Greetings, I Have found my email inbox to be deluged with many times over 100 new emails a day. Many of them are unsolicited, and I would really like the capacity to Drag My Mouse Down and Select Multiple Emails at Once to Delete, like I would select Text in a Document to Delete or Copy and Paste Etcetera.. I Can hit control and the letter A IF I want to delete ALL of them in a given folder at once, but If I only want to do multiples in the overall list but not all of them, I don't know how to select more than one at a time to delete at once. The only way I have figured out to do that is if I type in a name from a particular person or company in the "Filter" Section and get all of that one group isolated, but that is not something that lends itself to my purposes to well, when I have multiple things from different sources. PLEASE HELP !!! I have over 27,000 emails in my In Box, and there is no end in sight to the accumulation. I only have time to do the most brief scan to see if a potential email is of ANY Interest to me at all. I don't have time to do an exhaustive scan and to delete them one by one takes far too much time.

I'm not sure I understand. You can highlight one email and drag mouse down over many of them and then click delete and they all go to trash. Are you saying that doesn't work? Or that it doesn't allow for deleting more?

Hi David, Thank you so much for your reply. Yes, that is what I am saying, and as it turns out, when I hit the submit button on the question, a group options appeared on the right side of the screen, which gave a a direct access to the answer to my question. The Difference in those instructions was the apparent Key to the problem. It stated what is below.

click message 1, move up or down several messages and hold the shift key while clicking message 2 = selects message 1 and 2 and all in between

The Key Difference was the holding the Shift Key Down, while I Scroll Down with the mouse from the First message selected and then clicking the last message, when I had reached the bottom of the list. I tried that, and it worked, so now I only have 27,000 messages to scroll through :) .

Thanks Again for your reply.
