How to delete contents of sent folder

I want to delete the contents of all sent folders on all my Apple devices. Tere are thousands so I cannot mark each item for deletion to delete them.  How can I accomplish this without deleting the account and re-creating it?  I don't see a DELETE ALL like exists in the trash, etc.
Thanks!
Jim in Chicago

There just isn't a way until you get the contents into the trash and can use delete all.

  • How do I change the 'Sent' folder to display the persons name I sent to and NOT my name?

    Today BT Mail told me my BT Internet account had been migrated from the old Yahoo (defunct) account to their own new BT Mail.  So I am using IMAP and therefore had to delete my account on my devices and set up again in order to continue to receive my mail. 
    I have duly followed their instructions and done this, and synced my calendar and contacts using their 'how to' web pages.... 
    Now I am checking everything is ok.... and note that the 'Sent' folder now lists all the emails that I have sent under MY name.  So if I'm looking for an email I sent to a particular person, I can't really, as all the emails are listed in my name.  I have to open each one to find out who I sent the mail to.  Very time wasting.
    I have yet to update my iPhone with the same instructions - dialogue box currently stating 'cannot get mail' until I update the settings.... But I can see the 'sent' folder is showing sent emails in a list displaying the recipients' name... As it should do.
    Question: How can I flip the display round to list the recipients' name in the sent list?   I have looked but can't see how to do it.  Thanks.

    Each account should have its own sent folder. Since mails may be sent from different accounts through different servers.
    If you have moe than one account, and send mails from more than one of them then you will a sent folder for each account you sue to send emails from.
    As to the names, it will show techncially the first recipient in the list or recipients iof there is mor ethan one. If that happens to be you then it will show you.
    As to how to edit,  there should be an edit link to the right of the original post.

  • Anyone know how to delete emails from trash folder?

    I have hada Droid phone for about 6 months.  When I delete emails from my inbox it goes to a "trash" file (similiar to trash file in Outlook).  It is getting full.  Any idea how to delete from trash folder.  My wife also bought the same phone but she does not have a trash file.  No one at our verizon store can answer my question as to how to delete from trash folder and don't seem to know how I have a trash folder on my email account.

    I'd go on the P.C. side of your Mail and start clearing it will clean what's on the phone and the Computer i have done this Many time on my Gmail and Yahoo.. b33

  • How to delete tracks from Music Folder?

    After selecting all of the tracks of one of my iTunes playlists, i.e., an album, and clicking Option + Delete to move them to the Trash, I accidentally clicked Enter and, by default, selected the "Keep Files" option instead of the "Move to Trash" option in the "Do you want to move the selected songs to the Trash, or keep them in the iTunes Music folder?" dialogue box. I went to Home > Music folder > iTunes folder > iTunes Music folder > the folder of the album artist, but I do not see the folder of the album in the artist folder. How can I find these tracks so that I can send them to the Trash as intended?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    After performing a (Finder) Find for .aif files, I located the tracks and was able to delete the playlist (album) folder with the tracks. So no assistance needed after all.
    However, inexplicably, the folder with the tracks to be deleted was located in iTunes Music folder > Compilations folder, rather than in the artist folder. After finding and moving the folder of the tracks to the Trash, I checked the info of the original CD in iTunes out of curiosity and discovered that "Part of a compilation" was checked for the tracks, even though this is not a compilation (or even a live) album. I assume this sort of...tagging, I guess...was originally imbedded in the CD and is not a result of any glitch in iTunes. In fact, in the Compilations folder, I noticed several albums which are not compilation albums. I'd appreciate any thoughts or explanations as to why some non-compilation albums are checked as compilation albums.
    Thanks,
    Paul

  • Just need to know how to move contents of a folder PLEASE :)

    I want to move the contents of a folder to another.
    I am using this code to move a file to another but how do I move the whole contents to another.
    public void moveBack() {

            File w = new File(EpodConstants.ORDERS_TO_UPLOAD_DIR, selectedFileName);
            File f = new File(EpodConstants.ORDERS_PENDING_DIR, selectedFileName);

  • Copy folders with the same name deletes contents of original folder

    When backing up some iTunes songs manually I selected the folders I wanted to copy and copied them, then I pasted them into my backup folder.
    I got the warning windows about folders having the same name, I could only cancel or replace. So I clicked replace. Then when I checked inside one of the destination folders the original contents of the folder has been erased and only the new files are left.
    Has the way Snow Leopard deals with copying folders changed? As I am sure this did not happen before I upgraded.
    I tried it on the command line with 'cp -aR' and everything worked as expected, but it does not warn that the folder already exists.
    How do I get 'cp -aR' functionality out of finder?

    After alot more searching it seems mac OS X has always done this, but I never noticed it before.
    I can copy my backups over the network with:
    cp -aR Music/source_folder /Volumes/server_name/Music/
    ditto can be used as well.

  • Where is my sent folder how to bring the orginal sent folder back

    it seems that i set up another imap account's sent folder to be my sent folder..
    but when i send emails from my mac email.. the emails are not saved at all..at least they arent in a folder inn the mail program
    anyone have any suggestions..

    hi there
    i think you would be best off at this point to back up mail (see this attachment--you can also back up preferences if you wish http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301239) and then to set up the account all over again, or accounts. make sure you have correct incoming/outgoing mail server info, email addresses, etc., then delete account pressing the minus sign at bottom of page, then set it up again. then everything will be in working order. the article is straight forward, and guides you through importing the info back into the account. hope this helps you. 8)

  • How to delete a password-protected folder?

    If I use disk utility to create a password-protected folder (disk image) on my Mac, could someone else easily drag that folder to the trash and delete it?
    Or do you need the password to delete a password-protected folder?

    The password only keeps them from opening the folder without the password. If they have access to the account, then they have the same abilities as you to install or delete files or folders.
    If you don't want someone messing with your data, then they should have their own account on the computer and log out of yours when your done. You can create an account each of the other family members, or create one account for the rest of the family to use and one for you. That way you can restrict what they can and can't do on the computer such as installing applications, etc.

  • How to save mails from "sent"-folder to another folder (enterprise-server)

    i am using bb with an enterprise server (lotus notes) an would like to save a sent mail from the sent folder to another folder. with my blackberry bold it was no problem to save sent mails like every incoming mails to a folder. but with my Z10 i could read all sent mails but cant save them to a folder. any ideas to solve this?

    Hello,
    Given that you are on BES, you need to work with your BES admins to find out what features and functions exist for you with BB10. If, for example, they have not updated to BES10, then it is possible that some functions will not be available to you until they do. But, only they (your BES admins) can tell you exactly what you should expect from the environment that they control.
    Good luck!

  • Deleted contents of Private folder

    Hi, I accidentally deleted the contents of my Private folder and now, off course, my MacBook pro won't start.
    I did not empty the trash, the Private folder is still in its place, but empty :/
    Can you please post some instructions to help me get out of this mess?

    Is the message like this:
    If so, that's a kernel panic.
    They are usually caused by hardware problems, but can be software, especially kernel extensions.
    Start by running this: Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test.  Run the Extended tests(that may take an hour or so, depending on how much RAM you have).  Write down any error code(s) it shows.

  • How to Delete songs safely from folder and not lose on MediaSou

    I had a bunch of music on Limewire that was in Mediasource..... I had changed all the names and titles so it was accurate, and then so Mediasource wouldnt think there was new songs(due to the same songs having different or cleaned up titles)? I deleted the files from Limewire....well since the limewire folder was linked to Mediasource, it deleted those too? ??I thought it took those files and saved them in another folder, I now know that not to be the case......but is there anyway to accomplish this? I want to be able to have the songs: Name, Title, etc. all clear and in the right order, but how do I keep media sniffer from thinking there is a new song due to the title change??Any help would be greatly appreciated....

  • How to delete photos from faces folder?

    Hi my iPhoto events are all clear of photos as are all my folders.  However I have 4000 photos sitting in the faces folder - how do I delete these?

    Sorry but that doesn't make sense to me. There is no reason to remove the faces thumbnails. Are you trying to empty a library or something? If so, don't waste your time. Just trash it and make a new one.
