To "control/select" a group of emails and delete takes forever

when using 'select/control' to group a number of emails for deletion it takes forever to select (7-8 seconds) and to delete takes just as much time. It makes cleaning up email data very troublesome. I have to go to my provider, Windstream, and delete email on their platform.

What is your anti-virus software?

  • How do I easily select a group of emails in Apple Mail if I want to delete them? In other words, how do I select the first and last message and delete everything in between?

    How do I easily select a group of emails in Apple Mail if I want to delete them? In other words, what do I select if I mark the first and last email to delete everything in between? Thanks.

    I have this same issue. I have over 100 email addresses that I need to add to a group. The issue is not making the group, it's getting the email addresses from Mail to Contacts.
    Dragging the email addresses does nothing. You can copy the addresses, but there's nowhere to put them. You can make a VCF for an email address, but then you have to find all of them to add them to the group. How do you automate this?!
    I'm astounded that there's so little support for such a common issue for which people have been asking for years.

  • Selecting more than one email to delete

    Has anyone figured out how to select more than one email when deleting? Thanks. Love my phone

    The quickest way, especially if you are deleting bunches of them in a row is to do this...
    open one email. If you want to trash it, click on the trash can icon at the bottom, it trashes it and goes to the next one. As far as skipping the ones you want to save, dunno which way that runs. I just delete all mine since I don't have the Iphone to clear the mail server, I still get it on my desktop computer later.

  • TS4002 When I use my iphone to check my email, and delete unwanted email, it still shows up on my computer~ and vice versa. How do I get the doubling up to stop??

    It used to work just fine, but now whenever I receive email if I check it from my phone and delete it, it will still be on my computer. If I check it on my computer, when I get on my phone, it's still there. I'm having to go through email and delete it all, on both devices, rather than just on one.
    How can I make it so that when an email is deleted from one device, it will also be deleted from the other? I don't know what I did to make it stop doing this, and I've tried several things, on both my phone and my mac, but it's about to drive me crazy!
    Thanks for any help you can give!

    But the problem is, that it Did used to do this. It synced for a year and a half and now only in the past four months has it not synced...
    Any thoughts?

  • I mant to make my rescue email my primary email and delete my current primary email, How do I do that?

    I just want to make my rescue email my primary email and delete the current primary email.  How do I do that?

    You will first need to remove it as your rescue email address, which you can do via the Password And Security section of your account on http://appleid.apple.com : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
    After you've done that log out of that site, and then either log back in and try putting it as your primary email address, or you can do it by logging into the account via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone

  • I have set up mail but it has 37000 mails to load, obviously very old stuff but how do I get rid without loading and deleting, take days?

    I have set up mail but it has 37000 mails to load, obviously very old stuff but how do I get rid without loading and deleting, take days?

    Go under settings, mail, contacts and calendars and then choose only to sync back 50 or 100 or 1000 mails. Chances are you don't really need the old ones on your device and it'll save room (I have mine set to 50)

  • Calendar and reminders take forever to load with ios5

    Since I upgraded my iPhone 4 to ios 5, my calendar and reminders take forever to load. Sometimes they crash rather than load. Any suggestions? This is extremely frustrating. By the time they load, I forget what I was going to write. Even once they open and I start entering data, they usually stall or crash during the time I am entering information (e.g. setting alerts), so it takes a very long time to enter each appointment or reminder. Help please!

    I'm having the same issue.  Ay fixes?  Bought ATV today, music streams but videos don't and mirroring doesn't work either.  Start mirror and severe lag then just drops.  Been trying for couple hours. About ready to return it.

  • When is there going to be a select all/delete all option in email? I need to search for certain emails and delet them from my phone but not my email program (Outlook)

    when will there be a select all/delete all option in Emails? I have a large number of emails that come to my phone which i dont want to delete from my outlook mail account (On my PC). However, i want to be able to search, select all and delete these emails from my phone? I do not use ICloud either as it causes issues with my calendars at work.
    These features should be a standard as there are plenty of other users out there that are trying to do the same thing and as yet there has been no progress? The email on the iphone is one of the biggest downfalls of the phone, blackberry and android handle them much better, but i dont have an option with my phone at work. Please help??

    No one here would have any idea when or if such a feature would be introduced until and unless Apple announces it.

  • Selecting a group of files and putting them in a newly created folder?

    If I select a group of files in finder or on my desktop -- is there a command to create a new folder and put them in it? (I'm thinking of how you can take a selection in iTUNES and create a playlist from the selection).
    (I know how to create a folder and then drag my selection into it).
    Thanks!

    Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and paste in the following:
    tell application "Finder"
    make new folder at desktop
    move (selection as alias list) to the result
    end tell
    This script expects that two or more items are selected. You can enable the script menu in the AppleScript Utility and then add the script to the menu for easy access.

  • Device email controls the server - read/unrea​d and deleting!

    My problem is that my BB Hub seems to have complete control over my web-based email server.  In other words, whenever I delete an email from my BB Hub inbox, it deletes the email from my server as well.  This is a huge problem for me, as for the past 10 years I've been in the habit of deleting emails on my device after I read them and then addressing them later in my office, where the messages have also been pulled down by Outlook (or, when I'm travelling, I can go online and see the messages online through my web-based server directly).  This is more than a mere personal preference:  it's crucial to be able to read certain emails on a full-sized monitor.  The small screen of a phone just doesn't cut it sometimes.
    Another problem I'm having is that my BB Hub inbox marks all my messages as "read," even before I read them.  And, when I mark them "unread," it makes them pop back up on my server.  This is also more than a minor annoyance:  when you get 300-500 emails per day, it's really hard to keep track of what you've read and what you haven't when all of them are marked as "read."
    Is there a way to divorce my online server from the Q10's control?  Putting the sync on "manual" and turning off "push" doesn't work.
    If you can't use Outlook and BB10 and yet still have messages come "unread" to your device, then that adds a major inconvenience.  Maybe I'm not savvy enough with Outlook, but I don't think that it will allow you to pull down messages from the server and still leave them "unread" on that server.  You can leave a copy of the original message on the server, but you can't leave it in an "unread" state.  This will prevent the Z/Q10 from ever having unread messages on its display (if you're an Outlook user on your desktop).
    And, you're in the dangerous territory of being able to permanently delete messages from the server by deleting them from your device.  The BB has always been an additional tool, not a replacement for the desktop environment.  If I can no longer delete messages as I read them until I'm sure they've been pulled down from the server and saved by Outlook, this will result in a much more cluttered inbox on a day to day basis, and, thus, more time cleaning it up at the end of each day.  BB was supposed to add to convenience, not detract from it.

    Hello,
    BB10 is nothing like legacy, so any expectation that it would function like legacy is destined for disappointment. Legacy devices used BIS, which provided all of the functions you mention. BB10 does not use BIS, and instead has a full on-device email client, which functions in the manner that it is designed.
    From all you describe, it is WAD -- Working As Designed. The on-device mailbox and the server are intended to now be mirror images of each other...whatever you do on one will reflect to the other. There is no way to override this, since it is WAD.
    Workarounds exist by using server folders to move things to instead of deleting them. The workarounds are cumbersome, but they are what they are. The design of the device is what it is.
    Many are hoping that future updates may bring some of these features to the BB10 platform, but no one can say if/when such will happen. For now, it is what it is.
    Good luck!

  • I have bought a computer and authorised it and transfered library to it. Trouble is most of the songs have been duplicated 5 times and will take forever to delete one at a time. Can I select delete all exact duplicates in one go??

    My new computer runs windows 7. I have transfered my library from my old computer to the new one but the library songs are duplicated 5 times.  How do I remove the exact duplicates easily without deleting every one individually.  When I am satisfied with the new computer and the itunes do I then de authorise the old one.

    Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

  • I am using Thunderbird 24.4.0 and it is very slow in loading emails and deleting emails. Did not have this problem till recently. Running Windows 7

    With in the last 3 days my emails have been very slow to open and it takes about 20 secs. to delete an email.
    At times I see the message that Thunderbird is not responding. I am using Windows 7 and Bitdefender AV.
    I closed the firewall on the AV and this did not change anything. Any help will be greatly appreciated

    Disable Bitdefender's option to scan mail folders and see if the performance improves.

  • T410 - WinXP Pro Taskbar hangs and system takes forever to shutdown

    Hi,
    I've been having a weird issue with my T410. I created 3 partition on the HDD, one ntfs which i install WinXP Pro, that i downgraded using IBM recovery disk (since mine came with Win7 x86). My 2nd partition, is using ntfs with win7 x64, which i clean installed using a different license. Im reserving my 3rd partition to install my linux soon. Win7 on my machine works awesome. On the other hand, my XP is running nuts, the taskbar hangs every other minute and the system takes forever to shutdown (sometimes i just dont bother to wait,i'd just force shutdown). After I click Start>Shutdown, some of the programs will start to slowly close, and then it just hangs there. If i try to open any programs, i get an error message saying that the system has initiated shutdown, but it just hangs there for like good 5 minutes. Task manager wont open during that time too...I've tried uninstalling some programs that i thought might be distrupting the shudown to no avail. Can anyone suggest me anything else that i can do?
    On the worse case scenario where i **might** need to reinstall my XP using the recovery disk again, would it be possible to keep my other partitions intact? I dont remember seeing that option in any of the IBM's that i've worked with. That option came standard with my old toshiba..
    Btw, im running a T410, i5 540, 4gigs DDR3 RAM, if that helps.
    Thanks

    How much free space on the startup disk?
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    Check for Login Items 
    Open System Preferences/Accounts then select the Login Items tab. Delete any files or apps you have listed there.
    And go to /Library/Startup Items. Move any files in the Startup Items folder to the Trash
    If there's enough disk space and login items aren't an issue, launch Disk Utility. The startup disk may need repairing.
    Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Select: Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions).

  • Numbers and Pages takes forever to save(not responding)

    I am having problems with Numbers, it keep presenting the spinning ball of Death to me when saving as does pages. This is also the case for my father..
    I am running a Imac with OSX 10.7.2. the Imac is just over a year old, 27in 2.8ghz I5 with 12 gig ram... there should be no reason is take its time saving.. very frustrating..
    Any help appreciated

    I installed the creative suite about a year ago, and this just started happening last weekend. I didn't think it would be a problem and that it would last for a day since I was working on InDesign all day and Illustrator and it usually goes away after I finish using the programs. But this has been occurring for about a week now and has not gone away. and yes the other programs are running slow. I was trying to resize some images for a client and Photoshop was acting extremely slow  when I was trying to resize the image and also place an image into a 8x10 document in Photoshop. I'm not sure how to find my system specifications.
    All design programs running extremely slow and takes forever to save and sometimes shuts down randomly?
