Inbox Question
« on: November 17, 2005, 07:18:08 pm »
I'm finally getting around to deleting messages in my inbox.  I had over 200, am at 195 now... it is taking forever doing it one by one.  I could have sworn I used to be able to select the messages and then delete multiple messages at the same time.    ???

Did it change or am I just an idiot?   :)

YOu can sort the messages by clicking on SUBJECT OR DATE, or SENDER to get them in a particular order. That can help you delete multiple ones.   If you can get a bunch in order that you want to delete, click on the first one,   hold the shift key down and click on the last one, and when they are all highlighted press delete.  Or you can just hold the control key down while clicking on the ones you want to delete, highlight a bunch and then hit delete.  

I've looked through your files on that computer, and no I don't think your an idiot, but boy what I could tell this forum.

Mine will no longer let me sort and there are no longer the little boxes that allowed me to check which ones I wanted to delete like before.  I can't seem to get it to highlight multiple ones.  If I click on one it just automatically pops up the do you want to delete this message Yes or Cancel... I don't have the opportunity to select any others.  If I just highlight over several message and hit remove, on the one that I hit remove on actually deletes.

I know I used to be able to do this.  I don't understand why I can't get it to work now.

I certainly do, and I've been a very good girl this year so I think Santa may even come early.   :D

What software are you using? You should be able to go into options and change it so that you can see the list without openning the messages.

That is what I was going to ask. Please don't say AOL. AOL users get what they deserve!  ;)

You should know what I have since you are always snooping on my computer.   ;)

The pc is running Windows XP, the DSL is through SBC/Yahoo, and I'm using IE version 6.0.  

Just in case it wasn't clear my problem is with my inbox on this site from all my PM's... not my regular e-mail inbox.

I guess so, you must be sending out pics from your Victoriasecrets directory. I've never had more than 3 pms so I haven't looked to see if there is anywhere to mass delete.

I'm guessing I'm not an idiot then, just that the software here changed or something.  There used to be little boxes that you could check multiple messages then hit delete... that is no longer an option.  I have to delete and confirm every time which takes about 15-20 seconds per message.
