How do i delete all messages from my email?

I had a server problem over the weekend and all of my email messages that i got from day #1 are reloading as new, unread mail. How can i delete them all(thousands). I'm using outlook and have not been able to sync my Inbox. Contacts and all else is fine.???

Check your account settings with Outlook for removing or deleting messages from the server when downloaded by Outlook.
The iPhone's email client includes the same settings, as do all email clients for a POP account.
I would handle this with Outlook. Delete and recreate the account with Outlook, and before checking the account for new message with Outlook, select remove or deleted messages from the server when downloaded for the account preferences with Outlook.
All messages available on the server will be downloaded again by Outlook, and removed from the server when doing so. You can mass delete all messages from Outlook.
When deleting and recreating the account with the iPhone's Mail client, none of these messages will be downloaded by the iPhone's Mail client after being removed from the server when downloaded by Outlook.
Or since you likely have webmail access for this account using a browser, you can mass delete all messages available on the server via webmail access. After deleting the messages from the server, delete and recreate the account with the iPhone's Mail client.
An IMAP account is much easier in this regard, which is designed to be accessed with multiple email clients on different computers or devices.
A POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client on one computer or device.

  • How can i link my E-mail with my iPad in a way that i can delete my messages from my email inbox server not from my iPad inbox only?

    How can i link my E-mail with my iPad in a way that i can delete my messages from my email inbox server also not from my iPad inbox only?
    Because when i delete emails from my iPad inbox, it will be deleted on my iPad only but when i check my email inbox server from the browser its not deleted!
    So how can i set up this link so when i delete any email from my iPad it will be deleted from my email inbox server also?

    Hi Pierrot10,
    Insert your backup disc (or plug your external hd), then open Mail.
    In the File menu, click *Import Mailboxes* and follow the steps for a *Mail for Mac OS X* transfer.
    Navigate to your CD/DVD's or external HD's backup and hit "OK".
    This should create a new "Imported" folder in Mail with all your old messages in it, that you can then rearrange as you wish, creating new mailboxes etc.

  • How can I delete text messages from my iphone?

    Hello everyone,
    How can I delete text messages from my iphone?  I do not want to reset my iphone setting. If it is nesscary to reset my iphone setting, will I lose everything?
    Please let me know,
    Thanks,

    Just delete them. Or, do you mean beyond just deleting them? Then, you'd need to wipe the phone - select Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. That's a secure wipe of the iPhone contents, takes several hours (connect to AC power). You'll need to set your phone up from scratch (and erase the old backup(s) from your computer, since your SMS history is part of the backup).

  • How do I delete all messages at once on my iPad

    How do I delete all messages at once on my ipad?

    iOS 7 does not give you a way to delete all your text messages at once.
    While you can delete multiple messages within a conversation thread (tap and hold a message bubble, then click more; you'll see it), there's no way to delete more than one conversation thread at once. You have to slide each thread and then tap delete.

  • How do you delete specific message from users in Exchange 2013 DAG database?

    Our network has been inundated with spam from INTUIT.COM with the SUBJECT: PAYMENT OVERDUE and contains a link to download a form from a Dropbox. Obviously, very suspicious and clearly spam. We're using Postini as our Edge Transport/ Spam filter but messages
    are still getting in. I've enable anti-spam on all my mailbox servers, set the SCL values but that hasn't worked.
    I understand that Exchange Edge Transport role has the more aggressive spam fighting features but Microsoft also recommends an online spam filter. 
    Needless to say, we've taken steps to quarantine those messages based on subject and sender in Postini but now would like to delete those messages from the users in went to. My users are two different DAG mailbox databases. I found this article http://www.techieshelp.com/delete-mail-from-multiple-mailboxes/ but
    the command didn't work. I'm thinking its because I have DAG and a couple of databases. I even tried "get-mailbox -database "databasename" | search-mailbox -searchquery subject: "Payment Overdue"" and that didn't work. 
    I'm running Exchange 2013 SP1 DAG across two sites comprised of four 2013 SP1 mailbox servers.

    Check this out
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff459253%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx and specifically look at the section titled  "Search messages and log the search results"
    Or you can use this
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996371%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx with the WHATIF parameter
    Alternatively if you are open the 3rd party solutions check out Lucid8's DigiScope
    http://www.lucid8.com/product/digiscope.asp
    which would allow you to see the search results and then delete OR if desired you can set the On FIND action to Export to PST and then Delete so that you can preserve and then remove messages on the fly as the search system finds
    Search, Recover, & Extract Mailboxes, Folders, & Email Items from Offline Exchange Mailbox and Public Folder EDB's and Live Exchange Servers or Import/Migrate direct from Offline EDB to Any Production Exchange Server, even cross version i.e. 2003 -->
    2007 --> 2010 --> 2013 with Lucid8's

  • Why cannot I delete all messages from all my devices?

    I have 3 Apple devices (personal MBP, work MBP, and iPhone). I run messages on all of them. If I send/receive a message from someone, I receive it on all devices, but I have to delete the message from ALL my devices - deleting it one just doesn't work. It is like Messages works like email with POP instead of email with IMAP. Extremely  frustrating, and I believe that this is working as designed. Why???

    for the   Points
    Neither of us said we liked it.
    Like you I think it is flawed and certainly a misuse of the word Sync.

  • How do I delete all photos from iPhoto?

    My MAC is running very slowly and I have backed up all of my photos to an external drive. How do I delete all the photos from my iPhoto?

    Becky you can navigate to the iPhoto's library which is likely in your Pictures folder in your user account. You can simply move that to the Trash. HOWEVER please please please move that folder to the EHD you now have and have iPhoto point to that drive. Apple explains how to do this in iPhoto '11: Move your iPhoto library to a new location
    Once you have successfully moved the library you can then trash the old library and then empty the Trash. I suspect your performance issue may be due to a HD that is too full or it is also possible the HD could be failing too.

  • How do i delete all contacts from my iPhone 4

    How do i delete all the contacts in my iphone 4?

    Okay so I've been playing around with it. There are way too many places to turn on and turn off contact syncing!  It's really absurd.  Not only do you have to enable it through system preferences on the iPhone and on the Mac and other devices, but you also have to make sure "Default account" in system prefs is set to "iCloud' and not exchange, and you have to make sure to go to Address Book preferences on the Mac and check "Enable" under "iCloud" and then manually move your contacts to the "iCloud" slot (in address book) from the "On My Mac" slot.  And that's just what I found before I finally got it to work.
    ***?  Anyway, it's working now for me.

  • How do I delete text messages from my mobile hotspot?

    I get non-verizon text messages on my jetpack.  I'd like to delete them, but can't figure out how.
    [I did figure out how to block at least some of them tonight - I don't want to have to pay to receive texts about free cruises to the Bahamas!]

    Which Jetpack? On a 5510L, login to the web interface at http://192.168.1.1, navigate to Messages, scroll to the bottom of the page and click “Delete All Messages!”

  • How can I delete saved messages from my iphone 5s to be able to update it?

    I have needed to update my Iphone 5s from the past 2 updates but it says that I have 4.2 GB of saved messages.  I don't know where to go to delete them.  I delete regular messages from my phone daily so I'm not sure what is being saved and where.
    Thanks!

    You would need to set up your mail account as a POP account instead of IMAP.
    I'm not sure if Hotmail/msn offers that -

  • How do I delete all photos from iOS7 iPhone

    I have about 40GB of videos and images on my iPhone.
    How can I delete all of them at once?

    Thanks - the part with " Image Capture" App works fine.
    On iOS7 the described option is no available so there doesn't seem to be an easy way to delete all images.
