how do I delete all my inbox email all at the same time ?

seems like I used to click on " folders " and it had a category for that, but it doesn't work that way anymore. I'd also like to delete all my old mail all at once. I have aol and my puter is an older Compaq .

I found 2 answers on AIL's help site

1. AOLMailRoy Answered:
Towards top of the mail list, right under the buttons (like "Action", "Delete", "Spam") is one checkbox next to the column headers. If you click that checkbox, all checkboxes get selected and you can delete all those items at once. Hope that helps.

2. AOLMailAnandh Answered:

Login to http://mail.aol.com

Enable the check box from the column header (in front of 'From' column).

Click on the 'Delete' button.

Note : You can select maximum of 1000 mails at a time.

It's not marked very well. I have recently discovered it. Yay! I got rid of about a million - it's like magic. Now my inbox is spic and spanl

Be careful to save the ones you want. Uncheck those.

later today, I did it! I found the box to check at the top of the column.Checked it, pushed delete, and Man! it deleted all of them like crazy ! Did the same for old mail. Never knew how to do that before. I'm so happy about it !
Too bad computers don't come with a good manual.Yes, I've bought Windows 98 for Dummies, and I've looked at Gary's " Your PC for Dummies "
