Managing Your E-Mail



Deleting or Manipulating Multiple Messages

If you have a lot of messages in your inbox, you may sometimes have a need to delete or move many of them at one time. You can do that by clicking on the Manage multiple messages link in your inbox. This displays all messages in such a way that you can highlight several at once.



If you highlight a message and then scroll down to another message, click on it while holding down the [Shift] key to highlight every message in between as shown in the top example to the right.


If you want to highlight only select messages, then hold down the [CTRL] while clicking on the messages you wish to select.
(Second example)




After selecting the messages, you may either click on the [Delete] key or the [Move to Mail Folder] key. (Read, Reply and Forward are single-message only options)
