Deleting MAssive Amount of Old E-mails

I have about 8,500 e-mails that are stored on my TRIO that I would like to delete. The phone seems to be slowing down quite a bit the longer I have it and this seems to be the problem. When I go to delete all e-mails older than a week, the phone freezes up. I did this before and the phone was on the same "delete" page 2 days after I went to delete the e-mails...is there any help in sight or am I past the point of no return?

Good morning joncan44, I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing this email issue with your Treo 755. I’ve also ran into this particular problem before, with my Treo 800 and what I’ve found is that mass email deletion is not a function of the mail application on your handheld. However, there is a workaround solution that I can provide you with that allows you to mass delete emails. First delete the email(s) from your desktop email client. Then perform a HotSync operation.

How to delete massive amounts of email on iPhone

Hi. I have over 1500 emails in an earthlink.net email account on an iPhone running iOS 8.1 and want to mass-delete all but the last 3 months — say 120 emails. Is there a way to do this other than one-by-one manually?

But I need to keep them on my computer. Or, are you saying that, once they've been downloaded to the Powerbook G4 and iPhone 4, if I delete them on webmail, they'll disappear from my iPhone?
I think my experience has been that, if I delete my road runner webmail emails, it has no effect on e mail already downloaded to my MPB or iPhone 5s.
I read a nifty-sounding 'trick' for deleting piles of email on an iPhone, but the tipper said not to try it on massive amounts or it would freeze up the iPhone. You check the top email (which activates the 'Move' button so it becomes clickable). Then holding the Move button, unclick the top email and wait, holding down 'Move' (while, seemingly, nothing's happening). Once all the email has been moved, you are presented with a screen with the option to move the moved mail to trash. I'll attach a screenshot of that screen, showing what happened just now to all the (16) emails presently on this iPhone 5s...

How to delete massive amount of duplicate songs in itunes library

how do i EASILY delete a massive amount of duplicated dongs in my iTunes library

Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

Can't delete or edit an old e-mail account

I just upgraded my iPhone from 1.1.4 to 2.0 and I had an old (inactive) e-mail account in on my phone. Now I can't remove it, edit it or do anything with it, it's just there. And when I try to open the Mail application it just hangs for 5 seconds and then closes it self.
I even tried using iTunes to remove the e-mail account by doing a sync with Mail Accounts in iTunes but then iTunes comes up with an error: "iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iPhone "My iPhone" because the mail accounts are in use by the iPhone."
Is this possibly a glitch in the software upgrade? Does some one know how I can fix this?

Did you ever find a fix for this? Mine is doing exactly the same thing, even with 2.01 - I hoped that might fix it. I'd rather not have to reset and erase the whole phone.

After deleting a contact, its old e-mail address continues to appear when I begin a new e-mail.

A person in my contact list has changed her email address. I deleted the old address and created a new one. When I begin to send an email to this person, both the old and new addresses appear as prompts. How do I permanently delete the old email address?

I was trying to delete a large number of e-mails from Stamp. I did something and now I can't delete any of my e-mails. What do I do to fix this.

I tried to delete a large # of e-mail. I did something that caused the computer to hum for a few minutes. All of the e-mails came back and now I can't delete any of my old e-mails. What did I do and how do I fix it?

The clipboard is a place in memory where text that has been copied from is temporarily stored ready to be pasted elsewhere.
The clipboard cannot be viewed, and is essentially invisible to the user. Copied text will stay on the clipboard until it is replaced by the next piece of copied text.
Probably what happened is you copied your credit card number from somewhere, either intentionally or accidentally (perhaps you made a purchase on your iPad using this card recently), and the clipboard stored the number. Then, whilst you were using Facebook you (accidentally) pasted this credit card number from the clipboard into your Facebook message.
That's the only likely reason I can think of. Hope I explained it well enough!

I want to sync my I phone user name (my current e-mail address) with my iPad, PC user name (old e-mail address.) If I delete that current address in the iPhone, won't I also be deleting it in my other devices? They are synced. I don't want to lose it

I want to sync my I phone user name (my current e-mail address) with my iPad, PC user name (old e-mail address.) If I delete that current address in the iPhone, won't I also be deleting it in my other devices? They are synced. I don't want to lose it. I just want to get it out of the way on my iphone so it doesn't confuse the transfer of ID names and then I want it back again.. I tried deleting the cloud account, being told the current e-mails would be spared. But all it did was pop up a prompt asking me for the password to my still current email ID. So I assume now that I have to go to mail and get rid of the e-mail account. But I'm scared I'll lose everything in my other devices too.

You can change the email address you use as your apple ID. this doesn't mean you have to delete the old email address as email.
When you delete an email from your device, it is only removed from the device, it does not delete your emails or the email account.

How do I delete an old e-mail account from my Apple ID?

When I purchased my iPad, I registered with an old y-mail account and a backup e-mail to my girlfriend's e-mail address, Now I have a g-mail account and need to delete the y-mail account and change the backup e-mail account. I cannot find information that will help me accomplish this.

Try here...
I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
Note: @mac.com and @me.com Apple IDs can not be renamed. If you no longer use the .mac or .me email address be sure to add your valid email address as an additional email address.

The guy at the Genius Bar has told you absolute and utter rubbish. It is true that Apple has stopped supporting iWeb, but it definitely DOES NOT mean that your website will stop working any time soon.
They should know that iWeb is an application on your Mac and as long as it is compatible with your OS - it works in Snow Leopard and Lion and will be compatible with the new Mountain Lion out this Summer, then you can still use it to build and maintain websites.
As long as your are not publishing your site to MobileMe, then you are okay - if you are publishing to a local folder and then uploading to another host that is fine and your site will not be going anywhere in a hurry.
You don't need to change software unless you really want to.

I have just started using Time Machine. I was thinking about deleting old E-Mails on my Mac to clean. Does Time Machine back up the E-Mails , if so how can I find them in Time Machine ??

If you back up your mac before deleting your emails, Time Machine should back up your e-mails.
I never tried this so i'm not sure to find them in Time Machine. To browse in your backups simply click the Time Machine icon in your dock. In the right bar, you can select an backup. Than you can browse in finder, in your backkup.
EDIT: Just browsed and CT above was right. This topic might help you:

With ios 7 there is a new feature that shows you all the music you purchased with your apple id. You can disable this by going to settings/music/show all-off. Also this helps with saving data usage if you do not have unlimited data.

Deleting an old e-mail account

I want to delete an old e-mail account from my iMac. Unfortunately, the only option I can find is to check or uncheck the "enable this account" box. Any way to completely delete an e-mail account from the mailboxes? Thanks!

Open Mail preferences and click on the Accounts icon in the toolbar. Select the account you want to delete in the list and click on the [-] button at the bottom of the list. Note that all the mail you have in that account will also be deleted. If you want to preserve any of it then create a new folder in your active mail account and then move all the mail from the old account into the new folder. Then delete the old account.

Won't delete old e-mails on Yahoo app

In the past week my wife's Galaxy S III had an issue crop up with her Yahoo mail app. She had some old e-mails saved in a folder appear in her InBox. When you open them to look at the subject matter, it's blank except for the subject. Since it was blank she decided to delete it. After it has been deleted it reappears in the InBox after it has refreshed. She has about 6 old emails like this that won't delete, I even tried moving them back to their original folder and moving them to Spam, with the same outcome. It logged on to her account on our home computer and it shows everything is normal, none of those emails show in the inbox. It's like two separate accounts. I stopped by my local Verizon store and after 45 minutes to an hour the Rep. there gave up and suggested that I contact Verizon CS Level 2 support to see if they can help. They're my next stop, unless someone here has a solution.

Thanks for contacting the community forums, kscfire. I had a similar situation on my Android device. I was able to log into a computer to delete the email that kept showing a subject but empty body.
You can also clear the cache for the email http://bit.ly/UasC7T to see if that works. Once cleared, power off/on and check the email box again.
Worst case scenario, remove the email app and reinstall it.
