Deleting Multiple (unread) messages aka Mouse Misbehaving

I am running the latest version of Leopard and Mail on my G5. I noticed that after activating Mobile Me that when I read mail and delete a message, that the one above (not read yet) also deletes. I then have to go to Edit > Undelete to get my unread message back. Thinking it might have been a Mobile Me issue, I stopped syncing Mail and have only the calendar in sync mode. That did not solve the issue.
Don't know if it is related, but I also note that with multiple windows open, when I reposition a window by grabbing the header, the window minimizes instead of letting me drag it to its new location.
I have not changed the mouse, no third party software etc.

Hello conniefromtulsa,
The process for deleting multiple messages is detailed in the iPhone User Guide:
Delete, move, or mark multiple messages. While viewing a list of messages, tap Edit. Select some messages, then choose an action. If you make a mistake, shake iPhone immediately to undo.

To 5hownewsday. Have you tried deleting with Delete all prior, and deleting each one by itself. I could not delete some texts also. So I found that deleting each one, one at a time worked for me.

How to delete atomically unread messages Mail Maverick?

I received a ton of emails and I will like to know step by step if is a way to delete unread messages completly for good in automatic way if let say I haven't read the email in 3 days?.....
thanks in advance.

You could make a rule up...
Select "Date Received" then "is greater than" "3" days old.
Perform the following actions:
"Mark as Read".
I know that isn't the answer you are looking for. But I do see an ability to run an AppleScript. Maybe someone knows how to create one that will say "if message is unread, delete it."

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.

Cannot delete multiple email messages on my Perl - HELP

I have a feeling that I am behind this issue, but I am stuck to even get a clue where to get started.
I have a Blackberry Perl 8130 and have used the Shift key to highlight multiple messages so I can delete them en masse.
Recently, I upgraded my Opera Mini 4.1 to my device and then decided to install the Google Maps application.
Well, after installing these items, I found that I could no longer use the Shift Key to assist me to select multiple messages for deletion.
I have uninstalled Opera Mini and will uninstall Google Maps next. My main concern is that whatever setting was affected will not be changed back.
Is anyone on the board familiar with this issue? Is this a setting that I can reset manually?
Thanks in advance for any and all responses.

I have had my 8130 for less than 2 months and was also completely at a loss on how to do this. Thanks! Kudos!

How do you delete multiple email messages without checking off each one at a time?

Looking for help to figure out how to delete emails previous to certain dates or in large quantity without clicking on each one. Already held down control button and tagged multiple emails...yet want to delete previous emails in large quantity.
Thanks in advance for help...

Click on the first one you want gone then
1) hold down the Shift and click on the last one you want gone when they are consecutive, then Right click and select Move to trash or Delete
2) Hold down either the Option or Control or Command key (Sorry I forget which key is used on the Mac for this, It is Control on PC) then click on the individual mails you want gone then as above.

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.....

that should be the point of the pinch selection criteria and you're select by sender.... let's see if anyone can reproduce the "bug" on their handsets or better yet, BlackBerry confirms it's a bug or poor design......
when I pinch and hold a date bar, I get the trash can... do you not?
fpaquin wrote:
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.

Deleting multiple test messages on ios 8

I have run into a weird problem since I started using ios 8. I get a lot of text messages (mobile notifications from twitter feeds) and when I touch a message, I get the Copy/More option with the little trash can showing up in the bottom left corner. I can then check each message I want to delete. No problem. When I stop deleting to read a message and then press a message to delete it, I don't get the trash can icon on the bottom so I can't delete it. I have to close the message app and reopen it to get the trash can back again. Anyone else experiencing this??

Deleting multiple chat Messages across devices

First in Moutain Lion, is there a way to select all conversation and close or delete, rather then selecting each conversation and closing them individually? Second, why aren't the conversations linked across all the devices deleted when you delete it on one device. It would seem that if you can chat across the platforms, that when you close the conversation on you iphone, then the conversation would close globally on your mac and ipad. Answers?

HI,
It seems that the thinking around the "Syncing" could fall in to two schools:-
1) The User can then use the Mac Version to Store Conversations rather then just keeping them on the iPhone or iPad.
2) The "Syncing" is more on the lines of "Display on all Devices" rather than an ability to change or react on one device and have it show on all.
I tend to Save my chats so I have not played with the options in the File Menu of Messages on the Mac.

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.

Is there any way to delete multiple spams at once, right now I go through each individually and delete it, but it's time consuming, thanks

Is there any way to delete multiple spam messages at once. Right now I go through each individual spam and delete one at a time. This is very time consuming. Any tricks out there.
Thank you

Hi LRagsdale517,
You should definitely be able to upload multiple files by Shift-clicking or Ctrl-clicking the files you want to upload. Just to make sure you don't have an old version of the service cached, please clear the browser cache and then log in to https://cloud.acrobat.com/files. After clicking the File Upload icon in the upper-right corner, you should be able so select multiple files for upload.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Wrong number of unread messages N9

One of POP3 accounts is misinformation about the number of unread messages. Where this information is stored and if we can change it.
I have 0 messages in this box, but in accounts screen in Fenix i have 1 unread. Some days ago i try to delete one unread message, but meanwhile my PC e-mail client just downloaded and deleted the message from server.
So i need to know where in OS is stored this information and, if possible, to change it.

Thanks for those thoughts BDAqua. I forgot to mention that I had done the usual disk repairs and permission repairs, and also trashed the Mail cache folder and EnvelopIndex file. I've even re-installed Mac OSX.4.11 Combo updater to no avail.
Here's another weird clue, as I realise it's occuring on all mailboxes:
I should preface this by saying that incoming mail gets routed via Mail rules to various mailboxes.
If I finish reading all the new mail in (say) my "Business" mailbox, its new mail indicator count disappears, as it should.
If I then click on my "Family" mailbox which might indicate 5 unread messages, the "Business" mailbox will then indicate 5 - it indicates whatever the unread number is in the mailbox I've just clicked on!
If I click back to "Business", Mail realises there are actually no unread messages and the count disappears again, but if I click back to "Family" it goes back up to 5 (or however many are unread in "Family" - or whichever mailbox I click on next.)
Very odd.
