Also, if Outlook is the email program you want to use as your default go to Mail>Preferences>General tab and select Outlook from the drop-down menu, then quit Mail.

    It downloads the compressed image, then it needs to uncompress it. The compressed image is large uncompressed it is even larger.
    You need much less space if you use iTunes on your personal computer to do the install.

  • Why do I have to delete a mail message three times?

    I've been meaning to ask about this for some time, so the problem is not new, but whenever I want to delete a mail from the inbox, I delete it, then I have to delete it from the Mail trash, then I have to delete it a third time from Mail- On My Mac.
    I don't mind deleting twice, I understand that messages get moved into a trash folder (and it's good that they're there in case you need to reference them occasionally), but i'd really like to not have to delete the third time.
    Thanks
    Bruce

    Why would it go to On my mac?do you have a rule setup so it redirects your mail from inbox to some folder residing in your On my mac?

  • 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.

  • How can I keep every single photo from saving to "collections""my photo stream""camera role" and just use one folder? And why do I have to delete the same pictures 4 times? In "collections""myphotostream"camera role""deleted photos" I need ONE FOLDER

    im sick of deleting the same picture 4 separate times, I want to limit everything to one folder and only have to delete one time, how? Why does this have to be so complicated

    Photos you take on your camera are in the Camera Roll and are like the film in a camera.
    Photo Stream is an independent stream of photos from all devices that are logged onto the same iCloud account and that have Photo Stream turned on. Photo Stream photos are kept in the cloud for 30 days or up to 1000 photos, whichever comes first, so unless you have a particular photo you just don't want to stay out there for 30 days, you don't really need to delete Photo Stream Photos. They are temporary. Your device will continue to keep your Photo Stream photos from prior to the 30 day limit, but if you switch Photo Stream off in iCloud and then right back on, the only photos that will re-display in Photo Stream on that device are the ones that remain within the 30 Day/1000 photo parameter.
    Collections is simply a single place which shows all of the photos that you have on your device. You do not need to delete photos from Collections. It is just a single place where you can see the contents of all of your albums.
    Photos in albums that you have created on the device itself are tied to the photos in your Camera Roll, so if you delete them from the Camera Roll, it will tell you that it will also be deleted from an album.
    Albums that you have sync'd from your computer should be removed the same way you got them there - by hooking the device up to a the computer you did the sync with, and un-selecting the album from the Photo profile screen.
    So, really, there are only two places that you need to delete photos - Camera Roll and Photo Stream.
    Cheers,

  • HT204022 When a photo that is included in photo stream is deleted from cameraroll it should ask whether we want to delete it from photostream too, shouldn't it? How do I delete a bad photo from camera roll and photo stream? I have to delete it twice???

    80% percent of photos we take are bad photos, we delete them later when reviewing them. Now the photos are in both camerroll and photostrean. When we delete them from the camera roll they do not get deleted from photo stream, when I delete them from photo stream they do not get deleted from camera roll.
    I want to keep good photos only in both photo stream and camera roll. How do I do it? Delete them twice?? What a waste of time.
    When a photo is deleted from camera roll it should ask whether we want to delete it from photo stream too. Otherwise photo stream is useless.I remove bad photos from camera roll but they all stay in the photo stream ...

    Hi JM,
    Even 20 days later, the answer is the same.....you have to delete photos from them individually - they are kept in separate places, so you have to delete them from both if you don't want them. However, photostream will, eventually, "delete" the bad photos, since it only keeps up to 1000, and then starts overlaying the oldest ones....
    Sorry....

  • Why do I have to click everything twice ?

    When is Firefox going to fix this?
    In every version after 3.6, I have had to click twice or "reload" the page. If I close the page and click again or reload the page, it immediately comes up.
    It is not because of problems in my computer. I went into safe mode and disabled all add-ons and got the same result. It happens on 80-90% of the websites. There are a few sites that consistently load immediately but most I have to reload the page or wait for the page to load which can easily take 30 seconds to a minute.
    I have a fast download of 28 and upload of 6. I have a clean computer, plenty of ram memory and have limited programs allowed to activate on start up. I usually have very few tabs open at a time. I've cleared cache and done all the usual things always recommended to do.
    This is very frustrating and it has to have something to do with bugs in changes of versions since 3.6. That version worked perfectly. These latest versions up to the most recent update have been consistently more and more problems.

    I'm with you RJ343, as an ex-software developer from the late 90's, I am appalled at the way Firefox has gone.... i recently upgraded to Windows 7 and Firefox 17 and it is disgusting the number of things that do not work,... and I have to LAUGH MY F**KING HEAD off when I hear geeks and nerds who are barely out of their cyber-nappies moan at me because I prefer 3.6 and they can't understand why i don't love the latest version... SIMPLES > because they are so full of bugs and workarounds and stupid add-ons I have to install just to go "back" to 3.6 and its glorious feature set that has since been ripped apart and hacked to smithereens and replaced with dodgy , sh*te alternatives that I'm supposed to adore ? Same with XP, I am still using it and will continue to use it until MS deliver something of quality that the users want, not what they want to force on me....
    SO back to the topic -- I landed on this page because I have noticed that in FF17 I have to keep clicking everything TWICE, to get the page to load. It happens everywhere, it's as though the focus is not set properly, and the 1st click sets that, and then I have to click again to execute. Certainly I have just registered in order to write this post, I deem it that important, and now that I am , I will have to start replying and posting the myriad of other failures by FF development team in their latest versions,.... what I find the most insulting as I mentioned, is this indoctrination that I HAVE to use the latest versions over the old, tried & tested products like 3.6, because FF will withdraw support or add-ons stop working for the old versions. I wouldn't mind, if the new versions weren't such a croc of shoite and actually worked.
    THIS BUG must be one of the most basic and incompetent of them all. Why do I have to bloody Double-click everything ??? !
    ''"3.6 was almost universally liked by everybody"'' - yes, because it was tried & tested.... obviously the latest generation of developers never heard of the old adage, "If its not broken, don't fix it"... and don't gimme all that crap about security vulnerability,.... that's just an extension of the War on Terror..... Fear is too widely traded for Functionality, and good solid TESTING , which seems to be a thing of the past. The software industry is in a crisis and soon there will be nothing that works and we will all hark back to XP and FF 3.6 as the golden age when software actually worked.

  • Why do I have to touch links twice on my Ipad 1?

    I don't know what's going on or when it happened?  But now I have to touch links twice in order to get things to open on my ipad1.  For example.  I go to a newspaper website, say www.mlive.com.  The first time I touch a link to a news story it just highlights (underlines) the link.  The second time I touch it, it actually takes me to the story.  What is going on?

    A long shot, but check the AssistiveTouch setting in Accessibility in the General settings and see if that perhaps got turned on. If it's on, try turning it off. If not, try the usual steps: restart, reset, restore.

    If that doesn't help, it's possible your iPad has developed a hardware problem, in which case it will have to go back to Apple.

  • HT1146 Why do I have to delete the messages twice?

    Every time I want to delete an email I have to repite the action twice. Why?

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • Why would I have duplicate Sent mail messages

    I use Mail to retrieve my Outlook.com mail and every message I send shows up twice in the Sent mailbox for this account.  It hasn't always done this, so I'm not sure what got changed?

    Dennis,
    Who replaced the HD? You or someone else.
    Based on your comment, it seems reasonable to think maybe the smaller library that was last modified the same month as the HD replacement was copied to the new HD and contains whatever you had in the library at that time.
    I would do the following:
    1 - Select 'Photos' icon in the upper ('Library') section of the Library Inspector (of smaller library)
    2 - Set view to 'List View'
    3 - Write down number of items displayed (listed at bottom of browser pane by default) and write down starting and ending image names
    4 - Switch to larger library and set the selection and view the same as in #1 & #2 above respectively
    5 - See if the  number of items and starting / ending image names match
    6 - If not, you might think about adding the smaller library to the larger library (after backing up both)
    Note - this would be considered one of the 'Merging Libraries' procedures, bottom item at linked page below:
    http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/#chapter=3%26section=3
    If the number of items and starting / ending image names in step #6 match what you wrote down in step #3, then you could simply back up the smaller library for safe-keeping and delete it if you wish.
    Basically, you would need to determine whether the smaller library is already contained in the larger library, or whether it is in addition to the larger library due to HD failure and replacement. It would be typical for a technician to at least copy the old personal files to the new HD (although he / she should have told you if that was the case).
    Message was edited by: CorkyO2 to add '(of smaller library)' to step #1.

  • After new update, why do I have to click everything twice

  • Why do I have to Quit mail to refresh my mailboxes on the iMac?

    I have an iMac OS X Lion 10.7.4. A recent purchase. 
    I have an iPad and an iPhone (regrettably updated to 6.0 - don't like the map and can't stand the fact all my facebooks friend's birthdays have automatically gone into my diary!!)
    I have a yahoo email account and have all my devices pointing to my yahoo address for email.
    Until recently all my devices were generally sync'ed to yahoo.  I say generally as the iMac keeps losing my email password and can't send or connect to yahoo until I re-type my email password - why?!!
    Unfortunatly now in addition to the above my mailboxes on the iMac only refresh if Quit mail and restart it.  It does not refresh automatically, not when I select Inbox or any other mailboxes for that matter.
    I have checked my setting and that all seems normal.
    Any help would be really appreciated.
    Thanks
    Fataneh

    Please forgive my ignorance.
    I have found Keychain Access but I don't understand what I have to do next.
    Which Category?  Passwords?
    Also which one is the mail server?  imap.mail.yahoo.com or smtp.mail.yahoo.com (both have the same password)
    or any other enteries?
    Thanks for your help

  • Why do I have to File Save twice before the Save menu is grayed out?

    Open a file into Photoshop CC
    Add a Levels layer
    Click File>Save
    The Save menu is still available when you click File. Doing another File>Save make the Save menu become grayed out (like it should the first time).
    System info:
    Adobe Photoshop Version: 2014.2.1 20141014.r.257 2014/10/14:23:59:59 CL 987299  x64
    Operating System: Mac OS 10.10.1 (the problem has occurred since Mac OS 10.8.x)
    Thanks for any help.
    Daniel

    I have OSX 10.10.1 and CC 2014.
    So I will open a PSD with an adjustment layer.
    I turn off and on the "eyeball" in the layers panel. It counts as a change.
    If you look at your document tab, you see a star at the end of the filename. It shows you made changes to  the file.
    File > Save would remove that star and File > Save does dim on my Macbook.
    If you are seeing it twice, the Preferences file may be corrupt. I suggest a reset.
    Macintosh - CMD-SHIFT-OPTION immediately after you double-click the PS icon.
    If that doesn't work uninstall/reinstall CC 2014 and updates'
    Let me know how it went and mark the answer correct only if this solved your problem.
