Delete mailbox

Inform Apple of the success using their feedback forums.

1. Go Here: Feedback - macOS - Apple
2. Being an update as to where things stand, select: "Other" for the "Feedback Type"
3. Proceed from there as necessary.

It seems to suggest that there is a server issue at Apple's level.

If you are getting the error, I would suggest updating to the latest version of macOS. It may fix the issue. If you are already on the most recent OS. I would raise the issue with Apple Support. They may not be able to fix it during the call. But they will log it, and as was the case with me, it will eventually correct itself.

Be patient.

EtreCheck is a simple little app to display the important details of your system configuration and allow you to copy that information to the Clipboard. It is meant to be used with Apple Support Communities to help people help you with your Mac.

Pastebin is a good place to paste the whole report...

Or use the paperclip at the bottom of a Reply to attach the full report here. :)

Workable but harder for me to work with...the Note tool on the bottom of this editor's toolbar, as shown in the image, to copy and paste the output from EtreCheck.

There is also free Malwarebytes which may take care of it...

I haven’t tried that yet but I have signed into iCloud via safari and that won’t allow me to delete the folder either. It says “can’t be deleted right now, try again later”. This leads me to believe it’s an Apple server issue/bug or somehow something got corrupted and now it’s stuck.

I am experiencing the same problem as "grandmacs" using a 2018 MBP running Catalina. I cannot remove a mailbox which I created in iCloud. I have tried deleting it through accessing iCloud via Safari and mailbox cannot be deleted. On my Mac, I can rename this mailbox and move it within the iCloud mailboxes, but cannot delete it. I have also tried deleting this mailbox on two separate iOS devices and mailbox cannot be deleted. Given these facts, I believe it is an iCloud server issue.

I’ve tried that. Can’t do number 1 because it’s iCloud mail so there is no option to re-enter credentials. I’ve done number 2, didn’t work.

I feel that solution is for other email carriers like gmail or yahoo mail etc. not iCloud mail.

IMAP4 and POP3: Syncing may be the Issue Here:

eMail Providers' FAQ and Support Forums:

Post and ask this question on your eMail provider's FAQ and Support Forums. For instance, if you are using Gmail, you would go here: Gmail Community - Google Support. Search for the answer too.

Broadband Being Down:

Perhaps, something is down with their server, or things are being updated at the moment. Broadband is down in Europe at the moment, due to everyone being home and using the Internet services, as a result of the Coronavirus Pandemic. So, find out if that is why.

This is exactly what I am experiencing also. I have raised it with Apple Support. Waiting to hear back. I suspect it is a Server issue too... Hoping that their Engineering Team will take a look and fix in due course.

Helpful Tips:

What are some helpful tips that Apple Support provided you with? Please emphasize so this can be figured out.

They have escalated the issue. Apparently others are having the same problem. Issue appears to be on Apple's end.....iCloud? I have done nothing on my end other than communicate the problem and what I have attempted to do unsuccessfully from my end. If you've seen earlier post, I cannot delete a mailbox I created in iCloud from the Apple Mail client on my MBP, from iCloud through Safari or from two different iOS devices. I have done this periodically in the past.

What does MCMailErrorDomain error 1030 signify - I am trying to get rid of a mailbox and I get this answer, your advice appreciated!

Which Mailbox & where is it, On My Mac, or on the Server?

Are you logged into WebMail in a Browser when you're trying?

You never did say which exact Mailbox, is it required by the Server?
