Windows 10 Mail - Deleting all emails in Inbox

peachyprice

Please tell me I'm just being stupid, please tell me that I don't have to click on every single one of the 500+ emails going back to May that have just been delivered to my inbox to send them to 'deleted items'.

I can't see any way of selecting all, ctrl+A doesn't work, there doesn't seem to be a 'select all' button anywhere, and even the Microsoft help pages are implying I have to click each and every one

This really can't be the case, can it? Such a simple function left out?

Hopefully someone will be along shortly to tell me I'm being silly and it's so simple you can't see how I've missed it? Fingers crossed, eh.

I presume you have tried clicking on first message, holding shift and clicking on last message. This normally selects all.

Yup, tried all the obvious, usual Windows ways, of selecting all.

Well, that was a very short relationship, it seems you can't 'select all'. So goodbye windows 10 mail.

You can no longer Shift-click to select a range of messages for deletion or other actions, and you can no longer Control-A to select all messages. You can Control-click one message at a time in order to select multiple messages, but the mass selection options available in Windows 8.1 Mail are gone.

Microsoft stole my emails, then they took all my company logos and blocked the emails and my account, i contacted them and the support team sent me a blank reply this was two years ago. The logo and stuff are copyrighted i recently messaged them again and they replied that it was none of my bussiness, please back off. And now i don't what to do but i can't launch my company without my design i am losing money and may be going bankrupt cause my design are not able to access, i need some legal action this is not fair but i don't know what to do? ( i hope they don't use my logos for the company because they seem to be bullying me because of profit i am making for my company. They have been werid about my company since i joined them emails, pictures and identity protection happened everyday! ).

Do you want to try that again in English. I only understood the first bit about M$ stealing your e-mail. If you want legal advice, maybe you would be better posting on the Consumer Rights forum.

Still not in English, wrong forum and replied to an existing thread.

How much more can you do wrong?

@OP: Go to the right forum and click "New Tread" instead of going into an existing thread and replying. It would also help to write what happened in a more understandable way. Why is the only place you have your company logo an email, which seemed to have disappeared if I understand you correctly? Save it on your PC and make regular backups. Are your sure you want to open a business?
