For the life of me I can't figure out how to select all in my inbox to delete in one go.

 

Any help appreciated there's 60 odd emails in there just now

select one email, then hold CTRL and A together......

Cheers a big help

Should be a box you can tick, see that you can select individual emails to the left, there should be one at the top to select them all (not 100% sure but I think hotmail has this feature too).

Just had a look, yes there is.

There isn't in the Windows Live Mail Client. PeeWee may have been thinking of Windows Live Mail as in Hotmail/Live Mail via your browser.

 

CTRL + A is the best way of selecting all in the client.

 

Shift + Clicking on the first email you want to delete and clicking on the last email you want to delete is useful also. Allows you to delete a list of emails without deleting them all (or all if you forget how to CTRL+A).

 

Another is CTRL + Clicking on each email you wish to delete. Allows you to select multiple emails to delete/move/mark as read etc. This is more suitable if the emails you wish to delete are fragmented in your inbox. IE:

 

Viagra 110% Off - Mark to delete

Important work email - Keep

Russian girls waiting for you - Mark to delete

Sorry yes I was meaning the browser version. But you can still log in to your browser and follow my steps too.
