Empty or delete folders in windows 8 mail

So far, I have to select each message now and before I can delete to empty a folder to scan to the left.

Is there an easier way?

Hi Peeet,

We are happy to get your query on the community of Windows 8.
 
If I understand correctly, you select each message and remove individual who, I suppose, has not been easy for you.
 
I rather suggest that you follow the instructions below to find it's much easier:
1) click on one of them, the messages you want to delete.
2) simultaneously press Ctrl and a key.
(3) the list of messages must be all shady. Right-click inside the shaded area
(4) click on delete.

I hope that this will make much easier for you to select and delete the mails all together.

 
Please write us back, if it has not been sufficient.

  • How to automatically clear all records deleted out of Windows Live Mail 2012

    I recently had 10 deleted Windows (it was causing all kinds of mischief) and have a lot of trouble with the store because they did not reinstall many of my files. I have since recovered all but a problem of e-mail. Until after all this, I had put my email to automatically empty all files deleted at the exit. Try as I might, I can't seem to find where I can enable this feature in Windows Live Mail 2012. Thanks in advance for any help with this.

  • Quick views in the pane of folders in Windows Live Mail

    I recently received some emails that are not in my Inbox.  Two of them came in fast mode as 'Spam '. I have read them and tried to designate them as "not Spam." However I can't locate.

    Today I received another email and it appeared in the Quick views as "unread". I read the e-mail, but now cannot locate. After reading it, the email disappeared quickly.

    All emails appear on my tablet. I am a little concerned that the emails are important and I can't afford is not to see them easily. Normally all the emails only appear in the Inbox and I don't understand what is happening.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hi Bob,

    Thanks for posting the query on the Microsoft Community Forums. You have reached the right place. Let us work together to find the cause of this problem and try to solve.

    A quick view is view a selection of messages in mail folders. Any message that you see in the Quick views is actually located in one of the folders that you can see in the files pane. Windows Live Mail only 'auto delete' whatever it is. If you are facing the same question next time, hear is the procedure to enable or disable the quick pane.

    Open Windows Live mail > toolbar above, click on view > click on filters > should be the point of view quick return at the top of the folders pane.

    I hope this helps. Let us know if you have other problems with Windows in the future.

  • Cannot delete emails in windows live mail.

    I have delete my emails, I no longer wish to keep, and they jump right there in 10 seconds approximately.  Have repeatedly deleted, some moved to senders blocked; they all come back, okay, how many time I select and remove.  Even tried to move to the change and delete from there.  I have no alternatives for other than Windows Live Mail email?  I really liked Outlook Express.  Also can I remove my e-mail from windows and reinstall to a single e-mail account.
    Thank you.

  • Import storage folders in Windows Live Mail

    I'm the data transfer between an old hard drive on a hard nine.  I have all my messages, which included a large number of records of the old "exported" disk drive storage  Now I'm trying to "import" messages and he tells me that the records "are empty or currently in use by another program".  They are not empty... I see clearly that the date transferred correctly.  How can I get the messages and storage records are imported into Windows Live Mail on my new hard drive?

    Thank you

    Problem solved.  As it came from WLM, I said that the import program just WLM.  When I said that he was from Windows Mail, it transferred OK.

  • Cannot delete messages in Windows Live Mail after returning from 10 of Windows to Windows 7

    Separated from this thread.

    Hello. Want to jump in here even if it is an old thread. I have the same problem and have tried all the suggestions, my problem actually started when I upgraded to my wife and many win 10 is not ready for the change, so I'm back to Win 7 Home Premium. I contacted Ms. Tech Chat and was told to uninstall Windows 7 to "perhaps" to solve the problem. This is not acceptable. Everyone has to come with a fix or work around.

    Want to jump in here even if it is an old thread.

    It is rarely a good idea. If the solution has not worked, it is always best to use the option to ask a question on the menu to participate to start your own thread. There are so many variables involved that universal solutions are difficult to find. This is especially true when the title of the thread in the validation is not specific. For example, you also see a reading UID store failederror message?

    I have the same problem...

    I doubt it, because...

    ... my problem actually started when I upgraded to win 10 and... returned to Win 7

    It's a completely different scenario that could not arise last May when the thread you posted in was up-to-date.

    It seems that many of those who go back to Windows 7 from Windows 10 experience a corruption of the store folder (the folder where messages, calendars and the account settings are stored). According to your storage folder is how complex (several accounts, calendars a lot, a lot of messages number of files), it can be simpler to just create a new storage folder and fills again:

    1. Looking at your list of messages in Windows Live Mail, press Ctrl-Shift-O for Options. On the Advanced tab, click Maintenance and then store the file. Copy the path to locate the storage folder.
    2. Close Windows Live Mail and wait a few minutes (the program will continue to run in the background, while he does his household).
    3. Press the Windows key + E to open an Explorer window, and then paste or type the path that you copied to the (1) in the address bar and press ENTER. This should open your storage folder.
    4. Right-click on the name of the folder in the navigation pane, and select Rename. Call the Live Mail Backup.
    5. A repair must check that all the program files are present and correct and properly registered, as appropriate. To do this, close all running programs, and then press Windows key + R, type wlarp and press ENTER. In the window that opens, select repair all Windows Essentials programs:


    When it is finished, restart the computer.
    1. Start Windows Live Mail and wait the program installs before doing anything. Press Ctrl-Shift-T to start the add your Assistant e-mail accounts and follow the prompts to add your e-mail accounts.
    2. Click once on the work online on the status bar and deconnecter disconnect Internet to avoid interference email downloads, and then use the file > import messages (I Alt - F) and point the wizard to the Live Mail Backup folder level. Do not intervene while the import happens.
    3. Leave the program alone for a while (an hour or two, or even a night or more) to enable him to reindex all your messages, then close and wait half an hour for the program to do his household.
    4. Relaunch the program and look at your messages under folder imported into storage folders. Take it slow, drag files out of any folder and drop in the location you want. Again, give the program time to re - indexing messages in their new location.

    Note that you can not drag files out of storage files. If you want to forward messages to a high plu account folder in the folders pane, you need to select messages to transfer, and then use the right click > move or copy folder. The controls are also available as buttons in the folders of the Ribbon tab.

  • Recovery of emails to a deleted account in Windows Live Mail 2011

    Hello

    I recently installed MS Outlook on my PC.  As such, I wanted to avoid future e-mails sent on behalf of Windows Live Mail that I now want to use it just for Hotmail.
    In order to test the Outlook installation, I thought I want to remove my account from Windows Live Mail in the understanding that it would simply be the future email delivery.  However, it seems surprisingly have removed all traces of the account and all associated records.  These appear to be no cases on the hard drive at all and even do a system restore did not return.
    I can't believe for one moment that Microsoft would be so easy to lose so much important data so easily and would appreciate some advice on how I can restore or access these emails.
    Thank you

    The warning appears only for POP3 accounts, but it always appear for these accounts. Other accounts (IMAP, HTTP) keep all messages showing in WLMail on the server, so remove such an account will result in no data loss.

    If you are using Windows 7, you can restore a previous version of your storage folder.

  • "The action cannot be completed because the file is open in another program" error when you try to delete folders in Windows 7

    I've just updated 5 machines for a client to windows XP Pro to Windows 7 Pro. their data is stored on a server (SBS 2003) and so far, if they wanted to move files or folders or update documents Word / Excel sheets that they could do to will be no problem. What seems to happen now, is that if they try to edit files, then re-save (Word Documents, data sheets Excel etc), they are told the file is in use and changes cannot be saved. We have also upgraded their MS office Pro 2003 to 2010 Small Business but this seems to affect all based not only social files, so for example if I try and move a PDF file from one folder to another I get "file is used and can not be moved / deleted.

    I also have another customer with the same problem, same configuration (positions upgraded Windows XP Pro to Windows 7 Pro) they also have problems with moving / deleting files from the shares on a SBS 2003 Server?

    I checked the server and the files are certainly not open where else?

    Can someone help me on this...

    I also tried the following to see if I can cure the problem:

    I changed the parameters of GP on Small Business SERVER 2003 as follows:

    User configuration - administrative models - Windows components.

    • Click on Windows Explorer.
    • Right click on the entry 'disable caching of thumbnails in the hidden thumbs.db files', then select Edit.
    • Select the parameter.

    like apparently Windows 7 stores files in a Thumbs.db file information & to see if that makes a difference, but still no change.

    It's seriously trying my patience and my clients are now wondering if they have windows XP back!

    Surely theres a fix for this somewhere?

    Should also add that I have disabled offline files that I thought that this may be the cause of the problem, but no change.
