Cannot delete emails on iMac

• Cannot delete emails, grays out screen, message Inbox Mozilla (not answer)

  System is not responding. Removal of e-mails causes aging out of the entire screen. Sometimes it is non-gris, but it doesn't always. Cannot delete emails, or does it very slowly - like minutes later. I was recently deleting emails by holding down the SHIFT key, so I can remove a lot of emails at a time. Maybe would it cause a problem? Even the attempt of X on Thunderbird causes the same message "Inbox - Mozilla (not responding)" appear in the upper left corner.
  That's happened?

  I totally disconnected and restarted. I was in safe mode (according to instructions) and then completely disconnected for you ensure that I was not stuck in safe mode.

  I still have non-response.

  Thank you for your help

  Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

  1. move all the messages you want to keep out folders, sent items and deleted items, and in other local OE folders you have created for archiving (backup) of such messages.

  1B. move 99% of your messages in your Inbox folder to other folders the of OE, too.

  2. Note the location of the store of your identity (http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#storemain).

  2B. turn on "Show hidden folders and files" via start | Control Panel | Folder options | View (seehttp://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial62.html).

  3. close OE.

  4. in Windows Explorer, navigate to your storage folder, find & removeOutbox.dbx, Sent Items.dbxand Deleted Items.dbxfile.

  To avoid such problems in the future, comply with the following restrictions:

  N ' not use Inbox or sent items to archive messages.  Move them to local folders created for this purpose.

  -Empty the deleted items folder daily.

  -Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE while records that "work offline".  More onhttp://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

  -Do not cancel automatic compacting, where it would happen and do not try to close OE via Manager tasks or stop your Automatic compaction machine can take place.

  -Disable e-mail scanning in your antivirus application.  It can cause corruption (i.e., loss of messages) and offers no additional protection:

  I erase all the configuration data / device as a new device without any id data or apple. (13 times). I just install manually 1 e-mail account (POP or IMAP). Then... the test:

  -I get 15 (numbered from 1 to 15) test messages

  -turn off wifi and put it in airplane mode

  -Back to the Inbox > read 1 & 2 messages and delete them

  -go to the Recycle Bin folder > view 1 & 2 messages and delete them. Basket is empty.

  -Go back to the Inbox and select 3-9 messages and delete

  -go to trash - it displays... 9 messages

  -delete all messages from the deleted items folder. Basket is empty.

  -Back to the Inbox > edit > remove all remaining 6 messages

  -Back to trash - it displays... 15 messages

  Deleted items is probably damaged. On the off chance that you want messages to be saved in deleted items, (a garbage can), move them to a local folder, you create and then follow these steps.
   
  Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

  With OE closed, find the DBX file for deleted items and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.

• Emails are not sent and cannot delete emails from the Inbox

  I recently bought an iMac, retina of 27-inch end 2015 model 5 k pro. 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5 8 gb 1867 MHz DDR3
  I use OS x El Capitan v 10.11.4 and Mail v9.3

  E-mail was setup and fine for a month or so of work. Yesterday, it started to get really slow and slower.
  It allows me to delete messages in my Inbox and it wont let me move messages to other folders.
  It also will not let send me e-mail messages.  It won't even put it in my drafts folder, they disappear.
  Then in the column on the left down at the bottom it says "send message" and is stuck on about 1/4 of the way and never ended up sending.

  I have read in this forum and tried a few things to fix it without success.
  And I even went in connection doctor and it says that everything is connected and works fine.

  Very frustrated because I need emails for my business and it has not worked for two days.

  Anyone has any suggestions for me on what to try next?

  See if reconstruction of the support mailbox.

  • When I create a new email to send, deleting account still appears as an option in the From: drop down.

  I would please ask for help on how to remove the deleted account from From: drop-down list?

  Check the previous recipients list in Mail and delete from there.

  In addition, amend the list of SMTP Mail preferences and remove this address if it appears.
