Deleting multiple messages in X6

how can i delete multiple msgs on the X6 at one go? say if i have 50 msgs and i need to delete 20 together. there is only an option to mark all msg or mark each msg separately!

sorry i m afraid you'll have to mark all those 20 separately.
Like;
Options>mark/unmark>mark>#1
Next don't go to Options, but tap the next msg you want to delete, a popup comes>mark/unmar>mark
Do the same with all others.
at end Options>delete

Mail 5.3 is deleting multiple messages when I click the trash button only once! Is there a fix for this bug?

Hi,
Any help appreciated! I recently ungraded to OSX 10.7.5 (Lion) and ever since, I am having trouble with my mail that I did not have before. When I am going through messages and I use the trash button, it sometimes deletes multiple messages that I have not even opened or read yet. I only click the button once. Any ideas how to correct this?
Thank you!

Thank you. I figured it out right before I heard from you. Running the OCR before the redaction made it work correctly.
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question.
Make it a great day.

Why we can't delete multiple message in iphone

Hi,
I have iphone 4S, IOS 5.1.1 . I am wondering for long time why in iphone i can't delete multiple message in a single. This looks to be a very basic requiremnt for most of us i guess. Any idea why it is not supported ? and any guess if it will be available in IOS 6 ?
thanks....
regards,
rubesh

I dont think there is a specific reason for this. If you feel this would be a good new feature, then let apple know. They have a page for feature requests: www.apple.com/feedback

Deleting multiple messages

I have a Macbook Pro, I now have Mountain Lion. Previously with Snow Leopard to delete from mail a group of messages from one source, you just scrolled down all the messages - it to a couple of seconds - and then press delete - easy! Why now do you have to click on every message - it is cumbersome and takes time and I am therefore not erasing my emails - and keep getting messages that my inbox is full!
Please can someone give me a simple explanation of how I can multi delete - and if not can someone from Apple explain why they took this simple but useful task away when they created Mountain Lion. In fact I find the whole Mountain Lion mail display system over complicated and having used it now for several months I still hate it and still dont understand it. It may be great for people who are computer savy but for the likes of me it is awful.
Thanks!

Many thanks for your swift reply, however clicking on every message is what I want to avoid it is far too time consuming. Is there not a way that I can scroll down (as with Leopard) highlighting all the messages (sometimes there are up to 20) rather than clicking each one individually. If there is not why did Apple choose to remove this? It was obviously used a lot, as many people are now asking how they can delete multiple messages.

IOS 4 Error: "Unable to Move Messages" when Deleting Multiple Messages

Using an iPhone 4 and IOS 4.x (all versions to date including 4.1) if I'm in the All Inboxes view and use Edit to select multiple messages from more than one Exchange account and then delete them I get the following error:
Unable to Move Messages
The messages could not be moved to the mailbox Trash.
Deleting multiple messages from a single Exchange account is fine, but when selecting messages from more than one account the message pops up as many times as messages I'm trying to delete. I currently have three Exchange accounts on both 2003 and 2007 servers. This issue persists across multiple iPhone 4s as well as after a complete restore and manual setup of the Exchange accounts from scratch.

Not sure if this will work for the first poster, but it might for you, Busta999.
I have my email set up as an IMAP account and was getting the same "unable to move..." message for individual deletions. I suspected the problem for me had to do something with the trash bin on the phone and the trash bin on the server not communicating properly. I tried this and it worked for me, although from other posts, I see it doesn't work for everyone:
1. Go to "Settings"
2. Select "Mail, Contacts, Calendars"
3. Select the mail account in question
4. Select "Account Info"
4. Select "Advanced"
5. Select "Deleted Mailbox"
6. Under "On My Server", Click the "Trash" folder (or whatever your trash folder is called on your server). This should put a check mark beside it.

How Can I delete multiple messages from the same address in Mac Mail

Hope this is in the correct Community. Hope someone can help me to delete multiple email messages from the same email address.
At the moment I can do it by holding down the Command key and highlighting each email, but that can be difficult with many messages
to delete. Is there a quicker way?
Thanks for any help on this.

Thanks for the reply, appreciate your input. I did find another way of doing it and that is to highlight the first e-mail, hold down the shift key and click on the last one. That highlights them all and then they can all be deleted. Your ideas also work of course and I thank you for that. Cheers.

In Earthlink Webmail, the "check all" and "delete" button for deleting multiple messages no longer function (although they work in I explorer).

When using the webmail application for earthlink email, the "check all" option to select an entire page of messages at once no longer functions. Same problem with the "delete" buttons that are located at the top and bottom of the page with multiple messages. Consequently, the only way to delete a message is to open the message and delete it in that view -- extremely tedious if there are a lot of messages.
This is a recent change, in the last few days. Everything works fine in I explorer. Earthlink support suggested I start Firefox in safe mode and restore firefox default settings. I went through the process on the help page. It didn't help.
I'll provide the earthlink link, but it is my email page that is the problem.

Same here.
- select multiple mails with the SEARCH option (manually selecting seems to work fine)
- click the move button
- list of folders appears (witn account & cancel options that both still work)
- click on a folder
- mail flies to this folder (animated)
- list of folders remains visible
- the cancel button does NOT work
- the accounts button takes you back to the root "directory" of your accounts
- in my case "live" and "exchange"
- this screen is a dead end. Clicking on both the account names and the cancel button do not work
A complete restart fixes the problem

How to delete multiple messages in the same mailbox all at once? Unity Connection

I just was assigned the task of administrating three Unity Connection servers that are networked. The Operator mailboxes on each system have been taking messages since 2010 and have over 5 thousand messages in them (nearly 3 mega bytes). I've corrected the set up so the mailboxes no longer are taking messages, but would like to delete all the new messages in order free up memory resources, and I don't want to undo all the Call Handler relationships in order to delete the mailboxes and then recreate them, etc. I used the PCA tool to clean up the Operator MBX on a standalone Unity Connection that had nearly 1800 messages, but it took nearly 30 minutes for the PCA tool to load and another 4.5 hours to delete one message at a time (major carpal tunnel afterwards!). For these mailboxes with 5-6K messages, the PCA tool was not loaded after 3 hours!   Is there a faster, more efficient tool for deleting all new messages in a single mailbox? (i.e., Message Hunter?)

Hi There,
+5 to heath for his good notes!
One nice way with Unity Connection is with the use of this excellent tool from the great suite of Unity Tools (use the ** reset" feature **).
Unity Connection Bulk User Delete
For resetting users you have the option of emptying the mailbox, resetting greetings, deleting voice names, resetting passwords, removing private lists and a number of other options you may choose.   For installations where the user base “changes over” frequently such as schools this may be a nicer option. This option is also allowed for CoRes installations since it does not involve the removal of user objects from the Connection database.

How to delete multiple messages in mail

How to select a bunch of messages in mail to delete.

I Wonder if your sitting there laughing at us as if there is some big conspiracy about selecti all and deleting all from our iPhones and iPads.
The conspiracy.
Why can we not just not select all in the mail inbox and then delete all, if we do not want to delete every single one of them then deselect the few that we do not want to delete instead of having to select the thousands we do want delete individually.
And if you do make a mistake and delete the wrong emails by selecting all, then go to your trash and reinstate the ones you did not want to delete
I think 99% of us know how to DELETE emails individually, as you put it.
That's just sarcasm and if not then then your not fully understanding the question asked.
I would also say that probably 99% of us want to be able to select all and delete all if that's what we desire.
I would just like a honest answer of why we cannot select all delete all rather than giving me a load of rubbish about encase we delete something we didn't want to delete.

TS3899 How do I select and delete multiple messages from mail?

How can I select mutiple messages in my inbox and send them all to the trash without selecting each message and trashing it? Using the "Mark All" command does not give me that option--only the "Flag" and "Mark as Read" options.

I know there is no delete all option within Mail app but this workaround does the trick
1. Go to your inbox
2. Press Edit
3. Tap any message once to select it
4. Press AND HOLD the Move button
5. While still holding the Move button, tap the message you selected
6. Release the Move button
7. This will bring up a dialog box asking you which folder you’d like to move all your messages to – just select the Trash folder and you’re all done

TS4009 how do i delete multiple messages in Mail

For a variety of reasons I have 8000+ messages in my icloud Mail inbox. Deleting them individually would take forever and even using the shift key to delete a block would be very time consumming because I can only see less than ten per page.
How can I speed up the deletion process eg is there anyway to do a serch for say all the Facebook messages, not just the ten which would show up on the page from a search, and then delete everyone?
Any suggestions very welcome - thanks

Hi Nick,
Can I check we are all using the same language for the same items ?
In the File Menu of Messages is the Delete Conversation with the keystrokes of CMD + Backspace is listed.
If you highlight an individual IM in the Chat window side then whole conversation will be deleted after you confirm deletion.
There is no Menu item for removing individual IMs or iMessages from such a chat/conversations.
However, as I eventually understood Sig to be saying, you can highlight items in the chat window side and use the backspace (delete) key and remove those individual items from the chat/Conversations.
As Messages is iChat+ and has iMessages added to what iChat could do I refer to Buddy List connections as "IMs" for individual parts and "Chats" for the whole thing.
Whereas I say "iMessages" for individual parts and "Conversations" for the whole thing for the iMessages connections you have going on.
I stated this in my original reply
In an open Conversation or Chat individual IMs or Messages also cannot be selected to be deleted.
Highlighting one message and then using CMD + Backspace will produce the Pop up to delete the whole Conversation/Chat.
As I have posted to Sig I made the mistake of using the File Menu keystroke for deleting a Conversation/Chat when trying to delete individual IMs/iMessages and informed you incorrectly about this.
I apologise for any confusion this has caused.

In yahoo mail, can I delete multiple messages at once?

For example, I'd like to try to clean up my mailbox. On an MS OS, I can do a search on "sears", everything with that word is displayed. I can then delete them all at once, usually with just one click. Is there something similar on a MacBook Air? Thanks!

Hey,
To delete them locally:
*IMAP account [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Deleting_messages_in_IMAP_accounts]

To delete them on the server:
This will depend on your settings on the server.

Multiple message deletion functionality disappears

My iPhones 5S with iOS 8.1 loses multiple message deletion functionality. I tap a message in communication thread, chose more options, mark messages to be deleted and push waste bin. When used a few times the waste bin is replaced with camera options and deleting multiple messages is not possible; see screenshot. In order to re-establish the functionality, I have to close the message app down and restart it. Are there any solutions or work around to this?

Hi Kare Gronholt,
If you are having issues with your iPhone's ability to delete multiple messages, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
OS: Force an app to close
Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
