Cannot delete the email

I have an updated IMac upgraded to El Capitan.  I recently received an email from Bernie Sanders, that I read and then put in the trash.  Mail will not let me delete the e-mail.  It gives me the message: could not open the file "180791.emlx" because there is no file.  For this reason, I can not delete everything in my garbage can but have to remove one at a time.  I tried to move it to a different e-mail file.  It won't let me do no more.  What is going on?

Try to rebuild the mailbox and then delete. The steps are; Select the mailbox - mailbox - Rebuild menu

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says Show restore points more.

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    I hope this helps. Good luck.

  • BlackBerry 10 cannot delete the email account (unauthenticated) / cannot authenticate the email account with different servers SMTP and IMAP (a gmail)

    After updating the OS on my last night in 10.1.0.4181 Z10 (software) / 4633 (OS), all my accounts set up asked for credentials must be verified. Looks like now that it uses some sort of mechanism of OAuth - worked well for my Gmail accounts with two-factor auth.

    One of my accounts that I have Gmail as IMAP server (using a regular gmail.com account), but another SMTP server, with the address on a different domain. I use Gmail as my email client, basically.

    After the upgrade, I am prompted to authenticate, but at some point, someone on my domain set up Google Apps. Has never been for nothing. I wonder to enter * that * password via Google. I don't, and this is NOT the account that I'm trying to connect. (I want a server with user name [email protected] gmail.com IMAP and SMTP [email protected]).

    So I'm stuck... can not authenticate.

    Even worse: Also, I can not delete the account! Delete option is not available until after you have again authenticated. Because I can not delete the account, I can't try to add it again separately - I get an error indicating that the account is already configured.

    All options except wait for the next update of OS or do a wipe/restore?

    (Wipe/restore is really not an option for me, it takes several hours, and the last time I was forced to restore, I lost a good amount of data that I then had to enter manually in restoring to my old 9790 and then it tapping on my Z10.) Not to take this risk again).

    Try this:

    Open an e-mail account with the same account information and email address, but as a pop account to synchronize the account. Both accounts now appear in a new sub-account. Now you can remove the two accounts together. It worked for me...

  • How to import old emails having accidentally deleted the email account?

    I have deleted my thunderbird e-mail account and now cannot access the mails I received. I'm trying to find them on the computer and import them, but don't know how to do. I use thunderbird on windows 8.1. Any help is appreciated!

    If you have deleted the email account, then it is expected that you wouldn't see emails. So there is nothing wrong with this part.

    It is possible to recover a deleted account.

    If you have an IMAP email account you simply re-create the IMAP account as e-mail messages are stored on the server and IMAP e-mail accounts have a remote view directories on the server.

    If you had a Pop e-mail account, e-mail messages are download from the server Inbox for the email account Thunderbird Inbox. By default, they download, and then delete the copy on the server. So now the only copy in your computer. You can set it up so that emails are not deleted from the server. Tools > account settings > server settings for pop mail account Select "Leave messages on the server" click OK

    Note: If you have an account and you want to remove it, but you always want to see e-mail messages, you need to move e-mails in local folders first and then delete the account.

    How to recover a deleted email account.

    This link tells you how to recover the account. But I described the process below.

    First check emails exist make hidden folders and files visible:

    In Thunderbird
    Help > troubleshooting information
    Click on the view file"" button.

    A new window opens to display the your profile folder.
    Click on "Mail".
    Click on the name of pop e-mail account (if it does not exist, then they are gone).
    Note its name and where it is located. In general: C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\profile name\Mail\pop mail account name of the folder.

    This will show you all the folders listed as "files", they don't have any extension. Thus, for example: you will see the Inbox (email containing) and Inbox.msf (indexing file - no email).

    You can open the Inbox folder using Notepad to see the emails.

    Assuming that the account and emails are still there: close the window.

    In Thunderbird: Create a new pop e-mail account by using the same parameters as the one you deleted.
    File > new > account mail Exisitng

    Now to the point the mail account created to use the e-mail account deleted.
    Tools > account settings > server to the newly created pop e-mail account settings.
    lower-right look for "local directory".
    Click on the button "Browse".
    Locate your original pop email account and click Open
    In general it is located here:
    C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\profile folder name\Mail\pop mail account name.

    Click OK

    Hi edaward68,

    1. When did you start to question?

    2. what exactly happens when you try to delete the mails?

    You can try to rename delete point .dbx and check:

    a. Click Start, point to find and then click files or folders.

    b. in the named, box type deleted item.dbx

    (c) in the area to look in, click on your main hard drive (usually drive C), and then click Find now.

    d. right-click on the deleted item.dbx file and then click Rename.

    e. type deleted item.dbxold, and then click ok.

    f. launch Outlook Express. This creates new files. Try to delete e-mails and check.

    Note: You can try to create a new folder and move all messages from the Inbox, and delete items before you rename files.

    Outlook Express for email
     
    Hi all. I am running Microsoft Windows XP on my computer. I use Outlook Express for e-mail. Currently, I'm unable to delete the emails of one of my Outlook Express email accounts. Everyone knows about this problem? All proposed solutions?

    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and move the messages you want to record off deleted items, and sent items. Locate the OE message store and then close OE.

    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.

    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    With OE closed, find the Deleted Items.dbx and Sent Items.dbx files and delete them. New files will be created automatically when you open OE.

    Compact all folders as described below.

    To avoid this in the future:

    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.

    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

  • Oulook Express 6 it has an error and will not let me delete the email

    Original title: OUTLOOK EXPRESS 6 WINDOWS XP

    There out wrong and won't let me delete the email.  He still receives new e-mail.

    no problem viewing or respond.

    Anyone know an easy solution?

    the error code:

    An unknown error has occurred. Account: name, Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, secure (SSL): no, error number: 0x800C0133

    Do as I have indicated above, but instead of moving most of the messages in your Inbox, all move them and delete the Inbox.dbx file as well.

    If you move all messages from the Inbox for a reason, do the above and then come back and move messages in the Inbox and then delete the Inbox.dbx with OE closed box.

  • Impossible to remove an unknown account, get the error 'cannot delete the unknown account because this object inherits permissions from its parent.

    I have several programs that when I go to security there is an unknown account and when I try to delete unknown account I get this message that you cannot delete the Unknown(S-1...) account because this object inherits from its parent perssions. To delete the Unknown(S-1...) account, you must prevent this object from inheriting permissions. Turn off the option for the inheritance of permissions and then try to delete the Unknown(S-1...) account again. I tried the edit and advance features in respect of security without success. Why have I not control over security permissions?

    Found a solution to this problem.

    Go to the folder parent of the folder that contains the files with this unknown account number:
    1. right click on the PARENT folder, and then click Properties.
    2. on the Security tab, go to the advanced options (bottom window)
    3. in the new window, click the button change the permissions in the bottom.
    4. Select the Group (NOT AUTHENTICATED, just of users USERS) users
    5. check "replace all permissions of child object with permissions inheritable of this object.
    6. click on the OK button or apply and done, fixed number.

    Hope this helps anyone else having this problem, for me it happened after reinstallation of win 7 on the same machine and keep my images on another partition, so it was spared by the new facility, so the old user account was always on the file permissions.
