If you are useing O.E. and Windows XP, open "inbox", go to "edit", top left hand corner, second option is "select all" Do this and all your read and unread emails should highlite, then press "delete" Jack ----- Original Message ----- From: "Len/Ruth Brummett" <brummett@sigecom.net> To: <SENIOR-NEWBIE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, April 14, 2005 2:57 PM Subject: [SR-NEWBIE] MASS DELETION OF EMAILS Tonight I was shocked to see that I had about 6,000 "sent" emails. So I have been doing: Hold down Control. Click each email. Click Delete. Well, I got down to about 2,500 and my pointer fingers are numb!! SURELY there is an easier way! I tried clicking on the first and the last emails in a line, but only the two were deleted. Anone got a suggestion?? Many thanks.
