Why can't I delete messages?

The most likely reasons for this are:

  1. You are not following the steps in the item above.
  2. You have used all your disk space.
  3. You are using webmail from an incompatible system.

If you have used all your disk space, you need to reconfigure your mail program to use a different method of deletion.

  1. In Options/Mail, under Message Options, select the item Deleting and Moving Messages.
  2. Click the box at the beginning of the line
    When deleting messages move them to your trash folder...
    to remove the tick
  3. Click Save Options;
  4. Click the INBOX icon to return to the inbox.

Then to delete messages follow the steps in the question How do I delete messages?

Please be aware that older Macs running MacOS9 or lower are not compatible with the standard webmail. If you are using such a system, you will need to revert to the old version of webmail. Similarly, some browsers running on MacOSX have problems: Safari is recommended in this case.
