After hours of setting everything back up, I now have more issues than when I started. Every time I go to delete an email from my imap mail accounts I get an error saying message can't be moved to the trash folder. When I go to move forward in the thread, I have to use the back button
There must be something I don't understand about iCloud Should I delete my iCloud account and start that fresh? Any help may save the life of an iPhone Thanks Sent from my iPhone On 24/01/2013, at 2:30 PM, Esther <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Danny, > > I'll correct my earlier statement: if you want to preserve your email groups, > you can still sync them from iCloud.
