I have been experiencing similar problems lately. When I try to delete a message from my inbox and send it to trash, I get a message that the task cannot be performed because the file already exists. I have found that a copy of the message has indeed been sent to the trash, but the message is also retained in my inbox. However, this is not always the case, and sometimes the send to trash command works perfectly. When I find myself in the situation that the message will not delete from my inbox, I simply hold down the command key and press the x key while on the message. At least this method prevents a build up of unwanted mail in my inbox. Hope this helps.

Ok, but I can't get things to move from the inbox into trash or something called "q.com trash." It says they don't allow things to be moved into them. Rebuild isn't doing much, and "use this mailbox for" is all dimmed. Guess I may need to take this up with tech support. Thanks anyhow for trying.<grin> Carolyn ----- Original Message ----- From: Sarah Alawami To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, May 17, 2010 3:12 PM Subject: Re: Mail and trash actually the command is command shift del to clear the trash. command k does nothing for me.

Select it in your mailboxes table, go to the mailboxes menu, and select rebuild. THis may possibly help. On May 17, 2010, at 2:24 PM, Carolyn wrote: Hi: I'm unable to delete emails. I get an alert that the ch...@q.com trash mailbox can not accept messages. I tried creating a new mailbox called trash. But, it seems I'm missing a step somewhere, and the mail's piling up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, I appreciate everyone's help. Carolyn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
