How do I delete large quantities of e-mails without clicking each individual one?

I am away from my desk , sometimes for days at a time. I easily received 50+ e-mails a day, and if I don't have time to just sit and individually go through and delete each one I don't need, it builds up to crazy numbers....I am currently at over 10,000 unread messages. I would like to be able to "select all" then simply click on the e-mails I want to keep...there will be a lot less clicking if I can do that. How might I make this happen? Thank you

I have never used message filters....to be terribly honest, I really didn't know they existed. I have never marked junk. I used to just delete as it came in...but lately I am not at my desk as much as I used to be, and my lack of attention to the list has exploded in this huge number of e-mails...and you are right, I am missing e-mails I should be seeing.
Unfortunately, my job requires that I receive many e-mails from different people that might not be folks I would have in my address book.
So, I am able to "select all" but I would like to then remove from the blanket those e-mails I want to keep. I still can't figure out how to do that.
Your surprise at my lack of e-mail skill is a little embarrassing but also amusing... :-)
Thank you for your reply, though...

    In you mailbox you have an edit button up top on the right, click that and a button will show up next to each email, then you click the button on all the emails you want to delete.

  • How do I delete large quantities of photos from iPad?

    I used the camera adapter to input the photos as a backup device on vacation. Now I want to get rid of them. Deleting 2000+ photos one at a time will be painful. Does anyone have an easier way?

    If you have a Mac you can delete photos en masse from the iPad's Camera Roll without importing them with the free Apple app Image Capture. Image Capture is in the Applications folder of every Mac.
    If you have a PC, I am not familiar with a similar app.

    You can delete as many emails at a time as you can or choose to select, but there is no select all, if that is what you are looking for (except in the trash folder).

    Don't use the Secure Empty Trash option on items which don't contain sensitive data. If the Trash is always doing it, create two folders with the same name in different locations, drag the files into one, and move the other into the folder which contains the first.

    How do I delete large blocks of empty space with Adobe Acrobat Pro?

    How can you delete "empty space"? If you mean that you want to delete lines,
    like in Word, so that the text afterwards will go "up the page", then you're
    out of luck. You should do that in the original file, and then re-create the
    PDF.

    Not a good idea! The "show duplicates" feature shows "all" duplicate tracks, but you only want to delete the "extra" copies, not the "originals".
    I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this  thread for background, including how to delete the extra tracks manually if you prefer.

  • I have an alias of one of my external hard drives in my trash. When I click on "show original" all my external H D 's and my Mac hard drive show up. How do I delete this icon from the trash without loosing all my files?

    I have an alias of one of my external hard drives in my trash. When I tried to delete it, it showed that I was deleting 80,000 files and counting. I stopped the delete process and when I clicked on "show original" all my external H.D.'s and my Mac hard drive show up. How do I delete this alias from the trash without loosing all my files? When I tried to drag it back to the desk top, it just made a duplicate and remained in the trash. When I turned off the external H.D., the trash was then empty. Tried rebooting the computer and then turning the external hard drive back on and the alias shows up in the trash again. Much help appreciated.

    In Finder's Menu, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes". (no quotes)
    Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
    Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1 or 2 if there are no real files in them, and reboot.
    If it does contain data...

  • How can I delete an email on my iMac without opening it - I know it contains a virus

    I have an email account on my 2013 iMac - how can I delete an email on the account without opening it - I know from the subject that it is a virus

    It does not have a virus attached and unless you open whatever (if anything) is attached or linked to the email nothing can happen.
    So you can select and delete it and nothing will happen
    Although, if you never select it nothing will happen.
    Your choice.
