@dafacto Sometimes it helps to rebuild Mail's database or to move the messages to keep out of a mailbox and then delete the whole mailbox.

@mjtsai Rebuild the whole Mail database, or just the Trash?

@dafacto I guess you could try the trash first, but for this type of problem it seems like a full rebuild is usually necessary.

@mjtsai I rebuilt the data, but am still having the problem. At some point, mail deleting stops working, and required a Mail restart.

@dafacto Is the problem deleting (moving message stop trash) or emptying the trash? Is there an error message?

@mjtsai Moving them to the trash. It’s as if the delete key is dead (but control-click “delete” also does nothing.)

@dafacto What if you drag?
