Windows Live Mail

Is there a way to delete my e-mails in one go, I have built up 1500 and it seems I can only delete them one at a time.

If you mean the mail client (as opposed to the web mail) read here, this ias about files but the same principles apply...

It's my inbox, I have 1500 emails I want to delete but I'm doing it one by one and it's taking ages, it wont " select all " then delete.

There are two things that can be called windows live mail, one is a program installed on your PC, the other is a webpage you you view in your browser, my first answer applies if it's the program installed on your PC.

If it's the web based one then the best you can do is select one page at once by ticking the little box on the left of the bar above the mails and then deleting that one page. it will still take time, but a lot quicker than doing it one at a time.

Thanks ChuckFickens, I had to delete each one so got a sore finger now, I won't let that many build up in future.

On Outlook Express, if you hold own Ctrl you can highlight message after message by clicking on them then delete all highlighted in one go.

The way you can delete a folder full of messages is to hold the shift key and click on the first mail (together). This will highlight the messages in blue. You can then press Delete to get rid of the lot.
