Starting yesterday, Mail is refusing to delete e-mails that I try to discard as I read through my many e-mails from several different lists. The message that appears says: The message "(Sender name, subject line)" could not be moved to the mailbox "Trash - On My Mac" The operation couldn't be completed. File exists
And then there is a questionmark button and and OK button. (The questionmark button doesn't seem to do anything useful.) I can delete an e-mail by clicking Option-delete, but it is clumsy. It is an intermittent problem - a few e-mails will delete as they should, then the message turns up again. Something that seems very weird is that when I look at the e-mails in the Trash on my Mac, some of them seem to have been scrambled - that is, the Sender and the Subject line in the Mail application window are different than what appears in the e-mail itself. Names and subjects from one source get mixed with names and subjects from another e-mail list. I'm using OS 10.6.2; I ran repair permissions which didn't improve this problem. Also deleted everything that was in Trash on my Mac, several times. I'm wondering if I should try to get this problem sorted out before doing a backup and installing the 10.6.3 update, or if the update might fix it. Is there anything I could do?
