Why is "Mailbox Erase Junk Mail" always grayed-out in Mail 4.5?

Anybody know the answer?

This is a User to User forum, and Apple rep don't frequent very often.
I have read a great many of the posts in all versions of Mail, and have never found this to be common, nor have I ever experienced it with any of my 15 accounts.
Is this a POP account, or IMAP?

  • Why is the "open with" option always grayed out when I click on a file link?

    For example, when accessing an email account with firefox and I click on an .mp3 attachment the "open with" choice is always grayed out. This issue is not exclusive to email attachments rather all file links that I click on any site give me the same result. I am using MAC OS X Mavericks.
    How can I restore the "open with" selection?
    Thanks for your time,
    Chris Woods

    You can try rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions#Resetting_download_actions
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

    lots of people seem to be havgin a problem sending email from iCloud webmail.
    does your email address have uppercase characters in it?
    if so, try creating an alias in lowercase (go to preferences in iCloud webmail and select 'accounts') and see if email sends okay from that

  • "Erase Junk Mail" is grayed out

  • Old mail keeps coming back? & Junk Mail Delete grayed out.

    Issue 1
    Old mail, dated from previous months, keeps appearing, mainly in Trash.
    I read some Discussion about 'ipurge,' -- I tried it as a Terminal command but said it wasn't there.
    I checked with the mail server - Google -- and the emails are not there...
    Issue 2
    Also, on Mail menu>Mailboxes>Erase Junk Mail is grayed out.....and maybe this happen after starting to use a spam filter (SpamSieve).
    I sure wish I didn't get so much spam. My email address must have recently gotten picked up...it's disgusting.

    ONE DAY LATER -
    From another thread I got the idea to check out these ever returning trashed emails. The idea there was to delete Google's Junk folder.
    Did that but it didn't seem to solve the problem although the idea of investigating the Google Mail Server.
    That led to discover that after clicking on Trash/Delete for emails they went into a Trash folder -- and stayed there -- and a 2nd trashing was necessary and there was a tab/button saying: DELETE FOVEVER, which sort of implies that Trashed items hang around and require this 2nd trashing, with clicking DELETE FOREVER (see photo).
    I'll see what happens over the next few days.

  • BAM Calculation Group By always grayed out

    Trying to figure out why the Group By... button is always grayed out on the Calculation tab in Active Studio? I understand it requires a calculation that performs an aggregation, but even when I do include an aggregation, it remains grayed out. I am trying to do calculations at each level of a hierarchy, but without the Group By, I suspect my calculation will never work properly.
    Thanks

  • Junk icon is grayed out ?

    Does anyone have any idea why the Junk icon is grayed out on my boss's MacBook Air? As far as I know, he's never been able to use it. Is there a way to change it?

    Hopefully I'll also figure out how to unmark my comment as correct and mark yours as such. Thanks again.

  • New preset from version always grayed out!

    New preset from version is always grayed out. Why? I can never make a new preset.

    Does the version you have displayed in the viewer have adjustments made to it? You can only make a new preset if there are changes to the current image.

    No need to post something more than once.
    The first thing I would do is to uninstall and reinstall. If you have any products from Norton/Symantec, disable those before reinstalling. You can turn them back on again afterwards.
