Don't want to use Mail app any more; how do I delete all the downloaded mail?

New Macbook Air here.  I never used the Mail app before and thought I might try it, but I seem to have accidentally downloaded like 30,000 old Gmail messages to my computer and now I just don't want to use Mail any more.  How do I delete all these messages from my computer and just get on with my life?  I don't need all this old mail taking up space.

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

    Not on the mail app ... but sometimes when you go to the web interface (through the web browser) you have that ability to do it in bulk. It depends on who is doing the mail service (Yahoo, Gmail, or others).

    If you're positive the information is correct, ask the issuing bank why the transaction is being rejected.
    You're getting this error because the store can not authorize the card with your bank.

    Have you tried here:

  • I understand that many versions of any pictures are still on my computer (Masters???).  If I have a final I like, how do I delete all the others that are taking up space?

    I understand that many versions of any pictures are still on my computer (Masters???).  If I have a final I like, how do I delete all the others that are taking up space?  I have already put the originals into albums, edited them, and renamed them.  Can I/should I delete all other versions located in Masters, I think?  If I want to keep events, but want them to include the newly edited albums, can I delete the specific event and somehow bring the photos used in the album into a new event.  Understand iPhoto just keeps space or manages photos, so how can I have events that include the edited pix and clean up disk space.  Thanks.
    iPhoto 11 v9.4.2
    using Lion, updated, on iMac Pro.

    It's very simple. If you want to use iPhoto, just let it manage things as it does. Other than that: Export from iPhoto and delete the image from iPhoto. That will remove the master and all versions.
    If space is an issue... use an external disk.
    Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

  • HT201342 Currently I have 'on my mac' mail boxes (in MAIL) and I have folders and mail boxes in iCloud.  How do I transport all the folders/mail boxes from 'on my mac' to iCloud?

    Currently I have 'on my mac' mail boxes (in MAIL) and I have folders and mail boxes in iCloud.  How do I transport all the folders/mail boxes from 'on my mac' to iCloud?

    Are the mailboxes you are talking about belonging to other email accounts? You can't get iCloud to receive mail from other email accounts. However if you have 'On My Mac' mailboxes which contain emails you can move these (or their contents) to iCloud easily enough. For each mailbox:
    1.Create a new mailbox with the same or a suitable name on iCloud.
    2. Open the mailbox you want to move.
    3. Hit command-a to select all the messages.
    4. Click and drag on any of the messages to move it to the new mailbox in the sidebar.
    5. If there are a lot of messages, take the dog for a walk because it's going to take quite a long time as they all have to be uploaded
    If you have a very large number of messages don't try to do them all at once.

  • How do I delete all of my mail at the same time?

    How do I delete all of my mail at the same time? Or is this even possible? Thanks for your help.

    Unfortunately it isn't possible. You have to select one at a time. You might want to add your name to the many that have requested this feature in the past.

    how do i delete all the photos that are in that Photo app?   it is eating up all my memory

    Photos transferred from your computer are removed from the iPhone the same way they were transferred from your computer, via the iTunes sync process. To remove all such photos, deselect Sync Photos under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.
    Photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera followed by deleting the photos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete.

  • How do I get all the e-mail addresses alphabeticall when I want to send rather than all of them in no order

    Before this new version of Thunderbird, when I typed in the first letter of an e-mail address, it would display all the e-mail address starting with that letter and I could pick the address which I wanted. Now, when I type in the first letter of an e-mail address I get all the e-mail addresses in my address book in no particular order and I wind up with all the e-mail addresses in my 'write' command. If you pick the one you want to send, you invariably wind up with addresses you don't want in your 'to' box. Is there some way I can get back to the old system which was a lot easier and less frustrating than the new version that just seems to defy common sense and reasoning and is very inconvenient as it takes forever to get the e-mail address right that you want to send your message to?

    You probably need to go back to TB24.6
    https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/24.6.0/
    Choose your platform and then your language, click the offered file to download it, then run it.
    You want win32/ for any version of Windows.

    But the iPad mail app does not have one. You must select them one at a time.

  • Bought Iphone! But don't want to use it for calling! How to activate it ???

    Hi,
    just bought an Iphone but don't want use it for calling is there a way to activate it without having a contract with at&t or so! I mean I am not sure if there is a way to do this if anybody knows if it's possible and knows how to do it, I would be very THANKFULLLLLLLL!!!! I need help prettty fast thanks so much!

    Why start a new thread on the same topic as before the answers will all be the same you have to activate the iPhone through iTunes and sign a contract with AT&T to activate the iPhone otherwise you wont be able to take pictures or listen to music or use other features, didn't you do any research on the iPhone before purchasing it??? Sounds like you need to return your iPhone where you bought it and just pay the restocking fee and call it good.

  • HT204053 I have one apple id for my iPad and a second apple id for my iPhone and laptop. I just want to use one apple id. How do I delete the apple id on my iPad and make it consistent with the other two devices?

    I have one apple id on my iPad and a second apple id on my iPhone and laptop. I want to use one apple id for everything. I tried wiping my iPad and synching it with my laptop. The old apple id still remains on my iPad. I can't get rid of it. Help.

    On the iPad open Settings/iCloud and delete the account using the button at the bottom. Once deleted log in using the other account. For iTunes Stores use Settings/iTunes & Apps Stores, tapp on the Apple ID at the top then sign out. Once done sign in using the other account. Once you are happy with the changes plug your iPad into your computer to update the backup.
