How do I delete all of the messages in my inbox all at once?

Question

I haven't checked my email in a while and I have a lot of unwanted messages (9175)

Answer 1

U cant do this with one click only. Nevertheless u can reduce the workload this way. Presently ur email page shows 25 messages per page. Click on options on ur email page. Select general preferences. On the next page u will find 25 written in the box in front of email per page. Click on the arrow of this box. Here u hv the option of maximum 200 click that and save it. Come back on ur email Page. Now it will show 200 msgs per page. Now check the sender's box and click delete. This way u can reduce ur workload and this is maximum u can do with the present options being provided by yahoo. It will solve ur problem to a great extent.

Depends on your e-mail carrier. There's usually a little box before each e-mail message. If you wanted to delete something, you check the box. Now, there is another box above the column of boxes, check that and it will highlight all messages, click delete and out they go. Sometimes there's an option to "select all". Click on that and press delete and bye-bye messages.

Hope this helps.

When you open your e-mail account, there should be a select all button, click on that and then delete if there isn't, then the best way would be hit the shift key and click on the first mail then scroll down to the last one and click on that (all should be high lighted now) click delete.

At the top of the listing of all your msessages, it says "Check all." Click that then hit the "Delete" button.

I know some sites give you a choice of reading or deleting. One site, I use, you can hit 'select all' and delete all at one time. Good luck!
