Hi
For some days now I get an error message when deleting e-mail from Mail. The message is:
The file "Message" does not exist.
As I am using Norwegian in my OS I have translated on my own. This comes up every time I try to delete an e-mail. This happens on my iMac. I have a MacBook that connects to the same accounts without problem.
I tried to rebuild all my accounts, but the error is still there. Does anyone know what to do?
Hey pergost,
If I understand correctly, if you try to delete an email message in the Mail app, you get a message that the file does not exist. Does this happen to every email you try to delete or only specific emails?It looks like you have already done some troubleshooting to solve this issue. Even though there is a chance that you've tried these steps already, I would recommend you follow every step and let us know if the issue persists. You can try to remove the email account and add it back again. Also, in the Mailbox menu you can try to Synchronize All Accounts to see if it will recognize the message is there.
