Deleting emails in outlook express

Mrs_Bones

Hi.
I want to delete a lot of emails from my outlook express inbox, is there anyway to do it without clicking on each email and deleting individually?
Thanks.

Select all, delete them all so they go to Deleted Items, then Undelete the ones you want to keep?

Go into the folder you want to delete. Click on the top email. Hold down "ctrl" key and press "A". This will highlight all the emails. Click delete and all the emails will disappear.

To save a step, select them all by clicking the first one, then hold down the "shift" key and click the last one. All should now be selected. Now, holding down the "control" key, click each one that you want to keep - that de-selects them. Now click "delete" to remove the remainder.

If you tend to save emails for any reason, why not make a new folder for them? With OE open, click on "Local Folders" at the top/left of the screen. In the next window, click on "File" (top/left), then "New", and then "Folder". Give your new folder a name, then click "OK". Job done - and you can now simply drag the emails you want to save from your Inbox to the new folder.

Thanks everyone, that's made life easier

I had made folders to put the emails I want to keep in, but couldn't see a way to delete the rest, now I've got it sorted. Thanks for the help.
