Answer from Yatiana*******[guru]
All messages at once, of course, cannot be deleted.
You can delete all emails from one folder, for example, completely delete emails from Inbox. To do this, click on the link
located below the list of all folders in your mailbox. You will see a list of your folders, as well as a list of possible functions for managing them. Click on the "purge" link next to the name of the folder you want to purge. After that, all letters from the folder will be in the folder "Basket".
You can also delete all emails from one page in a folder. To do this, select all letters and click "Delete".

Check the boxes to delete everything - -and that's it...

Answer from Alexey Gurov[guru]
Above the list of letters there is a panel with buttons. Next to the "DELETE" button, to the left of it, there is a small window with a triangle. Put a check in this box. All letters on the page are highlighted. Now press the "DELETE" button - and oops! All letters from the first page go to the trash.
If some of the letters are especially dear to you, then after selecting the entire page, uncheck the boxes next to the favorites.
In the same way, the second page is cleared, the third, etc., until only those that are dear to you remain in the mail.

When deleting a mailbox, you need to understand that everything related to it will be deleted, namely, a blog on Mile ru, if it exists, an account in My World, photos, videos and everything else that was uploaded, as well as all letters with information, which may be important.

At present, it is difficult to imagine an Internet user who does not use the services that provide a free mailbox for sending and receiving messages (e-mails).

More recently, even my friend, who before half an hour could not remember how to copy and paste text information in a document using the Ctr + C and Ctrl + V keyboard shortcuts, also needed it and he asked me to explain how to register it!

With all the advantages of e-mail, it also has some minor drawbacks, and the main one is SPAM. It is worth at least once or twice to “light up” your e-mail address on the Internet when registering on some sites, guaranteed in a week, two or a month, wait for unwanted letters to arrive in your mailbox.

The more time you use mail, the more spam you will receive. I have registered more than one mailbox and not even two. And one of them started to receive about 340 letters in the Spam folder in a day. True, the box was already more than 1.5 years old.

I had neither the desire nor the strength to clean this folder every day, so I decided to delete this mailbox altogether and start a new one. Moreover, I did not connect it to any serious additional products and services.

The procedure for deleting the mailbox was successful and, so far, the problem with spam has been solved by a cardinal method. In today's step-by-step instructions, I want to show you how you can get rid of your already unnecessary mailbox and account in such popular services as Gmail, [email protected] and Yandex.Mail.

If you, dear blog readers, got spam, now getting rid of it is not difficult!

In 2004, Gmail, with its gigabyte of free email storage space, seemed like a fairy tale. No one would have thought that such a huge box would ever have to be cleaned. Today, the storage has grown 15 times, but the desire to delete thousands of letters does not leave many of us.

The problem lies not in the available space, but in the countless number of unread and simply unnecessary messages. Checking your inbox becomes torture, and the search and tag system become useless.

However, the Gmail box can still be given a second life.

Delete all emails

The first step is to completely empty the mailbox. First, it is advisable to backup the entire box using the Google data export tool. It can then be opened through an email client such as Mozilla Thunderbird. It can take several hours or even days to save the box - it depends on its volume. But the process is carried out on Google servers, so you do not need to keep your computer turned on.

You can also transfer the most useful and necessary messages to another account through desktop mail clients using POP or IMAP protocols.

Be careful! Lifehacker is not responsible for important emails that you may inadvertently delete.

In itself, deleting emails is a straightforward process. Go to the Gmail page with all messages, check the corresponding box in the upper left and to the right click "Select all threads in the" All mail "section". After that, it remains only to click on the basket icon and confirm the action.

Letters will be in the basket available in the menu on the left. Go to it and click "Empty Trash". Also check your spam folder to make sure your account is now completely clean.

Delete unwanted contacts

Gmail itself records the contacts of the people you correspond with. This is a big plus of the service, but there is also a minus here: if the function is handled carelessly, the list of contacts can turn into a messy heap. Quite unexpectedly, a person to whom you wrote only once, and even then 10 years ago, may appear in the phone book of an Android smartphone.

In this case, everything is a little more complicated than with letters, since contacts are synchronized between various Google services. Ideally, you should remove all useless email addresses, keep the important ones, and leave the phone numbers intact.

Gmail does a pretty good job of organizing emails if you set up your inbox. To do this, click on the gear on the right and click on the corresponding button. If the service sends a message to the wrong category, then manually drag it to the right one: Gmail will remember your choice and will not make a mistake again.

This means that if the total amount of space occupied by your letters exceeds the allowable value, then the server will stop accepting letters, and the mail will stop working.

To avoid this unpleasant situation, you can use a mailer program (The Bat, Microsoft Outlook, etc.) that will delete messages from the server itself, leaving local copies on your computer, or delete messages manually through the web interface.

Deleting emails manually via the web interface

First you need to go to the site under the username and password of the mailbox.

There will be four folders on the left. The names correspond to the purpose. For example, the "Sent Items" folder is designed to store sent messages.

The assignment of folder roles can be changed in the Settings section (the link is underlined in blue in the picture), the Folders subsection. Your incoming emails are stored in your inbox. Go into it.

To delete emails:

The last two actions have the same result - the selected letters will go to the trash folder.

These actions are not enough to free up space on the server, because. we just moved the emails from the inbox to the trash. To completely delete them, you need to click the empty link next to the trash.

Setting up Microsoft Office Outlook

To configure settings for deleting messages from the server in Microsoft Office Outlook, you need to edit your account settings.

To do this, go to the menu "Tools" - "Options"

To change your account, select "View or change existing accounts" and click the "Next" button.

In the list that appears, select your entry, which refers to our server (an entry of the form login@site .) and click the "Edit" button.

The account settings window will appear:

You need to click on the "Other settings" button and open the "Advanced" tab in the window that appears.

From the settings there are three checkboxes:

• Leave copies of the message on the server;
• Delete from server after … days;
• Delete from the server when deleting from "Deleted Items";

Disabling the first checkbox disables the other two (this is the best option for our server). In this case, your mailer, when receiving letters, copies them to itself, without leaving them on the server. Thus, the minimum space for storing messages is used on the server (only new messages are stored on it until your next connection). The disadvantage of this configuration is that mail can only be received once. If, for example, you have two programs (for example, at home and at work) and you received all the mail at home, then you won’t be able to receive these letters at work (they didn’t remain on the server and there is nowhere to get them, therefore).

The second option (the first and second checkboxes are enabled) deletes only those messages from the server that were moved to the Deleted Items folder and after a specified number of days.

The third option (the first and third checkboxes are enabled) deletes messages from the server only after they are deleted from the Deleted Items folder.

Setting up The Bat

To set up automatic deletion of messages from the server in The Bat, you need to edit the properties of your mailbox.

To do this, go to the menu "Box" - "Properties of the mailbox". (or press Shift+Ctrl+P)

In the window that opens, go to the item "Mail Management"

There are three options for deleting emails:

• removal from the server immediately upon receipt;
• deletion from the server after a specified number of days after deleting the letter to the trash;
• deletion from the server after removal from the trash;

The first option is "deleting received emails from the server" (this is the best option for our server).

In this case, your mailer, when receiving letters, copies them to itself, without leaving them on the server. Thus, the minimum space for storing messages is used on the server (only new messages are stored on it until your next connection). The disadvantage of this configuration is that mail can only be received once. If, for example, you have two programs (for example, at home and at work) and you received all the mail at home, then you won’t be able to receive these letters at work (they didn’t remain on the server and there is nowhere to get them, therefore).

The second option (letters remain on the server and the retention period for letters is specified) deletes only those letters from the server that have been moved to the trash and after a specified number of days.

The third option ("messages remain on the server" and "delete messages from the server only when they are deleted from the trash") deletes emails from the server only after they are deleted from the trash

The fourth option (all checkboxes enabled) will act as the second and third option together.

With this configuration, as a result, the box will still be full and the mail will stop working.
