Can't delete previous unread messages in hub pinch view via select previous (hold date line)

Happily running OS 10.2.1.2141 on my Z10 (STL100-3). I was thrilled to see the hub's Pinch Selection Criteria option in 10.2.1 but did not have the occasion to try it. Then this weekend, my mailbox got flooded with email notices from our alert system and I was facing having to delete hundreds of emails the old tedious way, multi-select each email one at a time and hit the delete option.  Well, that's when I tried to use the hub's new pinch selection option to "hide" my read messages. I then held the date line to select all the previous messages and hit the delete option which asked my if a really wanted to delete those messages. I confirmed by choice and poof! nothing happened. I tried several times to no avail, even trying with flagged messages. It looks like you can't delete messages while in Pinch Selection view if you select them via the Select previous (hold date line) method. It does work if you select/multi-select the messages manualy but what's the point then?....
So, unless i'm doing it wrong, this appears to be a bug.
Regards,
Francis.....

when I pinch and hold a date bar, I get the trash can... do you not?

Yup, that's the tedious way I've always used, ok for a few emails, unacceptable for hundreds of emails.....
Oh, yea for hundreds. Do you get hundreds each day you need to delete?
Once you get caught up on your deleting, then your daily upkeep should be a reasonable low effort.
Anyways, that's how it works.
If you feel it is an OS issue... what OS are you on?

    maybe i should try reset device? which i dont want to as it's new.
    1. Resetting a device such as your Z10 involves only removing the battery while powered on. You will lose no data or anything, it is a simple reboot, not a factory reset.
    2. There is a known bug on deleting some Facebook messages. Basically, some won't delete and will continue to sync back.

  • Can't delete a Facebook message from Hub list

    After a solid week of problems, my Z30 is or was fully functional...except I am not able to delete a pvt faceboook message on the the Hub list. It has been deleted on my fb page, but the greyed out fb icon and the message on the Hub does not respond to the pressing of the  "This will delete the selected item" button....please, please, please don't tell me I have to do a factory reset after what I've already gone thru!....thanks for any help anyone can give me!....Bill 

    Arthur, OK that is easier...also, I was able to find another solution on the CB forum. Just go to Settings>Accounts>unselect sync messages. That gets rid of all the messages, then go back and select turn sync messages back on. That seems to be a reset that is a permanent fix. Don't know how I missed that setting to begin with...maybe age something to do with it? Anyway, thanks Arthur and I hope you have a merry Christmas!

  • HT201320 How do I delete the unread message number when I have no unread messages in my inbox?

    I have a number attached to my mail folder which is 978unread messages, but I can't find any unread messages. How do I get rid of this number. Also I have over 1000 flagged messages but I have none. How do I delete these numbers.

    In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account.  The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
    Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

  • I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id.  Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id.  How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

    I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id.  Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id.  How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

    If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    How can I delete Skype SMS messages from my I-Pad?

    This is a user-to-user forum. Everyone here is a volunteer. Sometimes it takes longer than two minutes to get answer. Additionally, it's a support forum for Apple products, not Skype. You might get lucky and get an answer, you might not. While you're waiting, why don't you try Skype support?

  • HT1430 I can't delete 2 email messages. All others delete properly, however 2 will not delete no matter what I try. A pop up message comes up and says "cannot not delete"

    I can't delete 2 email messages that I received on the same day from one of my email accts. I have **** down the device and reset the device with no resolution to the problem. I can forward these two messages to our other acct and it will delete from there but returns to my personal email again, repeatedly. All other messages that I have deleted from my acct delete properly. I get a pop up indicating that " the message cannot be deleted". How do I fix this?

    Delete the mail account and setup again.

  • Why can't I delete all incoming messages at once without having to select each one first. It can be done while in the "Trash" folder, but not the "IN" folder.

    Why can't I delete all incoming messages at once without having to select each one first. It can be done while in the "Trash" folder, but not the "IN" folder.

    Well, what I see happing is this: Tapping edit and checking the first message brings up the “Delete” option. Holding it until the red message “Delete Message” appears, then letting go of the red button and tapping the checked button makes the “Delete Message” message go away. The checked message is still checked with an option to delete just that message. Tap the checked message again just cancels the whole process and I’m back to square one.
    However, if I check a message that is part of a thread of messages and tap Delete, I have the option of deleting all messages in the thread.
    Perhaps the fact that I’m using the 3rd generation of the iPad is the problem, but your suggestion isn’t working.

  • How can I delete folder in Messages - Show Folder

    Hi.
    I have BB9900. When I will go to Messages->Show Folder – then I see Folders  And there is some e-mail adress, inbox etc. many of them. There is also one e-mail address which is not used for me now – it’s used in past. I would like to delete that folder. How can I do that?
    Thank you in advance.

    Double posting does not get a quicker response, it just upsets people and takes up more space.

  • Can't delete more than 5 podcasts at a time via Smart Playlists

    Can't delete more than 5 podcasts at a time via Smart Playlists, using the Shift+Delete keys to force deleting the source podcast.
    Becomes VERY tedious to get rid of old podcasts with certain "smart playlist" filters.
    Advice? Bug?

    I should add that I face the same problem with Safari and Google Chrome.
