Clearing content of in-box

I  have 6000+ unread e-mails in my in-box. it would be helpful to know whether or not one can delete them permanently en masse or whether one has to do it one at a time.? Where will they be stored and can one empty this easily?

Welcome to the forum. If you mean in webmail, go the Inbox and click the square at the left end of the row just above the first message. This will tick all the messages. Then just click Delete.
The messages will be stored for a while in the Trash folder before being finally deleted automatically; you can go to Trash and repeat the above process if you want to get rid of the messages straight away.

  • Cinema Display (clear) with DVI/ADC box doesn't work with MacBook Pro

    Cinema Display (clear) with DVI/ADC box doesn't work with MacBook Pro when plugged in with a dvi to mini dvi cable. Any ideas what to do to make it work? I lugged the 23" 2500 miles into the wilderness and I need help

    Okay, here's an update: the DVI to ADC adapter does work with the Apple displays that I have tried, but it won't work with the Formac. I have tried multiple time to contact them, but to no avail... they don't even respond to threats of posting my opinion of them, which is this:
    DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM FORMAC! They make quality products, but their customer service is a big time joke! They won't take care of you.

  • I have a dialog window on my iPad2 labeled iCloud Bakup -- the iPad hasn't been backed up in 4 weeks. The screen is frozen. I can't clear away the dialog box to close down iPad and I can't get to settings to make any changes there. Ideas?

    A dialog box has appeared on the screen of my iPad2 and has frozen the device so that I can't close it down or make changes to the settings. The titel is "iCloud Backup" and it reads: This iPad hasn't been backed up in 4 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to WiFi.
    I'm not sure why it hasn't backed up but I can't do anything to clear the dialog box, turn off the device or get to any settings or apps on the device.
    Any suggestions? Please help -- I'm caring for my mother in hospice and don't have time to deal with this at the Apple Store!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until the device restarts, so you will be able to use the iPad again.
    It will try to make a backup every time your iPad is plugged to the charger and connected to a network. To prevent that this message appears soon, open Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, and choose Backup Now

  • Paste does not work in Safari browser to enter copied content into text box

    For example when I go to copy a URL Sosa to paste it into a text box on a local newspaper comment section, it won't paste in. Same goes for any pasting into the text box. I highlight what I want to copy (or cut) and the go to paste it into the text box, and nothing happens. Also there is this problem of the cursor not wanting to go where you direct it with your finger on the touch screen, where you have to get out of the data entry mode altogether then get back in to be able to continue typing to enter text, an d to add to the frustration, the cursor won't go where you want it to, but seems to arbitrarily choose an other place in the middle of the word next to where you want it to! Anyone experience this? I can't believe I'm the only one.

    Please don't take offense, you can't believe what some people post and then realize later that they have had a "duh" moment.
    I don't know what to suggest other the basic fixes, rebooting (holding the sleep and home buttons down until the Apple logo appears) and see if that helps - maybe clear the cookies and data in Safari even though that should not have any bearing at all on this issue or so I would think.
    I can relate to the cursor jumping on the screen issue as I do experience that from time to time. Not quite as bad as you seem to experience it, but it does happen to me as well. I have found that I get the best results using a light touch. And of course I will also enlarge the screen as well if I get too frustrated with the insertion point.
    Can we assume that you can copy and paste with the success in email, notes, etc?

  • Unable to access contents of "Out" box

    This forum was extremely helpful last time I encountered a mysterious snafu, so I am looking for help again.
    Whenever I open my Mail application, the window that shows first is whichever mailbox (In, Out, Drafts, Sent, Trash, etc.) I had open when I last quit the program. If this original window happens to not be the list of emails I need to begin my task, I will click on another of the mailbox or folder listings showing in the side 'drawer', extending left or right of this Mail window (i.e. to read new In mail). All of these mailboxes, with the exception of the "Out" box, are immediately preceeded by a right pointing arrow (flag?), which when clicked turns down and reveals the multiple contents therein. Also, the "In" box in this drawer always indicates in parentheses and bold italics the number of unread e-mails, when applicable.
    Recently, random emails have been getting caught in the "Out" box (not being sent), and the "Out" box in my side drawer now indicates in bold parentheses that there are seven emails trapped there, and I am unable to access the contents of this mailbox to attempt to re-send the emails that are occasionally getting stuck there. Normally, I have been able to still send email most of the time since noticing this situation, and there appears to be no obvious pattern regarding which mail does actually get sent and which gets jammed up in this "Out" box. When I do click on the "Out" mailbox (the only one with no arrow), the resulting "Out" window indicates 0 messages (0 bytes), yet as mentioned, it suggests a content of seven emails in the mailbox list of the drawer.
    First, how can I get to these inaccessible emails to either delete or re-send them? Next, how can I prevent future emails from randomly getting trapped and becoming lost, and why isn't my "Out" window showing a list of these seven emails much like any other mailbox will show all of its contents? Lastly, is there something on my hard drive which requires reconfiguration?
    Thanks in advance for any helpful comments.

    I don't know how helpful this will be, for previously there was a poster here, David Gimeo Gost who is a guru with Mail, but he has not posted for a long time. As your post is getting old, here is an attempt to offer some advice.
    The outbox is, as you have probably guessed, the repository for emails that failed to send, usually because the intended recipient's server is down, and they will sit there temporarily until Mail tries to send them later. Another possibility is that the address is invalid.
    If either of these things happen, you will be informed that it could not send the email and place it in your outbox until it tries again later. You should be able to see the contents.
    If the outbox shows (7) items but on clicking on it there are none, and you have not received any message notifying you of failed delivery, then it may well be that there is nothing in there, and that the supposed (7) emails is some display error occurring in Outbox.
    If you agree with this line of thought, you could simply delete the outbox by
    1. Have Mail closed.
    2. locate the ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Outbox.mbox
    and drag it to the Desktop. Opening Mail will create a fresh one, and hopefully one that shows no 'phantom emails'. You can always save the old one in another location until you are satisfied that there was nothing that failed to send.
    One thing to be mindful about is that when Mail's mailboxes get too large, erratic behaviour can result. In 10.3 this can happen if your mailbox starts to build into several hundred MBytes or more.

    Tom,
    It is a Value List I populate from a dataset.
    Currently I am using the following and it works fine.  However, some times the list are quit long and can take a couple seconds.  I was looking to see if there is a clear or drop list type process versus looping through.
        While Me.SelectCustomer_cbo.ListCount > 0
