  • The best way to delete multiple messages from Inbox?

    I left tens of hundreds, 1000s?, emails in my sent and Inbox. And I want to remove them. Is there a quicker way then one by one? I tried to hold the CTRL key and highlighting several emails without success. Please help an elderly person... Thank you, Dennis

    CTRL works, but you get only select or deselect a mail with a simple click. Shift allows to choose between the two clicks and ctrl + A selects everything in the folder.

    By doing this kind of thing, pressing DELETE is perhaps better than using your mouse as it is easy to spoil the selection carefully with a mouse jiggle at the wrong time. (Experience speaking here)

    I recently deleted a load of messages in the Inbox of reception and Sendbox - but that did not help.

    I tried to change the port number - but get the same question.

    I don't know if the problem is with Windows Mail or server btinternet.  The server stores not an excessive number of messages.

    As I thought might be the case, the problem was at the level of the BT server.

    I logged the issue with the support of BT Office.  Initially they wanted me reinstalled Windows Mail (and potentially lose all my email archives).  I resisted that and they to the engineering team.  I don't know what they have done (I'm told it was a known problem and they had to set some parameters at the end of the server).

    Everything they do seems to have solved satisfactorily the question, which has not reappeared.

    I think that it's rarely worth to try to resolve the generic Windows error codes only via Windows.

    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and then create new folders to send and sent items box after having moved the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.
     
    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
     
    In Windows XP, the files of user OE (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.
     
    With OE closed, find the DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.
     
    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    General precautions for Outlook Express:
     
    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

  • ICloud emails disappear at the time of my Macbook Pro when I delete a message from iCloud of one of them?

    I'm an old Geezer Mac, but a Newbie iCloud. I just put on my two Macbook Pro iCloud email addresses and access e-mail through Apple Mail on both computers. Here are my two questions:

    (1) iCloud emails disappear at the time of my Macbook Pro when I delete a message from iCloud of one of them?

    (2) if I move an e-mail message to iCloud Inbox Mail at Mail Archive on a Macbook, can I delete the message from the second Macbook without losing the archived message?

    Yes, that is what is supposed to happen with an IMAP e-mail account.

    If you move it to a folder on the Mac, not in the iCloud account, you can remove safely icloud.

  • Windows Mail is deleting all messages from my Inbox

    Earlier today, my Windows Mail used to have over 1000 emails in my Inbox. Tonight, I noticed that almost all of the emails in my Inbox were deleted.  If I navigate to another e-mail folder and return to the Inbox of messages more get erased.  The missing e-mails are not appearing in the file delete either.

    What caused my e-mails from 1000 to clear all of a sudden?  How can I recover my 1000 mails and how this fixed a bug?

    Thank you.

    Try this:

    Go to your Inbox > view > current view > check show all Messages.

    See if it works.
