Re: "Permanently erase deleted messages when 1 month old" not working

Hi Stephen,

Is it a POP or IMAP email account? 
Do you have this mail account on iOS devices as well?
What OS X are you running?

"Permanently erase deleted messages when 1 month old" not working

[Stephen Chape]

Hi folks,

Just realised  I have hundreds of deleted messages going back several months.
But I have the above set up in Mail.

Any ideas please ?

Hello Michael,

Are sure you created New Folders not Smart Folders, and moved the items 
correctly into the New Folders?
>

If so:
Try deleting the Desktop Preference file. 
1. Go to your user   ~/library 
In Finder, Hold down the Alt (Option) & click Go menu - select Library 
(The user library folder is listed below the current user's home directory.)

2. Open Library - then scroll to Preferences and find com.apple.finder.plist 
and move it to your Desktop. (don't worry, it will recreate when you restart 
finder.)

3. Restart your MBP

Cheers,
Ronni

Folders

[Michael Hawkins]

I attempted to tidy up the desktop on my MacBook Pro by creating new Folders, 
naming them, and dragging and dropping into the new Folders the various items 
I’d saved on the Desktop.

For some reason (a) various items that I had not dragged into a Folder are now 
in the Folder, (b) each new Folder contains a folder which has the same name as 
the Folder on the desktop and (c) each of the folders within a Folder contains 
the same items as are in the Folder I created.

What has gone wrong, and how can I correct it?
