Won't delete old e-mails on Yahoo app

In the past week my wife's Galaxy S III had an issue crop up with her Yahoo mail app. She had some old e-mails saved in a folder appear in her InBox. When you open them to look at the subject matter, it's blank except for the subject. Since it was blank she decided to delete it. After it has been deleted it reappears in the InBox after it has refreshed. She has about 6 old emails like this that won't delete, I even tried moving them back to their original folder and moving them to Spam, with the same outcome. It logged on to her account on our home computer and it shows everything is normal, none of those emails show in the inbox. It's like two separate accounts. I stopped by my local Verizon store and after 45 minutes to an hour the Rep. there gave up and suggested that I contact Verizon CS Level 2 support to see if they can help. They're my next stop, unless someone here has a solution.

Thanks for contacting the community forums, kscfire. I had a similar situation on my Android device. I was able to log into a computer to delete the email that kept showing a subject but empty body.
You can also clear the cache for the email http://bit.ly/UasC7T to see if that works. Once cleared, power off/on and check the email box again.
Worst case scenario, remove the email app and reinstall it.

I have just started using Time Machine. I was thinking about deleting old E-Mails on my Mac to clean. Does Time Machine back up the E-Mails , if so how can I find them in Time Machine ??

If you back up your mac before deleting your emails, Time Machine should back up your e-mails.
I never tried this so i'm not sure to find them in Time Machine. To browse in your backups simply click the Time Machine icon in your dock. In the right bar, you can select an backup. Than you can browse in finder, in your backkup.
EDIT: Just browsed and CT above was right. This topic might help you:

Deleting Old e-mail addresses in MAIL

I cannot delete old/unusable e-mail addresses when I type a name in the address bar. The name will appear with two three, or more addresses, maybe only one of which is usable (and is often on the bottom of the list).
Is there any way to DELETE the old addresses (which I have already done in my ADDRESS BOOK)??
But it doesn't get them out of the system. They still appear the next time I address an e-mail.
OR if you can't get rid of them, can they be ordered so that the workable one appears FIRST in the list?

Hi,
I'm not fully sure of your problem, and since none of the apple wizards have responded yet, and you may be eager to solve your problem, I dear proposing to start with taking out your 'com.apple.mail.plist'-file from: Home/Library/Preferences
Drag it to your desktop, and rename it - add a letter or two, maybe duplicate it too, and put the duplicate in trash for keeping. You will loose settings, mailboxes, and the inbox may not display all mails. The file: com.apple.mail.plist, will regenerate, and Mail will open in default state. Start playing around with Mail, and try to reproduce initial errors. If this does not fix your problem, just trash the new com.apple.mail.plist, and replace it with the old one, renaming it back to: com.apple.mail.plist. The backup in the Trash-folder can also be deleted, if you have no further use of it as an backup.
I check back in later, to see if you decided to try this. Best of luck.

How do I delete old e mails?

Over 29,000 old e mails come up - I can delete them one at a time, but how can I delete them all in one go?

select the first one and press CTrl +A then once they are all selected the delete key.

TS3276 Mail is not working. Cannot open new e-mail; cannot send mail. Connection doctor shows green dot in status column. I can't delete old e-mails to free up space.

Mail is not working. I cannot open new e-mail; and I cannot send mail either. Also, I cannot delete past e-mails to free up space. Mailbox seems to hang in general.

Disk Full Error... Won't Delete Old Backups

Hello- Since upgrading to ML, Time Machine is notifying me that disk is full and will erase old backups on next backup. Problem is, its not deleting old backups. Thus, its not backing up any longer. This has only happened since upgrading to ML this week.
The setup:
- 2012 MB Air with 250GB SSD and ~ 75GB unused
- Latest ML Updates
- External 1TB HD totally devoted to Time Machine- 23GB remaining space available
It has been setup this way since 2012 and this is the 1st time Time Machine is unable to erase old backups.
Thoughts?
Thx!

See C4.

TC won't delete old backups

My 1TB TC is full and suddenly stopped deleting old backups. I now simply get an error message saying that it's full. Well duh. It's been deleting old backups for a year now. The only change was updating the OS to Lion. Anyone think this is the problem?

It may be related. If you erased your internal HD, then installed Lion, then transferred your data via drag & drop or restoring from a "clone," Time Machine is trying to do a full backup, which there may not be room for.
Please clarify exactly how you upgraded, and the details of the message (post a screenshot if you can).
And/or, see #C4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

Time capsule won't delete old backups

Time capsule working fine since months ago. After snow leopard upgrade started to give warning that not enough space is available. Delete old backup's option is on.

The Time Capsule was designed to work with Time Machine for backups. That doesn't mean you can't use other backup software to do the job, but Time Capsule is "relying" on Time Machine to perform backup maintenance ... like deleting the oldest files.
Because you are using a Mac with an non-Leopard OS, you will have to either rely on the backup program that you are using or self-maintenance. I would suspect that in order to delete the current backups, you would need to access the Time Capsule's hard drive directly through the Finder. You mention the connection fails. What exactly is the error you are seeing when attempting to access the Time Capsule?

ITunes won't delete old podcasts

I've seen other people mention this topic in other threads, but haven't seen any satisfactory resolution. For several months now, I've had a problem with iTunes where it won't auto-delete my old listened to podcasts like it's supposed to.
I have the "Podcasts" preferences set to check for new episodes every day, download all available episodes, and keep all unplayed episodes. When I listen to them on my iPod nano (first gen) and sync with iTunes, the little blue bullets disappear from the podcasts I've listened to as expected. However, the listened to podcasts don't delete themselves. It's a real pain to have to manage this by hand, and this is exactly the kind of thing that Apple is supposed to be making EASY for us.
iTunes also has a problem where old podcast episodes are randomly getting re-downloaded.
Both of these problems are very annoying. I'm really disappointed that Apple has done such a poor job of this. I realize this is turning into a gripe session, but seriously, I have three pretty major problems with podcasting using iTunes and iPod which Apple should really fix because I doubt if I'm the only one.
1. Old podcasts are not getting deleted as they should (yes, this used to work, but it hasn't for some time).
2. Really old podcasts (months old) randomly re-download themselves.
3. The iPod still insists on sorting podcasts with the newest first rather than giving you an option to play from the oldest unlistened episode. Many podcasts go in sequence, so it's a pain to have to make a custom play list every time I want to listen going from oldest to newest.
That's it.
PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz 15" Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1.5 GB RAM

YES!!! These are precisely the three issues I'm having with iTunes! I'm using an 80GB iPod Video, and I'm almost exclusively listening to podcasts (yay NPR!). They take up a lot of space on my hard drive because they're not auto-deleting. They delete off of my iPod ok (though it'd be a cool feature if it didn't delete unless it was listened to through the end, but that's nitpicking), but they pile up in my podcasts directory until I delete them manually, even though I have "keep new episodes" selected.
And please, allow for podcasts to play in chronological order on my iPod, oldest on top! I think I remember reading somewhere that having them appear the other way is actually touted as a benifit?
As for the random download of old episodes, I've had that, and it's annoying, but an easy enough thing to delete or skip, and mark as played on the mac.
I had the lack of updates problem for a while, I inexplicably lost Marketplace for several months, but now it's back... Those last two problem aren't Apple's fault, I suspect; just a result of several pieces to a puzzle needing to be exactly right in order to work correctly.
Thanks for re-introducing this topic, here's hoping for a solution!

How can I delete old e-mail addresses?

I have the original iPhone and I want to know if there is a way to delete e-mail addresses from the "to:" drop down. It gets bothersome when they are not your contact's e-mails but instead e-mails addresses of people you have no longer contact with.

All email recipients are stored by the iPhone in what is called a list of previous recipients. The "To drop down" or autofill feature pulls from your iPhone's address book and the list of previous recipients. At the present time, there is not a way to access the list of previous recipients to remove previous recipients from the list, or add a previous recipient to the iPhone's address book that is not already entered.
The only way to completely purge the list of previous recipients at the present time is restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup. The list of previous recipients is included with your iPhone's backup.
