Apple & the second law of thermodynamics — Mail won’t let me delete messages & “Complete this season” no longer works on my AppleTV.
Michael Tsai@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. - View other replies

@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? - View other replies

@mjtsai Just confirmed — dragging is broken too (when this state occurs). -
@dafacto I haven’t seen that (dead key/drag) before, only errors when moving. - Show more
