deleteing outlook express e-mails

[m-shell]

hello, can anybody tell me how to delete more than one e-mail at once in outlook express? (i.e. thw whole inbox) thanks.

click on one of the e mails - hold down "Ctrl"- click onto any others you wish to delete,  then press delete (red cross)

Also if you click onto one email and then press ctrl A it will highlight them all then you can delete them all at once

Or highlight one e-mail within the folder, go to the Edit tab, click select all and then delete - same end result.

Easiest way is to do a search for the DBX files, under windows 2000 and XP they are normally in

Documents and settings>%username%>local settings>application data>identities>xxxxxxxx (some long string of letters and numbers)

Oh and you need to go fo folder options and get it to show hidden files and folders (and possibly system files i am not sure)

Alternativly go to the maintenance tab in the options of OE and click on store folder to find out where they are.

Head to that folder and delete inbox.dbx (or rename it to be on the safe side incase you need stuff back from it)

If you click on the first one you want to delete, and then hold down the shift key and click on the last one, that will highlight everything in-between. This is useful if you want to delete, say 6 out of the middle. Then you can delete as normal, or if you then hit the delete key while holding down the shift key, you can delete them forever, and they don't go in the recycle bin ( so be careful).
