    Emails won't delete - showing 'unknown error '


    I have a number of emails in my inbox that when I highlight them and click on delete I just get a box showing unknown error. I've had this happen occasionally before, and it was only a few, so I manually transferred them to the deleted mail.

    However I now seem to have enough that it's going to take a while to do this.

    On top of this when I tried to use this method on some of them I got a second box pop up telling me that they could not be moved and to retry. I did, they still can't.

    I've tried a block removal but that won't work either.

    What can I do to avoid an ever expanding mail box please

    :)

    When I want to delete an email, I get a message 'an unknown error has occurred'.

    Hi Coatimundi.

    To help members understand the issue with the hope of providing possible solutions could you state

    1) Who provides your email at a domain level, MS (Outlook), Gmail, Yahoo, Telco? (Don't want your address complete address.)

    2) If a telco or other third party have you contacted them?

    3) What email program or app are you using for mail?

    4) If not an app / program what browser are you using and have you tried another browser?
