Computer Stupid !

[Guest hickok45]

Thanks. Got it done!

I guess after 30 years of computing, I'm just still "computer stupid." I get messages that my inbox here is full, but whenever I pop around in there, I don't see a way to delete them.

What am I not seeing? Is the delete button so large that I just can't see it? :-)

Surely, I don't have to open and delete one at a time?

Thanks,

Put a check mark by the ones you want to delete. There is a Selected Messages box at the bottom, click that and then put a dot next to Delete and click Proceed at the bottom.

it depends on what email client (or web based) you are using. The local client stuff (outlook, thunderbird, etc) you can treat them like icons (click and mash the delete key on the keyboard, ctrl or shift clicks can select multiples to delete). Web based clients (you get the email from google in a web page) work as above usually (check box, then choose the delete action from a nearby button or dropdown selection).

Note that you should delete emails with large attachments to clear up a LOT of space from one click. Regular email is tiny, and you need a billion of them to run out of space, but just one large attachment of video, images, or files can fill an inbox in a hurry.

By the way, I love your work.
