How do I delete many emails at one time

I just upgraded to ML and can no longer paint the messages and delete many at one time. I can only delete them one by one.Thanks.

you need to click on 1st message
release the mouse or trackpad click
press and hold SHIFT or CMD
and click again on another message
if you still have envelope instead of cursor you mouse or trackpad may have a problem.

How do I "delete all" emails at one time ??

I use POP3 email accounts. There isn't a slick way (that I can see) to select every email from your inbox and delete them. Has anyone come up with a solution for this ??
And please don't answer with: switch to an imap account.

Thanks!

I don't access an antiquated email account type, so I have nothing to complain about.
If Apple included a delete all at once option for an account's Inbox mailbox, the habitual whiners that did this by accident would come unglued.

How do I delete multiple emails at one time

I have a ton of emails that I don't need to keep on my iPad. Is there a way to delete everything at once without tapping each individual email? If not, can I just delete the accounts and then re-enter them?
Thanks,

You can do it from the Email app the way described by Japid, it's still not fast by any means at all. but, I believe that if you use Yahoo or Google, etc.......you can go to the site on Safari and log into your, say, Yahoo account from there. That should give you more & faster options for deleting groups of e-mails at a time. I know, I literally have tens of thousands on an account I've had for years. I should just delete it, but I'm unable to convince myself for some stupid reason, as if I'm going to miss some important message from a work mate I had 8 years and 2 jobs ago or something lame.

How do i delete sent emails in one go?

How do i delete sent emails in one go? There must be a few thousand sent items in there with large attachments. Of course it would be silly to do it one by one, so whats the quicker solution?

You could always try the Mark All thing again for sorting. Do the same as before, for delete (come to think of it, do it before you Delete All, otherwise you'll have nothing to sort). Having Marked All, instead of Delete try Sort. Does this make any difference?

How do I delete all contacts (at one time) from i phone4

Somehow I have gotten mutilple listing in contacts. How do I delete all contacts from I phone and start over?

baprawski,
Is there a particular reason why you want to delete the contacts all at once? The only way you can delete all the contacts all one time would be to wipe the device. This will complete erase all data on the phone including the contacts.
You want to make sure you backup your device uisng the desktop manager. Once you perform the wipe you can then backup your contacts using the desktop manager and just make sure to uncheck the Contacts when backing up so they are not added back to your phone.

How can I delete multiple playlists at one time?

For some reason I have hundreds of random playlists? How can I delete them all at once, is it possible?

Here are two ways I would try:
You can hold down your shift key while selecting playlists. This allows you to select multiple items. However, it does not allow you to skip over a playlist. All contiguous lists will be selected using this method. Once you have all the playlists selected, right click on the selection and choose delete.
If method one won't work because you want to pick and choose lists to delete, I'd make a folder and pull all of the lists I don't want into this folder. Then you can delete the whole folder. Once you have all of the playlists you no longer want in the folder, just right click on the folder and choose delete.

How do I delete several emails at a time on my Airbook?

I have over 8,000 emails. Most of which I want to trash. Is there a simple way to group them together and delete all at once?

To delete contiguous emails in a list (for example old mail sorted by date), singe click on the top one, scroll down to the bottom one, hold down the Shift key and single click on the bottom one, right click (or Option-click) on the messages highlighted in blue, and then select Delete.
Then Mailbox > Erase Deleted Items.

How do you delete numerous duplicates at one time? Can you?

I have bought a new computer and want to merge my IPod Itunes content and my PC content as I used my Classic IPod more as a hardware place to store everything. I can get it to display duplicates, but there are so many I wondered if I could just delete all the duplicates at one time instead of one at a time? Thanks for any help. I apologize beforehand, I don't do many forums and don't know if this issue has already been addressed elsewhere, I'm sure it does probably, I'm just too much of a computer dork to figure it out.

I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this thread for background.
Note the current version does not address dupes of different sizes, i.e. the same track ripped at different bit rates. I've almost finished an updated version which can optionally remove all but the largest of these and now also merges playlist membership (though not necessarily the position).

How do i deleting many backup on one shot ? (Bulk deleting backup)

Hello,
I looking for any method for removing old backup on one shot.
Anyone already done it ?
Thanks
Guy

In the vsphere web client you can go to the restore tab and select multiple backups to delete within each client. So if you have multiple points in time for one client to delete its quick. If you want to delete multiple clients backups I'm not aware of a quick way.
You could script the delete using mccli but it would require some knowledge about how it works that is not documented by vmware and would not be for the faint of heart. I highly doubt mccli is fully supported by vmware so use at your own risk. Even if it was supported it would probably still be quicker to delete each backup in the the VDP webclient. Thinking way outside the box one possible work around would be to create a new VDP appliance and replicate the backups you want to save to it then delete the old appliance. Although you would probably have to recreate all your backup jobs on the new appliance so I doubt its what your looking for.

Is there a way to delete multiple emails at one time?

I did a search but didn't find anything on this.
I just got the new 3G and when I setup one of my email accounts (not .mac) it downloaded 700 emails from that account even though about 600 had been previously deleted.
Is there a way to select multiple emails for deletion? Deleting that many one at a time would be tedious to say the least.

These messages may have been deleted from the email client used on your computer for accessing the account but they weren't deleted at the incoming mail server for the account. If so, the iPhone's Mail client would not have downloaded these messages.
With the mailbox selected, select edit. Each message that you want to delete must be selected which will place a check in the circle to the left of the message.
Select Delete at the bottom.
