Why does Mail say that I cannot move items to the trash????

I cannot delete email the "normal" way. When I set up my POP account, it created a second trash folder with the same name as my mail account. There are thus two folders in my Trash can - "On My Mac" and the one named after my email account. When I try to delete any mail it says that I cannot move anything to the Trash folder for my Mail account. I have to DRAG all email I wish to delete to the "On My Mac" Trash folder. ????????
I just want to be able to click delete and have email go away! Why is this not working?
Thanks.

Select the mailbox you wish to correct, then select "Mailbox > Rebuild"
Then do a PRAM reset:
PRAM RESET
Zap the PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

  • Why does Mail say that 3.5 gb has been used?

    In Settings, my mail is listed as having 3.6Gb used, when I only have less than 20 emails?

    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

    Put simply, the minimum system requirements for iTunes have changed. You need a Mac running at least OS X 10.6.8.
    It's best you look online to see if your model of Mac can be upgraded to at least 10.6.8 "Snow Leopard". It should still be possible to order a copy of Snow Leopard if so.

    I changed my server at the end of May & all worked well until the past week end since when I am getting a message saying that I cannot get email because the server will not connect - although it does. It also claims that it was last backed up on Friday last despite having had several emails since Friday. What has happened & can I get email back to normal?

    Hello Stern snapper
    If you are having issues with receiving email on your iPad, then check out the article below to troubleshoot the issue. You may just need to remove the email account and add it back in.

    Why does it say that the updated version of Firefox (which I am trying to download) is not compatible with my operating system when I have Mac OS X 10.5.8? I had an older version of Firefox and it said I needed to update it but that was the message that appeared.

    Sorry, it's because Firefox 4+ are only compiled for the Intel processors.

    Try a re-set. If that doesn't fix it, restore. If that doesn't fixit, Set it up as a new device, preferably by putting into DFU mode.
    If none of that fixes it, the WiFi radio has physically failed.

    OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages - Apple Support
    Google Mail recently implemented additional security measures "for your protection" of course. The manifestation of that may be the requirement to create a unique, "application-specific" password for each one of the various Google services you may use. That requirement probably includes Google Mail. So if the above Apple Support document doesn't resolve the problem, research Google's application-specific password requirements, and how to configure Mail to use it.
    I asked the Hosts to edit or obscure the email address in your post.

  • Password to move items to the trash on my iMac?

    Today, my iMac started asking me for my password to move items to the trash. In addition, if I do put the password in, it automatically deletes the file from the trash.
    This does not happen when I move items from external drives to the trash.
    I'm using an iMac 24 inch with Mountain Lion (10.8.5).
    Any suggestions?

    I've got one more question. I just ran verify permissions on my iMac (Mountain Lion 10.8.5), and it says the permissions are incorrect for iTunes, Safari, java and shows a warning.
    Typically the permissions say:
    "Permissions differ on “Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/Resources/ca.lproj/AskUser.nib”; should be drwxr-xr-x ; they are -rwxr-xr-x .
    Permissions differ on “Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/Resources/ca.lproj/AskUserWide.nib”; should be drwxr-xr-x ; they are -rwxr-xr-x .
    Permissions differ on “Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin”; should be lrwxr-xr-x ; they are drwxr-xr-x .
    Permissions differ on “Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/Dutch.lproj/BookmarkTitleChange.nib ”; should be drwxr-xr-x ; they are -rwxr-xr-x .
    Permissions differ on “Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/BookmarkTitleChange.n ib”; should be drwxr-xr-x ; they are -rwxr-xr-x ."
    The warning says:
    "Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired."
    Any suggestions?

  • Cannot move files to the trash bin

    Hello,
    I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and have since also changed the administrator on our MacBook Pro. My account (formerly the admin) can no longer move files to the trash bin. My wife's account (now admin) has no problem doing so. When I try dragging a file to the trash I get "Finder wants to make changes, type the administrator's name and password to allow this."
    Not something I wan't to be doing every time. Please help.
    Thanks,
    the RouleauFamily

    Thanks for your reply. The permissions looked fine.
    Here is the fix I found at http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/trash.html which worked:
    If the affected account is:
    Then type the Terminal command:
    Your Admin account:
    sudo rm -ri ~/.Trash
    Another user account:
    sudo rm -ri /Users/user_name/.Trashwhere user_name is the short name of the affected account.
    Warmly,
    Olivier

  • When I move items to the trash I get asked for my password.

    When I try to move any item into the trash I a screen pops up and says that the finder needs my password in order to complete this action. So once I enter in my password the item gets deleted from the desktop or wherever but does not even show up in the trash. My computer has never done this before until recently and I find it annoying that I have to type in a password to move an item that doesnt even show up where I move it. Is there any way that I can fix or change this?

    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on solving Trash issues. You can also try using Trash It! 5.1 to fix the problem. Or you can try this:
    Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder and paste the following at the prompt:
    sudo rm -Rf ~/.Trash
    Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not echo to the screen. Press RETURN again.

  • When I move items to the trash they do not go into the trash, they are deleted entirely

    Heading above pretty much explains it.  Sometime recently, my trash started acting differently - when I attempt to move an item into the trash, I get a message asking if I want to delete the item permanently.  I am sure this is a fairly new phenomenon.

    Click on the item in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon and verify that you are able to write to this folder in the Sharing & Permissions section of the Get Info window, and that it isn't locked; if it is already set this way and you get that error, open the Terminal in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run the following:
    mkdir ~/.Trash
    If you get a message stating that the folder exists, run the following:
    sudo chown $UID ~/.Trash
    chmod u+rwx ~/.Trash
    The first command in the second set will prompt you for your administrator password; nothing will appear in the Terminal window while it is being typed. In either case, click on the Finder icon in the Dock with the Control and Option keys pressed, and relaunch it.

  • Why does it say my event is already open with the same identifier so the second document cannot be opened?

    I have been working for 7 hours today on a major 3-month project. Everything was okay until I closed it and tried to open it. I received this error:
    "/Volumes/MediaSAN4/Workbench/HRL /Final Cut Events/Move-In is already open with the same identifier as /Volumes/MediaSAN4/Workbench/HRL /Final Cut Events/Move-In, so the second document cannot be opened.
    Move one of these documents out of your Final Cut Events folder.  To avoid this problem, copy events from within Final Cut Pro."
    not sure what it wants me to do.
    When i hit ok EVERY event is gone. all projects say missing event. Even the two I'm not working on. I'm so frustrated I've thought about starting the project over in 7 but I want to stick with it.
    I work for a university and have not been able to find help, even from my boss. The only thing I have found to fix it is to dismount the drive (mediasan4) and then remount it and it reconnects everything. But this can't be a good way to work. There are no duplicate events anywhere. there IS for some reason a duplicate mediasan4 drive in the project library, but not under the events library. I have been working in one and everytime I make an edit to my projects in there it makes the changes to the other one. I cannot find a way to delete it. We just reinstalled fcpx a few days ago.
    Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

    Oh yea sorry about that, but yes sir, I sure am. The SAN not the drive. I have tried renaming the event as well. Thanks for checking though.
