			Sender		Subject	Date	Size

Where it says sender there’s a box.This is right at the top of your mail.Click the sender box one time,then hit delete.That will delete everything in that folder,or at least on that page.

The only folders that you can clear in one click are the trash and bulk folders.That button or option is right next to them in the mail page.

Just click empty

I am assuming you can login to Yahoo Mail Beta, which resembles an outlook express program:

* If not, then change your layout to Yahoo Mail beta.

* Use firefox or IE to make sure AJAX works well.

* You will see all the messages in one page (as in outlook express program)

* Press Ctrl-A after selecting any message in the inbox.

* Hit Delete.

* Your inbox should be clear by now. Repeat for all the folders, if you have many folders.

Here is a screenshot of what Yahoo Mail Beta looks like:

This will not delete everything at once, but at about 25 messages at a time it's pretty fast.

"Look at the top of the list of messages"

At the top of your list of messages, there is a small square on the left side, and if you click on it, all the messages will highlight. Then click delete and they'll all be deleted at once. On a Mac, you might be able to use keyboard commands of "apple, A" and hit delete. That does the same thing of highlighting all the messages, and then they can be deleted at once. It's easy if you just look for the little square. I've done it lots of times.

At the top of the page, underneath where it says Inbox there is a drop down list that lets you filter messages. Use it to make sure All Messages is showing. Then you can click on Check All button at the bottom and click delete. Simple.

"Do you think Askville should give us the ability to choose how many and which messages to delete out of our" (1 answer)

mail box? Is this 'feasible'? I would like the ability to select different 'messages' I have in my 'Received' and 'Sent' folders (without getting rid of all of them) that I want too delete but there are some I want. I am getting so many that it takes a very very very long time to open my inbox now, and I dread doing it!

Please give me your ideas. If this isn't a good idea then how can we get rid of them without having to go in ONE at a time? I am not going to do that as it would take forever!

Does anyone have any better an idea for the 'mailbox' problem?

"How do you delete the original text from an e-mail when you reply?" (5 answers)

I used to know how to do this, but have forgotten in my old age. Lots of e-mails, especially in groups, get replied to over and over with all the previous text remaining and growing larger and larger. How do you delete all or part of it?

Also, when some people reply to lengthy messages, they place individual answers between certain portions of the original e-mail message. This is a good way to address each protion separately as you sort through the message. How do you do that?

Thanks, and Merry Christmas.

"I can't delete songs manually on my Sandisk Sansa e250R!" (1 answer)

The Rhapsody edition comes with the Real Player, which I despise, due to the constant error messages it puts on my computer. I am unable to delete files manually on my computer, because when I go to control panel, it adds it as another drive - F:/ e250 - all it gives me are voice, fm, tmp, photo and video folders. THERE IS NO MUSIC FOLDER ANYWHERE! This worked (meaning that the MUSIC folder was there) while on my dad's and grandma's computer - I am scratching my head, wondering where the MUSIC folder is, and why it shows up on other computers, but not mine. I also cannot import any music from the player to my computer, as the MUSIC folder does not show up when I expand the F:/e250 folder. How can I import the files to my computer, and delete some files off of my player?

I thought that I'd add this.You can set Yahoo! mail to display 200 messages per page as well.At that point you can use my suggestion to delete 200 at a time.I haven't tried the best answer suggestions,but it sure seems right.
