How do you select SOME messages?

My method for dealing with spam which is the bulk of my mail was to SELECT ALL then deselect the one or two messages I wanted to look at, then press DELETE and then read my wanted messages.
Now I get an unwanted view of any message I select and have to delete messages individually.

Well, if I understand what you're saying, and what behavior you are trying to avoid, maybe this will help you out:
is your mailviewer window currently split into three panes - left side a list of accounts and mailboxes, upper right message list, and lower right viewer window for message body of a selected message?
if so, double-click on the separator bar between upper right and lower right panes, and you have a message list only. Now you can individually select (⌘-click) multiple non-contiguous messages (or single-click one message, and ⇧-click a second message to select a bounded group of contiguous messages), and DELETE them. Once your spam is cleaned up, double-clicking the bottom edge of the (right) message list pane (which is where that separator bar has moved to) will restore the separator bar to the middle of the right side of the Mail viewer window, with message lists up top and body of the currently selected message (if any) displayed down below, just as it was before.
(if this solves your problem, or is actually helpful towards arriving at a solution to your problem, please consider marking this reply as "helpful" or "solved," in addition to, if applicable, marking this question as "answered"

  • How do you select multiple messages/conversations on SMS/MMS to forward or save to memory card on Samsung Stratosphere?

    How do you select multiple messages/conversations on SMS/MMS to forward or save to memory card on Samsung Stratosphere? 
    My screen is cracked and I need to replace my phone and I don't see a way of selecting multiple messages or even conversations one at a time to forward them to email or to save them to a memory card.  I can delete thread but can't forward it or move it.  Is there a setting somewhere that will move the storage location for messages to the memory card instead of internal?
    If not, any suggestions on backup apps?  I have heard of Txtract to back up SMS and MMS messages, and Titanium Backup to back up everything (SMS, MMS, apps, app data...).  Anyone have any experience with those, or other suggestions?
    Thanks!

  • How do you select some pictures  as opposed to an entire in Photo Album

    I am Trying out Light room and so far notfinding it not very friendly. when I open a Folder of pictures. even though Ichoose certain one to create a Photo Album to put on a Website it wants to put everything in not just what I select.

    You select an image by clicking on it - either in the Grid View or in the filmstrip at the bottom.
    You can select more than one image by clicking on the first image and then Ctrl / Cmd + click on the additional images (i.e. hold down Ctrl / Cmd and click on the additional while Ctrl / Cmd is still pressed).
    Alternatively you can click on the first image and then Shift + click on the last one to select the first, the last and everything in between.
    If multiple images are selected, only one of them is active. It has a lighter shade of grey. 
    See the image in tyhis thread that explains it: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5180996#5180996

  • How do you remove telstra messages and go back to visual messages on iphone

    How do you remove telstra messages and go back to visual messages on iphone

    Should be pretty easy as follows:
    1 - Make sure you have copies of any pictures you want that are inside Aperture somewhere on your computer.
    2 - Quit Aperture > Remove any Aperture icon from dock > drag the Aperture program (lens icon) from Applications folder to the Trash > proceed through any warning dialog (including entering password as required) to complete the process.
    Note - new security features in OS X Lion may present those warning dialogs to prevent accidental deletion of Apple programs.
    3 - Hold down the 'Option' key and use the 'Go' menu in menu bar and select the 'Library' option.
    4 - In the Library folder, open the 'Application Support' folder and delete any Aperture folder found.
    5 - While still in the Library folder, open the 'Preferences' folder and delete both the 'com.apple.Aperture.plist' and 'com.apple.Aperture.plist.lockfile' file.
    6 - While still in the Library folder, open the 'Caches' folder and delete the 'com.apple.Aperture' folder.
    7 - Go the your 'Pictures' folder and drag the 'Aperture Library' (may be named Aperture Trial Library or similar) to the Trash to delete it as well.
    8 - Empty the Finder Trash to remove Aperture.
    Note - there are some files and Aperture folders in the '/Library' folder (which is in the root of your system drive), but you don't really need to remove those. Since you are a beginner, it is probably better not to for now.
    That should do it.
    Additional edit: There are two Library folders I am referring to. The first is the one in your user account 'Home' folder which is the one you are going to by using the 'Go' menu. This is the one you are deleting files from in the steps listed. The second Library folder is the one in the root of your system drive and is not typically a location for beginners to work with (thus the final note above). Hope that is clear enough.

  • HT4528 How do you delete 'SAVED MESSAGES' on iPhone 5s

    How do you delete 'SAVED MESSAGES' on iPhone 5s?  It's taking up about 10GB of 32 GB capacity.

    After much searching on the web and reading many (sometimes amusing) posts on this topic here is what I have found.
    In Settings>General>Usage my saved mesages were using 3.2Gb and no apparently immediate way of deleting them.
    However as the good book says "seek and ye shall find".
    SO this is where I went:
    Settings>iCloud>Account> then scroll down to ADVANCED and select Mail; again scroll down to the bottom and select Advanced and yet again scroll to the bottom (well at least to DELETED MESSAGES) and tap on the line called Remove.
    Here at last you will find a setting that enables you to select the period after which iOS will remove your deleted messages.
    The shortest period is one day so you will haev to wait 24 hours to finally have that memory back but it should work and is a nice feature in iOS although it is well burried!!

  • How do you select an object that is directly under another object?

    How do you select an object that is directly under another object?
    I was working from a template and I wanted to make a text box the same size as a column box that was put there in order to keep the text in the confines of the paper that is was being printed to.
    I could actually put text in each column fine but I wanted it to be in a text box so that I could slightly tilt the test box to compensate for my printer feeding it in slightly wrong. I accomplished this on another template but I could not on this one. If I was working in InDesign or something I know I could just select that layer but I'm at a loss of what to do here. How do I select a column right under a text box? I just thought of something. Once I make the text boxes the same size as the columns I think I can just delete the columns from the inspector. But that would be kind of a work around. I know you can hold down command when nothing is selected from outside the document and then highlight but this is not working. Does anyone have some tips and tricks when it comes to having control over which objects you are selecting when it comes to objects that are overlapped as well as directly over each other.
    Thanks.
    Tim

    I'm not sure it's documented any where, but it's not too difficult. First, ⌘-click outside of the layout area to enter object mode then drag the cursor towards the two objects until you see the handles. Now, again ⌘-click on the top object to deselect it. You can now move the underlying object to the front to edit, delete, etc.
    After typing this, it dawned on me, why not just click the top object to select it & move it to the back? I've only done the other way a bazillion times & now I think of this.

  • How do you copy some of the listings in the Finder?

    How do you copy some of the listings in the Finder?... including the Name the Date Modified, the Size, the Kind. For example how do you copy the 11th - 30th Finder listings' Name, Date Modified, Size, Kind.

    Print Window for Mac is what a lot of people use. Searching for "print directory" I saw others.
    I wrote an Applescript to identify files being shipped, though I didn't add the File Size. (I was running out of format width on a portrait 8-1/2x11 paper.) My script only looks at the selected Files & Folders in a Finder Window and formats as below *but* with a mono spaced font such as "Andale Mono", "Webdings", "Monoco", or "Courier" so there are indications of the folder hierarchy with the Kind and Mod dates aligned in columns:

    How do you mark a message as spam when your mail comes from gmail via OS X Mail.app?
    I use IMAP to get Gmail. I seem to remember seeing a "[Gmail]/Spam" IMAP folder in previous versions of the app, but that's not visible any more.
    Without this, I have to log on to the web-based Gmail to mark messages as spam, that's a productivity killer.

    How do you select and move more than one bookmark at a time?
    Shift+Click does not select multiple items that are next to one another in a list because the items open in firefox before this happens.

    Use the bookmarks library. You may use Shift +Click, and Ctrl + Click to create groupings of selected bookmarks to drag and drop.
    * one method of opening the bookmarks library is keyboard shortcut <br /> Ctrl+Shift+B (Windows)
